Q: Do I have a virus?!
A: If you didn't click a sketchy email, haven't left your computer physically open to attack, haven't downloaded anything sketchy/free, know that your software hasn't been exploited in a new hack, then the answer is: probably not.

 

Q: What email/VPN should I use?
A: Proton mail and VPN are the best for email and VPNs respectively. (They're free in a good way)

 

Q: How can I stay anonymous on the (deep/dark) webzz???....

A: By learning how to de-anonymize everyone else; if you can do that, then you know what to do for yourself.

 

Q: What Linux distro is best for x y z?

A: Lubuntu for things with little processing power, Ubuntu for normal PCs, and if you need to do anything else then it's best if you do the research yourself.

 

Q: Why is my Linux giving me x y z error?

A: Have you not googled it? Are you sure StackOverflow doesn't have an answer? Does the error tell you what's wrong? If the answer is no to all of those, message me.

No. Mine doesn't. 

 

Now replace that 390X with a 295x2 and then you'll have a problem.

I think things should be fine except for the GPU. The GPU will give off a lot of heat.

So am I riding the edge?

Don't see why it would, but you could always buy an aftermarket cooler for the cpu. I'd go for intake on the single fan and have passive exhaust in that case.

Will the stock hold well enough?  Or is an aftermarket cooler absolutely necessary?

Ok, that's not too much of a problem for me.

A reference cooler may be better in such a tight space for removing heat. I think linus did a video about that, not sure.

He didn't do one really about this kind of thing.  What the best card I can get in rear exhaust design at $370? I found 670s for $80 a piece on a side note

It would be but the 390 doesn't come in reference styles.

The 390 is still your best performance per dollar and I don't think having an open designed cooler on the GPU will hurt you heat-wise. The 390s have very good coolers and with the way the GPU is oriented, it still draws air from the outside of the case. Which is why I said put the front fan in as an intake, so that the CPU also gets fresh air.
