I think Linus is 4' 5" but it could be the other way around.

I'm quite fortunate that down here most of the time the RMA process is carried out by the retailer which means they check it doesn't work send you a new one assuming of course they have stock then they deal with Asus.

Don't shop there again.

First priority is to replace that PSU. If you still have issues with the system booting after the PSU is repalced we can help then. I have a feeling that whatever issues you're having will resolve themselves with a decent PSU that is actually suitable for your system though.
In the mean time I would probably pull the 1080Ti out of the system and run integrated graphics from your CPU until the replacement PSU arrives.

If you like we can help suggest some units to replace it with. What country are you in? What is your budget for a new PSU? A decent quality 550w unit would be fine for an i5 6600k + 1080Ti.

How are you running a GTX1080Ti with that power supply? According to the info I can find, that power supply only has a single PCIe connector. The GTX1080Ti requires two.

Regardless of what your issue is, that PSU should be replaced ASAP.

I was pretty glad to see pot player make the list.
Edit : I use aimp3 player for audio.

Thanks for the post. I was unable to reset my system date, but I found a workaround and wanted to share for any future viewers. I found that the codes listed in the paste bin above (http://pastebin.com/L3c3rySj) had a pattern. Every month/day combination shares the same last 4 characters. So it's the year that changes the first set of characters, and these characters repeat.
 
For example:
At the password prompt, press alt+r Take note of the date displayed. For me it was 2017-05-11 Use Ctrl+F to search the paste bin for your month and date. I used "-05-11" Use the codes you find until one of them works. Mine was the same code as 2007-05-11 from the paste bin. It looks like the codes might repeat every 10 years. So I would suggest starting with the month and date combination from 10 years prior to whatever date is displayed after you press alt+r.

The Dell P2217H has all the adjustable-ness you will need and it also features a nice IPS screen with eye-care features available (blue light filter + flicker-free). It's at the edge of your budget but I think it is still a very good option for you:

You're not a part of those use-cases? Cool, then move along...nothing is gained by being "edgy" on the interwebz...

I want a working patch for meltdown/spectre and an official apology for the failure from Intel, and an unveiling of an AMD card to properly rival the Titan V in gaming.

Count us in! 
 
I didn't see a firepole last year so that would be a huge improvement! 

Build a better mouse trap and they'll build a better mouse.   

ok so really your boot takes 5 seconds, which is pretty fast.  Nothing really to improve on there imo

No elmer, Windows is not a gender
Nvidia is not a gender either.

Because it's randomly generated.

Adding onto that, did you increase your refresh rate in windows?

And yes, it should be extremely obvious whether you have it set to 60hz or 144hz. 

customer called up a few weeks ago and said "I dropped my wireless mouse on my motherboard while gaming and it turned off and won't turn back on". After asking a bunch of questions I found out that they dropped the mouse on the case of the computer it bounced and knocked the power cable lose

I had heard people refer to the whole PC as a Hard Drive or a CPU but never a motherboard until lthen

You may be able to do some small overclocking using BCLK, but it's not advised as it can mess other things up. The CPU is not unlocked, so it cannot be overclocked via a multiplier. 

Guy on phone: "I want to return the IP camera I bough from you guys yesterday"
Me: "Okay, what's the problem with it?"
Guy on phone: "I can't use remote access with it"
Me: "Okay, have you gone through all the setup?"
Guy on phone: "Yes but it keeps giving a no internet error"
Me: "Do you have your laptop connected to the internet?"
Guy on phone: "No, I don't have any internet at my house"
 

Damn, AMD really has a thing for Linus recently. I wonder how much he paid them.
 
 
Ayyymd

Customer just came in complaining that they upgraded their ram and still couldn't play JC3, the new specs were
Phenom 2 X4 840
HD 6850
16GB RAM...

unless you are Berkel and screw in your board without a standoff your board is very unlikely to bend.
 
I Just went with a Swiftech H240-X because I didn't want a big ass skyscraper on my motherboard in a case with a window.
So unless you want and have the money for water cooling you should just use the Noctua NH-D15

yup, i was looking at my games i have more then playing them, so i decided to go out and get a real life. kinda replaced it with friends and doing stuff,
 
I still play PUBG after work tho
