It's finally time for an upgrade, and what better time to do it than on my 18th birthday? Anyways, my goal was to be as balls to the wall as possible without spending money on…
Want to get my 11 year old a gaming computer for around $700. What should I get? He plays Occulus, Xbox .... wants to enter the gaming world.
I’ve got all my parts I will make a list below, my question is I’m using DDR5 because I did get the Z790 Asus maximus hero motherboard but when it comes to speed I have no idea where to begin I was told I shouldn’t overclock anything until I see how it runs first so I went with the 5200 MHz Corsair vengeance memory………
I bought this PC for my son and he regularly complains of latency/lag issues. I know it isn't internet speed as we are good there (450+).

Looking to build a new PC and wanted to get thoughts on this config.
I have a couple parts on my PC parts list thingy that are not available or maybe have not even been sold from micro-center whatsoever, so I am asking if there are any go-to replacements that I could be pointed towards which still function the same and are on the same level and price point as these parts.

I've got all the basics chosen for a tower build, but I've got some questions. Does choosing a water cooling kit negate the need for a heatsink? I've never had a computer with a fancy cooling system before, so I'm a bit clueless on all that. If I'm going for function over aesthetics: Do I need to choose case fans in the…
