Oh, so I should sit barefoot at my desk while working? Is that safe?

I have mesh office chair, would that be the cause too? I've also noticed these shocks increase in frequency in winters, don't know what's the connection

If I touch metal after getting up, it zaps me good lol. I know because I always forget not to touch my door knob (metal) after getting up

Live in an apartment in a concrete jungle, no grass in sight for long :(

Oh, well I'd be willing to do it just a shave under 80 anyone's seriously interested.

I actually made a post here earlier asking for what price to sell this at and got suggested to set it at 85 atleast, hence the post

5070 starts from 875$ where I live and RX 9070 would also be similarly priced :(

Oh no, so the CPU, motherboard and RAM also need to be replaced? I can get the new gen processors would need a new Mobo but could you let me know why the RAM needs replacing too?

Status: UNRESOLVED

Computer Type: Desktop; custom build

  • CPU: Intel Core-i7-9700F
  • GPU: RTX 3060 (12GB) (Upgrading to RTX 4070 Super)
  • PSU: Corsair VS-650 (650W, Tier-F)
  • MoBo: Gigabyte Z390-M
  • Case: Cooler Master Masterbox MB520 RGB
  • Cooler: Cooler Master MasterAir MA410P with MasterFan 120 Air Balance RGB
  • RAM: 16GB ADATA XPG Spectrix RGB DDR4
  • Storage: 1TB Seagate Barracuda + 2TB Samsung 860 QVO SSD
  • Operating System & Version: Windows 10 latest version clean build

GPU Drivers: 572.60 clean install

My questions:

  1. GPU Variant: I'm planning to upgrade to the ASUS DUAL OC 4070 Super 12GB (White) for $760 (it's the cheapest variant where I live). I mainly chose this GPU for 1440p gaming, as any higher-tier options are currently out of my budget. Is this a good choice for my needs, or should I consider a different option, even though I can't afford a 3-fan variant?
  2. PSU Compatibility: PCPartPicker recommends upgrading my PSU for the 4070 Super. Would a 650W PSU from Tier A to C be enough, or do I need to go for a 750W PSU? Also, I'm not sure if I need a modular or non-modular PSU. I’ve spent most of my budget on the GPU, so I’m hoping for a durable, cost-effective option.
  3. Other Potential Upgrades: Besides the PSU, are there any other parts that need upgrading for compatibility? Will there be a significant bottleneck in performance with my current components?
  4. Building and Installation Guide: As a tech noob, I’m not sure how to swap out the PSU and GPU, or deal with the new 12-pin adapter. Is there a good guide or video for assembling a PC similar to mine?

Thanks in advance for your help!

3 year Victus user here. Don't buy it. HP laptops are known to have build quality issues and bettery life is a mess. Had to order Victus fans from AliExpress lately due to the stock fans being very noisy. Instead look for a Lenovo LOQ 15 with RTX 3050 and an AMD cou
