    Go to the Legacy Sound Settings and there are options to manually adjust volume on left and right channels.

     
    If you are using Windows 11, you can directly do this in the settings app.

    Looks good to me! Thanks! It looks like the 5700 XT is better at call of duty than the 2070 super which is good because that is what I want to play the most.

    Is a 1TB ssd too much?
     
    I made some changes to accommodate a better power supply, and a cpu cooler to replace the stock one, which is important when in a smaller case

Which you shouldn't miss anyways.

    Fairly better. GPU temperatures will be better.
    I might also take a look at a Define Nano S.
    It should be updated by now, theres a chance the B450 board hasnt been. If it's not- a computer shop should do it for free or at a really low cost. If you don't want to do that, you can get a boot kit from AMD.

    it's not bad, but the motherboard is fairly basic so mind the lack of features in case that was relevant.
     
    although since the power supply is unknown I'd be hesitant.

    A religious question.  For games?  Now?  No.  For the next year or so?  No.  In the farther future? Possibly eventually maybe.  It all depends how future coders wind up writing games, and how important multithreading winds up being.  Which is why it’s a religious question.  It’s got 8 very fast cores, but it has no multithreading.  Some say no some say maybe.  A 9900k solves any possible issues, but it does it for a lot more money. A 3700k is slower now but might (only might) wind up remaining usable, if not fast, for longer, so you might possibly wind up having to replace it sooner.  Different people are predicting different things.  4/8 is outlasting 4/4.  Is it doing it merely because 4/8 is about 20% faster than 4/4 though?  There is disagreement.  And nothing has happened yet.  Right now, and for the next year at least, it’s faster.  Whether or not after that it will slow down more rapidly than a slower multithreaded chip is attempting to predict the future, which is a famously unreliable thing to do.

    A lot of streamers are actually using the video card to stream video so the processor matters very little in the encoding video sense... it matters only for the actual games. 
     
    They may use 9900k and other high end Intel processors due to the old idea/reason (and which was true until recently) that Intel processors had slightly higher IPC and reached higher frequencies (like 5 ghz for example), giving a few extra fps in some games that like higher clocks.
    With Ryzen 3rd generation the AMD cpus are more or less equivalent with Intel processors, and in some games even faster so you can safely go with Ryzen 3rd generation and get very high frame rates and so on.
    Some video cards are powerful enough to create 2 encodings, one for streaming (at lower bitrate like 6-10mbps) and a higher quality encoding (like 60-100mbps) for archival (or to create youtube videos after the live twitch streaming, for example) at the same time, without affecting the game performance much (a few fps loss at most)
     
    Some streamers use a 2nd video card like GT1650 or 1060 to encode the archival version, or have a second PC and stream basically an uncompressed version of the game capture to the 2nd pc and the 2nd pc saves it at high quality.
     
    An 8 core Ryzen 3rd gen or higher would be powerful enough that you would be able to stream game to Twitch or whatever using the video card to encode, and you could also reserve a couple of cpu cores to create an archival version to your computer using software encoder.

    if you wanna do it all on one box, i'd say ryzen 3rd gen, or zen2 threadripper if you can squeeze that into the budget.
     
    to be blatantly honest, the reason why the big guys tend to have intel extreme edition stuff is either sponsorship or a "whatever, i can afford it" mindset. there's nothing wrong with the intel extreme edition options, they're just not for someone who has a budget to consider.

    the performance difference isn't nearly as significant as the price hike tho, I'd steer away from them. Not like RTX features run much better there either.
     
    btw changed the build because the TU150 either holds a 2 slot GPU and 2 120mm case fans, or a 3 slot GPU without case fans. 2.7 slot cards like the Gaming X are in a bad position since their fans are too far away from the case to pull air in directly, but thick enough to block extra case fans

    It depends if you plan to stream on the same computer as you are gaming on, or if you got a extra system to do that.

    If you want software encoding on a medium preset Ryzen is the way to go, if you want performance and want to use NVENC on a 16xx series or 20xx series Nvidia GFX Card.

    I would tell you to go and take a look on Alpha Gaming's YouTube Channel, he talks alot about what options you got - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCATWC1JSlhzmYeDbjnS8WwA

    Heh. About the same.  I’ve been hanging about trying to learn stuff to prep for doing that.  What I have discovered so far:
     
    AMD v. Intel:
    AMD is hot right now because the’ve been getting single core scores as good or nearly as good as Intel while having more threads and costing less money.  OC is viable for Intel, though less so than before, but it’s near pointless on ryzen2. The chips sort of self overclock which is why they’re kind of pointless to hand overclock.  Multithreading has gained value.  My current opinion is that the 8700k and the 9700k are kind of tossup chips because while the 8700k is slower and has fewer cores, it has hyperthreading whereas the 9700k doesn’t.  The most favored CPU atm is the AMD 3600 which is cheaper than both of them and is sort of a not-quite-as-good 8700k for almost a Benjamin less money.  
    Consoles:
    The new console systems are coming out moderately soon and may or may not really shake things up on the GPU and storage side. They’re slow 8/16 AMD CPUs, which is the basis for the question of the projected possible value of smt/hyperthreading having increased value for gaming.
    Motherboards:
    Pcie4.0 is just starting to emerge, but isn’t actually good for much yet.  GPUs still can’t saturate much more than half a pcie3.0.
    AMD has pcie4.0. Intel doesn’t.
    m.2
    Speed wise m.2 vs SSD isn’t quite what SSD was vs HD.  Part of the issue is they’re both so fast that they are effectively instant.  Having an nvme only really makes a difference for gigantic files which games don’t really use, so for many instances there’s no noticeable gain at all.  Mostly m.2 is sometimes cheaper.  It may matter a lot though when the consoles come out.  Some new games may actually make use of that speed.  None have so far though.  I’m seeing a lot of builds with an nvme and a big HD for storage much as there was a point when people were buying tiny SSDs for the OS and a HD for everything else.
    Lights: 
    RGB remains proprietary and the makers are resisting standardization so atm you have to pick a brand.

They at best hold long graphics cards. TU150 has a love handle at the top so I picked that. Unfortunately there aren't many RGB air coolers so even Deepcool will have to do, Deepcool case fans there so all fans look the same. No RGB on the memory stick because 1) the air cooler blocks it from view anyway and 2) RGB kits with the same specs cost twice as much. This is a cheap Samsung B-die kit btw
