  1. If your case has a cutout so that you can access the back of the motherboard, you can install the cooler later albeit a bit more difficult. You have to change some brackets on the motherboard, and it's definitely easier to do this outside of the case.
  2. Signed up for the alpha, hopefully it'll give me a nice change of pace from Overwatch.
  3. A 4070 would be worthwhile. The 3060 wasn't even that good when it released. 4090 would only be worth it if you're using a 4k monitor. Even then, there are several generations of Ryzen and the older ones wouldn't be great for future games.
  4. There's basically no difference. MSI is one of the bigger dealers in video cards, but their quality is not necessarily better. Any manufacturer can make a dud card, and I'd wager the quality control on how they are assembled is the bigger difference between these two cards because their reference design is practically identical.
  5. For $700? 3090 isn't worth it unless you absolutely need the 24GB of memory for production. 4070 Ti just uses so much less power, produces less heat, and will have better driver support.
  6. There should be no difference between CPUs for just watching videos. Oh and oops, I picked the wrong board. This one would be better, but yes either one supports at least 3 fast SSDs: Just a moment... PCPARTPICKER.COM
  7. Oh yeah, I forgot a cooler. You can get a good air cooler for $40+ or a liquid cooler for around $100. You don't need to spend much, in fact most of the price of spending more is really about making it look cool with RGB and stuff. Video decoding will be handled by the GPU. The Intel processor will be better if you do productivity that needs more cores, like video editing and such. I'd lean more towards the AMD CPU for your situation, and it's also rumored the next gen of AMD CPUs are going to be a big improvement and should be compatible with the motherboard. The motherboard has multiple PCIE 5.0 slots (one for an SSD, one for a GPU) in case that becomes relevant in the future. Revised list: Just a moment... PCPARTPICKER.COM
  8. The non-Ti is a slightly better value. 12GB of VRAM will start falling off after the console refresh cycle happens, but should hold its own as the current consoles give devs access to about 12GB of VRAM so that's what cross-platform games will target. That appears to be a quality Seasonic-made unit, so it will probably be fine to use but be prepared to get a new one. You will know if it's bad if you get crashes while gaming or some other high-powered load. If you go with an AMD CPU they require less power which should help, and the 4070 also doesn't use much power either. So, while I haven't searched for the absolute best value parts, something like this: Just a moment... PCPARTPICKER.COM
  9. It could be a lost cause. A couple of years ago my Windows (notably explorer.exe) was acting funny and had poor performance while gaming. I tried every single fix and optimization I could find, including half of those commands. Nothing worked, so I caved and did a fresh install of the OS. My problems were finally solved after that. You could try a reset that keeps your files, which basically copies over your documents folder and resets everything else. But it's probably best to wipe everything. Get an external drive and copy over any files. If there are program settings you'd like to transfer, then copy over your entire C:\Users folders and make sure it includes your AppData folder (which is hidden by default at C:\Users\username\AppData) since that contains most of the settings for your applications.
  10. Have you tried checking your file system for errors? In the command prompt, try these:
  11. So he wanted to see what happens if he made Batman kill but he didn't explore that at all. No explanations, justifications, or dilemmas. Killing was just an everyday activity for Bruce in those movies.
