  1. Do you think spending 200+$ on a motherboard with on board wifi is more cost efficient as opposed to just getting a wifi adapter/wifi card
  2. Asus has a dual fan model at 304 and the TUF model, which also has two fans at 309. Would they both be basically the same thing?
  3. For the 1660 super, how much of a difference can I expect between the MSI at 365$, the EVGA at 319$, the gigabyte at 355$ the ASUS at 309$? Is it worth spending the extra 50$ for the MSI or would the ASUS/EVGA be just as good an alternative? I think I read the ASUS card has very poor cooling?
  4. Hello, first time poster, long time Linus fan here! After a lot of saving up, I finally have 1200$ I don't have to spend on rent, food, car repairs, etc. and can finally buy the computer I've always wanted. My budget will be 1200$, I can go over if it's for taxes and whatnot, but I would like to be in around 1200$ Canadian. The current components I have 'decided' on (completely set to change depending on your advice) are as follows: - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (was going to go 3600x, but from what I've read it's not worth the extra 30$?) - 16GB 3200MHz ram (Gskill or Corsair if it ever goes on sale) - GTX 1660 Super 6GB (I have no knowledge when it comes to GPUs, this is what was recommended by a Canada Computers employee for my price range...) - Crucial 1TB SSD (This has already been purchased as I got it on sale quite cheap. - Corsair 550W Bronze Rated PSU None of these components are a must as it's all just based off a talk with a Canada Computers employee and one Reddit post. Please recommend me a motherboard (preferably with WIFI capabilities) and a better graphics card if needed. As well as any changes you could see me needing. I would like to stick to AMD if possible as the path to upgrading in the future seems much more reasonable and fluid. I will be doing video editing, music production, photo editing, gaming at 1080-1440p and running lots of emulators for older GameCube, PS2 and Xbox games. Thank you!
