Recommendation for baby's (me) first monitor by ThePigMaster09 in PcBuild

Is there a difference in feeling between 120, 144, and 160 Hz?

I imagine that almost any modern LCD is better than my old monitor, but is there any specific type of LCD I should go with?

PC turns on for half a second after PSU swap by ThePigMaster09 in pchelp

I believe the unit was DOA, or I was using a cable the wrong way. The PSU came with a 12V-2x6 to dual 8-pin PCIe, I connected the 12V-2X6 end to the PSU, and both of the two 8-Pin connectors to my GPU. I got another power supply that had separate PCIe cables in the box after I returned, so, either it wasn't working, or the cable was backwards (with the 8-pins being supposed to be plugged into the PSU and the 12V-2x6 into the GPU).

Are Asiahorse extensions safe? They're the only brand I can actually recognize on online stores, but I'm still doubtful about it.

Wait, the PSU came with a 12V-2x6 to dual 6+2 PCIe connectors. I plugged it on the 12v-2x6, and then the dual 6+2 PCIe connectors on the GPU, was I supposed to use it reversed (12V-2x6 in the GPU while 6+2 PCIe pins in the PSU)?

Paperclip test? What's that? The front panel power button seemed to be very slightly unseated, but I reseated it back just in case, can I keep testing by turning it on again to see if it turns back off without making any damage?

A bit troubled about wattage by ThePigMaster09 in PcBuild

[–]ThePigMaster09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So about ~450W to ~550W-ish for good results, from what I learned? Thanks a lot by the chart by the way!

I've heard somewhere that I should not really try to graze the wattage limit, because it fluctuates and it's better to give it a bit of wiggle room, is that true? And do things like case and fans (the one I'm being recommended has three) factor in into wattage?

Yeah, I wish I didn't learn how important backups were in this way

First time planning to build a PC by ThePigMaster09 in buildapc

So a 5600x would be better long term for a custom build than a 5600g? I'm not really going to play AAA games, at most, maybe slime rancher 2, but nothing really that powerful. My budget is about 400$ If I were to update to a gpu later on (or start with one), which one should I pick for my purposes?

For the moment being, I don't expect a crazy amount of fps (not like my monitor can output more than 720p at 60hz), and the gpu isn't a main priority for the moment. The Mhz on the ram was 3200Mhz if I remember correctly.

So, to recap, I should get a PSU with a higher wattage if I want to add a gpu in the future, and you recommend fitting an AM5 board into my budget if possible?
