It didn't the first couple of times, I fiddled with it a third time but only checked file explorer because being tired equals a smooth brain.

Ok, well, it shows in device manager after I intelligently checked again after posting, and it was there and I was able to initialize and format it. Third reseating and reboot's the charm I guess, please feel free to berate me now

I recently grabbed a new ssd (a 2tb Teamgroup MP33) to put in my second m.2 slot, but it's not showing up in windows anywhere, I rebooted to get to the bios menu and it does show there. Is there something I'm missing or some option in Windows I don't know about to initialize it or could I potentially have too many devices since I have two sata drives for storage and another ssd?

I'd go for the MSI board since it has better connectivity.

Last week while gaming, my Cooler Master Masterkeys pro L rgb keyboard completely disconnected from my pc, no input, no rgb, no nothing. I unplugged it and plugged ti back in and it worked.... for less than ten seconds, it did the same thing, I even tried three other micro usb cables and just about every usb port on my pc but still got the same result. I tried an old HP ps2 kb, and that worked, so I gave up and bought a Logitech g512. I don't expect my Cooler Master kb can be saved but figured I'd see if there's hope for it, or if it has indeed died.

Unless I got a deal to good to pass up on a 1440 or greater display, I'll continue to main my HP 24m and old 19" Element tv. Gaming at 1080p 60hz works perfect for me since I don't do any competitive gaming and just want to enjoy myself. 720 on my little secondary is fine, after all, do I really need a higher res to read text on discord or web?

I've been using a 2060 for a little bit now and while I can't say much for most of the games you listed, Minecraft has been running perfectly for me, even started using shaders and it runs like butter at 1080p, I don't know what res your monitor is, so your millage can vary. In terms of pricing though, the rx6600 would probably be a better deal overall unless you find a 2060 or something beefier on sale.

My last pc had two usb2 and two usb3 ports up front, and I used one to power some led blacklights for a while, this pc has two usb3 ports, but aside from popping in a flash drive to install windows, they've gone unused thus far. I do have a usbC on the back of my motherboard and I've got a header for a front type c, but that will probably never actually get used any time soon if ever. My front audio gets far more usage.

A Ryzen 5 5600X would be a good place to start, considering your budget you could probably go for a beefier cpu. You'd still want a decent gpu, while it's not a heavily graphically demanding game, a card on the same level as a 1050 won't allow for maxed out settings without having to take an fps hit, and BeamNG gets very unplayable once you are in sub 20fps territory due to input lag. Something speced out similar to my system can handle the game quite well with most of my setting maxed out except for dynamic reflections ( I find there's only so far that's really worth pushing) and a decent amount of ai traffic and parked cars on screen with simplified physics.

You ought to be able to go ahead and install your os at this point, I didn't even check if my ssd showed up in bios and just went full send for my windows 10 install The boot LED is just indicating that the pc can't boot an os, which is fine if you've yet to install one.

I know and intend to get a dp to hdmi adapter when I can, I just can't get those things quickly, and want a temporary solution to have both displays.

Ok, cool, the 1030 is just going to run a 720p display for discord and browser tabs. I just wanted to be sure it won't gimp my 2060 for gaming and streaming and whatnot.

I should add, I'm not using sli, I've heard that's too much pain, I just want to know if they will work independently from each other, or will they bridge in some way despite not trying to do sli. Sorry, early morning brain right now.

Will I encounter any issues using two gpus at the same time? I have my better card in my 16x slot and a low end card in my 8x full size slot so I can have a second hdmi connection. Will the weaker card hold back my stronger one? The gpu's.

Nah, it should just plunk down when you get it on there, if you have to push against it then there's a tolerance issue. But as I said, it looks fine, the cables don't look kinked or anything.
