My first reaction to this question was to recommend the TV I have had since start of the year; the Samsung Q80T (very well scored across the board, especially for gaming) but at closer to a grand, when I bought it anyway, it's outside your budget (and it's 55 inch) But I will mention... far as I...

This. All of it. I'd also add maybe swapping one of those QVO's for another m.2 (970 Plus maybe) for the spare m.2 slot, might as well make use of it and it's speed. As for odd storage configs, have you seen mine? It works for me though, for now (still, should've gone 2Tb for that second 980...

I saw Total War games mentioned, of which I have much experience. For the latter of those (Rome 2/Attila on at least) an m.2 or SSD for game installs is crucial to mitigate the lengthy load times, from minutes to seconds, and will help with any other games, now and later. Also, given install...

Nice amendments there, much better balanced. I'd give it a go myself but unsure if OP would prefer an RGB or non RGB deal (imo it's either all in or none, partial RGB looks scrappy) and those would be two pretty different beasts and prices. But yeah, the 5900X will do most of what the 5950X can...

Also disabled (though more an invisible thing) but I've been in similar straits. Hoping it's an easy fix and easier recovery and you're back at it asap. All the best.

Why, all of them to be sure... But ok, I'll admit I've missed a handful, a couple of earlier ones and a couple of the more recent... and it's been an age since I read any tbh but I still remember my first, Moving Pictures, like it was yesterday (I was 14 so it was 1991-92... like a lifetime...

Would 'homeplugs' be akin to powerline adaptor? Cos they're a godsend for me. Might be a quirk of fate or this house but the Wifi on this PC (see below) gets about 20Mbps but 160Mbps via powerline. More than enough for me to game though tbh I'm light on mp stuff (hate lone wolfing, lack of real...

Just an update... New day, fresh boots... turned on and restarted 3 times, monitor first, then PC and no 1 long and 3 short beeps anymore, only the initial very short one when fans start up (that's ok right?)

Aha. That must be it then... though it hasn't happened every time I've booted, when it hasn't must be the fewer times I turn on the monitor first (like if I'm not yet fully sat down, it'd be the closest power button first) Will try to remember to switch on monitor first next time around and...

It's what I did. The PCS configurator threw up issues re fan kits with the case and AiO I wanted (see below) 3 LL120's wouldn't have been enough, leaving the rear slot empty or non RGB, and 6 wouldn't go through to payment. So to hell with it, I got the stock case fans (two of for that case)...

Not bad, certainly for how you describe Crete. I had idles in the teens with my 6700K @4.5GHz all cores via Asus BIOS OC software, a few years ago. This was in SE England though, with an AiO (H100i) with an extra 4 case fans (3 front intake, 1 rear exhaust, and those and AiO on quiet mode) in a...

Is that 41% score under the 35.2C humidity? Also, Crete being not a huge island, does that coastal breeze take the edge off in most places? Just wondering for the sake of potential (if unlikely) holiday ideas. We don't cope well with high heat and humidity too here. The Gambia (two trips, in...

I got that (though I'll guess you do things of more use than just gaming) I should've mentioned that I've done the same with my last two laptops HDD/SSHD D: drives (both had m.2's as mains) Out with them and in with the trusty old 850 EVO that's still going strong after 4 years use when a HDD...

'Needs more AMD' is due to get as memeworthy as the good old one about cowbell...

Nice little upgrade. I got a new 870 EVO (500Gb) a few weeks ago for secondary/non AAA/oldie games storage so the 1Tb 980 Pro can handle the big titles with their crazy install sizes and load times these days. I haven't bought or used a HDD for 5 years now and won't be going back.

H100i (Capellix) cooler is cooling my 5800X great guns no probs. But yeah, for the 4000's the H115i with it's extra 20mm width counting for a lot given the spacing will exclude the taller RAM kits, especially RBG ones IF that's your thing (the shorter Corsair Vengeance RGB SE might do though) as...

It's not a bad or bad looking card tbh, and I nearly ended up with one. Only things I was leery of were 'MERC' tagged backplate (though I did want a vertical mount anyway originally) and how long it was... it's not for smaller cases (it would definitely need a GPU brace/bracket too) On the other...

Quite possibly. Though the only info albeit a short search (out of curiosity) that I could find about the SWFT 309 was that there appear to not be 6800XT versions (could only find a 6700XT listed but TechPowerUp could be mistaken) but yeah, if GPUZ aso says it's okay then all good.

I should clarify, I only mentioned the Capellix specifically as that's what I got and the major difference is that lovely (for some) extra RGB on the pump and fans. The vanilla H115i etc are just as good for practical purposes as the Capellix versions, they just don't host the Mardi Gras inside...

My point was here (on PCS, where some attempt is made to price fairly) and elsewhere (where scalping and mining has taken it's toll and MSRP is ancient legend) On the broad swathe of those elsewhere places (the gamut of featured stores on pcpartpicker for example) where stock was available or...
