Hello chat, question I normally build my own pcs over the past 30 years but I see with the rising prices now is it cheaper to get a prebuilt one. If so I’m looking for a 4K  pc to play mainly Arc Raiders, gears and madden and ncaa football. I am a console gamer and likely would use my gamesir g7 pro zzz on the pc.  I would like to keep the price no higher than $2500 if this is even possible.  Please advise a great setup that could achieve this. Links, prebuilt custom sites etc would be greatly appreciated!

thanks for the help!

I would be playing it on my Samsung Q60N tv

Hello, I purchased the following items to build my own gaming pc. So far, I have installed the motherboard and 7 fans.  I am just waiting on the SSD's to arrive today to put it together.  I have some questions hopefully someone can advise me on. 

1)  The fan's that I purchased I will be putting 2 - ARCTIC P14 Pro PST 110 CFM 140 mm Fans on the top of the case.  I am thinking I can daisy chain them together but not sure where to plug it in on the mb as there is many fan spots. 

2)  The fan's I purchased I am putting 3 - ARCTIC P12 Pro PST 77 CFM 120 mm Fans on the front of the case.  I am thinking I can daisy chain them together but not sure where to plug it in on the mb as there is many fan spots.

3)  The fan's I purchased I am putting 2 - ARCTIC P12 Pro PST 77 CFM 120 mm Fans on the bottom of the case.  I am thinking I can daisy chain them together but not sure where to plug it in on the mb as there is many fan spots. 

Thanks, appreciate the feedback!

So, what is your question? 

Can you daisy chain them? Yes. And there are also cable splitters, too.

Where can you put it on your motherboard? Just select where the closest spot is to the fans and plug it in.

Your motherboard manual should tell you where the fan headers are.

yeah, the questions were basically where I should plug each set of fans in on the mb or doesn't it really matter, picking closest spots is the best option. can't wait get it build to see how it runs, strictly using it just for games. probably going to just installed windows 11 pro and that's it.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
