I'm going to buy a new router and managed to narrow it down to this 2. https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-wifi-routers/rt-ax53u/ https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-wifi-routers/rt-ax1800hp/ there's about a $10 difference in price where RT-AX1800HP is the more expensive one. But I can't really tell what's different between them other than RT-AX1800HP has 4 ports and RT-AX53U has 3. thank you

i just want the pretty DLSS at a budget

I'm not wanting to get 240fps from Cyberpunk. I just want it to be pretty and have DLSS on a budget.

the 40 series will be too expensive so won't really be budget friendly.

I have a 5600x and a 240hz monitor. I currently have a 1060 6GB Gigabyte G1 https://www.gigabyte.com/ph/Graphics-Card/GV-N1060G1-GAMING-6GD-rev-10#kf I'm looking to upgrade in the near future. What I'm looking for is a card that can handle Cyberpunk with DLSS at 60fps if possible I'm not sure if a 3060 can do that? or should I just go 3070? thank you

that's a valid point, and you're right i don't plan to upgrade for a while after this one and I don't really mind a lower priced mobo. Does anyone know if all of them in the list support secure boot for windows 11?

I think I'll go with MSI MAG B550M Mortar. thank you all for your feedback and help

thanks just noticed the flash button on the rest of them thought it was only the MSI B550-A PRO that had it. though I can always ask the shop to update the bios if it's not yet updated as well

oh thanks you. now it's just to decide which one of those to choose then.

I just based it on what pcpartpicker prompted whenever i selected one of those boards.

this is my existing build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TLnKGL I'm only upgrading the board and cpu. I'm buying locally and have been calling up my local stores for their stock and so far I've narrowed it down to this: for the new build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rJvYwc this 2 doesn't need a bios update ASUS PRIME B550M-A (WIFI) II MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX the list below needs a bios update MSI B550-A PRO MSI MAG B550M Mortar MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk MSI MAG B550M Bazooka I'm more inclined to go with the 2 that doesn't need a bios update since I'm not sure if the store will update the bios for me and i'm not that confident in doing it my self. I'm a software developer and part time gamer. Those in the list are all within my budget. I just don't want to spend money for a board with wifi when I don't need it but might have no choice because it seems to be the most compatible one. also, there's a chance i need to stay with micro-atx because i think i lost my extra standoffs so I have to look for them if I go with an atx board. thank you for your feedback.

those are all part of my existing setup. I'm just upgrading the board and cpu atm. aye, I'm looking around to find one that doesn't need a bios update. I found a few but they all have wifi and i don't need wifi but if i can't really find any better ones I'll just get the one with wifi.

aye it does. Also, PC Part Picker warned about a need to update the bios for the CPU to be compatible but I'm not sure if that applies to all boards as well but looks like I'll have to look around for a diff board that might be cheaper. Does anyone have a recommendation? something with a pre-installed IO shield would be ideal as I've never had one before. I found a better deal and it supports the storage as well: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/d26yyK the board + cpu is bundled for $350 and I can finally use my keyboard in BT mode thanks for all the help everyone and teaching me pc part picker can solve most of my questions. p.s I can't believe i'm only drawing that much power

$340

the board is bundled with ryzen 5 5600x. i have the extra ssd on hand already and was wondering if it's compatible so that i don't have to buy a new one. thank you
