I am upgrading my computer and wanting to ask around and see if this build will work.
What i currently have: GPU - Galax Geforce RTX 2070 8GB Mobo - MSI B450M Mortar AM4 mATX PSU - Corsair 750W TX750M 80 Plus Gold CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 6-Core AM4 3.6GHz RAM - Corsair 16GB (2x 8GB) CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 DDR4 SSD - Samsung 500GB SSD 860 EVO Case - Corsair Crystal Series 460X RGB Fans - Thermaltake Riing 12 White High Static Pressure LED Fans (3 Pack) I have 2 fans on top and 1 on the back of the case, as well as the 3 fans at the front that come with the case.
I am looking to upgrade my CPU and MOBO and possibly RAM if its required: CPU - Intel Core i5 12600K Mobo - MSI PRO Z690-A WIFI DDR4
I play World of Warcraft and want to be able to play with smooth FPS at ultra graphics even in the capital cities. Currently getting about 30 FPS in Valdrakken. I think my CPU is bottlenecking my GPU in a big open world MMO.
But want to be able to play decent games like Red Dead Redemption 2 at a fairly high graphics setting as well, not expecting to hit Ultra with this new upgrade.
Will I be able to do some slight overclocking as well? I have never done it before so I dont want to go crazy with it. I have tried it with my current build and my computer would freeze while playing Elden Ring.
And yes I got convinced to get a mATX a while ago and regret it.. Especially since I cant get Wifi in the board since my GPU is too big and sits over the slot.
Does the MSI PRO Z690 have Wifi installed or do I still need to buy a seperate card for it?
I have heard of SSD's that sit in like RAM without the need for SATA cables as well.
Thankyou for your time reading this.

Elden Ring is one of my favorite games ever, but only because I interacted with the online community and troves of advice and lore they’ve built up. I’d probably never have beaten it without community help. And I think that’s awesome — not bad. I just think anyone starting fresh should embrace the community instead of sticking it out alone.

Hey all, need some help with my new build!
My PC is starting to not work quite as good anymore, and I really need to build a new PC to stabilize performance. Main games are Street Fighter 6 and Guilty Gear Strive at the moment, with Tekken 8 coming at the end of the yeabeginning of next year. I also like to play newer AAA single player games like Elden Ring.

• I play in tournaments at at a competitive level so I'd like the most stable and low lag performance I can get for practicing at home. That's the most important thing for me. Low input lag + stable performance is king for me.
  
• Would prefer 4K
  
• Would like it to be able to support at least 2 monitors, maybe 3 (my current rig seems to work less than ideal when I use 2)
  
• I do modding with BlendeUnreal Engine so something that can handle that would be ideal
  
• I also do music production, so I need enough resources to run multiple plugins and devices at once.
  
• Last requirement, I don't want to have to upgrade for another 4+ years.
  
• Occasional streaming. Not a must, but I use OBS to record matches + tech so it needs to be able to at least screen record reliably.
  

What're we thinking?! I am leaning towards NVIDIA GPUs (most likely 4070) since that's what I know and I love the way their cards work, but I'm willing to be swayed to AMD if it makes more sense. I pretty much haven't been paying attention to PC parts in the last few years so I'm really out of the loop here.
CPU I don't really have a preference, AMD and Intel are both fine for me but my current CPU is an AMD.
Having a lot of stutters in games like Chivalry 2 and Street Fighter 6 lately which is prompting me to want to upgrade

Hey, I'm french (sorry if I make some mistakes), I'm not used to this subreddit, but I juste remember a game of which I remember a let's play on a french YouTube channel, I thought it was superbrioche but it's not I checked all of his videos and I have a +18 account. I remember that you controlled a young women in a world where the artstyle is really like black and white, but not completely, the main character was blond really clear almost white with long hair, there was a thing going on with a cat, there was another character really close the the main character which was in opposition to her visually, dress almost totally in black, it was a 3d game,u could move your character freely in the world (I think) and so for the camera. if I had to give a period where I saw the video and so the release of the game I would say around 2015/2017. It could be a french game I have no idea. I may have given some false informations I'm really not sure of my memories, if it rings a bell to anyone, or if you have the answer it would really help me! Thank you for trying to help or just reading this !

