I am trying to learn how to mod games. So far, all I know is that the two most popular mod managers is MO2 and Vortex. There is so much debate over which performs better, which is easier to use, which is best for this or that game, etc. My head is spinning. I don't know which to choose, so I am...

Yes, single player 100% of the time. I don't do multiplayer very well. Having to cooperate with others in the real world is more than enough for me. I definitely do not play externally competitive games. They are too stressful. I make my gaming experience as stress-free as possible. Now that I...

Am I playing the avatar, or is the avatar playing me? Both, I think.

I ended up using console commands in Valheim. At the beginning of the game I said to myself (in a much lengthier internal debate), "No cheats". That held true for a while, but as I played, and died, and played, and died, I had enough. God mode. I play games to relieve stress, not create more...

I am new to PC gaming. I have spent decades gaming on console. As you can imagine, gaming with a keyboard and mouse is foreign to me. What I cannot imagine is why anyone would want to use a keyboard and mouse?? When using a keyboard, I am constantly looking down at the keys to make sure I press...

Hello I installed AMD Software: Adrenalin edition and the best way to describe it is overwhelming. I am a new PC gamer, so I have no idea what the majority of the options are. I am hoping someone could suggest which settings I should have enabled for the best experience, whether that is visual...

Indeed, I have seen a difference. Even my untrained eye noticed increased clarity and smoother performance.

Sure enough, I had plugged the monitor into the wrong place. After I plugged into the GPU, I went into the GPU control panel. The 7900 XTX now reads as primary. Obviously, I have a lot to learn about PCs. This is my first one. Before this PC, I played exclusively on console since 1983!

My naivety is abundantly clear. I did not know that I could plug the monitor into more than one place. I saw an HDMI port and just plugged the monitor in. I will have to look at the back of the case and see if I find another place to plug in the monitor.

Hello I just had a PC built for me, and I am currently learning how to adjust settings for the best gaming performance. Part of the adjustments involves the GPU'S settings. I have noticed that I have two GPUs. In AMD Software: Adrenaline Edition, GPU 1 is called AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics...

Great! Thank you so much for the help! Now I just need to decide between the Intel and AMD build as well as choose a monitor.

A few things on the parts list below. First, I found a few extra dollars, so I made an AMD build. Overall, what do you think? PCPartPicker gives this note, Disclaimer: Some physical dimension constraints are currently not checked, such as CPU coolers and RAM clearance, so how would I know if all...

I see this is a less expensive version of your first build and this is great! What are your thoughts on going with either a Ryzen 7 5700X or 5800X3D?

Yes, I am in the US. I have not had a big data loss. I am just trying to do my best to plan for any disasters!

I love this build! It is a tad outside my budget but if I can find the extra cash I will seriously consider doing this build. If I cannot expand my budget, what adjustments would you make to drop the price about $300?
