Is it a good pc ?

Hey guys I’m new to the pc world and I want to get a prebuilt gaming pc for unreal engine mainly I had some choices but I wanted to have opinions on this one. The prices are in Canadian dollar so that’s why they’re higher than usd. What do you guys think ?

Custom pc case

Hey all, I’m designing my own pc case as I can’t find anything I like that’s good quality and looks cool online.

So here’s my custom pc case. Will be fully CNC machined out of aluminium and anodised in silver

Thoughts?

FYI not to scale, currently in the concept stage. There are still some parts of the design I don’t like, but the idea is that everything will be able to slide out the front to make building and maintenance easier.

Is the Intel Core i9 14900KF still an issue?

Just purchased my first gaming pc ever and is arriving sometime next week. After doing some more research I have found many people having issues with the Intel Core i9 14900KF. I wonder if I should return it once it arrives if that cpu is still known to cause many issues. I mainly got this pc dedicated to stream games from consoles and not much serious gaming. Just wanted something to last me at least 5 years before I have to buy a new one.
