Is it still 300mHZ running games? If you have balanced mode for power, your PC may underclock your CPU and GPU to save power.

If you are only using the system in 2 - 3 day intervals, it would probably help to turn it off, especially if you are running an overclock on your cpu or gpu. But if you use it every day, you might want to experiment putting the system into sleep mode to see if that turns off the fans and pump. That way the system wouldn't shut down, and the fans and pump could still be off when your not using it. Also, if your computer has it, a hibernation is another form of sleep that is closer to fully turning off the system, but still doesn't completely turn it off and might be better for your use case. 

If I had to guess I'd say the amd r9 280x, but I can't tell for sure. I'm almost positive it's an amd r9 2xx or 3xx card.

I've heard very good things about the shure se-215, but if I were you, I would try to get a used pair of Sennheiser IE80's off eBay. I got a pair for $80 and they sound miles better than any headphone / earbuds I have ever tried, regardless of the price point. (the msrp for them is $450). There is some risk in getting them used, like for mine I had to get a new cable because the OEM one had a tear in it, but that was only another $8. 

AMD Ryzen 3, 5, and 7 comparison. Similar to what you did for the intel core i3 i5 and i7. (A new version of that video is long overdue anyways, since people still haven't learned that they don't need a 7700k if they're just gonna game on the system.

From my experience, all Intel stock heatsinks come with thermal paste pre-applied, and it would make sense to me for it to come pre-applied on there as well. (You definitely need to have thermal paste between the cpu and heatsink, if that's what you were asking). It might be good to get a tube of the stuff anyways for future builds or if you decide to upgrade the cpu cooler later down the road.

Still anyone with half a brain will understand that this is a scam, but they're showing for gtx 1070 and 1080's too. This to me just doesn't make any sense how they could dream of getting someone to buy it and think it's real under $100. It's whatever I guess, still very strange though

It should.  If it doesn't, you may need to download a more recent version of Win 10, that includes the Ryzen drivers.
 
You can do that with Microsoft's download tool for win 10.

Yeah but consoles are even better than steam machines... Those things just make me gag.

Ok thanks! I think i know all i need to for configuring the system!

Would you recommend Amahi for someone like me who wouldn't even be using the system with a monitor 99% of the time? Can Amahi allow the system to be configured remotely, because i think free nas can and i really like that.

This is no super slow ssd, 550 read and 500 write, no cheap ssd here

i would want it to be a stand alone small system in the same closet with my router. That way my main pc doesn't have to be running all the time. I would probably use it for storing movies and stuff like that to move it easily between devices instead of something like a usb drive. It would also be used as a mass storage for devices that don't have that much storage to begin with, like my laptop with only a 128 gb ssd

Dell XPS 13 which is thin, light laptop with a high resolution with touch screen, i7, 8gb of ram and 256gb of ssd storage. Budget approx 1499.

Most all video editing programs run on mac, but being able to build the pc helps a lot with performance with whatever you are doing. Mac for the compatibility. Windows for the performance.

i know right? It has 256 mb of vram