Hi everyone I’m Kai I’m hoping to get some friends obviously xD
I’m interested in a gaming buddy on pc
I want a long term friendship Idm the time zone as long as you’re cool with it
Games I’m interested in are deep rock, elden ring, Genshin impact, Honkai star rail, spider man, kingdom hearts and many many more
I’m also into anime, manga, DC and Marvel
Feel free to DM me I’m really hoping this AD about myself attracts people

No shade towards Aimee-Ffion Edwards, it's just that I've gotten so use to hearing her as Mio from Xenoblade 3 now that hearing the same voice come out of Ranni makes me think, "How did you end up in the Lands Between, Mio?"

hi!
​
as per title, i'm hoping to find and make friends with people that are down to game. going through a bit of a lonely spell and the few people i'm friends with don't have as much time as i do to game so...
​
currently, the only game i'm playing is Apex Legends, though i'm generally down for most games so long as i have it. some of the games that i have and would be down to play are: Terraria, Minecraft, Valheim, Don't Starve Together, Elden Ring, Remnant: From the Ashes, Borderlands 1-3 + Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, BO3 Zombies. worth mentioning that i'm on pc and am located in the US on the west coast.

I just thought you got more powerful from levelling up lol. I assumed everyone else was a god at this game lol

Hi!
I currently have an issue regarding bluetooth on my ASUS FX505DU Gaming Laptop:
Specs:
Windows 11
AMD Ryzen 7 3750H
GTX 1660Ti
​
Every single time I play a video game (in this case Elden Ring or FIFA 23) my Bluetooth keeps uninstalling itself or disappearing from Device Manager. I checked the 'Show hidden devices' and all the options under "Bluetooth" are greyed out and my Realtek Bluetooth Adapter Device Status states that: Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45). The Bluetooth icon on the tray is also gone.
This only happens when gaming, when browsing the net casually i.e. Netflix, Youtube, Bluetooth works fine.
Solutions I tried but didn't work:

1. Opening Bluetooth troubleshooter (All it says is Bluetooth radio status - Fixed) when it doesn't do anything
2. Bluetooth troubleshooter also says Bluetooth is not installed
3. Changing Device Management -> Bluetooth Adapter -> Power Management -> Unchecked "Allow the Computer to Turn off this device to save power
4. Checked my Power Plan to High Performance -> Wireless Adapter Settings -> Maximum Performance
5. Uninstalling and reinstalling Bluetooth drivers from ASUS website (latest version)
6. Opening services.msc and setting Bluetooth Support Service to Automatic
7. Turning off Fast Boot

Any help are greatly appreciated.
​
Thank you.

Hello,
Me and my friend are playing Elden ring together for our first playthrough of the game. I chose to do a dex bleed build and he has chosen to a sorcerer build with some dex on the side.
In the PvE environment our builds compliment each other nicely. I can do lots of damage up close while he range enemies. We also have little trouble with enemy resistances as there are few enemies that are resistant to both of our damage types.
In the PvP environment however, his build is getting waffle stomped to hell by mine. We do PvP on a semi-regular basis to test our builds progression and also just for fun, but he just really cannot compete with mine.
Is he missing something or is his build just not good at PvP? I’ve played all 3 dark souls games and felt that sorcery was pretty weak in PvP but right now his just seems awful. Any advice for improving?

As always, thank you to u/SpacePaladin15 for the wonderful universe that is NoP
Thank you to u/cruisingNW for proof reading and helping me out of some hang ups, you're the man!

The written portions of the flight training were surprisingly easy; I had expected more of a challenge, honestly.
The way the Venlil set up their cockpits turned out to be pretty similar to some of the old space sims I’ve messed with so I got the button and function portions down pretty quickly. Although learning how to actually send and identify proper codes and requests was a lot more complicated than in the sims. It was mostly automated but by god there were still a lot of them. A day's study and another shot at it and I was qualified for the simulator training portion. Seems like most of the work is hands on, er paws on, in their case, which suited me just fine, always did learn better by doing.
Videk, my flight instructor, was pretty helpful, although a bit flighty. Any sudden movements or too loud of a voice and he was out the door as fast as it would open, bleating out something about ‘not letting it happen again.’ He should probably talk to someone.
Videk’s demeanor aside he’d cleared me for the sim training portion; if it’s anything like the written tests, it’ll be a piece of cake!

