Am I dumb ? Yes I am. Fixed, thanks

Thank you @brob. After careful consideration, we decided to go with AMD. The decision was made based on the fact that any scenario where the Intel chip is superior is only secondary to the future user. The core mission of Unreal Engine work has precedence, hence AMD. This is the parts selection: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/anicecupofjoe/saved/Py9JnQ Hopefully no mistakes were made in the selection of parts. Feel free to comment and/or destroy me for the choices, I'm always eager to learn. Thank you all for your help, I had a lot of catchup to do.

Thanks you all for suggesting going with Intel 12th gen, I didn't realise that they were so competitive. As for going with DDR5 I'm not sure it would be wise as it's quite recent. Price and latency values won't be attractive for some more time. Another proof that my parts-list could improved by a lot, thanks. I have used your suggestions to produce this Intel based pats-list that I think is super attractive, especially since we can get the 128Gb of RAM within the initial price enveloppe which is unexpected to be frank. My choices of storage motherboard and PSU were indeed not best, among other problems. Here is the Intel based machine: https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/mMqqsL Thank you all very much. I'm going to refine the AMD build, submit both to my friend and discuss with him. Coming to you guys was definitely the right choice, Thank you so much EDIT: Edited the link to the build which I screwed up

Budget (including currency): 2K€ (+/- 200€) Country: France Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Unreal Engine Hi everyone, Last time I built a machine was 6 years ago (hello gray hair). I'm tasked with building a UE workstation for 2K€ with 200€ wiggle room (Case and internal components only, GPU excluded [the person already owns an RTX 3080 Ti]). I referred to Puget System's UE builds and Performance guide, and tried to build something similar. https://www.pugetsystems.com/recommended/Recommended-Systems-for-Unreal-Engine-200 https://www.pugetsystems.com/recommended/Recommended-Systems-for-Unreal-Engine-200/Hardware-Recommendations Since I've been out-of-the-loop when it comes to PC hardware for the last few years, I just wanted to have your opinion on the compatibility of the parts. - Are we going to be ok with CPU-Fan case-clearance and RAM-clearance ? - The case was well reviewed by GamerNexus and apparently allows for decent airflow. Am I going to be ok with GPU length though ? - PC Parts Picker lets me know that the MoBo I chose might need a Bios Flash before allowing Zen3 CPUs to work. I don't have an older AMD CPU at hand. Is it possible to flash the BIOS without a CPU present ? - Finally, do you have a trustworthy source to recommend for PSU reviews ? I'm rusty and may very well have poorly selected the components. Here is the parts list. I'm open to suggestions: Case - Fractal Design Meshify 2 Motherboard - MSI MAG X570S TOPERDO MAX CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU Fan - Noctua NH-U12A RAM - G.Skill RipJaws V (2x32) (this was chosen to allow for an upgrade to 4x32 later on) System Storage - Samsung 860 Evo 2 TB UE Projects Storage - Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB Power Supply - Corsair HX Platinum 750 W 80+ GPU - Already Owned Gigabyte RTX 3080 Ti Gaming OC 12G PC Parts Picker's total price: €2062.94 I supose we will manage to shave that by price hunting. - Thank you very much for your time and suggestions people, I'd rather have it looked at by people more in the know. I've been out of the scene for too long

You can use a single liner when only remapping one key to another, single one, just like we do with F6::^v. A single key is mapped to a single, other keyu (well, a combination in this case). To execute more, you need to write an actual routine. Like so: #NoEnv #Persistent #SingleInstance, Force F6:: Send, ^v{Enter} Return If your use case requires a pause between the two, Add a Sleep instructions between keys. Like so: Where xxx is the time you want the script to wait betweeen the two, in milliseconds.

Works well after multiple tests on my side. Are you sure that the name you gave to the file containing the first script perfectly matches the name specified in the second script ? For example: First script is named: mainScript.ahk Second script contains: PostMessage, "ciao", , , , mainScript.ahk Also just tried with the second script compiled as a .exe and the behavior is the same. Still works. Check that names match (case sensitive) and tell me.

