  1. Low budget: Phanteks ECLIPSE P300A MESH EDITION High budget under the desk: Fractal Design Define 7 or Torrent, each with solid side panel
  2. If you are fine with 60-80 FPS, you don't really need 180 Hz. With the RTX 3060 I would go for a 1440p 75 Hz 27 inch monitor. Personally I use the RTX 2070, which has about the same performance and I bet you will never want to go back to 1080p.
  3. I didn't even know you could open a prebuild, replace components and still get warranty. I mean... If you install bad components and it stops working, it's your problem, right? Can't you go to the store where you bought the PC and return it in person? This way you wouldn't have to pay for shipping.
  4. The Intel processor has internal graphics, so you can leave out the graphics card until next gen comes or until you really need it for gaming. The motherboard saves you 170 €, the torrent case should be better for air cooling than the meshify one, the 850 W power supply is much more future proof for about the same price. So I think for just coding and compiling, you can save a lot of money.
  5. I would go for this: https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/ytjRwc
  6. Alright. If you are not planning on overclocking, the Ryzen 5900X needs about 133 W on heavy load. So bequiet! Shadow Rock Slim 2 for up to 160 W, bequiet! Dark Rock Slim for up to 180 W or a similar sized Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black should be fine. If you want to just get better fans, you could go for 3 of the new bequiet! silent wings 4 or Arctic F14 Silent if you want something cheaper. So you wouldn't even need a new case, unless you want one. So if you go for arctic, your PC could be quiet for like 80 bucks, if your power supply is quiet.
  7. What's your hardware? Do you want to cool an overclocked 12900K and a RTX 3090 Ti? Or just an i3/i5 office PC with internal graphics? For my build (see down below) I use a quiet slim air cooler and it's perfectly quiet and fine. The loudest thing in my system is the graphics card. So the Define R7 can reduce your graphic's card's noise, but if I would get a newPC, I would probably go for the Fractal Design Torrent Compact with a quiet graphics card like the RTX 3070/80 from ASUS and Noctua. Also I wouldn't get a HDD. It's cheap and a lot of storage but it makes noise too.
  8. 16 GB memory are recommended for most modern games. It depends on your budget. If your budget is 50 USD, get the RAM. If you budget is 500 USD, get the xbox. If your budget is >= 1000 USD, get a new PC. The xbox will probably get you the best gaming performance for the money.
  9. Did you install your RAM into the slots A2 and B2? (From left to right: No RAM, RAM, No RAM, RAM)
  10. It's about the effort / value ratio. Hiring the world's best lock picker will be pretty expensive for just 1 household and it's pretty risky if you don't know, if someone's home. Hacking data about 1 000 000 households is much more profitable.
  11. The only storage in the system is an SSD. Unfortunately, the textures stay the same, when waiting. It works on my system with the RTX 2070 in 1440p.
  12. Hi, I recently built a PC for a friend with these parts: Intel Core i5-11400F (CPU) Crucial Ballistix 2x 8 GB DDR4-3200 (RAM) Gigabyte B560M Aorus Elite (Mainboard) ASUS DUAL-GTX1660S-O6G-EVO (Graphics card) Alpenföhn Dolomit advanced (CPU cooler) Alpenföhn Wing Boost 3 ARGB Triple (fans) Phanteks P300A Mesh (Case) Crucial P2 1 TB (SSD) Corsair RM750 (PSU) I installed Windows 10 Home OEM, I downloaded and installed all the drivers I could find (including the 1660S driver from ASUS), I ran windows update and installed steam, ARK Survival Evolved and some other programs. I also changed the fan profiles in the BIOS... Anyway, when we play ARK Survival Evolved, it looks like this (It looks like this tree, but this is a screenshot from the internet): So there are sharp edges, but the textures are not even close to detailed. 1. Try: Different graphics settings (low,medium, high, epic) change the look of the sky, but the textures stay like this. 2.Try: The internet recommended to check the "Resolution Scale" option in the graphics settings. It's on max. and when we turn it down, the edges are not sharp anymore, so that's not the problem. 3. Try: The internet recommended to start the game from steam in the DirectX 10 mode to make it work properly for older graphics cards. That didn't help too. Do you guys have any more ideas? My next thoughts would be to look for different graphics drivers (maybe from NVIDIA?) or to reinstall the whole game, but 300 GB is a lot to reinstall EDIT: By the way, the game is not lagging or anything. It runs very smoothly in 1080p. Also no used components. Everything's new.
  13. It's not a bad build for the price, but I use a RTX 2070 for 1440p gaming and I get like 60 FPS in ANNO 1800 and ARK Survival Evolved. RTX 2070 and RTX 3060 have about the same performance. So you will get less FPS than that (or not max.settings). So with your monitor, you should at least get a higher wattage power supply, so you can upgrade your graphics card. I would recommend going for the H510 Flow. It looks pretty good, it's about the same but with better cooling. And be aware that HDDs make noise.
  14. The Prodigy M 2022 has a mesh front, but the power supply might be in the way of airflow. ASUS TUF Gaming GT501 is bigger, but it has handles. Most cases with handles are ITX.
  15. That's a very generous offer. If you want, you can try, but I can't expect that from a stranger. My idea was to take screenshots from here: https://www.google.com/maps/@55.9608407,25.3141508,4758873m/data=!3m1!1e3 (Europe) To scale it up, set the opacity to like 50 % and fit in the zoomed in screenshots.
  16. They deliver the wall paper in 50 cm wide stripes anyway, creating the stripes as seperate images one by 1 should be a good idea. Thanks!
  17. Hi, the idea is to order a custom photo wallpaper for a room in a house. I found a german company for this. They need JPG, TIFF or PNG, they support up to 1200 DPI and the max. file size is 500 MB. The image should be a map of europe with a height of 2 or 3 meters but with like 600 DPI to show all the details. So my idea was to simply take a lot of screenshots and to put them together, but I noticed, I can't create an image with 50000x50000 pixels because it would take like 20 GB. Do you guys have any idea, how this could be realized?
  18. Under full load, 500 W might not be enough, but if you just want to boot, it's fine and this way, you would know if your new power supply is broken.
  19. This sounds like, there is not enough power to power the graphics card and the AIO fans at the same time. So it could also be a power supply problem. Like I said, a connector could be loose. Or you can try to swap power supplies with your old system.
  20. This will not work, because your CPU does not have an internal graphics processing unit.