Oh yea, I’ve still got it.
Those written tests were too easy! Labeling parts, marking up maintenance procedures for errors, writing out steps for disassembly of standard ships systems… It was like being back in school, just with a little bit more on the line this time.
Even the practical portions were easy, tearing down mock drives and generators for routine maintenance work came and went within a paw!
Chris’ ability to just plow through a whole paw of study and testing was awe inspiring, if perhaps a little scary; the fact that a human could focus on one task for that long was almost haunting. After a claw or a claw and a half working on refresher packets, teardowns, and tests, I was spent and needed a break. Meanwhile the big Human would just keep reading away while jotting down notes on his pad.
Bamen, one of the station's engineers, had administered my review testing. He had seemed impressed, only having a pawful of comments and corrections. I made it on the fast track to the practical test with Chris in the simulator!
During university the sim trials were just to give you experience dealing with problems as they appeared on the fly, at least for the engineers. I wasn’t sure what Chris would have to deal with, but I was sure he could handle it.
If this goes as well as the sims in university we’ll be cleared in no time!

Humans, apparently, have a tendency to disrupt anything they touch. Not by intention, just by their very being and… temperament. It’s like the Protector-abandoned things enjoy danger, although I suppose it wouldn’t be much of a surprise.
The first simulator scenario went as expected, take off, fly straight and level on a predetermined course to another landing zone, land, done. The engineer was just there to monitor output, observe the standard gauges and gain familiarity with the space; not even any randomized failures. Easy! The Human managed the route just fine, albeit a bit fast for its first time behind the stick.
The second simulator scenario I put the Human and it’s Venlil “companion” through what was meant to be a standard shuttle run between two stations, crossing a slow moving asteroid field. Get from point A to point B with the possibility of a random minor failure while also avoiding slowly moving predictable asteroids. Also easy!
The Human, on the other paw, seemed to think that simple task to be boring, considering its insistence on pushing the limits of the simulated shuttle to their break points.
Takeoff was fine. A bit rough but the Human was still learning, practice would eventually even that out.
First the simulated failure, the alarm for the drives reserve coolant reservoir fill sensor sounds off. Grating and attention grabbing, the engineer jumps on it immediately.
Good, quick reaction and diagnosis. I mark a note for review on my pad.
She’s quick and efficient, the problem is fixed nearly immediately and she’s already getting ready to top the tank back off.
Then I hear it. The simulated groan of the shuttles frame, protesting extreme maneuvers. A quick and repetitive boop-bwawp alarm sounds from the control console, signaling that the dampeners are nearing their limits. As I turn an eye to look at the cockpit and that Protector-abandoned Human I notice 4 things:

1. It's weaving through the asteroids like there’s an entire flight of Arxur fighters gnashing at our tail.
2. The throttle is pinned to its maximum setting.
3. It is preparing to pull even harder into the next maneuver.
4. It is laughing. A deep growling sound that sets my wool on end.

A flash of panic runs through me, memories and horrors I force back down. My instincts scream at me to bolt for the nearest exit, to get away from the feral predator. But something far more pressing roots me in place.
The tone of the alarm changes, informing us that the dampeners have been ‘overloaded’. I see it coming and I manage to brace, staying upright through the crushing weight. The engineer, on the other paw, is not so lucky. A crash and loud splash is followed by a long string of curses directed at the Human.
Protector help me.

Stars, I hate getting drive coolant out of my wool. What possessed that man to fly like that? It’s a shuttle sim, not a brahking fighter! I have half a mind to make him help me get this gunk brushed out later.
At the very least the sim training was going well, once Chris realized that the dampeners weren’t omnipotent, of course. The flight's simulated onboard failure had been pretty simple: one of the drive’s reserve coolant lines had come loose, just needed to re-attach the errant line and top off the tank. Unfortunately someone hadn’t thought that forcing the sim-rig through a [Human scale conversion: 15G] turn, overloading the dampeners by [Human scale conversion: 3G] was a generally poor decision and made me tumble tail over snout while holding an open bottle of coolant.
And it’s dried into my wool now, even better.

That was, in fact, not a piece of cake. Sure I was doing alright with flying and the sim was surprisingly similar to the ones I had played around with back home, although a fair bit more realistic. The ones at home didn’t use artificial gravity to simulate overloading your dampeners… dumping your engineer, and her payload, on the deck because of it.
Taisa’s still a bit upset about that one, I think. Luckily her wool is brown; if it was white or grey I think she’d be blue right now.
Otherwise I seemed to be doing well! Videk said he was ‘surprised a predator would take to something non violent so quickly’, granted that was between his panic attacks. Guy definitely needs to go talk to someone about that
Videk says he thinks another ‘paw’ or two of sim trials and we’ll be ready for the real deal!

