Hello!

I'm getting an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, EVGA 2080 Super, Seagate 8TB Barracuda HDD, Samsung 970 Evo 1TB SSD, MSI B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard, EVGA 750-watt PSU, and Lian Li 011 Dynamic Razer Edition, will everything work together?

Hi gents, and thanks for the section and advice. I have a three-year-old custom build I put together based on an ASRock X99WS Mobo, Intel Core i7-6850K, NVIDIA GTX 1080, Toshiba OCZ RD400 NVMe PCIe M.2 512GB (boot), G.SKILL Trident Z DDR4 3000 C15 4x8GB, (2) Intel RS3WC080 8TB RAID, WD Black 3TB cache drive and then a Seagate Archive HDD 8TB hot swap for archival, e.g., Acronis backup.

I mainly use this system for large images, e.g., 30MB raw photo editing and video though some games have crept in and added some bloat to the system. I recently ran the User Benchmark test and came up with some questionable results with my boot SSD.

• Toshiba OCZ RD400 NVMe PCIe M.2 512GB
• Firmware: 57CZ4102
• Max speed: PCIe 5,000 MB/s
• Sustained Write @10s intervals: 502 543 652 568 599 547 MB/s

Do you think the boot drive results warrant a replacement to perhaps a FireCuda as an example or are the Toshiba results not significant? Also, what would you recommend, if anything, to future proof the system for a few more years?

Hello, I am new to the PC market, and I am trying to buy a gaming PC. I have chosen the PC parts that fit my budget. Can you tell me if the parts are good or not?

• Intel Core i5 9600K
• CM Hyper Black Edition
• ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming
• EVGA RTX 2060 Super
• 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4
• Seagate Barracuda 120 500GB
• 750W PSU

Hi!

I bought the Z490-A motherboard, and it has an m.2 key e slot for a Wi-Fi module. I was wondering if the Killer 1650x will work on thisMB?

Is the CyberPower GXiVR8060A8 gaming PC good enough for high-quality graphics and no lag?

What AIO CPU cooler do you suggest to be paired with the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X for optimal performance?

Hello!

I'm thinking of upgrading my PC once the new RTX cards drop. I currently have an Intel Core i7 7700k, ASUS ROG Maximus Hero VII, 16GB DDR4 3600 dual-channel memory, 500GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD, and EVGA 650 80+gold PSU in my build.

I'd like to know if I would need to upgrade anything to stream in 1080p or possibly 1440p as I have a Dell 2716DGR monitor as my primary display. I want to maintain a stable 120 and up FPS. Would upgrading the GPU to the "3090" be enough, or do I need to do more upgrades?

Hello!

I used to stream fine when I first got my pre-built iBuyPower PC. Now when I record video or go live while gaming, I feel input delay on my controller, but I play wired. I was considering upgrading RAM, but IDK if that will fix it on its own.

My specs:

• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070
• Intel Core i7-9700K
• 16GB DDR4 RAM

Hello,

Is my PC good for gaming and editing videos for YouTube and also live streaming?

My current PC specs include:

• Core i5 9400F
• 8+8GB 2400MHz RAM + 8GB 2600MHz RAM
• ZOTAC GTX 1660 Twin Fan
• ASUS TUF B365M-Plus Gaming
• Kingston 240GB SSD

Hello! Can you please help me? I've tried asking for advice from HP, who recommended a couple of CPU coolers, which have not fit. I have an HP Omen Obelisk 875-0056NA equipped with an RTX 2060, 16GB of memory, and a Core i7 9700F CPU.

I want to replace the 92mm heat sink cooler with a similar CPU air cooler 92mm with heat pipes, as a straight swap without taking off the opposite side panel or motherboard. Thank you in anticipation.
