Cher abruti,
You can find the 12400 (non F) at a Dutch reseller called Xstra, on Rakuten and Fnac.
Bought from him a 5900x for 350€ a few weeks back, took a few weeks but his prices are the lowest we can get in France it seems.
>550€ for a 6600xt
Don't. On amazon.fr you have one at 389€+shipping.
Or if you have 550€ to spend, just go to casekings.de and they sell the Sapphire Pulse 6700xt for that price with the games bundle(sniper elite, forspoken and saints woke).

What's the decent cases without tempered glass?

I think the meshify line is the one most people jerk off to

Are the Sony INZONE monitors worth looking into or is it still too early for HDMI 2.1 monitors?

Linus told me it's ok to buy from miners. Should I believe Linus?
youtube.com/watch?v=hKqVvXTanzI

depends how big the discount is and whether or not you keep warranty

Bought from a miner a card that was a year old, AMD has 3 years warranty for their cards, will buy next year a new card to sell my with the warranty.
Card is running hot, but reference cards do run hot. I undervolted the card 100mV and now it runs both quiet and sufficiently cool while remaining stable in all my games.
VRAM is not lost and runs at 99,7% but I see that other cards have that problem which might be a feature.

linus is probably trying to sell his farm cards

I forgot to add 'and cheap'

Then again I live in a shithole where anything above the 6500xt is 20% over msrp. And that card was at an attractive price considering local market.

Are these specs good enough for 1440p gaming?

No, buy a new pc with the latest top parts you fuck.
Try, of course it should be fine.

So some shills insist that i NEED to run win 11 to "unlock the full potential" of skylake cpu with e cores

Is this nigger true? Surely nobody here actually uses winshit 11? Benchmarks are mixed

stop using speccy, use hwinfo

Ok.
I was looking for a new monitor because my 1080p one is getting grimy and it seems like all the good ones are 1440p or above.
This Samsung one seems like the best overall choice but is it?

what does pcbg think about the pigtail debate?

Hello Any Forums, I'm planning on getting a pc for 3D rendering first and gayming second, I'm thinking of getting Ryzen 5800x along with 3050 with the intent to upgrade to 4060 later on, it's not much but it's certainly an upgrade from my laptop's 1060, is it a good purchase?

I want to build an htpc for the old man so he can watch movies and shows when he wants, but He is absolutely 100% tech illiterate. The guy can't even get a fingerprint sensor to work or type in a password on his phone. Is this a feasible option knowing that?

as an owner of that fucking monitor TRUST ME FUCKING SKIP IT get a damn lg panel instead. It has issues all over place it cant actually handle 10bit colors without constantly restarting itself, certain effects or colors will create a bug where the image gets scanlines for some dumb ass reason and it cant even handle its own "gsync"

nothing wrong with them if they came with PSU (like this pic) that means they're designed and tested to handle the load
I would only worry when using third party extensions

I have a 970 I HAVE to upgrade. Based on United States…

Can I trust newegg? And does it have to be shipped / sold by Newegg?

>get a damn lg panel instead
so something like this?

where are you planning on rendering that you need a 5800x but can't afford better than a 3050? not to say it's a bad time to buy it considering it's like a hundred bucks off right now but still

probably not, get him an apple/Android TV or Roku or something 100% retard friendly, or just a smart TV with all that shit built in already

yes Newegg is THE og

>Can I trust newegg?
im no expert but I would say yes. Newegg is overall a trustworthy site. Yes they have had problem but so has every big site like them. even amazon fucks up sometimes. stay away from open box products though.

I don't like leaving things loose around but nowadays with cases having "compartments" for PSUs it isn't that much of a big deal.