Three paws.
Three paws of terror and the unending scream of my instincts to flee every time that Protector-abandoned Human took the stick, moved too fast, laughed or spoke too loudly.
I was a member of the Corps! Now I'm a disgrace. A coward.
I stood snout to snout against the Arxur and lived, when my compatriots fell… when they were eaten… I escaped. I lived. Every rest it played through my mind: their screams, the Arxur’s bellowing grinding laughter, the revelry of their slaughter… the sound of their deaths. Sick, wet popping horror as they died, it was all I could do to run, to flee… to live.
And here I was, stuck in a shuttle sim with a predator for the third paw in a row, waiting to die. All because I thought the money was too good to turn down.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
Sure the Human hadn’t actually tried to do anything to me, sure the empathy tests painted a pretty picture but I knew. I’d seen the heart of their kind before and it was black as the night.
AND IT’S INSISTENCE ON MAKING EVERY ALARM IN THE SIMULATOR PROTEST IT’S EVERY ACTION DOESN’T BRAHKING HELP EITHER!!!
Every alarm on the console, engineering and pilot’s, was lit up like the stars. Alarms wailing and blasting their warnings into the cockpit. That Engineer scampered around every surface, paws like lightning fixing fault after failure, a shockingly calm display of her competence.
The Human, on the other paw, was bellowing out that laugh again, wild and feral, as it fought the stick to keep the sim on course and out of harm's way. Like it was doing everything in its power to assert its dominance over a simple machine.
It was all too much. Everything fell away, every crutch, every wall, every little method and action I used to keep myself together crumbled beneath the situation and the weight of them fell on me harder than any dampener failure.
Panicked and nearly feral bleats ripped themselves past my lips, the names of my old crew, the ones I had watched falter and die… the ones I had left behind. Pleas for safety, prayers to the Protector that I would survive again, begging the Human not to kill me. The alarms of the simulator kept trilling, beeping and screaming over me. The wails compounding in my mind, driving me further into my instincts. Further into the panic.
The alarms die out, the simulated groaning of the frame and that Human’s infernal laughter fall away, replaced by the hum of a functional shuttle. I am still trapped in my own mind, the horror anchoring me to the floor, the images and their screams still roaring behind my closed eyes. The simulator bounces lightly, signifying that the shuttle has landed, a soft chime indicating a successful completion, rings throughout the cabin.
A heavy footstep on my left, a soft tail touches me on my shoulder to the right, snapping me from my panic. The Human looms over me, staring down at me through that reflective visor, showing the sniveling, despicable, weak thing I’ve become. Cowering on the floor like an animal.
Death has finally come for me, bearing the visage of my shame, of my failures.

​
Videk was in rough shape, sobbing on the floor bleating about ‘Bidor, Heren, and Perets’ and how he’d failed them. Screaming that he’d be coming to join them in the Protector’s embrace, begging for safety.
I couldn’t just let the guy flounder, this was painful to watch. As much as Videk may not have liked me, I quite liked him! He reminded me of my Uncle when I was younger, minus the existential terror at my mere existence, of course; PTSD sucks in every race, I suppose. I don’t know what happened to him but it was obvious the man needed help, needed someone to at least talk to about whatever happened to him. But first he needed to not be on the floor.
I reached down, trying to gently pick him up by the shoulders and place him into one of the jump seats on the wall. He did not like that. A rain of kicks, claws and terrified bleats forced me to let go of him.
Taisa quickly bounded up beside me, speaking with concern in her voice, “Chris, I think he needs a bit to get himself together. Why don’t you go on ahead and get us a spot for Second-Meal, I’ll keep an eye on him.”
I nodded before stepping out, she was right, I wasn’t helping the situation. Hell, from the looks of things I’m pretty sure I was the situation. That hurt more than I thought it would. I didn’t like causing problems, especially not like that.

