I just built my first gaming desktop and and now looking to sell my old gaming laptop. It is an ASUS ROG STRIX GL502VY-DS74 (MSRP $1,899.00). Specs: Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz, 2592 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s) RAM 16 GB SSD 239 GB HHD 1TB GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M SCREEN 1920x1080 15.6" IPS Display How much do you think it is worth?

I just want it as a backup. Going to mainly be using Ethernet but just have it incase my internet is bad and I need to use my phones hotspot

So you would keep the b550 tuf board and get an add in card

What motherboard would you recommend as I want it to have WIFI?

I heard that for Ryzen you want 3600 cl16 but u put in cl18. Will that make a difference

Oh I was think Black Friday online sales

HHD are just very slow compared to SSD. If you are worried about prices I would just get ur main SSD now and instead of getting a HHD for a main storage drive now I would wait until Black Friday then get a mass storage SSD (the speed difference is very notable). I’ve also had multiple friends with Kraken coolers and they did not keep the CPU very cool and broke after 1 year. I recommend the ARCTIC or EK 240/360 AIOs. Also with your ram try to get 3600mhz cl16 ram

Is there a reason you switched from the EK 240 Basic AIO to the ARCTIC one? I think the EK one looks better

That is like 200 over my budget

I don't know what happened with the link. I plan to use the list that was posted in the comment. Is there a reason you would not go for the NZXT PSU? It is in the tier A on the LTT PSU list Here is the list again: PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6wvBCz CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor ($289.99 @ B&H) CPU Cooler: EK EK-AIO Basic 240 77 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($89.99 @ Amazon) Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 GAMING EDGE WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard ($179.99 @ Amazon) Memory: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Mem

Budget (including currency): $1750 USD Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Overwatch, Apex, Control, Hearts of Iron IV, and I want it to be pretty future proof Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I currently have a 144hz 1080p monitor but plan to upgrade to a 1440p monitor at some point down the line. I bought a 3070 TI FE from Best Buy so looking to get the rest of the parts! I put this pcpar

I just bought the 3070 TI as it was the only one I could get in stock. I plan to overclock if possible. I’ve heard you want to have 3600 c16 ram. Is 3200 good enough?

What about this PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zv86wz CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8 GHz 8-Core Processor ($394.90 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: EK EK-AIO Basic 360 77 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($119.99) Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard ($190.00 @ Amazon) Memory: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory ($219.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Sabrent Rocket 4.0 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($89.98 @ Amazon) Storage: Team T-Force Cardea Zero Z330 2 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($199.99

I’m worried about the CL of 18 vs 16.
