I'm going to give you my story regarding this. Have been a sound blaster user for almost 24 years. Never had issues. Moving my soundcard (internal and external) from pc to pc until it was time to upgrade. I started having issues with my AE-5, switched to AE-7 and finally I got a G6. However I also t

A few thoughts: For just gaming and general productivity, there's no benefit to getting the X870E chipset - it's not going to provide any better performance over the B850 chipset, just extra data lanes that won't matter unless you plan on adding multiple extra PCIe expansion cards and m.2 storage dr

Thoughts on this build? Please feel free to criticize it. I'm also fine with a black and white look, and it looks as though the motherboard would mostly be covered by the sleeve in the case anyways; I believe these upgrades are worth the extra ~13k: PickPCParts Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryze
