Ok (if it’s not built yet I’d swap the mobo) 
 
this would be better for $13 more

You shouldve put your motherboard info in there too, so we (you could do it yourself too) could check if it would support USB3. 
If it does everything will work as advertised. Is you only have USB2 it will still work but a little slower, if you would notice that is another discussion alltogether.

80%+ chances it will work perfectly and is compatable with all your hardware, but if not just return it like @star_pilot475 said.

Most likely it will work. If not, just return it. 

Most likely it will work. If not, just return it. 

Lots of "training" videos from the past refer to it as such, sadly. In a roundabout way it IS probably the easiest way to explain it to luddites. It is a unit that's central and performs the processing. Lots of people elevate the importance of the monitor, mouse, keyboard, and other peripherals (in very different ways than we gamers) that causes confusion.

I feel the same way. I NEVER play video games while I’m out of the house. When I’m out, it’s because I’m busy. A home console would be a great idea for the next switch. 

I agree...come holiday season every kid’s gonna have one of these. 

lol Best ad for a Game Console ever  ??

It's just what many people have wanted, and it's probably going to sell like hotcakes.

looks even more like a kids toy now. 

Hey, at least they know that much. A win is a win.

very common, sadly

wait for third party Radeon RX 5700xts...

Topic: A double blind study if people can tell the difference between 1080p, 4k and 8k at different distances and pixel densities.
 
Motivation: 8k seems to become the new selling feature on the highest tier of TVs, even though many people claim that you shouldn't even be able to tell the difference between 1080p and 4k at traditional TV sizes and viewing distances. The claimed reason is that the distance between pixels projected on the retina becomes smaller than the distance between photoreceptive cells. Example:
But human vision is not that simple (1 pixel --> 1 photoreceptive cell), it instead works by integrating the signals of many different photoreceptors, so while the image might not get measurably sharper, people might still be able to tell the difference because 8k seems more natural or something vague like that. (light from 2 pixels hits 3 photoreceptive cells for example and the difference in activation level is processed into the image in your mind, for example)
 
Testing this out would be a nice opportunity to show off cool tech in any case, could save people (or peoples less tech savy relatives) a lot of money (if you can't tell the difference), or be an opportunity for TV manufaturers (possible sponsors) to prove "the haters" wrong (if you can tell the difference). In the end you could lets the 8k TV "stretch it's legs" and turn on all the special features if you want to show other benefits of that class of TVs.
 
Setup: Three calibrated TVs of equal size, brightness, refresh rate, and contrast (alternatively 1 tv set at different resolutions, but that could lead to scaling problems, since the TVs built-in scaler will upscale the image, right?) with the same or concealed stands and bezels set up by group 1, group 2 is saying what resolution they think the TV is (no approaching the screen closer than the defined distance by groups 2 and 3 obviously) and group 3 is recording. Only group 1 knows which TV is which, but isn't directly involved in the experiment, thus making this a double-blind setup, so the results should hold up to scrutiny. 8k footage prescaled to the different native resolutions is played on the TVs.
 
Optional Bonus Points: vary the viewing distance (screen size is irrelevant since it just translates to different viewing distances.
 
Summary: This would be interesting for anyone in the market for a TV, or monitor (you already did a video on 4k monitors, so testing monitors too might not be worth the effort, since 8k is mostly a selling point on TVs anyway).

Similar to what others have mentioned but here’s another option. (Slightly over budget)

Ah the speedrun bit was for op. I mostly just tagged you to let you know I think 3 is trash and op should just play 2 and then play the others if he starts to care about the story.

Thx for the suggestion! I do have that game already, and play it occasionally just not as much as the aforementioned games.

its ECC DDR4 it wont work on intel unless you have a xeon platform.

I’ve been obsessed with this since it came out 
 

550watts is plenty for that rig. I had the 970 with my i5-4590 and using a killowatt it never reached 400watta usage.

@star_pilot475 He's English, not American.

You should really build your own PC. 

Rule of thumb, always go for a more powerful single gpu. Not every game supports crossfire and SLI, and some even get lower fps with multiple gpu's. So unless you're doing multiple high end cards, it's really not worth it.
