    Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB or 1x16GB?

    Always go Dual Channel if your motherboard supports it. In this case it does, so 2 x 8 is always better than 1 x 16.

    Fractal Design Meshify 2. Absolutely wonderful case to build in. The fact you can remove the top completely makes it an absolute breeze to install an AIO.

    Target resolution is 1440p, which is what I am playing at now on my Dell UP2716D. There is no pressing need to upgrade, just the desire to upgrade my GPU now that I have upgraded my system. You know the saying, "One can never have enough". I've been bitten by the upgrade bug, is all.

    By light gamer, I mean that I occasionally play one of the Call of Duty series games, and sometimes Half-Life 2 or 3. The kids love to play Minecraft and Roblox. That is about it. I was thinking to start exploring some of the newer games, mostly in the FPS genre, which I why I wanted to upgrade...

    I am now considering getting the 6950XT or 7900XT from Sapphire. This is my first Radeon card in a long time. The last one was when they were still ATI, around 15-20 years ago. None of the current nVidia offerings strike me as being worthwhile, and the 4080 is handily beaten by the 7900xtx...

    Glad you like the build. The chassis is a Fractal Design Meshify 2 in Grey with a light tinted glass panel. Got it on Amazon for around 16K. This particular variant is no longer available there, though. It is a great case to build in, and the panel in front of the motherboard can be moved to the...

    My current SLIK F730 has a nasty habit of drooping no matter how much I tighten the head. And no, I currently do not have any super gigantic cameras or lenses, just my 70D with a grip and a Tamron 70-300 VC and Canon 15-85 IS USM. I just need the tripod to be steady. And since I needed a new...

    I know it's expensive, but as far as I am concerned, I am always happier to have and not need than to need and not have. So I tend to spend a little extra to get something better that the run of the mill: The tripod I already have, the SLIK F730 (2.7K), like all mass market tripods, is a flimsy...

    This new version has several differences from the old one: 1. No Macro 2. Better optics 3. Better construction 4. VC - most important. I have been using it only a couple of hours and already I like the feel of it. Feels very solidly built, and the zoom ring feels just tight enough. There is no...
