Opinions on first build in a while?
waggythegeek replied to waggythegeek's topic in New Builds and Planning
Sick, thx. Sounds like 4 cores is still the standard for gaming, but other programs have picked up a little more on using more than that for multitasking since I've been away? -

Thoughts on a 3300X instead of the 3600? Looks to be cheaper and higher clocked at the cost of 2 cores... When I last paid attention 4 cores seemed like the standard, is that still the case? Or is it worth to have 6? -

The PSU is B+ tier on the forum's tier list, which is about what I was shooting for, any reason in particular you don't like it? -

Did you meen 3200 speed RAM? 3600 seems excessive -
Budget (including currency): $1000ish Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming mostly, and some software development. Other details Here's the parts list I cooked up, however seeing as this is my first time designing a rig in years, I wanna get some opinions here and see what I may have missed. What are people's thoughts on this build? I want a 2000 series card for the video codec, and MicroATX or smaller is the preferred form factor, this case is about as big as I'm willing to go.

Small form factor microATX case recommendations?
waggythegeek replied to waggythegeek's topic in Cases and Mods
Yeah, I know, but there do look to be a few things out there, was just curious if anybody knew of anything worth recommending. -
Looking for something small, something that fits inside a 6x12x16 carry-on. Anybody have anything they recommend?

AMD BIOS Updates(To support new CPUs)
waggythegeek replied to waggythegeek's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
MSI Motherboards I'm finding that are microATX and support B450 are all in the $200 range, do you think something from Gigabyte would work? I was thinking maybe this one -
I'm currently designing a build for the first time in years, and I am encountering an issue on PCPP where I am being told that some motherboards with older chipsets(B350, A320) may require a BIOS flash, and therefore an older CPU, to support a newer CPU. Is there any way to know which will and which won't? And/or, a way to get around this? I've heard of companies sending loaner CPUs, or of motherboards that can flash without a CPU... How do I handle this? Not really looking to spend a ton on a mobo RN.

Hello LTT community, I used to come here a lot, was an avid builder and was pretty decent at PC stuff back in my day. However, it's been a long time since I've been paying attention to what's going on in the PC hardware space. I stopped paying attention before/just as intel started doing whacky things with their CPUs. I was stepping away from the desktop space for the time being, headed towards an eGPU setup (which I'm using now, and am quite happy with). However, I have friends with PC questions, and an old desktop i want to revive to be used as an HTPC for my housemates, and a few other

I've just come home from college, and I brought my VR setup with me. I set it up, launched beatsaber, and suddenly it's unplayable. The framerates are low, and the sabers are lagging behind my controllers. Some interesting variables: -im using an eGPU setup, Lenovo yoga C930 max spec and a superclocked 1070 over the mantiz Venus enclosure -I travelled by train, and let the setup with me in the car, but I forgot to cushion the graphics card -beat saber just updated -ive uninstalled and reinstalled beatsaber -ive uninstalled and reinstalled the Oculus software -trie
