I'm about to build a system with an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU.

I'm wondering which motherboard to get, ASUS TUF B450-Plus Gaming or MSI B450 Tomahawk? Is it worth going with an MSI X570-A Pro?

I'm having an issue with my PC where it idles pretty high and starts throttling immediately when put under load. I'm using my H115i from my old build, is it possible the cooler can't handle the 9900K?

Should I just buy another cooler? I can pick up a H150i or Noctua NH-D15 locally.

I have had my current build for two years - ASUS Z270, Intel Core i7 7700K, 16GB of RAM, and GeForce GTX 1060.

I'm getting bored with it and want to upgrade. Can I get a better CPU without changing motherboard?

Thanks!

SSDs slow down as they get filled with data, so I was wondering if there any percentage of the drive I should leave unused to keep my drive working at full speed?

I have an 850 EVO 250GB.

Hey ATE,

I purchased the ASUS ROG Strix X570-E motherboard along with a Corsair Force MP600 SSD.

I just realized upon installing my motherboard that it comes with passive cooling for the M.2 slots. I am now wondering if the large heat sink on the MP600 can be removed so it will fit in my motherboard. Would greatly appreciate any input on this?

Thanks!

Hey TT,

I'm wanting to build a new gaming rig and I'm having a hard time choosing between the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER and the new AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT graphics cards.

Right now I'm using a 27-inch 1080p 60Hz monitor but want to buy a new 1440p 144Hz gaming monitor, and can't decide which graphics card to go for. I play all of the latest esports-style games like CS:GO, League of Legends, Rocket League, Apex Legends, and Overwatch.

Help!

Regards, John.

I'm building a PC and have decided on an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X and GTX 1660.

How much memory should I purchase and does speed matter?

I'm looking to build a new system in the next month. I've pretty much settled on the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X or Intel i5 9600KF.

Not looking for overclocking just want something that will last, can you advise me?

Cheers
