What does qvl stand for?

Currently looking at the Kingston HyperX Fury would that work?

Currently have a Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 R2 Mobo, but want to upgrade the 6GB RAM to 16 GB. The actual computer isn't with me so I cant take it apart and check what type of RAM I should get, some online research took me to https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_ga-78lmt-usb3-r2.pdf which seems to be the RAM compatibility for the mobo, unfortunately it doesn't make much sense to me. The mobo spec page says 4 DDR3 slots: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-78LMT-USB3-R2-rev-10/sp#sp My questions are basically what RAM types are compatible and what is actually the best value for money RAM as of right now? Thanks in advance

Hey there, i am currently building in the Phanteks Eclipse P400A DRGB case and have the X53 which needs to be mounted, i don't know which way to mount it and where to put the fans. 1) The idea was to mount the radiator at the front and have the 3 preplaced fans at the front for intake, I would then put the 2 NZXT fans at the top for exhaust. 2) Replace the 3 fans at the front and use the 2 NZXT fans at the front then move the 3 drgb fans so that 2 are at the top (idk if it should be exhaust or intake) and 1 is at the back (exhaust). These are the 2 ideas that i was thinking of but I don't know if there would work or even look good. Any suggestions would be helpful. P.S: Extra information to clarify new ideas would be helpful, as I am a first time builder. Also i don't know if this is the right place to post this question so sorry if it isn't. Thanks

I don't need to be at max frame rate for now, I just want to be able to use a good amount of options available to me. Sorry if the message came across unclear.

Hey there, So here's what my situation looks like: I have all the parts besides the GPU. Therefore, I have decided to get a 'stand-in' GPU until either the RTX 3080 or RX 6800XT are in stock. And as soon as I get this GPU i am planning to build the PC and test it out. The reason I am making this post is to ask for any advice or suggestions on what GPU to get in the meanwhile. Ideally the GPU is something that is cheap but can still give good FPS and use the 240Hz on the Odyssey G7. I understand that my processor will probably take most of the workload as a 5900X is a beast. Looking around maximum £150 budget as this is only for a short amount of time. (Although this might change based on any information I get) Thanks

Oh, sorry i did get a bit confused. The CPU im getting is the 5900X, sorry for the confusion

Got it, thanks man

I'm not sure I understand, so high refresh rate on low fps = bad quality? Maybe an example would help

so my monitor is capped at 60Hz till i get a GPU?

Ahh, i see. I'm planning to get the 6800X, does its igpu have enough power to run 144+ Hz displays?

I am going to wait for a GPU and use the integrated graphics (IG) instead, but after some more research I realise that IG is on the CPU. In that case I am getting a 6800X, does that have IG and if so is it good enough? Please bear with me if I sound dumb, i just want to understand what I can run on until I can get my hands on a GPU

I am building my pc and have ordered a decent amount of the parts, however since the GPU's are scarce i was wondering if the MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard can run 144Hz or even 240Hx on my Odyssey G7. Thanks

As per your recommendations i have tweaked the parts list: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor £311.51 @ Overclockers.co.uk CPU Cooler Noctua NH-U14S 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler £62.77 @ Amazon UK Motherboard Asus TUF GAMING B550-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard £137.40 @ Alza Memory Crucial Ballistix 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory £69.59 @ Amazon UK Storage Crucial P2 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive £84.99 @ Amazon UK Video Card Asus GeForce RTX 3070 8 GB STRIX GAMING Video Card £643.67 @ Overclockers.co.uk Case Phanteks Eclipse P500A D-RGB ATX Mid Tower Case £133.07 @ Overclockers.co.uk Power Supply EVGA G3 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply £105.46 @ Scan.co.uk Monitor LG 27GL850-B 27.0" 2560x1440 144 Hz Monitor £339.00 @ Currys PC World Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total £1887.46 Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-11-13 14:12 GMT+0000 The only thing I might change is the GPU even though according to reviews it is worth the extra ~£60. Thank you for the help and if u have anything else to add it would be much welcomed - like when to buy the parts for the best deals. Edit: Just saw that at the bottom of the parts list there are some notes, i understand the BIOS update one but cannot verify the ones to do with the case. It would be helpful if i could get some clarification on that.