I see, then here's how to do it. The main script, still to be placed in shell:startup if you want it to start automatically. Let's say you name the file "myscript.ahk" #NoEnv #Persistent #SingleInstance, Force OnMessage("ciao", "closeScript") Gui, Show Return F10::^v closeScript() { Exitapp } And the termination script, that you save under another name, say on your desktop: PostMessage, "ciao", , , , myscript.ahk That second script only sends the message "ciao" to the first one (therefore the name at the end of the line, and the name of the first script have to match). The first script listens for this message and exits when it receives it. If you need the second script to be a .exe, right click on it and click on "compile script". AutoHotKey wil compile it into a .exe file that will appear in the same folder.

If you'd rather want the option to toggle the F10 >> Paste hotkey on and off, without terminating the script entirely, try this: #NoEnv #Persistent #SingleInstance, Force ; replace 1 with 0 if you want the hotkey to be off by default hotkeyOn := 1 F10:: if (hotkeyOn) { Send, ^v } else { Send, {F10} } Return F12:: if (hotkeyOn) { hotkeyOn := 0 } else { hotkeyOn := 1 } Return This version of the script starts with the F10 >> Paste hotkey ON. Simply replacing the 1 on line 6 with a 0 will make it start being OFF. The F12 key allows you to toggle the F10 between an ON and OFF state, and the script keeps running for later reactivation/use of the F10 hotkey.

The easiest would be to add another hotkey to the script that simply terminates it. For example, you could add another line with the following: F11::ExitApp Quite simple !

Install autohotkey. Create a text file and paste this code in there. Then rename the file as name_you_like.ahk instead of .txt If you want to have this script ready everytime your computer starts, type > WindowsKey+R > shell:startup > press enter A folder opens. Place the script inside. That's your statup folder. If the script is placed here, it will start everytime you log into your computer. #NoEnv #Persistent #SingleInstance, Force F10::^v You can replace F10 as the trigger with anything you like. useful resources here

Your script is fine, you only need to add the *RunAs verb, which runs the specified executable with administrator privileges. Line 3 of your script should then becomes: RunWait, *RunAs PowerShell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -File %psScript%

This AHK script does the following: Waits for CTRL+Enter When CTRL+Enter > if not already running, sends the strokes sequence once, then repeats it every 20 seconds with a timer > if already running, stops the timer #NoEnv #Persistent #SingleInstance, Force ^Enter:: if (!isRunning) { isRunning := 1 GoSub, cycle SetTimer, cycle, 20000 } else { isRunning := 0 SetTimer, cycle, off } Return cycle: Send, {Up}+{F10}{Down}{Enter}{Enter} Return To change the trigger hotkey, replace line 5 at your convenience: useful resources here Let me know if it does the trick

You can install the AHK interpreter on your machine, and then write a script in the ahk language. With that script you can map your keyboard as long as it's recognized and works on the machine. The absence of iCue or Synapse should not preclude you from doing so, as long as the keyboard works. I have a Corsair K70 keyboard and iCue is not installed. I run ahk scripts to remap some parts of the keyboard and it works. Now, if your question is whether you could store the scripts in the keyboard so that it runs on any computer you plug it to, the answer is: - The computers you would plug it to still need to have the AHK interpreter installed (aka autohotkey, the software). - The ahk script would have to be stored in the keyboard's memory, which should be accessible by the computer as would a USB stick, which I don't think is the case. I'm not too sure about what you are asking exactly so don't hesitate to come back with more questions and details if you need.

What do you mean by "hotspot" ? Try to define your need more precisely and I can help. Assigning hotkeys to do it shouldn't be hard. The AutoHotKey language is indeed very well suited for what you need. Rebooting and launching x programs with a hotkey is doable too. Specify what you want precisely and I'll try to produce something.

Glad I could help Don't forget to mark the thread as solved (if that's a thing here, don't know, just registered).
