You don’t really need 32GB RAM for gaming Case COOLERMASTER MASTERBOX TD500 MESH ARGB GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Six Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.6GHz/35MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard ASUS® TUF GAMING B550-PLUS (DDR4, USB 3.2, 6Gb/s) - ARGB Ready! Memory (RAM) 16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4...

I seem to remember that @NoddyPirate specced a built with a modest graphics card and was going to play FS. Perhaps he might fly in to comment and make some recommendations for a budget FS build.

The Intel CPU isn’t the only problem with the build. If you insist on going that way you would still need changes. A 60Hz 720p monitor won’t play anything at high settings, no matter what graphics card you specify.

I would say that you should make changes. We need to know your uses for the PC, your budget and the monitor you will be using. The thread linked by @Martinr36 should guide you. I would be expecting most areas to change to get you good value.

Is this a PC you already have, or one you would like to have? Changing the cooler isn’t the highest priority here. The case, RAM, storage, PSU and WIFi card could all do with some alterations. What are you using this for? What monitor do you have? What is your budget? Please provide the...

To go to a Ryzen 7 you would also need to change the motherboard and cooling. Latest consoles are 8 core, so this could be a good move. The cost will obviously go up. This is based on the build by @Steveyg witha 5800x. Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD...

What is the PC for and what monitor will you be using?

I had a not dissimilar issue with a multi format USB card reader. Each card slot appeared as a separate drive letter in MS Explorer. When I tried to transfer raw files from my camera some of the pictures were corrupted when viewed on the PC. If I connected my camera directly via USB cable to the...

There isn’t really a summer. We have 2 seasons - dark winter and light winter. The trouble with the summer in the Highlands is the Highland Midge. Fortunately, they seem to prefer my wife to me. The trick is to walk close enough to not appear as a separate target without being engulfed in the...

I also really like the Gulf Coast of Florida in the off seasons. I wouldn’t go near the Disney parks. I would also highly recommend the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. People travel from all over the world to see them and I am only a few hours’ drive from the west coast and an hour from the...

I haven’t been to either. With Hawaii I was always put off by the high rise hotels behind the beaches, but that might just be Hawaii 5 0. My favourite places to visit have been Seychelles, South Africa and Australia.

I have been to Australia a number of times for work, mainly to Perth and once to Brisbane - 28 hours door to door for Perth and 32 hours for Brisbane is a long journey. I have quite a lot of family there and managed to visit a cousin I hadn’t seen for 40 years. It is a beautiful country, but I...

Never seen it. Is it meant to be a humorous version of the Waltons? Like @Martinr36 I struggle with ‘American humour’.

I am originally from Southampton, spent a few years at university in Nottingham, a few years commuting to Aberdeen in the 1990s and now live in darkest Aberdeenshire. We are now entering dark winter, as light winter has drawn to a close.

That is the usual designation. Please be aware that Watford Gap is nowhere near Watford.

Mum’s are special. We were staying on the Gulf (west) Coast of Florida. Mum was concerned that we would get caught up in the forest fires that were raging through California, as that was also on the west coast.

That makes sense. Being a typical man, I never read manuals or guides.

Not had much chance to use it yet. It seems a lot bigger than my old MS wireless mouse. That isn’t a problem for me, as I have large hands (as well as big feet) but it could be for others. I haven’t decided on what to do with all the buttons yet, as I am not used having them. I have the RGB set...

Many thanks to @TonyCarter for alerting us to the deal

Mine has now arrived and is connected to my PC. The keys are very different to those on my old Microsoft wireless keyboard and much noisier. It is better to type on and I don't get the missed characters I had on my old keyboard.
