New Digital Storm member - Order Progress

Hello All!

After a few days of searching online for a company to build a new gaming pc for New World and a few other games, I decided to purchase from DS. I originally ordered from Cyberpower but after I called and had a couple of questions and wanted to upgrade my order I decided to cancel my order. Their cs rep was one of the rudest people I've ever dealt with.

So here I am. My second choice but you guys should have been my first. I'm sorry Please forgive me!!!!!

An M.2 NVMe drive like the Firecuda or the Samsung 980 will do just as the man says. You have a much slower SATA drive selected there. Put the 860 EVO at Storage Set2.

We don't recommend overclocking these procs. The turbo feature is always available, and gets you where you need to go. Overclocking just means your CPU is overworking all the time for no purpose unless you are always using productivity apps. If that were the case, you should have gotten an AMD 5900X with more cores and threads.

The "disable and tweak" to Windows is a total waste of money. There will be no difference in performance at all. It's a throwback to when RAM was very expensive, and Windows used more than its share of the small amount you could get.

Originally posted by tfg1955 If you can afford it, changing your M.2 drive to a Firecuda would speed things up dramatically. And at least a 3060ti or 3070 gpu. With everything else you have picked, this would really help out!

Thx sir
