I would definitely take a closer look at some of the builds above. The GPU you've chosen isn't particularly a good buy. Something like a 6700XT would be better in that price range. I would personally switch to an AM5 CPU/Mobo combo (Microcenter has deals if you're close), something like a R7 7700/B650 combo. That would allow you to get a better GPU.

Good. With an x3d CPU, CL isn't as big a part so 30 or 36 is just fine

Hope you do too! No offense taken from your excellent post. Sometimes folks aren't interested in that much info and they are just making sure nothing is broken. But there ain't nothing wrong with sharing the information for the edification of everyone reading it.

Banned because there is rules on how to do it

I am trying to install Arch Linux with Systemd-boot. Even worse, I am trying it with a XBOOTLDR partition and maybe chain loading it with GRUB. For those who don't know what XBOOTLDR is, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/systemd-boot#Installation_using_XBOOTLDR So, I have a /ESP folder mounted as my EFI partition, a /boot folder mounted as my XBOOTLDR partition, where my Kernel(s) reside. When making this partition, in cfdisk, I chose the type as Linux extended boot. I am pretty sure XBOOTLDR means Linux extended boot, and even the GUID matches which is listed on the ArchWiki. And I also formatted it as ext4 and not FAT32. I don't think that should be a problem because my UEFI doesn't have to do anything with that partition but idk if bootctl supports ext4 but I heard that it does. So at the last I ran "bootctl --esp-path=/ESP/ --boot-path=/boot/ install". I then modified ESP/loader/loader.conf as - Now, the Wiki says that there are 2 places systemd searches for boot entries. In the ESP/loader/entries/*.conf and IF using XBOOTLDR, additionally it will check in /boot/loader/entries/*.conf. So I first created the arch.conf file in the /boot/... directory because I was using XBOOTLDR. It looked like - Of course with the correct UUID of my root partition I got from genfstab. I will configure my fallback initramfs and intel microcode once I actually get this thing running. But after reboot, I didn't see the entry for my Arch Linux. After a while of troubleshooting, in which I tried making another copy of arch.conf in my ESP directory inside, but later deleted it, and I tried giving the UUID of XBOOTLDR partition but still got nothing. Right now, "bootctl list", seems to detect my Kernel and my config file but I still do not see it in the boot menu.

While playing the game, I am using Discord voice chat in the background. At seemingly random times, the Discord application will crash in the background. After that point, any attempt to minimize or close out of the game application will cause the computer to completely freeze up, requiring a power cycle un-freeze. This happens within minutes every time I play Helldivers and occasionally (once every 2-4 hours) during Hunt: Showdown. I tried multiple troubleshooting steps including updating the motherboard BIOS, updating the Graphics driver, disabling EXPO, resetting BIOS to default, reinstalling the entire operating system, reinstalling just the game, checking the CPU and GPU temperature, re-seating the CPU, GPU and RAM. PC ran fine since 2022 with no issue Swapping to my old Intel Core i7-8700K on Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master yields no crashing issues. Swapping to my old GTX 970 does not help, game still crashes.

Oh ok thank you

pricing? and what specific mobos? if its a trash lowend b660 vs a midranger b450 then the b450 would be better assuming amd is cheaper go for am4 but instead of a 3700x look for a 3600(x) or 5600(x) instead, singlethread wont be as good as the 12100 but for games thatll use more than 4 cores even the 3600 may pull ahead heres a comparison which has the 3600 5600x 12100 and 12400

Banned because it's not against the rules is it?

Check for a bad ram module by testing each of the new ones separately.

Former is more likely if you want me to choose

Banned for banning me for the same reason as multiple other people before.

Nimetön video – Tehty Clipchampilla.mp4 These artifacts appear on my second monitor when playing and then pressing windows key. I have only seen these artifacts when watching youtube or watching streams and playing at the same time. I'm spamming my windows key in this video to have those artifacts show up. I have tried reinstalling my drivers, reseating gpu but nothing has worked. Specs: Cpu: Ryzen 5 3600 Gpu: Rx 6950xt First monitor: Aoc q27g3xmn Second monitor: Acer ka240y Ram: hyperx 16gb 3200mhz Psu: Seasonic vertex 850w gold.

Sounds like something from an ElectroBOOM video

the certifications means almost nothing in terms of actual hdr viewing experience, the cheapest monitor that has decent hdr is the aoc q27g3xmn https://www.amazon.com/AOC-Q27G3XMN-Adaptive-Sync-DisplayHDR-Zero-Bright-dot/dp/B0C8ZJKPWC/ref=sr_1_3?crid=IIXN6RVJ1V8T&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.EQ1xftwKmBxo18z0HwdFMdimCbJnXBS0DIzkaUZdk2w7F8Ym1Rx0Njw1Pj4Lia1dkvZ4hZkL_vJSPBq-Bc-g7-T2vyGh6GTzq8NdnGsqeSqKYGvotkqM6ZcBuI_PZuaYpxrVfVje8xhvviSsgR_LEnwgJiuWbKDVN_R8Qm5m_cvpYzXXkUpj6soYpQAfsE9MMiDuFA0-n-AUZXf__FPuX3FSG_K3tNCF32pf38toSeQ.vmCIMbOz58Rdu4DkimXQI1baE2RMOX4DrBkkL8JQXE8&dib_tag=se&keywords=aoc+mini+led+monitor&qid=1714149887&sprefix=aoc+mini+led+monitor%2Caps%2C137&sr=8-3 next one up is the ktc M27P20 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BG3XZFY7/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_6?smid=A1HMEUY6L6RX3B&th=1

That's a budget for a good 1440p high refresh rate monitor, but your GPU would not really be good for 1440p. That Koorui or even some of the cheaper ones would do similar job as XL2411 - https://pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#r=192001080&D=150000,540000&P=2,7,9&sort=price&page=1 Even the cheapest MSI G244F should be decent.

Could get a faster CPU like 5700X ($180), 8 cores to 6 and faster Your board isn't great (AMD A boards should be avoided) hope it won't kneecap the CPU

Honestly, Id say get the 12100f with the b660, since the performance difference from a 12100f and a 3700x is not that big, even if the 3700x has more cores. You can upgrade to something like a 13700kf in the future, which is a lot better than a 5800x3d. The b660 board will also have a lot better features than the b450 board, such as pcie 4.0.