This was not the paw I had thought I would be having.
Videk was obviously having issues. If I had to guess it came from something that happened in the Corps, or he was just really afraid of Humans which certainly wouldn’t be surprising as a devotee of the protector.
I need to do something.
“Videk,” I beep, softly, getting the older Venlils attention, gently putting my tail back on his shoulder. “It’s alright, no-one's going to hurt you, you’re safe. Why don’t you sit down here and take a breather?”
I helped him stagger to his paws before he collapsed back into the folding seat mounted to the wall; his paws kneading into the sides of his legs as his ears swivel about erratically. He was still panicking, it seemed.
After several moments of slowly steadying his breathing he rasped his question, “How… How do you feel so safe around it? That protector-abandoned thing could snap at any second!”
I bite my tongue for a moment, keeping myself from saying anything too harsh, although I’m sure my lashing tail does more than enough to give my feelings away. “I don’t think he has a harmful bone in his body. I’ve seen him put himself in harm's way to help others, heard him speak of peace, of phil-“
“But he’s a Predator!” Videk cut me off, a crazed look in his eyes as his tail flailed about in confusion. “All he wants is to destroy! To consume! To kill! How can you even trust a being like that?”
Perhaps a different approach would work better, then. I let out a heavy sigh, sitting in the seat next to Videk, focusing my ears on him. “Chris is… complicated. I trust him because he’s one of the only people I’ve ever met that didn’t judge me immediately. That talked to me and actually listened. I trust him because he didn’t bolt. I trust him because I believe he, and the rest of his species with him, want to help, and want to be friends.”
Videk was quiet, he just stared at me. Guess I’ve got more to say then.
“Chris talks… a lot about a lot of things. One paw he wanted to talk about spirituality.” I said, waving my paws in the air in front of me, mockingly gesturing to nothing in particular. “Not necessarily Human spirituality as a whole, since apparently none of them seem able to agree on any of it, but his views on it, his spirituality, as he put it. He says that he ‘believes that the universe has a tendency to put people where they need to be, when they need to be there. Sometimes things fall through the cracks; you end up in the wrong place, at the wrong time and things don’t go well. But most of the time when you’re hurting, when you’re searching for something to reach out and hold on to, it’ll be there.’”
His eyes searched me, looking for the lie that wasn't there, “Do you believe that?” He asked, voice small, his ears and kneading paws slowing down a little.
I thought for a moment. Did I? How could I not?
“Yes, yes I do. After all that’s happened in the last orbit… going from planting hundreds of seeds for jobs and having not a single one sprout, to talking with a predator over a chat app, to meeting him in person and then getting approval to not only start a job but to actually co-own the ship I would work on? All because I clicked the ad for the exchange program?”
I took in a breath, my tail setting itself in my lap as I thought about how quickly everything had changed.
Videk spoke up, still kneading at the sides of his legs, at least his ears had stopped and focused on me, that was an improvement. “Why are you telling me, then? What do you think I’m going to get from some Human’s philosophy?”
“That this happened for a reason. Maybe it was to show you that even at your lowest a Human won’t attack you. Maybe to show you that a Venlil and a ‘big scary predator’ can be friends. Or maybe it was to tell you that you should try. I’ve not been through what you have, but what I have been through wasn’t great. Chris, for all his scariness… he helps. Having someone I can talk to, that doesn’t judge, is a good feeling.”
“So you’re suggesting I talk with the Human about… what, life? About their favorite meats?!” He sighed, his paws stopping.
I whistle in amusement, “Maybe not him… ” That one's mine.
I was taken aback for a moment at the errant thought, before shaking my head and continuing.
“But the exchange program is still open, and actively looking for volunteers. There’s no requirement to meet your partner in person if you don’t feel comfortable with it. But having someone who’ll listen really does help. You don’t have to, but I think you should try, Videk. They might just surprise you.”
He seemed to genuinely think it over, his ears swiveling in thought as he put his paw to his chin. At least the panic seemed to have passed for now. “I’ll… I’ll think about it. For now I need to review the logs from the simulator, you should catch up to…” He sighed before taking in a deep breath. “Christopher.”
It wasn’t much but it was the start of progress. I hoped he did genuinely consider it, I didn’t know anything about his personal life but he seemed lonely. Talking about his problems or not, having someone to talk to that wasn’t a student would be good for him; and Humans loved to talk.
I stood, finding my way out of the door and off to the cafeteria to find Chris. After a full claw and a half of simulations, I was starving!

By the protector, that Human flew like a dayside wind. He’d broken half of the time records in the system for the final simulation! He hadn’t struck any debris and had maintained relative course control when the failures started piling up.
It- He passed. With flying colors at that! A lump stuck in my throat as I realized the next step of the flight training.
Oh protector I can’t be stuck in an actual shuttle with him for that long.
Then an idea, a plan, flashed through my mind. Remote training, the Human gets his stick time and all I have to do is monitor the shuttle from a comfy desk at home in Shadetree, answer any questions that might come up and keep tabs on their diagnostic reports. Easy, simple, safe.
I tapped away at my pad, sending a message to the both of them.
Congratulations, you’ve passed the simulator portion of your training regimen. You will begin on-stick flight training with remote monitoring next paw, at which time your assignment will be given to you. I will be getting the shuttle ready for your departure promptly.
