I'm thinking this for a PCVR setup:

>RTX 5070
Would also consider 4070 Super or 3080 Ti, whatever is available/cheaper. They seem similar.
>i5-14600
Good enough? I dunno I think CPUs are boring.
>Asus Prime Z-790
NO idea. Sure.

Any good 2k monitors on budget? Is the lg ultragear 27GS85Q-B good enough at 225 euros now that the g2724d is at 280 euros when the g2725d is a downgrade while being at 185?

Yea, it fucking sucks. I just want to go back to discussing Nvidia and AMD failures with my autistic /g/men.

Should I get a 9600x and a steel legend board or just get a 7600 and the cheapest b650? Either way I can't get a GPU till later

absolutely good enough, rx5600xt was fine for me with medium low settings and 5070 raisins it out for breakfast
at 4k you don't need a better cpu but I'd consider going up a price bracket to future proof it, dunno what model cuz cpus are indeed boring

I want to go back to 7, for newer hardware that officially dropped support you supposedly can still get it installed on mobos that have a CSM BIOS, but how can you tell it has one? Looking for a AM4 (micro preferably) ATX
mobo with AMD chipset B or above. So far all I can find a ones with AMI and UEFI BIOS

One of my case fan cables can't reach the motherboard.
I have the antec performance case, is this unusual?
It feels unreal now that I spent all my money, but might I actually have to buy an extension for that one fan cable?

Does it actually matter where I plug in the cpu cable here or is any which one good?
If it does, which one is it? I would assume the one on the far left.

I powered it on and I got two red lights.
One was under 'dram' and that apparently relates to my ram sticks, of which I had four which seemed to be correctly plugged in to me.
The other was under 'vga' which I learned was connected to the gpu.
For the ram sticks I took the other out and tried this one in each slot to see if the issue would go away. It appeared to go away after I placed it in the slot furthest away from the cpu and then we're at the vga thingy.
Do my gpu cables look passable, or am I doing it wrong?

Is there much difference between these? Looking for a heatsink/cooler that's efficient enough for a Ryzen 5 5600 (65 TDW) and for a micro tower with only a airway on the back and side

2 questions:

1. Is there a noticeable difference in PSU fans (soundwise, temperature)?
2. Does Be Quiet have good PSUs? I have been using a Coolermaster GX 550w but I want something more quiet

Windows 7 works on my Crosshair 8 Dark Hero with 32GB of RAM, but, I don't see any reason to use 7 when there's Windows 10 IoT LTSC debloated.

as if, even if there truly was a version that's debloated it's still a ugly piece of raisin and has less compability with games (and that is something I care about)
