would you guys make any suggestions? Not looking to go more expensive
but if you see something that might work better let me know.

I've got a big fan question. I'm getting a new 360mm liquid cooler, haven't decided the brand yet. I plan on running a push/pull configuration at some point.
One burning questing I have that I can't seem to find, other than a bunch of contradicting info on the internet, is which fans should be on which side of the radiator.
What I really want to do is have RGB fans facing the inside of my case with the stock fans facing the outside of the case. Odds are the RGB fans will be a lower RPM and CFM than the stock cooler fans. I do however want to replace the stock fans with noctua fans down the line.
My question is should the lower RPM and CFM fans be pulling or pushing air? I know SP fans are best for pushing air through the radiator and AF fans are best for pulling. IDK if air should be pulled in faster than it is being pushed out or vice versa.
Is there a lot of math involved in this or is it something simple that I'm over thinking? Any advice would be appreciated lol.

Hey all,
What's my best option motherboard/CPU combo in the range of 700-900 combined?
I screwed up my pins replacing a heatsink/fan on my I7-8700K/Asus ROG Z370E and now need to replace.
Mostly for gaming performance with some graphics/video editing often enough to want high end for those purposes too.
Have a ROG Strix Geforce RTX 2080 TI and dont plan to upgrade it too terribly soon.
ETA: I've always been most accustomed to buying Intel

So, I've been toying around with the idea of getting a gaming PC to put in my living room for couch gaming. I was excited about the Steam Deck, but I want to game in 4k 30-60fps on a large tv.
Assuming (i) I'm not ready to undertake building my own, and (ii) price isn't really a concern, what do you guys think about the CORSAIR ONE a200 Compact Gaming PC?
I'd mainly be using it to played modded Soulsborne games and other modded RPGs. Do you think it'd be easy enough to just plug this thing into my TV with an HDMI cable, and then (presumably) use a wireless K/B to navigate when not using a controller?

PC Part Picker
Can you guys give me opinions on this build? Will be building my first PC soon and I set my budget right around 1k. I have zero experience building, so this is a build I put together after researching and watching YouTube videos a couple hours today. Am I missing anything, besides the Monitor which I’ll buy later.

Asking for a little help for a project I'm working on. I'm building a digital tabletop for a role-playing game. I have a cheap 4k TV that I want to play 4k video on from a laptop. This is not for gaming in 4k in case you are not familiar with what I'm doing. I won't be streaming to the TV either. It would be a hardwired connection from the laptop to the TV. Anyway, my question: what is your recommendation for the lowest cost laptop that could play 4k video on the 50 inch 4k TV? Any help would be appreciated! I'm near all big box stores and a Microcenter and could also order online.
Thanks in advance for your advice!

So I have a weird technical question.
Just built a new AM5 system as follows: MSI A PRO b650m motherboard, r5 7600x, 3070, windows 10 ect.
I play on mobile hotspot as this is the only way I can play FPS games with 'low' ping. My previous laptop I had, I got stable ping, no packet loss or anything.
Since building this new PC, I am getting a constant 'packet loss out' of around 10% while tethering hotspot with USB. When I turn on the wifi mobile hotspot, the packet loss out goes away.
I have done every single thing I can think of to fix this problem, so I am wondering if windows didn't download the latest driver that pops up under network adapters in device manager or something? When I connect the tether hotspot, the usb internet driver that pops up in network adapters is from 2009.
I am lost and there is really no help topics I can find online with someone with the same problem.
Edit: I also tried every single usb port, new cable, ect

When did AMD start making their own "Founders Edition" Radeon cards? I'm looking at a used 6900 XT on Ebay for $500 with free shipping.

Possible scam?

Not sure if this is the place to do it these days but I am looking to upgrade my computer. The one I built back in 2011 is still running great but its time for something new. Below are the specs I have put together on PCPartpicker. For those of you that are better at this than me, is there anything I should modify or add? I set the budget for this around $3500 to hopefully hold me over for a while but am flexible.
The usage would be a mixture of work and gaming. For gaming I get into the simulators (DCS/Flight Simulator) but also have recently got into Cities Skylines and am doing this in anticipation of Cities Skylines 2 coming out in the fall.
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz 6-Core Processor
Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler
Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER (rev. 1.0) EATX AM5 Motherboard
G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
Crucial T700 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 5.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
Gigabyte AERO OC GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB Video Card
Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO ATX Mid Tower Case
Super Flower Leadex V Pro 1000 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Microsoft Windows 11 Pro OEM - DVD 64-bit
I like the look of the Corsair liquid CPU coolers and would welcome any suggestions there as a change.
I appreciate any help/suggestions.

So I'm looking for a 1440p 60hz monitor but they cost just as much as 120 or 144. But how does gaming at 60hz look on 120/144?

So, I haven't kept up with all the changes and am just now getting a little up to speed on current hardware and (potentially) revolutionary changes on the horizon - so with that out of the way:
Just how big a deal are NPU considerations, the upcoming ARM chip explosion, Windows 12 (maybe?) for a current, mid-2024 build? I know if the need isn't necessarily pressing, one can always wait and the parts always get better/cheaper, more future-proof, but are these things legit concerns to cause a wait of 6 months or a year just to see how all these things evolve?
