Agreed with the Swan recommendations. I like them (on paper). Thinking of considering the Swan M50w because of the sub-woofer. Any views ?

That's a super job of responding, much appreciated! I have pretty much the same use case, so your views are the most relevant in this thread. And I am no audiophile myself (very little interest / time spent in listening to music). So my concern is just "loudness" (for parties) and "bass" (for...

Mackie CR4BT is 12k, right ? Anything else which you were contemplating but didnt end up going for ? How did you decide between Mackie and Logitech (Z623/625), let's say ? Space alone ? What's your use case? How will you get back the bass that Logitech offers ? Sorry for the many questions...

What did you end up getting ? Any recommendations at 15k or above price point for loud, bassy speakers for gaming and movies (not into pure music)

Thanks, I will. I guess the issue I foresee is that Hathway provides these services through local guys and they may all have slightly modified version of their plans. Is that picture from an email or a link ?

Can you point to the plan ? 450 GB per month sounds great. I currently have 150 gb which gets exhausted pretty fast. And 3mbps speed post that is super slow.

Had similar issues with blocked sites on Hathway (through local service providers). Updating DNS (blank earlier) to Google DNS server fixed them.

Psycho, wanna play Borderlands 2?

Went with pretty much the exact configuration three weeks back (in terms of key components). Link to TE thread below: https://techenclave.com/community/threads/new-gaming-rig.184833/ I was only upgrading, so fewer components mentioned. Same CPU, mobo, gfx card. Similar resolution requirement...

I have finalised the build and ordered most components. Here we go: CPU - AMD Ryzen R5 1600 - 16.0k Motherboard - Asus B350-F ROG STRIX GAMING - 10.2k (found it after speaking with 4-5 vendors) PSU - Corsair RM650x - 10k (Yet to be ordered, pricing on PSUs has just gone up like crazy) RAM -...

Selling the previous machine is not going to get me much, hence not thinking about it. That option is always open though. Don't wanna reuse the case. 5 yrs with this case is enough, and I don't like it much anymore because of dust/heating issues which may or may not be the case's fault. So a...

Thats something not decided as yet. My hope is, that whatever Gskill I get (3000/3200), should work at "at least" 2400/2833 and the rest will solve itself sooner or later. How off the mark do you think I am ?

Gonna go for this mobo myself this week for a fresh new build. Did a lot of research and this seems to be quite well worth it

I think you are being unfair on MSI. Pro Carbon is one of the best boards in the B350 category. If you want to compare VRMs, here is what to look at (rather than a single post out of 100s of posts on the topic - this would only lead to every single option being ruled out)...

Availability of RAM/Motherboards (or even PSU/Cabinets) is quite pathetic at the moment and pricing seems quite high. @Marcus Fenix why did you pick the MSI X370 Pro Carbon ? Why not the B350 version of the same or other X370s?

Guys, any suggestions?

Narrowed motherboard preferences to: 1. MSI B350 Gaming Pro Carbon 2. Asus B350-F ROG STRIX But can't find the first two in India. Any places you know of who may have it. If not the above, then will probably get the Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3. Choosing these for the following reasons: 1. Audio...

Sigh... Didn't want to be THAT guy. Not trying to come off as arrogant. Or Know-it-all. But anyway... At work, so cant view the video currently... But I would like to contribute a few links as well on the point of RAM speed. Its not about specs, to reiterate... its about performance-price...

Every review suggest BIOS update is pretty straight forward. I am quoting 3rd parties because I myself havent done it

Exactly, Prime has no prices on display. And getting price quotes from them over the phone is a pain, if you want to know market options (like 5 or 7 prices) rather than 1 specific component. And going to LR in the hopes to find something (which you will in all likelihood, but why take a chance)...
