I second your decision about Alienware. I used to work for Dell as a phone support technician. I was the level 2 tech and part of Dell's YTT (Your Tech Team) program that people were suckered into paying $249/year for where they got 4 software issues and unlimited hardware issues. Alienware...

can you build that with a threadripper for that price? Keep in mind, I am not seriously saying it is worth spending that kind of coin on your PC but if you have to choose a PC Building company and have the money to throw around, Falcon-NW is my go to. If you want a Linux based build with good...

This is exactly what Vulkan will do. Another reason to get a Threadripper or other high thread/core count chip since Vulkan will spread the load out across all available cores and threads as well as GPUs. No need for SLI or Crossfire drivers since Vulkan has the ability built in to spread the...

The NVMe to PCIe setup "works" and I get the speeds but I have 0 PCIe lanes left. I have a professional sound card but can not use it as all 20 lanes are taken up by the GPU and the card. If I was only doing 1 thing on my machine, Intel "might" be reasonable. But another thing that irks me is...

I'd actually recommend a Gigabyte or ASRock board over MSI. MSI is having issues with quality control while Gigabyte has the best damn VRMs in the business (True 16-phase IR chips, no doublers) and ASRock makes some solid bang for the buck boards.

Intel can no longer claim the IPC crown. They still hold the GHz crown (while also consuming the most power) but even AMD's mobile processors in the 4000 series crush Intel's latest 10th gen chips in IPC and other workloads. Ive been running AMD rigs for a long time all the way back to the 90s...

After the major and vast array of security flaws Intel has baked into their processors basically from the early 90s all in the quest for beating AMD at the IPC and Ghz battle, I refuse to run Intel on any of my systems and while AMD also suffers from some of the same flaws, they are not nearly...

That is kind of what I was originally going for but.....that price just for the CPU..... Im going to need a complete overhaul. New PSU, New Case, New Cooler, New RAM, Another GPU AND the CPU. I think I specced it out to be around $3k.

intel can stuff it.

you are of course ignoring the rest of the parts in that machine. As well as the 3 years parts and labor warranty.

I don't know about that. RTX 2080 Ti cards are NOT cheap and usually go for ~$1200. Falcon is so far the only one I have seen to offer it for ~$800

Upgrading to Threadripper 3rd gen and 64GB of RAM will give you the biggest boost in everything. BUT the price aint nothing to sneeze at.

Falcon Northwest is a well known, respected and quality builder but the price is NOT trivial. Falcon-NW for Example, the Talon Mid-Tower has X570 and TRX40 along with the Intel counterparts. But the price STARTS at $5k but it does come with 3 years parts and labor warranty. I saw they have a...

Well, I got home from my Corporate IT job today and attempted to turn on my gaming rig from 2012. It took multiple attempts and while the power would come on, it would not POST. I finally resolved it with a 30/30/30 power reset. Frankly Im not surprised as this has been going on for a couple...

Thank you

I am from North Mississippi (No I will not provide my grid coords). What drew me to Star Citizen? It is coming to Linux for one. The technical level is another plus. What do I look forward to most in Star Citizen? (PVP, Exploration, etc): Well, that is a loaded question. I would have to say...
