Question Perhaps a silly question

I am going to build a new computer this year. Eventually i will probably install RTX5090 or 5080, but before that happens i will be using the internal gpu of 9950X3D. My question is: how will the new cpu graphics stack up against the radeon 6990CF that i am currently using in my old system? Kind...

Question Motherboard for my next build

What do you guys think about this one: https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-components/motherboards/workstation/pro-ws-z890-ace-se/ Looking at the specs i like it better than the gaming boards I've seen earlier. Still trying to decide between intel vs amd; but board specs/features seem reasonable.

Question Quality PSU in 2025

went with corsair RM1000X. Currently using Cooler Master Silent Pro M - 1000W 80 PLUS, which has given me good service for over a decade; so hopefully corsair is not a step down.

Question Quality PSU in 2025

Back when i built my current rig, in 2011, the PSUs lacked amperage on the 12V rail, so even though i used cool master 1000W power supply, i had to add a 450W 12V auxiliary supply that lives in 5.52" bay to feed 2x 6990s. I am building a new high end rig.Top end video card like 5090, lot of...

Question Case for my next build? Suggestions please

I won't be building new computer in my current case. If I use antec 1200 for new build, it will be a new antec 1200 that I would have to modify by building in a water cooler.

Question Long term storage on HDD

I looked up Rsync, it looks like it is a back-up tool similar to FreeFileSync that i use now. Can it actually refresh source file which is different on content level from 2 other sources that are in agreement?
