Hey, I'm not sure what it means but I do have the be quiet 80+ Silver 600W PSU. The problem is now persistent. Yesterday I was able to still use my PC but now after 2 hours of not using it, it still turns off immediately. Could it be the PSU? In that case I guess I have to replace it but I've seen some people solve the problem with other steps. However, since my PC is smelling a bit weird, I think those solutions may not help me.

Hey guys. Since 2 days ago my PC randomly started shutting down. There is also a weird smelling coming from it since yesterday and a strange sound as well. Just a few minutes ago my PC shut down again and when I tried to turn it back on, it wouldn't do that. I then switched the plugs and my PC turned on for not even a second and then shut down immediately. Could it be the PSU? I did clean up my PC a bit yesterday but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I am helpless but I'd like to get this fixed soon if possible. Kind regards

Anywhere from 1,500 to 2,000 EUR.

I live in Germany.

LoL, Overwatch, Elder Scrolls Online, Mortal Kombat and such shouldn't be too big of a problem but I also want to get into the Witcher titles, GTA, Doom, Crysis, Destiny, Assassins Creed and so on.

So there will be no problem overclocking the motherboard? I guess I'll go with an X470 version then. Thanks!

Hey! I am planning to buy the following PC parts and I am going to list some questions I have about each part. CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Just for gaming and even any editing software, this should be enough but is the X really worth it here? What can I achieve when overclocking the Ryzen 5 2600 and the Ryzen 5 2600X? Would even a Ryzen 5 1600/1600X be good enough for this build? Mainboard - PRIME B350-PLUS This mainboard doesn't support SLI but that's not what I really want to go for as of right now. After looking for the specifications in terms of RAM, this is what it says on the ASUS website: "4 x DIMM, Max. 64GB, DDR4 3200(O.C.)/2133/2933(O.C.)/2666/2400 MHz ECC and non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory 4 x DIMM, Max. 64GB, DDR4 2400/2133 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory" What exactly does this mean? If I got that correctly, it says that any RAM I put on this mainboard will start at 2400 MHz but I do have the option to overclock the mainboard with the RAM to 3200 MHz. But I could also be wrong so I was wondering, what exactly this means. Also, what does the first line in that quote have to do with the second line? What does "ECC and non-ECC" and "Un-buffered Memory" mean? Can I overclock this mainboard with the RAM on top to 3200 MHz without any problems? Do I need a BIOS update for this mainboard? If I do need one, how do I do it? There is also this part on the ASUS website: "Maximum shared memory of 2048 MB - Supports RGB with a max. Resolution of 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz Multi-VGA output support: DVI / RGB / HDMI interfaces - Supports DVI-D with max. resolution 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz - Supports HDMI 1.4b with max. resolution 4096 x 2160 @ 24 Hz / 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz Integrated AMD Radeon ™ R Series Graphics in the 7th Generation A-Series APU" Does this mean that even if I get a 2560x1440p 144 Hz monitor, which I will be listing below, I would not be able to achieve the 1440p and 144 Hz? Should I get a different mainboard? RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws 4 DDR4-3200 Kit (2x4GB) I was wondering if I should go for DDR4-2400 RAM instead of the 3200 MHz version if I can overclock the 2400 MHz version to 3200 MHz or is it just better to get the DDR4-3200 Kit? GPU - Couldn't decide yet Right now I am thinking about getting the Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1070 Ti (8GB, DDR5) GV-N107TAORUS-8GD (Base: 1683 MHz, Boost: 1771 MHz) but I am also thinking about the following GPUs 1. Gigabyte GTX 1080 GV-N1080G1 GAMING-8GD 2. Gigabyte GTX 1080 WINDFORCE 8GB DDR5X Monitor - Acer Predator XB271HUAbmipz (2560x1440p, 144 Hz, G-Sync) I am still not sure if I am going "overkill" on the GPUs or if I am doing something wrong with the monitor here. Would a single 1070 Ti or a single 1080 with or without OC be good enough for a monitor like this? Will I be able to use this builds potential to the fullest? PSU - Corsair CX550 550W 80+ Bronze Would this PSU be enough for me in order to overclock everything if I wanted to? _____________ And that's about it. I only recently got into all this stuff so I would absolutely appreciate any advice I can get Best regards

I will be thinking about the monitor again later. I found this mainboard: https://de.msi.com/Motherboard/X370-GAMING-PLUS/Specification I am thinking about getting that one instead. Is there any hassle with BIOS updates maybe? Thank you for your suggestions!

Hey! I don't care too much about SSDs or boot times as I can wait if I really need an SSD, I can buy one in the future. Nowadays, I have heard so at least, 8GB of RAM should be enough and same again, if I need it badly, I can upgrade. Hello! But what does ECC and Non-ECC mean? Can I use my old laptop to download the BIOS update and then use a USB on the new PC to apply the update? I know $700 is a lot for that monitor but I want to experience it all for once. I have been using my old laptop for 7 years now using a 720p screen or whatever this is. Hey! SSD is not a priority for me as I don't care all that much about load times but thanks.

Hello guys, I am new here! This is the list of parts I currently have decided to go with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FZjFZR CPU-Cooler: The one provided by AMD Now, does it make sense to run DDR4 3200 RAM on the ASUS Prime B350-Plus? I have heard that it would be too much since it does not support 3200 RAM but on the ASUS website it states "DDR4 3200(O.C.)/2133/2933(O.C.)/2666/2400 MHz". What exactly does this mean? Do I need a BIOS update to overclock to 3200? Do I need a BIOS update in general? I would really appreciate your help!
