Multiple Monitors, Ultrawides, or Both?
Last week we asked what your most important peripheral was, and it got people talking about monitors. Specifically, about ultrawides versus dual-monitor set up. So, what's the way to go? With that sweet, sweet ultrawide display with plenty of room for activities, or the pure utility and ease-of-gaming on the dual-monitor…

Do you aim for high quality visuals or high frame rates?
There's nothing more exciting than building a new rig, then booting up that top-of-the-line game to see "Video Settings Auto-Set for Max." But sometimes, you're stuck with more middle-of-the-road graphics. And what do you do then? Tank the visuals for those buttery 120 FPS or get it looking good and deal with the drops to…

PC Builders: Do you start with the CPU or GPU?
Every build starts somewhere, and I don't think anyone is starting with RAM. So where do you start your build? Do you pick out the graphics card first and work backwards from there, or start with the CPU and build out?

RGB: Single Color or Hybrid?
We all know that if your computer is decked out in red RGB lights, you get 1.21 gigawatts more speed. But is it worth it to sacrifice that pulsing rainbow wave for a single color? Or maybe you want a blue highlight to streak through your all white lights. What do you think: just one color, or as many as possible?

Fancy Laptops or Big Desktops?
The recent release of MSI's Leopard series got me thinkin - My first decent computer was an old Asus G Series laptop. Since then I've built my own desktop, but I do yearn to sit on my couch to game sometimes. So, is a big, RGB fueled desktop really the end-all-be-all, or can you get by with a decent gaming laptop?

How do you choose your PC parts?
You've finally saved up the money to build that dream rig. But now comes the daunting part: choosing components. So how do you do it? Just pick things at random? Try to min/max your build? Or maybe you swear by a brand and fill your case with just that brand?

Hi. I’m considering upgrading my g164 storage with the addition of a 2.5 ssd. It lists “(1) 2.5 expansion bay available” in the spec sheet. Where is the expansion bay for this located?

AMD 5000 Series CPUs Advertising False/Misleading Regular Price
Hey Microcenter Peeps, First, I love this store, and not trying to be a jerk, but what on earth are you doing advertising a false/misleading regular price on Ryzen 5000 series CPUs, when we know they're selling at MSRP? A 5900X has never, and will never, be priced at $799 in a MicroCenter store. I'm really hoping this is…

I did not bump or jar the case in any way. The…

Solved: LED in Powerspec G900 Desktop has gone out on its own (wrong display port used initially)
Hello, I recently got a G900 and it had a bright white LED inside it somewhere. This light was not under the control of the Asus Aura program. It has gone off on its own.

Order cancellation
I just received an order confirmation stating it will take a week at least to ship out an SSD I ordered. That's not good enough, so I'd like to cancel. I'm a college student, and my laptop is my life. I can order a drive elsewhere and have it in the mail by Monday. What is the procedure for cancellation?
