So I decided to upgrade my CPU, RAM and mobo to go with the Ryzen 5600x as I moving from the i7-7700k. Here are just some of the issues I've had to tackle: bent pins on the back of the mobo bc my dumbass left a cord behind that I had to pull out as gently as possible, drives plugged into the wrong SATA port per the mobo's specifications so they weren't recognized, and windows not booting after fresh install (this one I have not solved yet). Though at least I can say I successfully did a BIOS flashback that recognizes the Ryzen chip and all that good stuff. Here is the current parts list: Ryzen 5600x ASUS TUF Gaming Plus B550 Crucial Ballistix DDR4 3200 MHz RAM (32GB - 16 GB x 2) EVGA FTW GTX 1080 (hoping to upgrade soon) Seasonic Gold 750 W PSU Asus PCI-E Wi-Fi Adapter Inland Professional NVME QLC SSD 2 TB Samsung EVO 850 256 GB SSD WD 1 TB HDD Seagate Firecude 2 TB SSHD Here is what typically happens: I do a fresh install of windows on the NVME, from a windows 10 boot drive (have used two distinct usb boot drivesto test if one was doing a corrupted install of windows). And everything seems to be fine. Full fresh partition and everything and it loads in. I start installing drivers, log into my microsoft account, the PC even successfully restarts and boots a few times for updates. Then shit goes south after a few restarts: the ASUS TUF splashscreen will show but there is no Windows circular loading symbol. Then the splashscreen disappears and it shows back. The green BOOT light then stays lit on my mobo. I then restart my PC, load into the BIOS, and try to manually select the NVME to boot. The mobo reads it as Windows Boot Manager, and it is listed as first priority boot by default. I have no idea why it is staying on a black screen after initial boot. I assume this is a software issue because the bios recognizes everything that is connected correctly now. Any ideas for troubleshooting because I am at a loss. Should I reflash the BIOS? Or am I SOL with a hardware issue I am not noticing?

WOW. Thank you I feel dumb

I have the latest versions of Afterburner and RTSS installed, the OSD works just fine in game....except the RivaTuner Statistics Server technology screen will not appear and I do not know how to enable it. I've tried killing the processes and running it again, enabling different settings, restarting my PC, but nothing I have done works. I want to be able to set a framerate limit in the RTSS tech screen to help lessen discrepancies between my frametime and my framerate. Any ideas?

I have a bottleneck on BF1 at Ultrawide (2560x1080) with 100% CPU utilization and ~60% GPU utilization, and I have trouble maintaining above 60 FPS. So I've encountered the bottleneck a bit

My mobo is a non k so Id still have to upgrade that. i7 7700 viable?

Looking to upgrade my CPU so my 1080 isn't bottlenecked, I was thinking a R5 1600 but my RAM is 16GB of DDR4 @ 2133Mhz. Would it be fine to upgrade my CPU now and wait to buy faster RAM until I sell my current CPU, mobo, and RAM? I'm really looking to leave behind my i5 6500 so I can actually utilize the power of my 1080.

Would you suggest the G6 over the One Plus 5?

I currently have an iPhone 5c and I am looking to upgrade, my price range is around $500. The software is dated and the battery is failing--I am clamoring for a new upgrade. I am heavily interested in the One Plus 5 but after reading the most recent AMA by them, online users do not seem to particularly appreciate One Plus's marketing schemes. Is the One Plus 5 not worth the investment? I would love any worthwhile android purchasing advice from this forum. Thanks!
