Specs of PC I'm building soon:

MSI X570 MEG Unity mobo
R5 3600 to be replaced w/ 5800X soon after
64GB @ 3600MHz
2TB WD SN850 PCIe 4.0 m.2
1TB WD SN850 PCIe 4.0 m.2
Hoping I can get my hands on a 6900XT soon

Housing it all in a Corsair 4000X Case. I'm spray painting it OD Green and going to get stencils and yellow paint to put M2 Ammo nomenclature on the side to make it look like a big .50bmg ammo can.
Love the case idea but why 6900XT over a 3090?

Because a 3090 doesn't perform much better than either a 3080 or a 6900XT, and I want to do a full red build.

Sure, I understand that. If your goal is 4K with RT, the 3090 is clear winner, if not then any of those are great choices.


Been scouring my marketplace lately looking for deals on 570s/580s, 1080s, etc and man, these people are insane lol.

I'm not on the RT hype train. I'll start factoring in RT performance when the hardware has more maturity in a couple years.

Even on newegg, last gen lower level cards are around $350, it's mind blowing. I found a website that has 6900XTs up for bid, but I don't want to pay a $400 premium. I may have to.

Word of advice: go with nvidia for gpu because of dlss which adds a huge performace bump

I'm waiting until 4k becomes more mainstream/affordable. I was originally shopping for a 4k monitor, but the high refresh rate monitors I saw were over a grand. For sure in a couple years.

Since it got no replies in the other IT thread:

Wondering if someone can help here.

So my previous computer up until October 2020 was a Mac.

It was the top of the line one back in 2015. So it was nearing 6 years old.

When I would download movies (I could download multiple torrents at a time) - I could use my computer normally as if nothing was happening. Surf the internet. Watch youtube videos. Everything.

However now, with a computer I've built.

- Ryzen 3900x
- 32G of 3600 ram
- MSI x570 motherboard

Yet when I download just a single torrent on (what should be a beast of a machine) I am left unable to browse the internet freely, because I will glide my mouse across the screen, then it will freeze in place, then jerk forward eventually. Rinse and repeat the entirety of the download.

If i'm watching a Youtube video of even something I'd already downloaded on VLC media player, it will play for a little bit then pause and the sound will stop playing normally and make a weird noise as if it was being dragged out (horrible explanation I know) then resume again, then rinse and repeat.

Anyone know why the F this is happening?

A computer nearly 6 years old didn't have this problem yet this machine does?

Sounds like a driver issue.
You didn't mention if you're running Linux or Windows, if I'd hazard a guess, you're running Windows.

Install drivers for your network card and chipset drivers atleast.
Did you set your ram to docp 3600 MHz in bios?

Only one way to find out, that would be pretty lucky if so. I was trying to snag a 5900x this morning on amd.com while I was in a MS Teams call lol. Got it into my cart, but it was gone by the time I went to checkout.

It finally happened. Scored a reference 3070.

Wanted a 3060 TI, but when my stock feed came back I went to the Best Buy website and the 3070 was already sitting in my cart ready to check out.

I learned from last time you DO NOT Change shipping types and you take what you can get.

Sure beats New Egg entering you in a drawing to see who can pay a $200 mark up and get fisted in the process with other **** you don't need.

My local MC got a YUGE shipment of Ryzen 5900x and 5950x CPU.

5900 Sold out within the day, but I wanted the 5950x so I picked that up

I basically have the hardest parts to find with the CPU and my 3090 FTW3 Ultra I got last month.

PC bros, need your help.

Got a hold of a 6900XT, so my build is pretty much complete, just have to assemble it when I get back home.

Anyway, with my X570 mobo and the 5800X, I have 24 PCIe 4.0 lanes. Do I have enough to run the GPU and 2 NVMe drives? The GPU and 2 NVMe drives would utilize all 24 lanes, but from what I read, the chipset itself need 4 lanes to function. Will I be crippling the SSDs if I run 2 NVMe drives?

Worst case scenario your GPU will run at x8 instead of x16 which you won't even notice.

Nvidia is fuking with me...

Playing a heavy modded version of Fallout 4 and I am locked at 72 FPS. GPU is only at 39%, but I can't figure out why it isn't boosting up.

I know it isn't my CPU as my RX590 was at 130.

How is Fallout 4 above 60fps for you? When I tried playing it over 60fps on its release, the physics went haywire like it did in Skyrim.

People are fuking nuts. Just sold my RX590 for $300. I paid $180 almost 2 years ago.

My Fallout 4 is so heavily modded that I can't say what is going on when something breaks. It ran at 130 with the 590 with out super weird physics (for Bethesda at least) though.
