I'll chime in to say a few more things: 1. Prices continue to go down, so if you can wait another month or two you might be able to snag a prebuilt desktop with more memory at the same price. 2. Not sure if you are looking at laptops, but right now I've seen several laptops with a 5800H CPU...

I'm echo what the squatch said. It'll depend and sometimes it is noticable sometimes not. I have a giant case and run 2 NVMEs (1 PCI 4 (Samsung 980), 1 PCI 3 (Gigabyte)), I also have a Samsung 970 Evo SSD, Toshiba 5TB HDD, and a bunch of Hitachi refurb 7200s. The jump between the HDD, SSD...

1x1=2?

How do you do fellow kids? The PC Gamer forums are currently down, I think the Russian bots are to blame. So, I'm forced to stop by and see what's going on in the land of the dead horses being beaten. How about that Ukraine bundle, huh? Can't say war is all bad, now can we? And them boomer...

Wow. The mods finally caught up to Blade. Guys like him were part of the reason I moved over to the PCGamer forums. Talk about obsessive. Dude would still bring up stuff that happened a decade ago. Glad the mods dealt with him since the whole harassing a new member for posting a deal was...

Initially it was: 5600x 6800XT 8GB RAM 1 TB HDD 1000W PSU Upgraded that to: 5600x 6800XT 32GB RAM 1 TB Gen 3 NVME 1 TB SSD 5TB HDD 1000W PSU Just recently moved it all to a new case and have: 5600x 6800XT 32GB RAM 1TB Gen 4 NVME 1TB Gen 3 NVME 1TB SSD 10TB Total of HDD 850W PSU The...

Over on the PCG forums we've been putting the vark on our za for years now

I mean that $700 GPU is now $1500, so I was right. You play nice with greedy corporations and they only take more and more. It's you guys fault I had to buy an Alienware and I hate you all for that.

I remember when I used to post here people would call me a troll and report me to mods to try to force me to leave. I hope everyone can see how sad this place has become since I've moved on to better things. You guys were the trolls all along. If anyone else is tired of this toxic community...

When the 3080s came out I said the pricing was ridiculous and a sign of worse things to come, but you fools kept going on and on about the "value" of it performing better than a 2080TI or something bla bla bla.  Well this is what you guys get. Anyway, my Alienware came in and I have it up and...

I'm not sure. In theory that should work, but I think the main issue is that the RAM that comes with the machine is custom-spec'd in a way it does not play nice with RAM readily available on the market. It also has somewhat odd CL timings. From what I've read on multiple forums I haven't...

That's why I just went prebuilt.  By the time you factor in all the increased MSRP and forced bundles you aren't really saving much building your own system right now.  I did discover that Alienware's RAM sucks hard.  They use some sort of custom RAM with a special XMP profile so you can't just...

Dude's just get a Dell. I recently ordered an Alienware R10 with the Ryzen 5600X and a 6800 XT for $1545 before tax. You can't beat that, even with the crappy 8GB RAM (just upgrade on your own), 1TB HDD (again upgrade on your own).  The 6800 XT by itself is going for like $1300 to $1500 on...

It was serious and thank you. Wasn't sure if they were still doing bundles.
