Guys help, please!!!
My pc detects my 360 controller, and the drivers are up to date. However, Steam doesn't detect my controller. Not too mention, I already turned off the Xbox game bar and the DVR portion.
Maybe Steam needs an update? Was it working before or are you just trying it for first time?

I found the solution, you need a wireless adapter to use your 360 wireless controller. You can't use the "Play & Charge Kit" cable to play on pc, however I got my PS4 controller to work fine after installing DS4.

oh yeah, i think that adapter was like 50 bucks if i'm thinking of the right one. I should've thought of that cuz my x1 controller didn't work so i had to get the updated version with a different port. I'll have to look into that DS4 thing myself.

Guys, why is my internet going slow on my pc? When I test my speeds, I easily get 40+ MBPS when I'm not downloading anything.

My specs:
ROG Strix B-450 Gaming motherboard
Ryzen 2700x cpu
16 GB DDR4 Ram
RTX 2080 Ti
Samsung 1TB SSD

EDIT:
It's Steam, it throttles my internet when I'm downloading.

This is for gaming or more? If just gaming i'd say you can get a cheaper CPU and drop down to 16gb ram

I'd say 70% Gaming...

Other than gaming and MS Office the only other intensive programs I'll be running is Adobe suite (Photoshop and Premiere Pro)...

Why such a small ssd? Get an nvme drive for your games and apps. The prices have fallen significantly.
