Hey guys, I made a dumb move when ordering some merch and didn't realize that although I have my current address on there, the order is set to ship to my old address 2 hours by car from me. I emailed support and it hasn't been that long, but I have found very little information on how fast they respond and I need to make sure its before the order actually ships. The few posts I have seen on it have said something like 1-2 weeks to respond which seems... Unhelpful. Can anybody with some experience shed a little bit of light on this for me?

Nice! Hope you enjoy it! that's a great card.

To add a different perspective to what others have already said. Yes you might have to reduce settings in some new games, but you will also be able to run the other 99 percent of games that exist just fine. It will be a pretty big upgrade from a GTX 1050. More is definitely better, but I don't actually see you needing an RX 5700 for 1080p, not to mention it would be significantly more expensive. The 1060 is still basically twice as powerful as a 1050 with 3 times the Vram. However if you can stretch for a used 1070, if its a good price, that would last longer.

The Asrock board seems to be a bit better, due to the heatsinks and having 1 more PCI x16 slot. Also I see people getting decent overclocks on this board for how inexpensive it is.

I'll take a look, thanks

Yeah sorry, I should have mentioned it's in Canadian dollars, and it will definitely be a used part.

Thanks for the replies guys. I will take what you have all said into consideration.

Hey guys, So my girl-face does some gaming and 3d rendering in her spare time. She is a graphic designer by trade, so you can imagine my horror as I realized the computer she does her rendering on runs an i3-3240, Asus b75M-A motherboard, 16gb of 1333 Corsair Vengeance ddr3, GTX 660 Windforce, 5400rpm 1tb HDD, Corsair GS Series 800 W 80+ Bronze PSU. The 16gb ram and PSU aren't too bad, but obviously there was some inconsistency in the build that needed to be addressed. I suggested we do a whole platform upgrade, but due to some other things going on in life right now, she can't put the mon

Could you be more specific as to your needs? AMD or Intel? What do you consider cheap? What will you be using it for?

Glad to help! Good luck with your build. May your frame rates be high and your temps low!

Absolutely it will I have the exact same motherboard and I love it. 2666 is okay, but ryzen performs better with faster ram. Ideally 3000 and up. However again, maybe wait for ryzen 3000, it shouldn't be as dependent on ram clock speeds.

Thats okay! If it really comes down to it I am sure I could get a usb numpad. Thanks for your input! I will keep this one in mind and look at some reviews

Might be worthwhile to upgrade to a Ryzen platform with a 2600 or a 2700. Games are starting to use more cores and threads, the future is cores. Although wait a little bit to see what ryzen 3000 has to offer, as it maybe a big boost in performance over the 2000 series. If you make that upgrade you will also need to get a new motherboard, a high end b450 like the MSI carbon is very good and would allow you an okay amount of overclocking headroom if you wanted to. I would grab another SSD, either 500gb or 1tb, as they have become very cheap lately, and to me at least, it feels kind of si

I don't mind weight too much as I work out pretty consistently and it wouldn't really bother me. Battery life would be nice but I am not usually too far away from an outlet, so whatever you can find that is reasonable in that area. The one I have does about 3 hours of text based work on battery. If I could be around that I would be happy. Low sRGB IPS is fine, I am not doing any work that requires me to be super color accurate, I just like to have a nice color palette that is relatively accurate to look at in games and not give me a headache after prolonged use. Honestly I wouldn

Hey everyone! Been a while since I posted anything, but I know that if any community can help me its this one SO I have been teetering on the the precipice of buying a gaming/work laptop for a while, but obviously the price has always been a bit daunting, not to mention the rate at which they are left in the dust by the growth of technology. But I think now is a good time to go for it. For the last little while I have been working off of an HP Elitebook 8470p with and SSD. I love it and its a good old gal, but shes a little under powered and under featured for my needs
