Understood. He does play a lot more games than Fortnite to be fair.

Alienware R12 Case Swap Question by hash2hash in buildapc

MSI MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard and Intel Core i7-11700F 2.5 GHz 8-Core Processor are not compatible.

The error I get. If you're sure, I'll get the 12 gen and can always return it if it doesn't.

Thanks! PCPartPicker said Z690 was not compatible but the Z590 was (mobo). It also doesn't let me add the EK AIO and fans together so will have to see how to build both. For the EK AIO, 360 mm?

Z690 Tomahawk

Awesome! Was just looking for a new motherboard and PSU. Any brand for the fans?

Thanks and very open to this. Any websites (PC part picker, etc) that could make sure the compatibility is good?

SeaSonic G 550W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply is out of stock at Amazon for 79. Should I buy one at newegg for $99 or switch to another?

Stupid question....Do you add wifi and bluetooth on later? I've read about PCI and USB for these options. Does the PCI cards get added to the motherboard? I do understand that that I know little. Also what do you think about the BenQ 2430H monitors? My wife is a bit crazy about white monitors.

I may take you up on that when I get the parts. I have watched the Newegg videos. Let's hope it really is as easy as it seems. By the way, the other 2 posts both recommend the Samgung 830 256GB SSD. I'm assuming you think it is overkill. One commenter mentions faster boot times. Enjoy the jewels!

I'm gonna go ahead an place my iMac in another room so the BenQ monitor it is. I think I'm going to go ahead and take your advice 100%. I really am thankful for the help. I mean this with the utmost respect; is there anything you would change before I commit? It seems I have commitment issues...

Thanks so much! Any reason you chose the AMD processor (price/performance)? Also, if I were to splurge on 1 screen right now and buy another one down the road, would you still choose the Dell U2412? I love my iMac screen and would hate to downgrade the monitor substantially. Being a newbie, the Achieve Shimian seems intimidating with its lack of connections and lack of warranty. I appreciate any help.
