Using AMD's boot kit to update my bios on my MSI B450 Tomahawk. When I turned it on, I get no boot and all four of my debugging lights stay on. Does this mean my motherboard is dead? I wouldn't think it would be because the debugging lights turn on. But I also see no reason why it isn't booting to bios.

My Bluetooth keyboard just started hacking issues recently. Whenever I type on the top and bottom rows of the alphabet, the keys will type that letter and the other character in their diagonal row (excluding the middle row). For example, when I type c it shows up as ce3, w I get xw2, 1 I get qz1, and so on. There are characters in blue print that are FN, iOS, Android, and Windows. My friend told me it could be a settings issue, but I’m not too sure. Any suggestions?

So I just built my pc, and I made into BIOS. Everything is detected, but the boot LED is red. Should I be concerned? I haven't installed an OS or updated BIOS.

You probably should ditch the SSD, isn’t needed for a budget build. I don’t know if you can put it towards any better hardware, maybe faster RAM.

Sorry, I had my page translated into English and it says both use 1070s. I would probably get the e800. Even though it costs more (about 20%), the 1070s performance is also better than the 1060 by 20%, so I would buy the e800. Furthermore, your GPU is probably going to be the first thing needed to be upgraded in the future, so the e800 will last you a little longer.

I would get the 880-07NT. For one, the E800 costs more. This probably because of the fact that it has an overclockable CPU (the E800 uses an i7-7700K while the 880-07NT uses an i7-7700, K means that it can be overclocked). CPU overclocking can provide a difference in performance, however not a lot (and almost none just for games, only for content creation). However, the price difference between the i7-7700 and the i7-7700K by themselves is so small, it isn’t worth the extra money the E800 costs (keep in mind overclocking voids your warranty as well). Other than CPU, the parts are pretty much the same, so I would go with the 880-07NT.

You don’t really need an i7 if you are just gaming on your PC, so if you want to downgrade it to an i5 8th gen CPU that’s fine. You can use that money towards a better GPU, such as a 1070ti. If you want to keep the i7 in your build, I would upgrade the 1060 in the future first.

You should probably upgrade your GPU, probably a 1060 for a budget build. Probably get another 8 GB of RAM too

probably go with the build brob gave you, also use a normal AIO like the Cooler Master 212 Evo

The motherboard you have isn't compatible with the Ryzen 5 1600X, so you'll have to get a new one (they use different sockets). A good way to know if your Motherboard is compatible with your CPU is by enabling the "Compatability" filter on pcpartpicker.

Along with the other suggestions, if you aren't using SLI I don't think there is any need for a 650W PSU, maybe get a 550W instead.

What is your price range?

Like others have said, there is no reason for a Wi-Fi card. You can use that $100 for more RAM.
