hey i know i asked this before but i forgot what everyone said. does anyone have recommendations for a good portable cassette player purchasable in 2023 without breaking the bank?

hey amd folks, what's the difference between the b650 and x760 chipsets, other than a $60 price differential on the motherboard? i'm wondering if there's any reason one would be worth it over the other

a couple of pc build questions:

- ddr5 ram: is there a meaningful difference between 6000 and 6400 MHz

- is overclocking still a thing that gives practical and noticeable improvements in performance these days or are the added power draw and build stipulations not worth it anymore

- when did case manufacturers decide that wanting more than two usb ports on the case front panel was a trap laid by satan and was never to be entertained

(emerging from the pcpartpicker trenches covered in blood and machine oil) i just want two usb 3 headers on my fucking motherboard. thats all i want

building computers is hard

i wonder if you could put an ibm 5150 motherboard into a modern gaming pc case

(opens my umbrella in preparation for a deluge of gpu opinions)

hey critters, what's the state of things these days as far as gpus? is there a clear advantage between nvidia and amd, what's good value for money, what's better in terms of compatibility and features, etc

i ask because i was looking at getting an rtx 3060 (price ~$240 for reference) but i realized i hadnt looked into any amd chips so im not sure what to compare in terms of power and price point. im a pc building newbert so it's hard for me to sort through the specs to find good deals and stuff
