I really appreciate your response. Makes sense. Thank you. Joe

I don't understand why ASUS doesn't publish what the difference is between the two drivers.

I've got my first build up and working. I have an ASUS RTX 3060 gpu. When I went to the asus website I found that I have two choices for drivers. One is specifically for gaming and the other for content developers. I do drawings and renderings and some video editing so I guess I'm a content...

I've generally had good luck building things and designing things. I have a lot of experience with electronics over a 30 year career. But my first desktop build is not going well. My first MB was a gigabyte. At first it powered up and almost Posted but then failed to turn on the power...

many thanks for that feedback and link

I recently started a desktop build with a Gigabyte motherboard and the experience was unpleasant and unsuccessful. I'm going to cut my losses and buy a different brand. I'm between ASUS and ASROCK. Without going into details, I wondered if anyone had any horrendous problems with either one...

I have one more question about Win 11. I'm assuming that after I download it from Microsloth, the version I end up with depends on the key that I have bought. Is this correct? When I looked at MS about downloading, I didn't see a selection for home vs pro so assumed the key does the...

I use the feature on Win 10 all the time to delay updates until a certain date so I have some control over when.

I think I've changed my mind about processors and will go with a new list: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz 6-Core Processor ($197.80 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler ($36.90 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX ATX AM5 Motherboard...

Many thanks for all the responses. I'm feeling a little better now. I've been happy with Win 10. I went to an office store and played a bit with a Win 11 laptop and didn't see anything I couldn't deal with. It looked like things like Device Manager and such were still accessible. Maybe all...

I know I'm stuck with Windows 11 for my new PC, but the myriad plethora of choices is confusing. I've been using Windows 10 pro. It appears I can get Windows 11 pro on a DVD for about the same price as the digital download. Have I missed something? I also see prices for keys to register Win...

I'm in the US

I've used pcpartpicker and saved my first shot. I'm hoping an i5 12600KF will do what I need. I note that some of the 13th and 14th gen parts are not good. I found that I can apparently get Win 11 on a DVD. Here's my list so far. Not sure about the cooler yet. PCPartPicker Part List...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try the pcpartpicker.com. I've gone back and forth a little about doing my own build and buying something already put together. When I see a "gaming" pc on newegg for under 900.00 I'm tempted. But I want to do my own build so that I have the experience of...

I've used computers for many years, but this will be my first build. I'm taking it slow to try to understand what I'm doing. I will be building a pc that will run windows 11. I will need a GPU for drawing with Rhino3D software. I'll also be doing a little video editing. I have downloaded the...
