Hey guys... so I have a confession... I have a mac.... But! I would like to bootcamp... the reason is so that I am able to play Among Us on it at my buddies house, and play Battlefield Vietnam (my pc can't run it because the game is so old) But I am limited on storage... So I had an idea... could you make a portable boot drive (on like a 500GB or 250GB external drive) that when plugged into my mac I could boot to it but eject it somehow and use my mac with normal space? If so how would I go about doing this? Thanks for your help... I am a pretty new to booting to different partitions and such, and I just built my pc last month!

Thanks so much! I think I can scrape together $10 bucks or so and I will get the B550-A Pro!

I am soooo close to being finished with my build... I have planned and saved all summer and the last component I need is my mobo... The last time I was looking for them was early June so loooong time ago... My set up is: Ryzen 5 3600 Radeon RX 5600 XT Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB DDR4-3200 What would be the optimal motherboard for $140 or less?

Thanks for all who responded! Lol I am just going to post on ebay for 40 bucks

So I bought 2 Corsair SP120 3 pack sets that each come with a lighting node core... One core can handle six fans which is how many I have so I don't need the other one... What should I do with it? Should I sell it? Does anyone want it?

How much do you care about aesthetic? IF: You don't really care much about how it looks but more about how it preforms, THEN go with @marmours build IF: You would like a pc that you can sit at for hours staring into it's RGB glory, THEN go with my build but lose some computing power...

Plus it is right under your budget by $20 The reason I changed you to NVIDIA is because you said that you wanted to do some streaming in the future... if so then you really want to go with a NVIDIA GPU... much better for streaming with help from NVENC Hope this helps! Good luck!

Ryzen CPUs go better with faster RAM... if you want Ryzen I would recommend the Ryzen 5 3600 with either 3200Mhz or 3600Mhz of RAM... Also if you want to do streaming then I don't think you should go with a AMD GPU... I have nothing against them (in fact I have a 5600xt in my build)... but NVIDIA GPUs are so much better for streaming due to NVENC I like Oswin's build but due to adding the nvidia gpu the build is a tad bit over budget... so I kinda changed a lot of it lol PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PYctDx CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor ($172.49 @ Walmart) Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard ($124.99 @ Best Buy) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory ($62.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Silicon Power A60 256 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($37.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($43.25 @ Amazon) Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB Video Card ($499.99 @ Best Buy) Case: Cougar MX330 ATX Mid Tower Case ($50.98 @ Newegg) Power Supply: Corsair CXM 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply ($79.99 @ Newegg) Total: $1072.67 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-07-03 22:48 EDT-0400 Hope this helps... If you want to stay in budget than I highly recommend going with @Oswin's build... if not and you really want to stream... go with NVIDIA

I ordered the asrock pro4 just yesterday... same cpu...

Great!

I don't think I will... I won't be able to check if a part's price dropped 1 cent or no! lol

I know... the world for pc enthusiasts is ending.

Hey guys, So I joined this forum pretty recently, but started planning my pc build in late March (knowing literally nothing about what goes into a pc and what it would cost)... and as I noticed early on, this was the perfect time to start wanting/saving/planning my first pc build! Especially since everything is out of stock and overpriced due to some pandemic you guys might have heard of called coronavirus.... when do you guys predict the prices to go back to normal?? I mean COVID is dying down... is the end in sight?

Ok... but what is wrong with mx blue

1. Thank you for the response 2. Thanks for the storage suggestion 3. What is wrong with blue?

Yes... I am planning on more demanding games in the future

Budget (including currency): $1000 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Primarily gaming.... CS GO, Subnautica, Phantom Forces, and Minecraft. I might also do some light overclocking... Other details: I already have the monitor, I don’t know exactly the model but I do know that it is 165hz, 1ms, and 27”. I also have the keyboard, cherry mx blue. I would like to go with a white/black/blue theme...
