    I want the PSU to use all of its potential with a little bit extra power just in case. Not something over kill like the AX1600i. It would be a waste of money I think. I dont really have a budget but I want it to be fairly priced. What would be the best 650w gold+ power supply? Would brand make it better or worse?

    true enough, but again boot time doesn't matter all that much, I suggest a fresh install of Windows every year or so and to keep startup items to a min, keep fast boot on in the UEFI/BIOS and eventually upgrade to an NVMe SSD if you want sub 10 sec boots, otherwise who really cares, then again I rarely turn off my . computer, just occasionally reboot to switch which operating system im running.

    But they are pain in the butt to install and uninstall. In addition, they can easily get dust on it.

    you can use glary utilities to see the boot time, install it and then reboot and in one of the main tabs you'll see your boot time.  I say if the time it boots in is adequate to you, then don't bother doing much more than changing the startup options in the task manager.

    Ehhh. I don't trust software to calculate boot up time because I find some of them or all of them to be inaccurate. 

     

    @themctipers Oh okay.

    I have 4 SATA devices. 1x SSD, 2x HDDs, and 1x optical drive. 

     

    Total time from pushing the power button to the Windows logon screen: 00.23.42

     

    POST time: 00.06.68 - 00.07.55

     

    Windows logo appear to the logon screen: 00.08.18 - 00.23.42

     

    Do I begin timer for the boot up time after the POST or before the POST?

    I just contacted them and things a sorta back to normal. My computer now reads my GPU as an RX 570 instead of 580 and I used the DDU tool to uninstall the drivers. I also updated my bios. Here is what the AMD customer service person told me 

     

    To perform a clean installation using Display Driver Uninstaller, please follow these steps:

    1. Download the driver package from this link and save it;

    2. Download the DDU Tool and save it; 
      Note DDU is a third-party application. For more information, see the program documentation. This may be subject to other license agreement terms. Use at your own risk.

    3. Start your Windows in Safe Mode if possible. (please, refer to this Microsoft article for instructions on how to boot in Safe Mode) if you cannot boot in safe mode, continue with the instructions.

    4. Run DDU Tool to completely remove the display drivers installed. It's highly recommended to select the "Clean and Restart" option.

    5. Follow the installation prompts and restart in Normal Mode when requested.

    6. Install the driver package downloaded on step 1.

    7. Click the Accept and install license terms and conditions button.

    8. Follow the prompts until the installation is completed. Restart your computer when requested.

     

    Nice. Now run some benchmark to make sure it is fix and it is not detect as RX 580.
