  1. Thank you again and the type-C was the original thing that brought this question on. My goal was to have working ports even if speeds are not fully supported. I will be sure to due much more research on what adapters I need. I think I should have all the basic information that I was missing to learn which adapters I need. Also Thanks for pointing out the male/female size difference. I'm sure to have missed that if you hadn't mentioned it.
  2. Thank you for that. I tried googling the adapter but couldn't find what I was looking for. I added the keyword header and I find a whole list of items lol. Also just to confirm, the type-c header is the same as a usb 3.0 header? Thank you as well for the riser cable information. My biggest concern was getting a cable that was too small or too large. I don't think that company has PCIe 4.0 risers yet and I would like to take full advantage of the new Radeon GPUs (if I manage to get them)
  3. Sorry if that sounded confusing. I'm trying to plug in the front io of the case to the motherboard for it to work. For an example, usb 3.0 pins on the motherboard plugs in to the case to run the front usb 3.0 port. In my situation, the case has 5 ports with one being a type c, while the motherboard only has 4 connectors for the case. My question was adapters to allow all of the case usb ports to be functional. Also the off topic question about riser cables.
  4. I am still new to building PCs and I am unsure how to research this properly and was hoping to get some help. I am getting the Phantek Enthoo 719 case (http://www.phanteks.com/Enthoo-719.html) With the ROG Strix x570-E motherboard (https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-Strix-X570-E-Gaming/) For the Phantek case, the front connections feature: 4x 3.0 USB Type A and 1x 3.1 USB Type C (Gen 2) ports The X570-E motherboard has: 2x usb 2.0; 1x usb 3.2 gen 2 10gb/s; and 1 usb 3.2 gen 2 5gb/s connectors. I know there are converters out there but I don't know the right key words to look them up. My questions for everyone: What converters are available to optimize these connections? Are there any splitter connections that might split 2 of the case's Type A ports to allow connection between all 5 to function with the 4 options the motherboard offers? Any other tips I should know? I am fine with lowering the overall speed of the ports so long as I can find a way to allow all the ports to function. Also on a side note, I was thinking of using a riser cable for this. What would be the best way to figure out the cable length I would need? Thank you in advance for the assistance!
  5. ya, it might not be the best for heavy gaming. Also Quadro is nvidia it seems.
  6. Hello everyone, I am planning my future pc build as my current one is a mid tier build from 6 years ago and the first PC I built myself. I plan on basing my new build around the new gen Ryzen that should be coming out by the end of the year. Budget (including currency): ~ $3,000 USD Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming, Streaming and video editing Other details This is my build so far: PCPartPicker Part List Motherboard: *Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming ATX AM4 Motherboard ($296.66 @ B&H) Memory: *G.Skill Trident Z RGB 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory ($264.99 @ Newegg) Storage: *Samsung 970 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($319.98 @ Amazon) Storage: *Samsung 970 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($319.98 @ Amazon) Video Card: *Asus Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB STRIX Gaming OC Video Card ($449.99 @ B&H) Case: *Phanteks Enthoo 719 ATX Full Tower Case ($189.99 @ Amazon) Power Supply: Corsair RMx (2018) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($139.16 @ Amazon) Case Fan: PC Cooler Moonlight 54 CFM 120 mm Fans 5-Pack ($59.99 @ Amazon) Total: $2040.74 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available *Lowest price parts chosen from parametric criteria Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-08-22 17:29 EDT-0400 Now here are my questions for everyone: Note: RGB is second to everything else and can be eliminated to save budget and performance if needed. I am also not concerned for the noise level of the build and I do plan on overclocking. I play games, VR and stream and this build hopefully will last roughly 10 years with minor upgrades. 1. Does anyone else have any other x570 MBs they could recommend that might be better? I'm looking for something with similar I/O and can run HDDR 4 3200 - 3600 ram. Also same price or cheaper. 2. I will be going with an AIO water cooling and will be my first time using water cooling. Any tips or recommendations for water cooling? I like the digital displays on some water cooling blocks that display the temps or custom images. 3. The GPU I am heavily debating on as this would be the most expensive part of my build. I plan on using this build for the next 10 years so I am fine paying the premiums but there is still the price to performance and over paying on certain cards. Right now I have the RX 5700 but was thinking of going with the new RTX 3000 series when it is released. Should I wait for other companies to release their custom RTX cards or go with Nvidia's founder's edition? I know the founder's edition will have the best quality silicon for overclocking but that might not be the best as other companies will have better cooling solutions. Again would like the opinions of more experienced people. 4. Would there be much of a proformance boost going from a 3200 ram to a 3600 ram? I know going over 4000 gives you very little but I can't remember where the sweet spot is. 5. Lastly, any overall recommendations for anything else in the build. I don't want to sacrifice performance for aesthetics but if anyone has any nicer looking parts of equivalent to what I have, I would love to check it out. I am thinking of using the case, power supply, and (possibly) the ram sticks but if anyone has better recommendations that could better fit in with this build, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my mammoth of a post and helping to answer my questions!
