  1. For modern games, I would say go ahead and start fresh. sucks, but the motherboard doesn't have much of an upgrade path ahead.
  2. People commented on the main issues, but another big one for me is the case and the fans. Try and get a modern case, spend less on rgb fans, get better case with better airflow. It's easy to get different fans eventually. also no 120mm aio
  3. I would get the Glorious GMMK (whichever switches or colors you want) then either immediatly throw on better pbt keycaps, or using the doubleshot abs keycaps until they are worn out then getting pbt keycaps. Edit: Forgot to add it is hot swap so that you can switch the key switches without any soldering any time
  4. You should be able to change the fan curve in the bios. You can adjust it from their to fit your liking on noise to performance. I would go for it to be around 65c while gaming, but it is completely up to you
  5. As much as I hate to say this, right now it seems that prebuilts are the way to go because of the shortages. If you do get a prebuilt you can always upgrade it. What is your budget ?
  6. Thanks, I didn't notice that, what do you think would be better the commuter series or the defender?
  7. I was looking for the most durable case, preferably under 60 USD. I don't care about the looks, but I want something that will protect the phone. I was hoping to put a screen protector on it as well.
  8. Looks great. One suggestion, you should upgrade your mousepad to a full deskpad. It seems dumb, but it is really nice
  9. Just wondering, what don't you like about the controller? is there something wrong with it, or do you just not like it, and where did you get the controller
  10. If you choose to get new mouse feet, they will wear in eventually and slow down, but there are fast mousepads that stay out there. What be your budget if you were to get a new one? The Artisan Hien just statred being sold in the us and is about ~70 USD. That mousepad is fairly fast and is durable
  11. I just realized I linked the wrong one lol, they do have a tkl version of it though
  12. It is overpriced imo, but the g915 from Logitech might work for what you want. Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED Wireless RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
  13. I am build a new pc for my brother and when I go to press the power button, nothing happens. No Fans spin, no rgbs come on, and I am wondering what is wrong. (The GPU a placeholder GPU and prices are not accurate to what I got them for) Full Specs are PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU Intel Core i3-10100 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor $145.00 @ Amazon CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition 42 CFM CPU Cooler $39.99 @ Amazon Motherboard Asus PRIME H510M-E Micro ATX LGA1200 Motherboard Memory Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory $86.99 @ Amazon Storage Crucial P2 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive $104.95 @ Amazon Video Card XFX Radeon RX 560 - 896 2 GB Video Card Case Thermaltake Versa J24 RGB ATX Mid Tower Case $189.95 @ Amazon Power Supply EVGA BR 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply $45.54 @ Amazon Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $612.42 Generated by PCPartPicker 2021-03-20 22:53 EDT-0400 I have already tried reseating the CPU and all Power Supply Cables and have made sure the Front panel connectors are plugged in correctly and tried using the screw driver method. We do have a voltage detector pen and it shows electricity all throughout the cables and ports, but when I get to the power switch pins, nothing is detected. I was wondering whether I am doing something incorrectly, or if the motherboard is dead.
  14. It does not seem like it would fit unfortunately. The case has a 160mm cpu cooler clearence, and the nh-d15 with a fan is 165mm. But this is just from the information from the manufacturers website, so i do not have any first hand experience with the combo
  15. I wouldn't use that psu, Try and get a good quality 450w psu as that would be more then enough
  16. you should be able to find a m.2 standoff for sale somewhere online, I would try that before anything else
  17. What would be your main use for it? If it is just gaming, than intel has slightly better performance, but ryzen is better for multi threaded workloads.
  18. You can swap the switches, but it will involve desoldering the switches off the pcb, and then soldering new switches back on, which can be pretty tricky without experience working with soldering irons previously
  19. that bread looks pretty bad, I can go to the local bakery by me and get better bread.
  20. what power supply do you have? I would also DDU the drivers, and check temps to make sure everything is working well. hwinfo should work well for that
  21. look at the used market for something like a ryzen 1600 and b450 mobo, and maybe a rx 570? right now is a bad time to build a pc due to tariffs so everything is more expensive so you should just wait a couple months imo.
  22. Amazon.com: VESA Certified DisplayPort Cable,Capshi 4K DP Cable Nylon Braided -(4K@60Hz, 2K@165Hz) Ultra High Speed DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable 6.6ft for Laptop PC TV etc- Gaming Monitor Cable (Grey) : Electronics this seems pretty good as it is vesa certified, but I do not have this so I can not say completely. In general I have not really had any issues with any of cables off of amazon that have good reviews but your mileage may vary.
  23. Pc One (Gaming PC): plays all of the games, none of the encoding Pc Two (Stream PC): Encodes the stream, and they a lot of times have things like OBS and their chat up. It is mainly for better fps and lower input lag in game, and higher quality streams
