I think I fixed it, if you wouldn't mind looking at it again

Budget (including currency): $650 Country:USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Music Production Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): This would be a completely new build, which is where the problem comes. With the pcpartpicker list (https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Brettyboo/saved/#view=nCpjHx) saying that the motherboard would need a BIOS update if the board wasn't on the newest version. I don't have another CPU to update it. My question is, how could I use the CPU that I've chosen with the motherboard? Or would I have to choose a completely different motherboard? Any recommendations of other parts changes are welcome as well.

I need to clean a family members laptop and apply new thermal compound as well as my own, what compound should I get, and how much do I need for two laptops?

I need help with recommendations for a laptop. I'm looking for something as fast as I can get for about $800-$850 max. My only stipulation is that I want something that has a touch screen for notes. This will mainly be for schoolwork.

I'm needing help putting together a parts list for a HTPC, needs to include OS and keyboard/mouse but no monitor. I only have a budget of $500

I don't play any games. This would be in the United States. I would only need peripherals. The monitor and OS don't need to be factored in.

No, this would be a completely new build.

Looking for parts recommendation for a custom built HTPC, only going to be used for 1080p content. Priced somewhere between 400-550 USD.

Just 1080p

I'd like to have a complete build, between 400-500 USD. And it would only be used for content consumption.

What is the best value AMD HTPC build?

What is the most value oriented HTPC build from Intel?

I've never used MacOS, I just thought that it may be easy to learn. I definitely wouldn't want the dongles with it. But I'm a fairly basic user so I don't need anything of the highest rank, but I'm looking for something that I won't have to worry about upgrading for a while.
