  1. You should be looking for something like 3600mhz CL16 or higher especially for your budget
  2. Faster ram if possible but thats all I see. I dont like the cooler but I don't know the prices in the EU
  3. that case looks like a dust nightmare. but the stock cooler for the R5 3600 should be good enough.
  4. Well allot of boards have wifi and Bluetooth that are cheaper https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-i7-9750H-GeForce-Backlit-Keyboard/dp/B081PZTZ4B/ref=sr_1_8?crid=15B5MGO2YLKPS&dchild=1&keywords=b550+wifi&qid=1628701590&sprefix=B550%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-8 Aslo on Thursdays you can usually pick up GPU's for MSRP at Best Buy I used this discord to get mine it told me when stuff was in stock https://discord.gg/gpu
  5. you should get better ram 2400 speed is low for an AMD APU also your motherboard is overpriced for the level of parts you have. also if you dont plan on having a GPU you should look for a smaller form factor case and motherboard.
  6. um in certain use cases it could be good but its just a money grab in my opinion.
  7. I would power off and try to boot into safe mode and get what you need if you can and just reinstall windows.
  8. Yes and no If a program is in the middle of a process an abrupt shutdowns could cause a corrupt file but its fairly rare for that to happen.
  9. Mail in rebates have nothing to do with the RMA process. Rebates typically are given to retailers as incentives to sell items and so they are handled at the retail level. RMA are at a Manufacture level and are separate from any type of RMA or return request. Also most company's wait till the return period is over to give out the rebate so people do not just buy something collect the rebate and then return the Item and keep the rebate money.
  10. Why didnt they give you an RTX 3070 option? Also paying $800 for an out dated card is a bad idea your better off taking the 2070 and flipping it and using the $800 on a 3070 or 3080
  11. I have been using these everyday for almost a year and I still love them https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085NPCQLT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. The sound is good, they are comfortable, and the noise cancelation works well. The battery life on them is decent depending on if you have noise cancelation on or off. I use mine at work and usually get 5-8 hrs of use per charge and they charge very fast. Also I use mine about 8 hrs or more a day I always seem to have at least one in listing to music or a twitch stream. I have used several different Ipods, beats, and Bose and these are comparable to the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds for a 5th the price.
  12. MSI RGB software is utter garbage and If I could return my RTX 3080ti trio for one from another manufacture I would.
  13. Red and green always reminds me of Christmas and the mod turns the green to white https://www.pcgamer.com/how-to-remove-the-green-from-the-lit-geforce-logo-on-your-nvidia-graphics-card/
  14. the only other thing I can think of is trying it in another PC, but it sounds like the fans may have died and the unit overheated it.
  15. what about different power supply wires to your GPU?
  16. have you tried putting the card in another slot or using a different port on the GPU
  17. Did you check your cables and monitor/ monitor settings?
  18. Well if you plan on using the corsair block and case I would stick to the corsair Eco system and get Corsair ram as well. Also corsair tubing is very nice also there fitting are decent but Barrow fittings at Performance PC are much cheaper and do the same job. My opinion on parts Ram- https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Memory/Vengeance-PRO-RGB-Black/p/CMW32GX4M4D3600C16 Fans- https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Fans/RGB-%26-LED-Fans/iCUE-SP-Series-RGB-PRO-Performance/p/CO-9050094-WW Radiator x1- https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Custom-Cooling/Radiators/hydro-x-xr5-config/p/CX-9030003-WW Tubing x2- https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Custom-Cooling/Tubing/hydro-x-hardline-tubing-config/p/CX-9059005-WW Reservoir/pump combohttps://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Custom-Cooling/Pump-Reservoir/Hydro-X-Series-XD5-RGB-Pump-Reservoir-Combo/p/CX-9040006-WW or https://www.performance-pcs.com/water-cooling/reservoirs/channelz-corsair-5000x-side-mounted-single-d5-reservoir.html Fittings- x6 https://www.performance-pcs.com/water-cooling/fittings-connectors/barrow-compression-fitting-14mm-od-rigid-tubing-matte-black.html and https://www.performance-pcs.com/water-cooling/fittings-connectors/corsair-hydro-x-series-90-rotary-adapter-twin-pack-black-cx-9055009-ww.html Tools- https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Custom-Cooling/Accessories/Hydro-X-Series-XT-Hardline-Bending-Toolkit-(12mm-%26-14mm)/p/CX-9059007-WW Staying with the corsair eco system will make the RGB play well together all the rest of the components you have look fine. The GPU that you picked out I dont think has a water block available if you ever wanted to add that to your system. My build log with allot of the parts linked ( its not finished but its close)
  19. You need to have an Idea on what you want the build to look like. You need to decide color, size , and ease of the build.
  20. Are you planning on water-cooling the GPU? What size case are you planning on useing? Are you new to water-cooling? Also the purpose to custom cooling to go over the top so a 3090 would be something to look for. I just built a hard lined PC and when shopping for GPUs surched for 3080,3080ti and 3090 and went with the one that was in stock at MSRP.
  21. With out having context on what the budget and use case for the computer it is hard to decide parts. Saying a 3090 is over kill is not true if you plan on doing video editing or something. Also saying no budget means you have the money for exotic water-cooling and overspending on things that are not entirely needed but look good. Also you have a water-cooling CPU block in your parts selection. So does this mean you want to go custom loop or do you plan on using an AIO? When coming up with a plan you need to put what you plan on using the computer for, your budget (not unlimited), and weather you want a bang for the buck system or weather you want to have the power and looks.
