An XPG SX6000 is not too slow for any of those games. There is another issue here, or the drive itself is dying.
 
Why those choices for SSDs? Personally, I'd stick to Samsung or WD.

this forum: "fx reeeeeeeeeee"
also this forum: [says nothing about the 2600k]
 
this forum never ceases to amaze me

Buy it, eBay buyer protection will give you your money back.  

I don't think you understand the chart, I'd be more than happy to explain it, but AFAIK, political discussion is not allowed on this forum.

"Mass shootings" are an EXTREME statistical anomaly and are not a day-to-day threat. And if you're really scared, you can arm yourself to protect your property and life.

buy a X470 chipset to guarantee motherboard compatiblity. there are still a couple of boards lurking around with the wrong BIOS

Such a bad answer, no substance 

Not everybody needs the power of an RTX 2080, period. Most people buy Nvidia probably because they think if they make THE best cards, their cards would as well be the best choices, which isn't always true as it can clearly be seen with the RX 580.

1080p is the most selling market and some people just aren't informed properly to buy into the RX 580. It opens the way to a load of Freesync VA and IPS monitors which are much better than the TN garbage Nvidia sells with G-Sync modules for much more.

If I was buying a mid range GPU now from the ground up, it would most definitely be the RX 580.

Since we're already operating in Hyper-Pedantic Mode: 
"i.e." means id est, "that is."   "e.g." means  exemplī grātiā, "for the sake of example." In this context, you should've corrected it to "e.g."  

Hard to get away with something like that on a channel filled with nerds.  ?

In military speak, they would say Intel has lost the vital strategic initiative.
Intel must now respond to AMD's moves rather than vice versa.
 
Most likely still using toothpaste between the die and heat spreader though...

But it will have a monolithic die and thus be quite expensive for a CPU designed to fit a mainstream socket.

Nope, sadly not. Windows 10 is about as customizable as the Model T Ford. "You can pick any color you like, as long as it's black"

If the pins were bent back and it still works, then it’s completely fine. 

Only an Apple fanboy can defend a company that refuses to fix a $5000+ machine.

Oh certainly, my workstation at 32GB of 1866Mhz; and it costs a damn fortune. It was also in the an Ivy-bridge system though.

People forgot how old SB was, and how long it took for motherboards to enable decent RAM overclocking; nevermind the sticks supporting it well.

Steve from HU likely got a really good SB motherboard at the tail end before Ivy-Bridge dropped; considering he's running the ram at 2133Mhz. If he tested like others with the hardware they got for review at the launch there's no way he'd get 2133Mhz out of those.

It's all an interesting thing though; shows how much results can wildly vary between the most credible publish reviewers, and those can do ad hoc videos and tests.

I would have to assume they were referring to 2500k not the i7s, since double the cores and threads would make up for any single core disadvantage the i7s had. In which case the G4560 trades blows with the 2500k at stock

At any rate though, I don't like using user benchmark. I don't see how they can put together gaming results of different people if they're using different gpus, and it doesn't differentiate OCs so unlocked cpus get an advantage.

Ha, it's a bit of a puzzle, I know. If you like post a screen cap of the error list with the descriptions expanded and we'll see if we can decipher it.

check event viewer, post the crash information here. 

Well EXCUUUUSE ME. But really thank you, like I said I didn't expect it to, I just get anxious about such things.
