Well I'd suggest that its not as widespread as it would appear, clearly there was an issue with a driver in March 21, but all the other issues appear to be December last year. As we know, even if 95% of people have no problem they don't post anything, but the other 5% will post everywhere to...

What 5700 known driver issues? There haven't been any known driver issues since December 2020 when they released two terrible drivers in a row. All three Radeon cards in my household had issues back then. No problems at all since. Used all versions released, and updated again a couple of days ago.

If you have your current memory stable at 3866 stick with it. Buying 4000mhz memory will be a complete waste of money. Spend the money elsewhere on the PC...

Good work!

If yours is the Asus Prime B350M-K it will take most of the Ryzen 3000 series CPU's as long as you update the BIOS. For example; It's supported the Ryzen 5 3600 since BIOS 4801 It may 'support' more expensive CPU's like the Ryzen 7 3700x/3800x/3900x but I don't know enough about your...

Ryzen 5 3600 = best value Ryzen 5 5600x = best for gaming Ryzen 7 3700x = best value for a mix of gaming and productivity.

I also have the 3700x and for us probably not. OP has a Sandybridge though. I went from that same i5 to a 2600 and saw a massive improvement. A 3600, 3700x or 5600x are all going to seem like a massive improvement for the OP. At this point I'd personally go for the 5600x, however, it's not...

What software? Whats a 'reasonable' amount of RAM? Yes it's likely to be noisy. Yes its expensive for what it is. Why does it have a 3080 if you don't game? Did you spec this or was a a pre-built? Don't buy Alienware. Don't buy from Dell. Watch Linus Tech Tips Secret Shopper on youtube. List...

Yeah, pretty important. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/arctic-silver-arcticlean-thermal-material-remover-and-surface-purifier-60ml-kit-th-000-ac.html

A 5600x 6 core / 12 thread CPU is going to be ample for gaming for several years. The 5900x and 5950x CPU's are not aimed at gaming. Save the money towards an upgrade later..

Seems bizarre to me to jump to the 5900x over the 5600x when you do 'the odd bit of photo editing' on the presumption that it will last a year or 2 longer. Seems like a waste of money and overkill....

Yes I think your PSU will be fine with your i7 and 3090. You don't need a 1000 watt power supply.

Of course no one really knows but i would guess that we'll see an improvement in stock and prices by Jan/Feb. Lots of people are skint after Xmas so there'll be fewer people buying them and it'll catch up eventually.

This is correct. If you're signed in with your Microsoft account the Windows key will be tied to that. You could even wipe the boot drive, fresh install windows, as long as you login again with the same Microsoft account then Windows will activate...

I went from a 2600 to a 3700x a few months back. It didn't make much difference in games. I wouldn't bother replacing your memory, it's good enough for now. Hold out for DDR 5. The graphics card is probably going to give you the biggest improvement. If you could find one on sale. What...

Yes they are. They are for people who care what the PC looks like more than what it runs like. Take a look at the PC's on here, there are pre-built/custom built PC's. You'll get much better value for money.

Simply don't buy a powercolor card. Sapphire cards are much better build quality.

So the Black Ops Cold War Beta is open to all from 6pm tonight, no need to pre-order, can preload now. Anyone fancy teaming up with a couple of us for some team play? We're all over 30, so adults only. We have a discord server for team chat, or we could use in game chat. Any skill level...

As long as you are logging into Windows 10 with your Microsoft account (Hotmail or Live mail) then the activation should be stored on your account. Do a fresh install on the new machine and when you sign in it should activate Windows. Games; Copy the entire Steam folder to the new machine, for...
