  1. Simply because I have used the Intel drive for OS since my first build in 2015 and I am too lazy to replace it with a new drive and reinstall windows The 970 was a purchase from just a few years ago meant only for game storage. Have actually been wondering lately if I should replace the OS drive with a new SSD or an M.2
  2. Oh wow thank you all for mentioning this! After checking it out I realize that a B650 is enough for me, and that I can get better ram with the money saved. Since some of you included storage and cases in your lists, I just want to mention that I already have the following: Storage (I do have more drives but I think these are the most relevant): OS Drive: Intel 530 Series 180GB Games Drive: Samsung M.2 SSD 970 EVO PLUS 2TB Case: Fractal Design North (mesh version) I have also edited my original post in this thread to include this info
  3. Budget (including currency): 20k SEK (Swedish Crowns), which is about 1930 USD Country: Sweden Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Main use is gaming (games like Star Citizen, Cyberpunk 2077, Helldivers, FFXIV) and everyday use. I don't do any video editing or animation/rendering. Other details: Hello! I've managed to save money during my time at university and I'm now planning to buy some parts when I graduate. These are the parts I am planning to buy: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI RAM: Kingston 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL36 FURY Beast GPU: GeForce RTX 4070 Super (haven't decided which variant yet) At current prices these parts would total to about 19.1k-19.9k SEK(about 1838-1915 USD), depending on which variant of the GPU I choose. I intend to use the new parts with some of my current parts: CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S PSU: Corsair AX860 Does this look good for a PC that would run 1440p games at mid-high settings at 90+ FPS? Any compatibility issues at all? I've heard from a friend that one should be careful when choosing RAM for AM5 because of potential instability issues, but according to the Asus site for checking memory compatibility, the RAM I have chosen (Part no. KF560C36BBEK2-32) is supported. Would greatly appreciate any input! EDIT: Thank you for the responses so far! I have seen the errors of my ways in the choice of motherboard and can see that a B650 will be enough for me, and that I can get better RAM with the money I save from that. Also, here are some additional specs that might be relevant: Storage (I do have more drives but I think these are the most relevant): OS Drive: Intel 530 Series 180GB Games Drive: Samsung M.2 SSD 970 EVO PLUS 2TB Case: Fractal Design North (mesh version)
  4. Exactly the same. I unplugged the left monitor (a Dell U2412M) and left my computer for 40 minutes to see what would happen. When I came back I woke up the pc by moving my mouse, right clicked on my desktop, and it did the whole white and unresponsive desktop thing. I restarted the pc so that it would work again and plugged in the left monitor. Then I unplugged the right monitor (an ASUS TUF VG27AQ) and left my computer for another 40 minutes, moved my mouse to wake the pc again, right clicked on the desktop and then it became white and unresponsive.
  5. Specs: CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K Ram: Corsair CMK16GX4M2Z3600C18 16GB DDR4 running at 3600MHz GPU: Asus ROG Strix RTX 2060 Gaming OC (with the latest drivers from Nvidia installed) PSU: Corsair AX860 Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix Z390-F Gaming OS: 64 bit Windows 10 running on an SSD, INTEL SSDSC2BW180A4 BIOS Version: 1802 Whenever I try to use my computer after it has been idle for a while it stops registering mouseclicks on anything on the desktop and any open programs, the desktop goes white and task manager doesn't open(not from Ctrl+Shift+Esc or Ctrl+Alt+Delete). In the attached image you can see the white desktop and even that the taskbar disappears but the desktop icons and mouse are still there, even though I can't do anything with them. This freeze or crash or whatever you want to call it can happen if I simply right click on my desktop right after it has been idle. I have the default settings for the "High Performance" power setting on, so hibernation and power saving is set on "never" in the power options and the screen is set to turn off after 15 minutes (but but wether or not the screen is turned on shouldn't impact anything?). As I wrote in the specs I have BIOS version 1802, which is the latest BIOS version for my motherboard on ASUS's website that isn't a beta version. I updated yesterday from version 1502 hoping that maybe my problem would be solved but it was not. I've used Norton 360 to make a full PC scan and it found nothing. I also ran sfc /scannow in Powershell as an administrator and it concluded that nothing was wrong. I have even gone through every process in Task Manager multiple times and made sure that any program that shouldn't be there is gone (although there are a few ASUS processes left that I'm not sure if I can quit or not). Don't know if this is relevant, but I have heard that USB devices can cause problems so I'll just list them. I have a Corsair Gaming Ironclaw RGB mouse, a Corsair Strafe RGB MK2 keyboard, a Logitech G Pro X Wireless Lightspeed headset, an Arozzi Sfera microphone and an old Logitech HD Webcam C270. For the Corsair products I have Corsar iCue installed and for the Logitech headset I have G Hub installed. Any ideas for what more I could try? A fresh install of Windows 10 will be my last resort.
  6. No, I just let them be, even when I turn off my computer
  7. TLDR: I have two monitors, the primary one turns on and off a couple of times every time I wake the computer from power saving mode while my secondary monitor stays on the entire time. Is this maybe caused by the connection the primary monitor has to my graphics card? More detailed version: I have two monitors, a Dell U2412M and an Asus VG27AQ, both connected to an Asus ROG Strix RTX 2060 OC via displayport. Every time my computer wakes up from being in power save mode I hear the Windows sound for a device being unplugged, namely my primary monitor, the Asus one. About 1-2 seconds later I hear the Windows sound for a device being plugged in, and my primary monitor turns on again. Then it turns off then on again. Then the primary monitor proceeds to go black for a second or two and then goes back to normal and the "G-Sync compatible monitor detected" notification pops up. All this happens while my secondary monitor is turned on the entire time and I can just see my wallpaper switch between being in 1-monitor mode and 2-monitor mode while my primary monitor does its thing. Is this maybe caused by the connection the primary monitor has to my graphics card?

  9. Hi,I am planning to buy a new monitor, and I'm stuck between the Acer Nitro XV272UP( https://uk-store.acer.com/xv2-gaming-monitor-xv272up-black ) and the ASUS TUF VG27AQ( https://www.asus.com/Monitors/TUF-Gaming-VG27AQ/ ).The thing is, I don't really see any difference between them, but when I show them to my friends they all say "but you have an ASUS gpu right? that means you should get the ASUS monitor." Does that even makes sense?Anyway, except for the price, the fact that the ASUS monitor can be overclocked to 165hz and the Acer monitor has USB-ports(which I like but isn't a deciding factor), I don't really see any difference between them.Which monitor would you recommend and why?
