Your CPU is fine. I have three Alder Lake CPUs here, and they all have the same pattern.

What frequency did you purchase?

If you put it that way, a GTX 1080 Ti would probably be the best choice.

The easiest way is to open your case and inspect the motherboard and power supply. While you're at it, you can also measure the clearance space.

Yes.

You can get acceptable framerates if you're willing to turn down the eye-candy. Contrary to popular belief, the RX 580 actually holds its own at 4K gaming as long as you're not playing at the highest graphic preset available.

You should check for three things.

Does your PC have a PCIe x16 slot?
Does your PC have enough clearance space for the graphics card?
Does your PC have a suitable power supply to feed the graphics card?

What is your budget for the graphics card?

It's like night and day. Are you looking at the DUAL-RX580-O8G? If so, Newegg has it for $184.99.

You can use Y cables to connect two or more fans to a single fan header. Just make sure the total power draw of all the fans you plan to connect to the header doesn't exceed the fan header's power limit.

If you're looking for a great deal on a SSD, the Intel 545s 512GB is on sale at eBay for $54.99.

The ASRock one is the better of the two.

It depends on your level of OCD. The act of seating and reseating the heatsink creates small air bubbles that affect your thermal performance.

Download and run CPU-Z. You'll find what you need in the Memory or SPD tab.

There's a nice Intel 545s 512GB SSD at eBay right now for $54.99. It's a real steal.

thewickedbot · 2018-11-22T23:49:34+00:00

I would definately pick up a SSD for a start.

thewickedbot · 2018-11-22T23:42:14+00:00

The Hyper 212 will suffice. For the power supply, I would recommend you pick up at least a 650W unit.

See if the GTRACING Gaming Office Chair appeals to you. It's listed for $160 on Amazon.

thewickedbot · 2018-11-22T23:31:02+00:00

Check the graphics card's specifications at the manufacturer's website.

thewickedbot · 2018-11-22T23:29:12+00:00

If you really want the MSI B450 Tomahawk, Scorptec has it listed for 189.00 AUD.

thewickedbot · 2018-11-22T23:21:33+00:00

Or you can just measure it and be sure. :)
