A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm planning on building a PC soon and, while I have done plenty of research, I'd like to hear advice from people who have experience in the area personally. It's also just nice talking to other people in general, lol

For sure, I win a 5800x3d and a 4070ti on an 850, but I had to replace the 650 that I built with in 2020 to do that. Two power supplies in three years could have been averted if I had just bought a bit more than I needed the first time. It sucks having to completely rewire an already built computer too.
