Hey guys, yesterday I installed Windows 10 on my newly build pc, but in a video from Paul's Hardware he explains you should select the option of the bootable usb that says "UEFI:". I accidentally selected the other option and I was wondering if there was another way to fix this besides reinstalling Windows 10 as that would take me way too much time. Thanks!

what does that mean for installing Windows though? What steps would I have to take to get it onto my pc? And does it have support from Microsoft unlike the OEM versions?

So, I recently purchased a copy of Windows 10 Home, which I though would be a regular copy, but turned out to be an ESD version. As I do not have the slightest clue as to what an ESD version is, I am afraid I might have done something incredibly stupid. (It's non refundable apparently) I haven't used the code or url they gave me to get the copy of Windows just in case. Please help me asap! Thx!

I actually out the 1600X, which is the one I would go for, does not come with a cooler. http://www.amd.com/en-us/press-releases/Pages/amd-ryzen-5-cpus-2017mar15.aspx Thanks for the advice on overclocking and RAM!

I think I'll wait for the results of the Ryzen 5 1600X then. Seems to be what I'm looking for.

Thanks! Do you also happen to know about possible other advantages Ryzen would bring in general?

How about Overwatch?

Hey, I'm on my way to building my first ever pc and I have already gathered the case, power supply, SSD storage and motherboard. The motherboard is the Asus B150 PRO GAMING/AURA. Until recently I wanted an i5-6600k CPU for my build, but after hearing about AMD's Ryzen 5 lineup I started to reconsider. I have always had an Intel CPU, so I would like to know more about the advantages and disadvantages of going for a Ryzen 5 CPU rather than the i5-6600k. I am not specifically talking about just performance numbers, but mainly other features, like does it come with a stock cooler, is there good overclocking software included, etc.Also I'd like to know what kind(s) of RAM the CPU will most likely support, since I think the motherboard only supports DDR4 RAM (don't quote me on that, I'm still a newby at this). What do you think would be the max overclock frequency of the 1600X? Also would this CPU be a good match with a GTX 1060 or would it bottleneck it? Thanks! Edit: By the way the motherboard has an 1151 socket, which pobably means it doesn't fit, right?
