I will do this and thanks for your reply. It is much appreciated.

After eight years I am in the process of putting together a new Ryzen 3rd Gen system. I have all the parts except monitor and video card. I have been well aware of the issues concerning the 5700 cards but since the release of the Adrenalin 20.2.2 these issues have been resolved for many owners...

Yes, I used that tool. And, yes, I did my security scans plus CCleaner. From what I have read this upgrade can only be one once and if you go back to 7 but then try to upgrade to 10 again it won't work; anyway that is what I read. I am very tempted to do a reformat and load Linux Mint 19.3...

My Lenovo laptop came pre-installed with Windows 7 64 when I bought it a few years ago. It was fully updated, etc. when I upgraded to Windows 10 last week without issue. But MS is saying that it needs to be activated and is not genuine. Honestly, I am stumped because two other laptops and two...

I really could use some sound advice and/or direction. Here is my issue... Since yesterday morning I have noticed that websites take an inordinate amount of time to load including my homepage. For example my mail page will hang as I wait to access, League of Legends is unplayable, Youtube...

Who told you it was okay to run without the heatsink and fan? Until you get the one you ordered use the one that came with your processor. Whoever told you that advice was very wrong. When I build a system I lay my motherboard out on the anti-static bag and the first thing I do is install the...

You can put both your hard drive and your SSD on the same cable. As Voyagerfan99 rightly points out they are your SATA power cables that run from your power supply to your drives. Your motherboard should supply your motherboard SATA cables for the transfer of data between your motherboard and...

Do you have any friends or family members who can build you one? For your budget you can build a great system if you buy it in parts and save money as you do so. This community has a number of regular contributors who can help you in picking the right hardware.

By all means install your OS to your SSD and use your hard drive for your games.

Zusy, what exactly do you want to do with your new system? In other words, besides gaming what do want this system to be able to do for you? Second, have you ever overclocked before?

I believe he was looking at the Storm Scout 2. They have improved on a number of features including cable management. The only drawback I see is that if I have read correctly they only supply one case fan. Otherwise it is very solid.

That Storm Scout will be a good case to meet your needs. It has a removable HDD cage to allow you to install your video card. Excellent choice on your power supply. It will give you all you need. From everything I see it should work. Just make sure that you double check your memory...

I just built a system using the HAF 912. Its the "little brother" in the HAF series. However, I have built systems with the 922 and 932 and the 922 will give you much more room especially with the size of the video cards you are considering. Storm Scout is a great option; you can't go wrong...

That processor is designed for overclocking; it is "unlocked" as the saying goes. If you want to save some money a processor that isn't designed for ocing and yet just as powerful. I don't think you can go wrong but both those boards offer a TON of options. The question is will you use...

Will you be doing any overclocking?

As per Gigabyte that board will only support DDR4 so the RAM you list will not work. I agree with tylerjrb about saving money by going i5 and a similar board. The i5 works very well for gaming rigs. There are two questions that need to be asked and answered when doing a build and both are...

Thanks for the reply. Right now I have the build down to $542.00 and this doesn't include the three coupons that I can apply which will bring it down to $516.00. If I go with the WD Blue hard drive I'll bring it to just under $500. I get free shipping on all items and the only thing I have to...

I am building a new system for my mom to replace her current one that is 8+ years old and sporadically failing. Both my mom and dad have their own respective online businesses and they are very dependent on their PC. She needs it to do the following every day: MS Office, email (mostly for...

Just wanted to give you guys an update. I did RMA the board and Gigabyte eventually returned said board. The only paper work that came back said repair with nothing else. So I guess they realized it was the USB ports after all. Put board back in and all is going well. Thanks for all your...

The problem was there was no custom install because there was no given options. It was CPU-Z freeware and it came with Mysearchdial without any option given to allow or disallow. And as I said I scanned the executible before installing with both MSE and Malwarebytes and both said it was clean...
