Thank you for this. I appreciate this very much. It eases my heart a little. I'll do a follow up post if I have any issues once I get everything together. I have a GTX 660 TI kicking around if it doesn't want to display anything and a bios update is required. I will be going with either the MSI X470 Gaming Pro, Asus Prime X470-Pro or the Gigabyte X470 AORUS Ultra Gaming for a motherboard. Well..maybe not so much the 3rd one as I've seen many mixed(Many great) reviews that had issues with having duds on the first buy. Once again, thank you for the research and reply.

Hi All, I've begun to slowly collect parts to build a new PC. I've been researching and comparing everything like crazy and torn between Intel and AMD. But during the Amazon Prime Day sale, I picked up a Ryzen 2700 that went on sale for $299 CAD. That price point got me to purchase it. So here I am all hyped up to target a Motherboard, RAM and a Case next. Everything else will be moved over from my previous build: Power Supply, Hard drives and my EVGA GTX 780 3GB SC. Here is the issue that is causing my heart to sink and get that painful feeling. While researching a new motherboard, I'm seeing some issues related to using a GTX 780 having no display. it doesn't seem board specific, but CPU specific. Looking at some QVL's of motherboards, the 780 is also not listed. Here is one example of the issues I've been reading up on: https://community.amd.com/thread/228819 I have seen similar posts on motherboard forums. Being that I won't be able to test anything until I've completed purchased all the parts, it won't be for a few months. By then, I would not be able to return the processor as I planned to purchase a new part every other paycheck to fit my budget. I had not planned on purchasing a new video card just to go with the system just yet. Is anyone able to help by providing some insight or confirmation that they have successfully built out a Ryzen 2X00 series CPU with a GTX 780? This doesn't appear to affect any Ryzen 1X00 series, just the Ryzen 2X00 series of CPUs. Can anyone please confirm this?

I also recently bought a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB. Is there an issue with applying the Over Provisioning feature after already loading an OS and some data on it?
