    Not worried about disassembly being hard, looks very simple, and yeah those cases are super pricey, I'd rather just build my own in one at that point.

    I doubt you will be able to find or DIY wireless in that budget.

    So let me answer your questions in order
     
    Yes your system could handle 1440p maxed, but don't expect 144hz on all titles at Max FPS - 2k (1440p) is more demanding than some people assume. IE I game at 4k and 2k so  I am speaking from experience.
     
    Yes it makes a helluva a difference. In fact I have been gaming on my Acer Predator 165hz Gysnc IPS monitor over my 4k Seiki Pro because I want more hz over more pixels. Its so hard to explain how much it affects things, especially once you have it, then don't have it.
    This also makes a difference, although its subjective because I have played on IPS high hz monitors and not ever experienced screen tearing, but having that feature to ensure you don't is definitely something you would want. But if you have to pick IPS/Hz over Gysnc, go IPS/HZ.

    I thought this game looked super dumb a month ago, kept seeing it on streams though and started to see the appeal, bought it about a week ago and after a few games being a bit blah...it's absolutely made of crack, it's a great title and I can't wait to see what they keep doing with it.

    I never said anything like that meme at all. I never said anything about transphobia either. Don't put words in my mouth. Seems like you're more riled up than a Trans person about this. Don't be so defensive,  I never directed my comment at you to begin with. 
     
    By your logic gay people shouldn't be able to serve either, as considered to be a mental illness by many.

    Definitely don't agree with it. "a return to warrior culture" lol try being Trans for a few years and tell me again we don't have a warrior mentality. Total bullshit. I know many Trans veterans, the population is bigger than we think. They're amazing, strong, powerful people.

    The one missing is the old -5v which is 100% unused in any computer of the past decade. It's normal if it's missing.
     
    On top of that, I don't recommend you looking around for random cable replacements, as every PSU model has its own electrical pin-out which sometimes varies even between different wattages of the same model. Even if it physically fits, you risk turning your components into expensive paperweights if you are not careful about what you're doing.

    Weather or not one being trans interferes with their ability to serve in their nation's armed forces would be decided on a case by case basis.  To say 'NO ONE with any kind of mental illness or physical illness should be allowed into the military.' doesn't work and it's now how it works either, there are physical and mental illnesses which do not impose problems with military service and those individuals do serve in their militarizes.
     
    ...And let's not forget how The United States military has continued to lower recruitment standards over the last 20 years to make up for shortages in numbers.   To put it bluntly, applicants to the US Military (And OTHER militaries in the west) are becoming progressively fatter, older, and dumber and to not lower standards leads to troop shortages.

    Your lack of knowledge is showing. Not every trans person transitions medically or even experiences dysphoria.  not every trans person needs therapy or surgeries either...

    They've already been looked at.  They're beyond a military's control.

    Firstly, and let's not deny it, in a big picture kinda way the The United States and some other western counties are just getting fatter.
     
    In addition tot hat, you have competition with private and public employment.  And increasing number of individuals who would qualify as high quality soldiers can make more money and do better for themselves outside of the military.  As a simplistic example, why be an ace pilot for the US Air Force when Emirates has a starting pay of around $82 000 a year?

    I mean sure, you can find examples of individuals who feel a duty to serve their country and 'it's not about wages' and such, but we're not talking about 'individuals', the US alone, we're talking about a military of 1.5 million active and 800 000 reserves.
     
    You can say 'Oh, only the best should be allowed in the military' but when you say 'I need to recruit ten of the best' and only three meet that qualification, you have a problem that being 'picky' doesn't solve.  Saying 'It should only be the best' works great as an ideology but ideology doesn't always jive with reality.

    No it doesn't, you're right. But as you already said that the western world, especially the UK and the US are getting fatter, our waistlines are getting larger and we're taking up far more energy trying to fix the situation too. Maybe fixing such a terrible issue that not only causes people to be disgustingly unfit and less appealing for certain work, but they're becoming a huge burden on medical care too, especially here in the UK, where we have the NHS. Combating this would help not only with the military front, in the sense that more people will be able to reach those standards that, personally, I think should remain in place, but it would help ease tensions on other systems in place too. 
     
    Because holy shit, fat people going on welfare because they're too obese to work, using disabled car parking spots because they're too fat to walk, or they're needing excess medical care because they weren't able to keep their traps shut when it came to stuffing that extra slice of cake into their gob, which then costs the public more in the end to deal with. But then again, that's coming down to the self responsibility. Coming from someone who is fat and is fat because of a lack of responsibility of myself and how I handled certain things in the past. 
     
    As for the rest, I believe it stems from raising kids and the way we do so. I think Peter Hitchens put it well. The parents don't raise their kids anymore, and it seems in order to compensate for that, they spoil their kids with material goods. I've seen this in reality from working in retail and working in a skate store that dealt with kids on a daily basis. We'd get kids in, arguably the majority from all walks of life, who's parents were just too busy to deal with them, or simply didn't want to deal with them and would give them money just to buy something new for themselves either to keep them quiet or to keep them entertained. It breeds selfishness.

    I think the crux of your problem here is that you believe that everything that can be defined as 'mental illness' inherently interrupts with one's ability to function.  Don't get me wrong, in a lot of cases it does.  But to use that as a blanket description of mental illness doesn't work.  There are plenty of individuals with ranges of mental illness who are completely functional despite that.
     
    This is not a shot at your boyfriend who, from what you've indicated, experienced dysfunction as a result of depression and that's common, but it's not universal.  I imagine your boyfriend was also treated by doctors who evaluated his individual challenges faced by his depression and how they effected his ability to serve.  Which, again, is why it is normally a military's responsibility to make individual decisions on a case by case basis.
     
    I'm trans and Canadian.  Know what my medical needs are?  Three pills a day.  If I joined the Canadian forces I'd just be required to NOT take those three pills a day while training or deployed.  That's literally all of my hassles.
     
    ...Though I do have some limited range in my left shoulder as a result of like half a year of inflammation some years ago, that could disqualify me.  ...Also, as a personal choice, the Military is kinda a little too 'bro' for my taste and I make way more money in the visual effects industry.  I feel a military paycheque wouldn't as adequately fund my purchases of stupid nerdy things.

    But this is what military's already do.  They do individual physical and psychiatric assessments upon recruitment to determine their suitability and should issues arise in the future they reassess.  While it varies by military the jist of it is the same.  I mean, the biggest problem is that such systems have holes in them  There are plenty of veterans who return home with quiet but scary holes in their psyche yet are cleared to continue service while potentially being ticking time bombs.
     
    You're kinda getting stuck into the whole 'ideology vs reality' thing again.  In short, systems fail, we see them fail, we try, they fail anyway and suggesting that the solution is 'Just use a system that DOESN'T fail, then everything is fine'.  We live in an exceptionally complicated world inhabited by complicated creatures who build complicated systems.  Things go wrong.  All the time.  We can 'try our best' but 'error proof' doesn't exist here and to say 'Well, we should just not have errors' doesn't address any of the challenges.  It works no more than to say to your boyfriend 'Oh, well, did you try just NOT being depressed?  Then you shouldn't be depressed.'  Right?  It's basically a nonsense suggestion because it doesn't address the challenges that cause problems it just says 'stop having problems'.
