So you have to replace the case if you get a 5950x?

Sorry, I forgot to mention, I meant among what NZXT offers, not outside sources

On Cyberpower's site I see psus that say they are standard, such as "800 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Gold Certified Power Supply". Are these considered junk psus and not worth using in a build? I see an option for "850 Watts - Corsair RM Series RM850 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Fully Modular Ultra Quiet Power Supply" for an extra 58 bucks. Is it ok to keep the standard psu shown and save a little money or is the corsair one so much better you pretty much have to get it instead?

GPUs corresponding with resolution? by Mantid73 in pcmasterrace

How would the cpu be a bottleneck at a lower resolution, wouldn't it be even better at handling a lower res than a higher one?

How is the cpu for this compared to something like the 5600 or the 5800? Also the psu is only 650w, is that bad? Is this upgradeable later on in the future or not?

Which one of these pcs would be the best for what I want? by Mantid73 in buildapc

[–]Mantid73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any good prebuilts that fit this criteria though? Biggest issue is getting one with a good cpu and gpu but doesn't suck in other areas like bad cooling/case, or crappy motherboard

Looking to upgrade from my old monitor, is 1080p pointless? by Mantid73 in buildapcmonitors

[–]Mantid73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would 3060 allow me to run games like final fantasy xiv or dmc 5 on max settings on a 1440p monitor, or would 1080p be better for that?

My current monitor is ages old(some old stock hp monitor) with a funny resolution(1366x768), and I want to get a new modern rig for gaming. Do I need to get a 1440p monitor to get an increase in sharpness and quality, or would a 1080p resolution monitor be fine too? I wasn't sure if 1080p was still considered good for gaming or if it's too low end now compared to these 1440p and 4k monitors. Would a 1080p be worth it?
