  1. Greetings good peopleI have an MSI 1080Ti GamingX 11Gb on an older system, with an AMD FX-8350 on a Gigabyte 970A-D3 motherboard with 16Gb DDR3 @ 1600, and a 128Gb SanDisk SSD with Windows 10 x64 and a Corsair 750W RM750 80 PLUS Gold PSU. Since I installed the new GPU (upgraded from an MSI GTX780Ti) I have these strange issues and I am not really sure if the GPU is to blame or the general setup (drivers/windows etc)1. Sometimes Chrome seems to freeze for a moment, and then kinda "breaks", meaning that the Chrome window turns to blue (old windows style blue) and the tabs are fuzzy and mixed up. If I restart Chrome then the problem is gone.2. Same thing as above happens on Thunderbird too.3. I have also faced random monitor black-outs, when both monitors go black for a moment, then return to the desktop with no problem4. I, at some point, have seen random screen artifacts (black dots) on right click menus and on different app window menus (which I haven't faced again after some driver updates at some point) 5. Lastly I have faced BSOD with an "VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR" stop codeThe strange thing is that when I play games or when I'm editing video/images with the Adobe software, I don't have any issues whatsoever, and the general gaming performance is as expected. Just to clarify, I haven't had these issues on the MSI GTX780Ti.Just downloaded the latest NVIDIA driver (388.43) but I expect to see these problems again since I've been updating the GPU drivers as soon as they appear. On a side note, I have just upgraded to a Ryzen 7 1700 on an MSI X370 Gaming Plus motherboard and with Corsair Vengeance LED 16GB DDR4-3200MHz, but haven't received all parts to build the new PC yet. I'm just hoping that I won't face these problems on the new clean setup.Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Should I try to test the GPU somehow or should I RMA it?Thanks in advance
  2. Hello dear people I wanted to ask your opinion on my planned PC upgrade. I want to upgrade my system due to the recent addition of an MSI GTX1080Ti Gaming X 11Gb! The current system runs on an AMD FX8350 with 16Gb RAM @1600 and as expected is not performing as wished. I already have an MSI Z170a Tomahawk as a gift, and I was thinking of buying an i-7700k (around 400€ here in Greece), however I have second thoughts because buying an AM4 motherboard and one of new Ryzen CPUs would cost about the same (a 1600x with a decent AM4 Mobo goes around 350€-400€). Also I'm am not really sure on what RAM frequency to choose for the new system and how crucial are the differences from 3000 to 3200 or 3600. I use my PC for web/game development, video editing and obviously gaming. What would you suggest I do with the CPU/Mobo and how many GB of RAM and at what speeds should I choose? Thanks in advance
  3. Thank you for the suggestions guys I already own the PSU, the small SSD, 1 HDD and the Motherboard so this is more like the complete build
