A breif heads up for the Pc gaming and custom PC build community! We are currently seeing large waves of stocking issues, AM4 Mobos, Ryzen 9 Gen 3 CPU,
AOI Cooling Units and some Power supplies. However, we are still currently able to aquire intel parts in the 2011-v3 and 115x socket regions. It could be

In other news, Microsoft's latest features updates has been causing a number of devices without adequate storage to fail during installation. This results in the startup also failing and the user is no longer to boot the device into Windows. One possible way to determine this can be attempting to power on the device. If during this process the screen appears black for a period then flashed "boot device not found" then you have fallen victum to this issue. At this point, an individual would now need to take the device to a trusted repair for repairs. Fortunatly, you have the choice to optionally download and install this feature. We are suggesting an individual read all the update notes prior to installing in order to prepare the system correctly. If you are ever unsure then always contact a professional.
