Is my power supply enough?
I currently am thinking about upgrading my cpu, motherboard, and ram and I’m curious if my 850w power supply is enough to power it all. I have a 3080 strix 12gb and wanting to possibly get the Ryzen 9 7900x. Pc part picker shows my build to be just shy of 700w and I don’t plan on over clocking but this is a link to my…

Excitement for the LanCool III Cases?
Having built dozens of systems in the LanCool II, I've always found it extremely easy to make look good. my only complaint has been it's curb weight. the 2 tempered glass side panels makes it heavy even empty. But none the less, they are great to work in. Having done several 011 - EVO builds I like to see the additional…

New PSU good for system?
I recently got a new Thermaltake Smart 80+ 500W for my PC, since my old PSU was an old Raidmax from an ancient prebuilt that I didn't want to risk failing on me, and because I had a $10 off coupon that was expiring soon. I did not have a lot to spend on a new PSU at the time so I got the cheapest one that seemed good, the…

Power button on case broke this morning. PC can still work, but what can I do?
For starters, my case is a Corsair 200R ATX case that I've had since 2016. This morning, half of the plastic faceplate of the power button broke off from wear and tear. My computer thankfully still works as there is a button underneath, but now that part of the case looks weird as a result. The half that accesses the reset…
