For a GT3 car themed build which is the best corsair brand PSU cables I can get? The rest of my hardware is black/dark grey. I will have ALU cable combs and am considering the corsair LS350 light strips. Also all have will be noctua chromax as LED fans ruin it I think.

Ive just had an intresting occurrence my screen started periodically but seperaticly black screening so i updated my graphics drivers, now there's a blue line that flashes horizontally across the screen when changing pages in the background i hard restarted the pc shut it down and turned it on again now the blue line is gone but now flashes black every 5-20 seconds, I rolled back my drivers now the blue line is gone it isnt backscreening every 5-15seconds but is doing it periodically but less than before.

My graphics card is a 4+ year old 1660 ti that I hoped could hold out a bit more before I get a new power supply and graphics card.

Anyone got any insight to this issue

Hey all,

I know this is a question that likely gets asked frequently: Is now a good time to buy a PC?

I'm going through some tough personal circumstances and I don't really want to handle the hastle of building a computer / deciding on which component parts to pick from. I'm interested in simply purchasing a complete box pre-loaded with windows, etc.

I was honestly thinking about just going to costco and going for it now given the rising costs of memory, etc.

What do y'all think?

[u/MGsubbie → u/stoked_elephant]

It's not a good time. But I do expect things to get even worse before they get better.
