    New pc build after 12 years - any advice appreciated

    That single tower direct contact cooler isn't going to cut it. Also either go with a single 2TB M.2 SSD or look for a board with more PCIe lanes.

    New pc build after 12 years - any advice appreciated

    Make sure that your cpu cooler will clear that RAM due to the tall heatsinks. Also make sure your gpu will run at x16 and not x8 (PCIe lanes) with that board when running dual M.2 SSD's.

    New pc build after 12 years - any advice appreciated

    It's a difficult time to be doing a build with the current state of RAM prices. With that said you want DDR5-6000 CL30 if you intend on gaming. Look for a X870E / X670E board for the extra PCIe lanes if running dual SSD's and you want your primary storage to include DRAM cache if it's in your...

    Question I'm terrified about building my own rig

    Pretty much any local PC / laptop repair shop will build your PC for you after you order the components for a small fee. Some even make house calls. Otherwise look at PC Specialist. What's your budget, what will be the primary use(s) of your PC and what is your resolution or do you require a...
