    It sounds as if it doesn't like your ram.

    That is correct; I missed the "mini" bit.

    Lian Li o11 Mini only takes SFX power supplies. This one looks like a standard ATX, right?

    if you plan on a custom loop, don't get an expensive aio now.
    invest that money towards a 5900x and a good cheap air cooler like the gelid phantom.
    also the b550m steel legend is fine for the 5800x, but for the 5900x i'd go with the mortar

    Your spending alot on a PSU. If you spend 150 - 200 you can afford a 5900x. Also you may want a slightly better mobo.

    pro4 should be just fine and is half the price
    otherwise looks good except for maybe the GPU might be a small bottleneck

    I have a 21:9 and a 16:9 monitor. Honestly you can fit two windows side by side on the 21:9 screen just fine. The only issue is full screen videos. You will have black bars on the side as most if not all internet videos are created for 16:9 monitors. If your ok with that, Id say go ultrawide.

    If you can afford them sure, but which one out of so many is another problem

    it doesnt seem to be bothered with either brand of graphics cards, so that's a factor ruled out
     
    2060 Super and RX 5700XT are the best value options at this price range (if I'm underestimating prices of the 5700XT, look for the 5700 instead). Performance wise 5700 < 2060S < 5700XT, they'll do 1080p 100-140fps or 1440p 60-80fps in general, tho demanding games like Red Dead 2 stresses GPU so much that the 2060S and 5700 do 90fps at 1080p high settings and 5700XT does 100fps with the same settings. 1440p will tank frame rates further if you dont reduce graphics quality

    What is your performance target? Do you only play in 1080p?

    FreakyAlleyCat got a reaction from Tan3l6 in M.2 SSD - No drive detected on initial bootup - can boot to it from Bios menu   
    Guys, I found a solution to this. I'll post the fix here, in case anyone encounters this thread searching for a solution:
     
    I replaced the cmos battery on my mainboard. It seems like the battery was empty, so the mainboard kept forgetting all the changes made to the bios whenever i switched off the power socket overnight. In my case the important changes made to the bios were setting the Sata 5&6 lanes to "M.2" and the boot order, wich also explains why i could always boot to the correct drive from bios. So new battery, fix bios settings, problem gone, awesome!
