So I recently moved my AMD R5 1600, Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb RAM and AMD RX 580 from my ITX LAN computer to my full tower at home. However, once I did that I got this weird fault where the Windows loading icon would finish, but the PC would crash before the login screen. Thing is, the system still posts with all components showing in the BIOS. And even more weird after this happens a few times, Windows will load into its error fixing screen on boot! Steps I've tried so far: 1. Re-installed Windows on full tower (twice!) 2. Re-seated RAM, CPU and GPU in full tower 3. Moved RAM, CPU and GPU back to ITX system 4. Tried working RAM from my GF's Intel machine in ITX system 5. Tried my RAM in her machine Both systems (ITX and full tower) very rarely get into Windows but this is less than 1/10 times. I don't think it's the GPU since in the few times Windows loads it runs with an overclock just fine. And since my RAM works in my GF's system and her RAM doesn't work in mine, I'm thinking that it might be the CPU :'( Just wanted to see if anyone agrees with me, or if they've seen anything like this before/can recommend anything else to try before I get the RMA stickers out. Much appreciation!

Hey, I'm currently stuck between two RX 580 4gb cards, the XFX GTS model and the Sapphire Nitro+. I know the Sapphire card should be better but the XFX is around 35eu cheaper. Anyone got any thoughts on which would be better?

that makes a lot of sense, thanks

Should probably say, I'm from Europe :') But probably will go with a Ryzen chip first

do you think a r5 1400 would also be ok? i don't really need the extra 2 cores

Hi guys Was wondering what I should upgrade first. Currently I have: AMD FX 6300 GTX 960 4GB And I want to upgrade to: i5 7600k RX 580 (I have a freesync monitor) I can only afford each upgrade at a time and I'm not sure which one would be best to do. Any advice???
