Yeah I was gonna go for the 2600x since it was coming with a better cooler but then I think the price jumped like 50-60 bucks on it.
I feel like that should be more than fine for me. I don’t game a lot on pc since my normal playing buddies are still all on console. For gaming it would just be a nice change of pace for when I don’t feel like jumping on COD or don’t have anyone else on.
What are your thoughts on the PSU? I know it’s more than powerful enough but I think that one is about 6 years old.

For the Power Supply, I would go with something that at least is 80+ Bronze rated.
I currently have a Rosewill Capstone 750M which is 80+ Gold rated in my build. I’ve been using it for 4 years in my current build, but it’s been used for about 8 years total. Had no issues, but I’m probably gonna consider getting something new in a SFX form factor since the Capstone is only ATX sized.
I’ve been planning on building an ITX build for a while now, it just hasn’t happened yet
doesn’t help that the virus has impacted my job too.
Good brands for Power Supplies are EVGA, Corsair, and Seasonic. Rosewill is good too, but I’ve heard mixed things about their latest models.

I have a suggestion for you, don't go modular unless you are going for aesthetics + performance.
Modular cables give you less articulation and flex in the cable. The cable becomes more difficult to navigate from A to B and takes up more space, meaning less airflow in case. Sounds backwards, I know, but just a suggestion.
I've used a few SFX PSUs, but stopped buying the modular ones for builds because it can be a pain forcing already shorten cable lengths with less flex into position.

Thanks for the help. Found a decent EVGA one for like 50 bucks. Probably get that over the next few days.

frick. I’ve given up wanting to keep this simple and low budget...
I want a new case. Something that’s easier to clean than my old one that I have to unscrew the panels off of
Anyone have any suggestions?
This one seems like a pretty solid one based on the reviews. Are there any downsides that I don’t know about?

Probably just gonna go ahead and get this one.

I just got really sad. I misread my order email for the case, gpu, and PSU that it is expected to arrive today.
Turns out it’s shipping out today. I was looking forward to taking a short day tomorrow and start building it lol.

Who is the Unboxed Nerd?
Reminds me of the The Nerd Crew (which is a joke). Why does he have all his "nerd cred" in the background of the shot?

Bought the Nighthawk AX8 and it was junk. Probably defective LAN speed was about 3Mbps and froze and lagged like crazy. Was odd. Plug back in old one and 400Mbps immediately.
Wifi 6 was still one bar out in my yard by the pool, same as previous wifi 5.
Sent back.

Did you try changing cables? It is crazy how many times it is just a bad cable. But since it worked with the old one, probably not the case.
What client device do you have that can get Wifi 6? I thought Wifi 6 would be worse at distance than 5GHz?

Note 10+ was the first wifi 6 phone. Now every new phone has it from iPhone 11 to S20's etc. iPad Pro, the new Mac Air all have it, probably easier to say any new mainstream device has it.

Wifi 6 is both bands, the speed was a tad higher at 1 bar versus wifi 5 but meh. The OFDM is supposed to provide wider coverage with more stability and speed thanks to the 160 MHz channel and the significantly wider QAM for more data through a stronger signal.
I think it's mostly because these routers are still the first batch of Wifi 6 and they are just mostly not very good. 2020 is supposed to have a bunch of new ones/2nd gens.
