Hi everyone, I built my first desktop about a month ago. Everything has been working great, until today while playing GTA V my computer shut down and wouldn't boot again. I noticed he RX 480 was very hot to the touch, so I took out the gpu and all of the sudden it booted up. I tried putting my RX 480 back in but no luck. I decided to try the gpu in the other PCIe slot, but once again no luck. Does this mean I damaged myu RX 480? or could this be something to do with the motherboard? I'm not too sure what to do about this, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Here is my spec list if it helps: CPU: i5 6600k Fan: Hyper 212 Evo Mobo: MSI z170a Gaming M5 RAM: G Skill Ripjaw 16G DDR4 2400mhz HDD/SSD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB 7200RPM/ Samsung 850 Pro 128GB GPU: XFX RX 480 OC 1328 (reference card) PSU: EVGA 650w G2

Hi everyone, I am building my first pc! I am using the fractal define s case, therefore I am unable to use an optical drive to install my windows 10. My friend happened to have a spare windows 10 DVD so he gave it to me. I know you can download windows 10 and create a bootable usb, but can I somehow extract windows 10 from the DVD and install it onto a usb? If so could anyone give me some directions or a link to some steps? Thanks very much!!!

Hey everyone, I am going to build my first gaming pc! I have been doing a lot of research on parts and compatibility and I believe I have created a decent build. I was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions for alternate parts or if I missed anything. One of my worries was RAM clearance, do you think this will be an issue? I have attached a copy of my parts list at the bottom. I have a budget of about $1500 CAD. Constructive criticism greatly appreciated, thanks! http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/twck6X
