Alright, I only play Casual and Ranked for Siege, don't play in Scrims or anything so should be fine. Thanks for the recommendation!

That's the one I was leaning towards but wanted more clarification. How is the response time? Cause I play Siege and Warzone so I want something that is not amazing but perfectly fine for the price point.

I would like some suggestions on what type of monitors to buy, I have heard alright reviews of the Odyssey G5, Gigabyte M27Q as well as some others. Id prefer a curved option rather than flat as my other monitor is already curved (Samsung C27JG50) but if a flat screen is considerably better than the curved options then that's fine. Any help would be appreciated please!

Yeah think Ill go with a better monitor, mine has just broke on me with coloured vert lines appearing on boot up so Thanks for the help though! You too @narrdarr

So noticeable but money is better to put towards other parts of the system? Cause I got the money but if I can save $40 and put that into a better monitor then that's what I was wondering if I should do or not

Id say so, from the video it shows 8-10% increased performance for certain situation. I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed a difference in their performance when going from 2 to 4.

I personally stay away from anything over 18 unless you start entering high frequencies like 4000

That might be true for every other CPU but there IS a difference between 4 and 2 on Zen 3 specifically, i.e So I just wanna know if the price difference is worth the jump in price. Even if its worth going from 3600 to 3200

I was just wondering what is the better solution. I have seen videos from GN, Hardware Unboxed and Jay showing that 4 sticks provide performance increases over 2 sticks. The difference in price is $40 AUD ($30USD) with the 2x16GB kit being cheaper and was debating on whether the performance improves are worth the extra money. Any help would be appreciated

Anytime!

Okay that's a step forward! So it boots into windows with the drives now connected? If so that's great! I'm unsure on how you could fix the Windows issue though. I would personally Google it and see if someone has a solution or contact Microsoft. Hopefully everything starts working properly soon!

Lmk the outcome!

Try booting with everything disconnected bar the USB drive to ensure its not a internal drive issue

Have you tried disconnecting every drive, even the OS Drive and booting off a Windows Media Creation USB, I seen you had tried that but was that with everything disconnected?

Have you tried disconnecting all drives besides the OS boot drive to force it to boot to that drive?

Have you selected the drive in the BIOS? To get to the BIOS, when you start up, spam F2 or Delete if you were unaware

Is this a laptop or PC? because that's a laptop cpu while the rest are desktop parts? Also like @emosunsaid does it have RAM? if so what Ram is installed currently?

That's assuming you can find a reasonable card for a good price, people are reselling their GPU's atm for what retail is normally due to the price increases. Like i said best bet is to get lucky with newegg and get a brand new card at retail

The only way to get something better is to pay the scalped price which I highly recommend NOT doing or winning the luck of the draw through Newegg

Ive currently got a different DP cable plugged in and turning the computer off and on with no issues so far but like i said, it doesnt happen all the time so gonna have to wait to know for sure

It never had the coloured lines when solely booting it up from the ps4 so im like 90% sure it isnt the monitor

So as the title says, I just wanna know if that's possible. Cause I'm unsure if its my cable, my monitor or even my GPU. It happens whenever I boot my computer and lasts for a while but then just disappears for the rest of the time my computer is on. What is weird is that it doesn't do it every time and the severity of the lines varies every boot up, as well as how long it lasts. My suspicion is its either the cable or GPU, cause I recently plugged my ps4 back in and when I booted my computer it happened but as soon as I switched to the HDMI for the PS4 it stopped, then returned when I switched back to DP. However it didn't instantly disappear when I switched, it faded out which is why I haven't ruled out the monitor yet. Really hope it isn't the GPU cause, well you guys know why I'd have a hard time getting one. Any help would be appreciated. Edit- I have now ruled out the cable completely as I replicated the issue with 2 different cables on the same monitor. Still unsure if it's the monitor or GPU at this time

Was unaware b450 boards didnt support it, I knew it was dying but thought support was still available. Only asked cause he has two plugged in
