You are high, system restore isn't even close to a last option, more like a 2nd or 3rd option.

lol whatever buddy, reinstalling windows is like changing the motor of a car that doesn't start. OP must do everything he can before formatting.

Last option would be a system restore-

Code 28 on all 4 of those devices. Also they are duplicated cuz I only have one mouse and one keyboard. Unknown device is keyboard.

that code refers to missing drivers so totally unrelated to my issue.
Try installing drivers manually, download the latest one from the manufacturer and use the "update driver" option under properties, select the downloaded folder > ok.

Do not use the setup that came with the drivers.

All the ports say they are working. The only issue the device manager shows is this. 

what error are you getting under properties?

Overclocking is largely dependent on silicon lottery. Sure, a good mb helps but not as much. The difference is negligible, maybe 50 Mhz.

If you need the extra features such as rgb headers and aesthetics then go ahead.

I will try this but will be very difficult as I can only use a keyboard for input.

I know it took me a while to navigate through the menus, but it should work.

BTW, try deleting the upper and lower filters, then restart. Windows will install the generic drivers.

I like Asus better, but he MSI z370 PRO CARBON AC looks nice.

I had a similar case with my own computer, suddenly no usb ports would work, except 2.0 ports. What I did was to manually remove all registry entries associated to usb:

-Open device manager, find the ports that dont work > right click > properties then write down the error code.

-If you get error code 19,31,32,37,39 or 41 then do this https://www.repairwin.com/fix-usb-error-code-39-usb-not-working-error/

I would say first uninstall drivers, then delete registry entries> restart

This mining craze is a big bubble. This is what will happen:

-Crypto market crashes

-Tons of used cards will flood the market

-Next gen cards will be out by then, so no one will buy old cards except for budget builds

We should not worry about the gpu market, but the memory market. 

RAM prices keep rising and this has been going on for almost 2 years now. Expensive flash = expensive gpus, SSDs and RAM. Some people even suggest that phone prices will rise as well this 2018.

That kind of bsod is pretty normal when unplugging devices in use. No need to worry.

are you using static or dynamic IP? if you are using dynamic then try refreshing your IP.
the problem with dynamic IPs is that if they get blocked somewhere, the next "owner" will be locked out of that content as well.

Like you said, the new type-c with PD is a bit tricky. Id said don't risk it. Most manufacturers make their chargers specifically for their devices and their devices only. That being said, try getting some aftermarket charger that support many standards. For example this:

Before returning your card, check your temps. You computer might be overheating.

it depends on your temps AND the silicon lottery. The truth is no one knows for sure. Even if you had a killer watercooling system, a chip can only be overclocked so much.

cloud II works just fine on pc and consoles. I tested it on the ps4 and ps3, It should work just fine on xbox as well.

a soft,  thick mouse pad will help to alleviate the carpal tunnel syndrome. I've been using a memory foam mouse pad for 10 years. I have not had a single issue since then.
 

pros:

-rgb

-metal frame

-media features

-macro keys

cons:

-expensive

-mx speed switches could be too sensitive

this one is 25cm, about ~10in. I have yet to see smaller cables.

technically not a cable but a dongle, this is small enough I think.

there was a beta version for mac, but i cant find it anywhere atm

What's that?  I never use the Windows key with Windows 10, and I know a lot of people have concerns about that when using one of these adapters.

basically if you press multiple keys at once and keep them pressed, you should see the correct output on display. Some older and low end keyboards have only 3-6 key rollover. You have to make sure your keyboard has n-key rollover if you want to game with it.

Btw, does the Corsair k70/k95 work on a MacBook Pro? Are there any mechanical keyboards which are compatible for Mac?

the keyboard works on mac, but you need corsair's cue software for RGB effects. 

I could tell you at least 5 things that could be causing your problem.
-thick walls

-other AP interference

-too many devices at once

-low power output

-bad AP placement

You need to troubleshoot each and every one. First make sure your AP(wireless router) is high enough, like on a table or even higher(and away from walls).Set all the antennas completely vertical.

Log into your device  configuration portal and make sure the output power is at 100%.Try different modes such as b/g only or b/g/n, see if that makes a difference.

Review how many devices are active and make sure you own all of them(someone else could be using your wifi).

Finally download Acrylic and scan all the networks, check the channels they are using and set your SSID channel to a different one.

If everything fails then you might need a wifi extender.
