Can you recommend a monitor sub $250 at the 24" range? I can't do 27"
Edit: it needs to have built in speakers. I know it's stupid but it's a need... Lol | You definitely don't really need to worry about fresh rate if you don't game. Most monitors now are at least 75Hz and that's more than enough.
Is a curved monitor something you have tried using or looked at before? 24" isn't really that wide so I'm not sure how effective it would be. And if you do photo editing, a curved screen can make your straight lines look warped. Maybe not an issue, but something to think about.

The 27 inch Asus pro art is rated 2nd on the list. the 24 inch should be similar.

height adjustable is a game changer too.
my budget 144hz 24'' was so low to the desk,couldn't move it up or down unless you buy a desk monitor stand, and the newer 360hz with height adjust build-in seems massive just cause its close to eye height without looking down, its weird as hell.
one of those things you have to try to believe it

Yeah I adjust my monitor height all the time, depending on how I'm sitting. It's a huge feature you probably would never think about.

Its going on a vesa desk mount, but thanks everyone. I picked up the Asus today! Will try both and update. Thanks RS 
Update: you guys were absolutely right, the Asus is far better. If I didn't have them side by side probably the Acer would have been enough but when compared together the winner was clear. Thanks again!

You want 2 sticks of ram to run dual channel for faster speeds. Also get an m.2 nvme drive instead of the 2.5 inch.

Trying to cop a 5600x or 3070 has been really difficult since the beginning of December when I started trying. I have the stockradar discord and notifications on but by the time I get to the cart stuff is sold out. The other annoying thing is they tend to restock when I'm at work and I can only check my phone 1-3 times in a 12 hour shift hah.
So close to going through facebook marketplace
A much needed upgrade from my 3930k and gtx 460 build that i'll be passing to my parents as their netflix / banking / general browsing PC

With mining viable again, expect prices to go up and up before they ever level out. Those prices aznviper posted are probably as low as they'll ever be this year. So don't hesitate if you can get one, if you can afford it.
Otherwise a console will be a much better option. Sure they're just about as hard to find, but at least the price won't be insane.

Does anyone have an extra 8pin corsair connector? My cablemod kit only came with 2, borrowing a friend's extra until he upgrades to a 3090. I have a corsair hx1200i.
Does anyone know if evga 8pin will work?

You will blow your shit up.

Basically each brand will reconfigure the inside connector ports to their own configuring type but use the the same standard external Plugs that can will fit ANY PSU.

Great, we've started going backwards.
If you know the pinouts (or have one cable already) you could repin it though.

You will blow your shit up. | I do understand that, but from my understanding the hx1200i can use type 3 and type 4 8pin connectors within the corsair psu family. Is that not correct.

Looks like it, so just have to make sure you get the right cable type. Corsair writes it on the PSU end of the plug IIRC.

Prices have gone up a while ago. I think most vendors vendors have already bumped up their price, but some are apparently competing with scalpers. lol

Got my hands on a MSI one yesterday from newegg but I cancelled because they force you to buy a power supply to. Ended up being $1060 for a 3060ti and a 750w bronze power supply. Just missed a 3060ti from bestbuy for $549.99 today.

I'm only subbed to pc sales so by the time a thread is created, I'm probably already at a 10 min disadvantage.
This is gonna sound dumb but I'm kind of "boomer," I don't know what to do with discord. I have an account but I've only used it for gaming to chat with friends. What do I do exactly to see stock and get notifications?

I am in this Discord channel. https://discord.gg/v5yh6f8W
Join it and then go to the #alerts-signup channel. Click on the emojis that correspond to the stock you want and the province you're in.
Then make sure you enable notifications for Discord and Windows, mute all the other channels and channel groups except for your device, and go check every time there's a Discord notification or ping sound.
