    I am SUPER picky about my taskbar. I have nothing in it apart from the little steam icon on the right. I also hate it when people leave default stuff like windows media player and edge in the taskbar. Anyone else?

    Sounds like a great project! Wood won't have as many problems with vibration as metal would since it's a bit softer but some rubber would definitely be a good idea. Maybe add some rubber o-rings on the fan screws too as well as the hard drive mount. Velcro would be good for isolating vibrations as well. Some other things to reduce vibrations are rubber feet and even some foam lining on the inside of the case which will help remove any annoying high frequency sounds.

    You should still be able to run most games at max settings. You'll know when the VRAM is maxed because you'll get big lag spikes (see my video here). The main settings to turn down are the anti-aliasing and textures, they both eat up heaps of VRAM.

    Basically all gaming cards aside from the super high end are either out of stock or extremely overpriced right now. Basically heaps of people are buying several cards each to make their own rigs for ethereum mining. The availability of graphics cards will increase once the price of Bitcoin drops or the GPUs become unable to mine efficiently.

    At this point I'd go with a Ryzen 5 or 7, they have all the threads you need for content creation and are a good price. Anything up from a 1600 you'd be happy with but that depends on how much you're willing to spend. This motherboard is good quality and a good price too, and you don't need to upgrade your PSU, it'd happily support a GTX 970 and even a Ryzen 1800X.

    You will get MUCH better performance with the R5 1600. The i5 isn't very good value. Either a 580 or 1070 will work great with a 1600 but graphics cards are so expensive at the moment it's worth waiting and deciding later.

    It might be the SSD, download SSD Life & see if it's got any problems. If that's not it try re-seating the CPU and trying with a different graphics card if you can.

    This motherboard doesn't have onboard graphics but my R9 270X has been working with it for a few days with no issues. I'll try to test the 1060 in another rig if I can & confirm that it's the issue.

    They're all checked & fine =/

    Nope, everything is stock

    I didn't try only HDMI =/ but I had both ports used and when it did boot I couldn't get it to recognise my HDMI monitor. It would always use my DVI monitor for boot logos and such.

    I recently bought a new ASUS GTX 1060 and MSI Motherboard, and everything worked fine until the other day when I powered on my PC and it put out a signal, but got stuck right before posting with a little 99 in the bottom right of the screen. I reset the CMOS, re-seated the GPU and RAM and unplugged everything unnecessary. That got it to boot a few more times, but eventually it wouldn't boot no matter what. I swapped in my R9 270X and it's been working fine but I'm unsure if it is actually the GPU since it still gives a signal. Any thoughts? Other specs: AMD FX 6300 CPU 8GB DDR3 RAM 750W EVGA PSU

    That's a good system, everything goes together well but you'll probably need to upgrade your RAM at some point so keep that in mind.

    It just looks like the plastic is in the way for some reason. Try taking the plastic cover off the card and using some heat bend it back a little bit.

    If the fan bearing is wobbly then you probably need to use its warranty (if you still have one) or replace the fans/plastic shroud. Otherwise, take the cooler off and have a look at the middle fan's mounts, they've probably been bent a bit. See if you can find any bent or out of place plastic, heat it up with a hair dryer and try to bend it back into place gently. Have you dropped the card or put pressure on the fan at all?
