Budget (including currency): NA
Country: USA
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: primarily zoom and roll20.net role playing games and streaming with OBS, some emulation of n64, gamecube and other platform games, thinking about getting into PC games, but I REALLY SUCK at FPS shooter types.
Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):
SO I have already placed the order, and I am looking for some tips on what I did wrong
OLD PLAN:
Intel i7 9700
ASUS Prime H310M-A R2.0
Corsair 32gb (2x16gb) RAM 3200 mhz
Thermaltake 700w SMART White PSU
Noctua NH-U12S with 1 fan (b/c i saw it on LTT)
samsung m.2 1TB ssd
Coolermaster MATX case (i just picked it b/c it was cheap)
New plan:
AMD Ryzen 7 3800x
AsRock B550 Steel Legend
NZXT H510 case (saw on ltt)
same RAM
same PSU
same storage
GPU issues
I was gifted a RTX 2070 by a friend who could not use it in a server application;
I could not get the old build to come back online after a shutdown.
Restarting worked fine; but when I shut the computer down, the only way to get the PC to turn back on was to pop out the graphics card and then put it back.
I pulled all the components, and put them back one by one until I got a reliable boot after shutdown without the GPU.
I put in the RTX 2700, and got the same issue, it would boot the first time, but would not turn on after a shutdown without re-seating the GPU.
I cleared the CMOS to all auto and standard profiles.
I did an RMA on the motherboard.
I changed the 8 pin connector that i was using (on the same wires) from the psu.
same process, same issue.
I purchased a Radeon 5500 XT for testing.
The PC would not boot with the Radeon graphics card in the system.
I got a second Radeon GPU, same result.
I put the RTX 2070 back in, and the issue was the same. first boot all good, shutdown means that it won't power back on.
I get no fan spin, no start then immediately off, just zero response to pushing the power button.
I tried shorting the power pins together with my screwdriver, no change.
I am in the process of returning the processor, motherboard, and case to Amazon, and have placed an order with NEWEGG.com for the new build plan.
What am I doing wrong?
What can I do to make sure my new plan goes better?
