I'd prefer to skimp on the MB vs the CPU. I went with the 9800 a DDR5-6000 on a B850 (1 gen5 NVMe & 1 PCIE.) That way if I've got some extra cash to throw into my system I can get an x870 without replacing the more expensive component (CPU)

Hmm looks like what I want, prices are a bit nuts though. I've also been eyeballing the Claymore II.

Like a month or so ago I randomly recalled the name, Warlords III; an ancient 199X game husband/kids/and I had played many years ago (our kids now have their own kids now kind of years ago.) I searched the internets and boom there it was on Steam!! I've probably played 50 games since I found...

I actually watched that just before I got my new CPU. Immediately checked it out when it arrived. Good infos :)

Yeah I could have gotten away with home, but I was thinking about upgrading down the line if they put stuff back into pro that I do want and decided to spend the extra $40 for peace of mind. I don't plan on buying windows again for a long time. Last time I bought windows was 2001 heh

Yeah I've been upgrading "my copy" of Windows since like v3.1 (the one that came on the 3.5" floppy's - I still have them lol) but I think I bought like 5 retail copies of XP for everyone in the house when that came out, so it wasn't so easy for me to figure out. I had my "upgrade trail" (so...

I'm happy to report I've cloned my old Win10 to my new build's NVMe drive and everything is working great! My monstrosity of a case is flippin' hillarous, I do love it (It's got mesh on the front & top that's off, and the glass sides are off too (still working on it.) Have not upgraded to...

Wow, thank you for all the great info. I guess what I'm at is try to transfer Win10 and hope it works. I have a bit over a week until parts are here so I'll have to start researching that process. The memory thing is a bit concerning. Everything I had looked at said that memory was the best...

I started on the Corsair way back when they started making them and I love the feel and sound of it. The quiet ones typically feel more like sticking my fingers into saran wrap over mud than typing... I don't use the RGB so I didn't install anything. It was all about the game keys for me, I...

Thank you for the suggestions, I'll look at them, though they reminds me of a ducky... I tend to have ergonomic issues with these kinds of old school thicknesses. Def. don't like the idea of RedDragon not supporting keyboards, I tend to buy the same thing over and over and over for decades...

Thank you for the responses, it's she though heh I didn't really think my current/old machine mattered in this aspect; AMD FX-8350 5GHz OC (I don't remember who made the CPU water block anymore, it was a good one but not EK because they only had silver and I wanted all black aesthetics)...

I am not impressed with the new Corsair K100, but I want a new mechanical full size wired (like the gaming keys, but not necessary), prefer brown switches, need built in wrist rest, & volume controls (including mute) I had gotten front printed keycaps and I love them, so I'd like to re-use...

I build my PC in 2010/2013. It was a high-end $10K+ monster, fully modded, LQ, etc. Of course it is not Win 11 compatible so I decided to build a new system. ( https://pcpartpicker.com/list/v9HTTM - reusing some existing components.) Obviously, I am severly out of the loop for building a new...
