Prebuilt

GHUB is know to have issues. I cannot connect my G502 nor my G512. Maybe try changing the audio settings on your PC. You should be able use your headset without a software.

Chances of getting one from the original price is, fairly low. You will probably stay up late at night just before it releases or something and quickly snag one online. Just try and beat the scalpers to it.

Not the safest but if you don't knock it over you should be fine lol. I wouldn't personally do this I would just buy a cheap CPU clam-shell box. Edit: they are pretty cheap so consider buying the box, but if your motherboard ships fast within a few days or so then don't buy it.

RTX 3000 has second generation ray-tracing, AMD 6000 is only first gen. RTX 3000 is more mature in most games with RTX on or off but AMD does make good GPUs. Mostly I would choose RTX 3000 unless you can take advantage of AMD Smart Access Memory with AMD CPU and GPU. But I would say the competition is very tight. Pretty even to me in most cases.

Yes the Scythe Fuma 2 is definitely on my list. I checked out the Arctic, I think I am going to go with it. But it does look a little more dull imo XD

Noctua fans seems slightly expensive than others. Sure I have the budget but I still want to see if I can save more money. Are there any alternatives? Thanks!

Yeah it should since it is the top spec RTX 3000 card (NVIDIA doesn't count RTX 3090 as top spec since its more like the TITAN RTX sort of card).

I have had the same issues as you before on games like COD MW, Valorant and Apex Legends. Lowing the settings works good for me, there are still some FPS spikes for me, but they are either subtle or they don't happen as often.

What settings do you play on games? If you play on maxed out settings, try disabling a few of the settings or lowing them and see if there is an FPS increase.

Do you have overheating issues? If components overheat, they may drop their performance so that they do not overheat. Try checking the temperature of both the CPU and GPU while your PC is on idle and while gaming.

With browns the tactile feel is more subtle, more like a light bump. With blue switches, the tactile feel is thicker, more like a click.

Thx guys!

I have been waiting for a while to build a new PC. But I was wondering if I should get Zen 3 or Rocket Lake?

My goodness you got a decent deal... I'm jealous.

Always the sales coming in to save the day.

Do you have a particular budget, form factor or switch type?

Yeah their headsets are very good.

Personally I have never used HyperX products.

Yes this keyboard does have good reviews on it, there is a TKL version. There is also another version called the Alloy FPS RGB which used the Kailh Speed Silver switches (like Cherry MX Silvers, but the Kailh has slightly faster actuation at 1.1mm)

I also want to mention that I use the Logitech G512 SE with the blue Kailh switches. My opinion is, is that they switches provide a meh tactile feedback. You feel it but I would like it to be a little more clicky. Especially if you are gaming and you are mashing the keys, they feel like browns or even reds sometimes. Since the PRO X is a hot-swappable keyboard I do suggest to buy after-market Kailhs like Box-Jades for a more tactile feedback, or sometimes the Kailh Speed Gold which are clicky switches with actuation point of 1.4mm and Kailh Speed Bronze with an actuation point of 1.1mm (only choose these if gaming performance is a priority but you still want click switches.)

No problem

Yes O-Rings do dampen noises from the keyboard. Just added under the keycaps. Thicker O-Rings will dampen the noises more but will add more mushy-ness and vice versa.

The Logitech G PRO X seems ok, you can get those in blue Kailh switches, its TKL and has hot-swappable PCB (swapping out switches without soldering)

In fact lets just say that most linear or tactile keyboards are quieter than blues anyways.

By any means they are not the quietest, but the click low profile switches are relatively quiet for clicky switches.
