Okay so it didn't work out. Still booting up on the second monitor but at least I'm able to just drag it to the main monitor.

Just gave this a shot now and rebooted, stayed on the main display. We'll see if this one holds out. Thanks for the suggestion. Something to consider if dragging the taskbar over doesn't hold out. It is just a random/old adapter I found laying around that got the job done since this old monitor...

Just to follow up, I confirmed that the BIOS info is showing up on the main monitor at startup and to confirm, this one is also checked off as "make this my main display" in the settings. Yet still, the taskbar icons are showing up on the secondary monitor. Another random yet interesting thing I...

The checkbox is not changing. It always says monitor 1 is the main display even when those taskbar icons switch monitors. I'll check out the ports and BIOS logo. Thanks for the reply.

I have a new desktop running Windows 10 with a dual monitor setup and the taskbar was displaying on both monitors. Monitor 1 is set as the main and only that monitor has the icons on the right of the taskbar like internet, sound, date/clock, notifications. One day it randomly loaded up and the...

Thanks for the reply pavel. I did end up going with that MSI.

I was able to pick up a new 3060 last week off EVGA's website.

Came across a deal on a Corsair RM750 so I think I'm going with that one. Looks like it comes with the extra connector and in the end it will cost me $70.

- So far I have an i5-12400F and EVGA RTX 3060 XC. Planning on a 1tb m.2 and 16gb ddr4 3200mhz. I was considering the Gigabyte B660M DS3H but after some research now leaning towards this MSI Pro. Most reviews I found for B660M put ASRock and Gigabyte (DS3H) at the bottom and MSI Pro was...

Considering the MSI PRO B660M-A DDR4 Micro ATX but when putting a build together on parts picker it comes up with a potential issue. Not sure how to determine if it will actually be an issue let alone if I can resolve it. Here's the following compatibility note I'm getting: The MSI PRO B660M-A...

Okay, so I ordered the 12400F for $169 last night. On to the mobo. Originally considered Gigabyte DS3H for $120 but now leaning MSI Pro for $140 after some research. As for the MSI mortar and Gigabyte aorus - any reason I should consider them for my build or no need to pay the extra $40 as I'm...

Yes, US shopper and I do have a Micro Center in my state. Never knew it though so I have never shopped there and could benefit from that $50 discount. Is this only in store? I have been researching the past couple days and had a good idea on all parts for my build going with the I5 but perhaps...

Thanks for following up in this thread!

Hey thanks for the reply. No budget set but I'm trying to stay on the low/moderate end for this one. I will not bring over any parts from an old PC. I play games like Tarkov, New World, and various cheaper games on Steam (enjoy trying random pc games having recently come over from console)...

New to PC gaming, want to build my first pc, and just recently purchased an EVGA RTX 3060. Looking for some advice on the rest of the parts to complete this build. With high prices and limited stock I was waiting to obtain a GPU first so I don't have any other parts yet. Got one quicker than I...

You're right, always good to weigh the options and I appreciate all the feedback everyone. Last thing, what would be the proper section in the forum to start a post for other part suggestions on the build? I don't want to start threads in each section like mobo, cpu, etc but didn't see a build...

Okay, just ordered an EVGA 3060 XC Gaming for $429. They are in stock right now on EVGA website.

Fair enough, I'll pick up a 3060 when I find one for a good price. Thanks everyone.

Okay thanks.... I did see the 3060 $429 price tag on their website but didn't know if it ever comes in stock. I'll keep an eye out for that one too. Actually, one question about that. The EVGA website has 2 3060's, one is $399. What's the difference?

Okay, so a 3050 would be good enough for me. I saw one last night for $379 but wasn't sure so passed on it. I was being told to look for 3060/3060ti or 3070 but they are bit more than I want to spend with the marked up prices.

I play Escape From Tarkov, New World, Valheim and mostly random "cheaper" games from Steam. Just been enjoying playing these PC exclusive indie or whatever you would call lower tier games. Maybe some Minecraft and random Xbox games occasionally since we have the PC Game Pass, but usually stick...

New to PC gaming, first build, what GPU's should I be looking at to get 60fps at 1080? Not looking to break the bank, just want a decent first build for my son and I that can maintain 60fps. Just recently decided to build one so no parts were purchased yet but would like to go with Intel and...

The article provides a link to the exclusions and gpus are this one: 108) Printed circuit assemblies for rendering images onto computer screens (“graphics processing modules”) (described in statistical reporting number 8473.30.1180)

So is there basically no chance of catching a 3070 for $499 on Best Buy? They won't be coming back in stock?

I hope you're right. Looking to build my first PC in the coming months and want to get a 3070 at MSRP.
