This is a Joke,Right?

ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII DARK HERO X570 5800X/RX6700XT In mine, works like a dream, Quality everything,

Currently running 2 Cyberpower 1500AVR's.Had them for a few years now,just replaced 1 battery a year or so ago. They are used to allow enough time to shut down safely,Even have the Modem plugged in so the internet stays up. Have come in handy numerous times over the years due to power outages.Highly recommend. Bought mine on a good sale years ago,I think they only cost me like $120 Cdn ea when I got them. These would be the replacements for mine: CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD

You will be fine with either way, Personally I would take the AX1000 for more headroom. AX1000 Review HX850 Review

Manually do it. AMD Drivers

Best store I have ever dealt with for years(and always buy the IPR warranty): https://www.memoryexpress.com/ he will have to drive into Hamilton though

It does not say it is not returnable on the Website, you always have 15 days. What does the receipt say? And If you live on modest means,what are you doing buying a $700+ CPU?

I only use higher end ASUS boards,but do see a lot of people out there recommend this one: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/b450-tomahawk-max I had great luck with the ASUS TUF boards on my last FX990 boards: https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/TUF-B450-PLUS-GAMING/

Ouch!! I would dump that Mobo for a better one. At minimum a B450 for those components,and a better brand.

Just a quick run to compare for you!!

ASUS STRIX 5700XT OC no driver issues since I installed it in Nov.Works like a champ.

Running the ASUS STRIX RX5700XT OC with a 2700X and runs like a champ.no driver issues whatsoever, and am extremely happy with them both.I have had 0 black screens and 0 crashes,plays everything I play with no problems,all benchmarks I have done are stable and great.My complete system specs are below. Wouldn't change it for anything. I haven't played to many AAA games lately,but everything I have played has been flawless.

After almost 20 years exclusively using AMD GPU's,I have had very few,if any driver issues,last year I built a new Ryzen system with a RX580 and then updated to the ASUS RX5700XT OC,I have had 0 driver issues,no crashes or black screens.I have never used or needed DDU or any other driver cleaner,I have always just used the AMD uninstaller with each driver update. I have been reading up on all the issues others are having and am at a loss as to what the issues they are having are caused by,Because not everyone is having these issues. My 5700XT even has the "too short cooler screw"issue,yet my temps are great.

Ah,but he might,I am running Corsair RGB Vengence RGB Pro 3200 Timing 16-18-18-36.However Mine are B dies and are running 14-13-13-28 timings.these can come with both hynix and samsungs as well
