Just over black friday i ended up buying a I7-12700FK and an ASUS Z690. After installing everything last night and attempting to see performance improvements i was hit with the BIOS showing 2 storage devices but no bootable drive. I have a M.2 SSD for my main drive with a 870 EVO as my extra storage drive. I can force boot through the bios and it will load windows 11 fine, but after any restart it will "fail to boot". i have changed my settings to UEFI only boot with CSM on. anything else i can look into? Boots fine but very annoying to have to go into the BIOS just to load windows. Thanks for any advice in advance. system info if helpful I7-12700FK RTX3070 ASUS Z690P-WIFI D4 Team Group DDR4 32gb Samsung 970 990 M.2 and 870 evo SATA drive

I tried to fit 16gb of ram but its just to much. You could do a smaller 240gb SSD instead of 1tb Mass storage drive. Atleast in the US it'd be around $30-35 if you shop hard

MOBO-44 i7 3770-112 GTX 1060- 140 Seagate 1TB 7200RPM- 33 8gb DDR3-30 Total-359 Needed, PSU and case and cooling. I'll let you decide what you want.

Try using the uk ebay and the US ebay. Alot of sellers are willing to ship. I buy alot of parts from canada

If you are willing to go used you could buy xeon's, older i7's newer prebuilts.... the list goes on

Whats your budget in USD?

Try to pick up a Dell Optiplex with the 3470. they go for about $100 USD with 8gb DDR3 and a 500GB HDD. From there, throw in a PSU, SSD, and a GPU of your choice and there you go. The only downside of a prebuilt is going to be you customization choices. The case is the case. There is no window, there are no RGB fans.

If i was picking between the 2 I'd take the Strix. IMHO best line of cards you can get besides King pin's

Full send

That was difficult to read. I might have lost brain cells

LOL. No problem, at least we got you figured out.

Couple things, Make sure you are on the latest drivers, make sure you are in a dual channel config(BF really likes dual) and make sure you don't have Resolution scale on 200%. Keep us up to date with your findings so others that may have an issue can find the solution.

now I'm defiantly not in your league of hardware, but that seems extremely low to me. here is a video of BFV on a 1080TI, He got around 90-100 The entire time. If you can, use Afterburner or somthing and see if you are maxing GPU,CPU,Ram, what ever to make sure you don't have a bottle neck. Besides that just fidle with settings.

Personal preference is EVGA.

Alright, i convinced him that a PSU is not a part to skimp so he is saving a little then getting an EVGA 650 G2. I have had one for 4 years now and i like the cables it comes with. Thanks for the replys.
