I would like to build a gaming PC, but I would like to use the adobe suite as well. Primarily for video and sound editing. I know a little info like the most money goes on the cpu and graphics card and intel or AMD is a better brand for the CPU. Fans are superior to Water cooling and I need at least 32 GB for what I want…

Hoping to stay under $1200-1400 if possible; I currently play games moderately on my PC (MMORPGS and such) as well as use creative software, with some streaming every now and then. I've been looking into some parts and…
I am still fairly new to PC modifying(not really building any from scratch). I hear and read SSD is the faster storage compared to HD. My computer build came with a SSD of 240GB and a HD of 2TB. For a while my computer seems to take quite some time to load anything and some delays every now and then. It may be because my…

Hello! This is my first PC build I'm doing solo (I've physically put them together on my own, but have always had someone help pick parts for me). So I'm a little nervous if I made "good" choices or not. I was just looking to see if anyone has any suggestions or sees any glaring red flags with the parts I had picked for…

Greetings! I'm looking into upgrading my video card, but am a bit unsure of what actually will fit in my case. I have the NZXT Phantom 410 (mid tower), and everything I have read so far states that it can support up to 305mm length cards - but that requires the removable drive bay extension to be taken out. I do need to…

Greetings! I hope this question won't betray too much of my lack of knowledge. 😏 With good quality 2 TB NVMe M.2 SSDs now available for $80, is there any reason NOT to use an NVMe M.2 SSD for both my system drive and my data drive? I ask because, both in pre-built PowerSpecs and in PC Builder, the second drive offered is…
