keep in mind, this is indeed NVME, but its DRAM-less

this should be solid:

is the Pcpp link your current build?

Most people may be fine sure not fully knowing what it means. But can you really recommend a dramless ssd. Me as someone who heavily cares about endurance can't.

Oh, alright. Yeah I'd do a fresh install.
 
Here's what I'd suggest going for: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/kVzkcf/adata-xpg-sx8200-pro-512-gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-asx8200pnp-512gt-c
For cheaper than that you can get a Kingston A2000, or a SATA drive like a Crucial MX500 or ADATA SU800.

Full disclosure: I'm not an electrician at all, but I've learned enough over the years to know when it's time for professional help.

Thanks a lot. I'll see what I can get done

Ok, that is a bigger problem. That's a fault within the circuit for your room, not just a GFCI tripping. Either a short or a high enough current load that it's at risk of overheating. 500W should never, never be enough to trip a breaker. Get an electrician out there asap.

If your sensitive to any MINFPS drops or see some drops vs expected results,... I'd hazard a try / comparison test.
I'm not saying its drastic,..or a big deal as I've not tested it.
But Ryzen and Ram speed is the real deal from the videos i've seen. (MinFPS Higher (closer to AVG) = Smoother perceived experience)

Keep in mind you could squeeze some more performance if you by chance can OC your 2666Mhz Memory to 3000/3200Mhz (even with semi loosened Memory timings)
Due to Ryzen Infinity Fabric speeds Syncing at half RAM speeds,...(1333 for 2666Ram vs 1500/1600 for 3000/3200Ram)

^ my 2c
My GTX1070 also does above 2Ghz (+195) Coreclock and while my Vram only gains 200Mhz and then artifacts, if using 1440p or below I doubt the small vram OC makes a huge difference, so I just run my Core OC now.
Bandwidth plays its part in High Res or when using Ultra Post processing, but the GPU is still beast for 1080p and 1440p Gaming.

Don't use Nvidia Geforce Settings (GFE Optimizations) - Many a thread gets created for it ruining/overwriting and performance tanking.

Enjoy Shadowplay/Share sections of GFE however... Capturing gameplay...
If its a little warm, use MSI Afterburner to up the fans a tad...
If temps good, but loud, opposite,..lower fanspeed if you want.

Test with Games, I'd expect 1950-2000Mhz Core OC, Vram is GPUtoGPU on what you get. Stock I'd expect 1800-1911Mhz Coreclock somewhere.
And some games might trip the OC when other games won't so give it plenty of games and long sessions to test stability over time,, if you OC that is.

Note that some games, Ultra preset globally in games is a HOG on some select settings, worth sussing Veryhigh or High in some titles for some specific settings to claw back gains you wouldn't notice visually otherwise. (Assassins Creed Odyssey Clouds Ultra vs Medium/High for Huge Gains to framerate)

Download MSIAfterBurner and may be doing some overclock, my 1070ti overclock really well especially in aircon room. Can easily reach over 2000 clockspeed and stable

No it does not, and I don't think the recommendations of waiting are necessarily valid. Yes, you'll probably get a better performing card if you wait, but with its sub $300, the 2060 is a great card for gaming, and I don't see the 3000 series having a similar priced GPU until 2021. Go on reddit hardwareswap for people offloading their 2060 for under $300, and you should be good until the entire 3000 series lineup is out, and the prices are balanced out.

people would think that you should slot in more GPUs or something like that
 
but personally, I would hire a butler to do that

lol, how about making an actually contributive comment to the discussion next time.

i'm seriously getting frustrated now. if i build a computer no matter what i get issues. my current pc (i3 8100, Z370-P, 16GB Ram and a few ssd's), is having super weird problems and i'm just sick of this custom pc space at this point. 
 
basically, i was getting some graphical glitching which went away and recenty came back, and it won't stay in sleep reliably. if i do that it'll turn on in the middle of the night. now, that doesn't sound like a big deal. i'm not expecting a dead gpu, since i can play the witcher 3 for hours with no crashing, lines on the screen or weird color glitching. however, it's recently developed a new fault. if i turn it on, there is a chance it'll beep at me that i don't have displays connected, even when i do have displays connected and it won't boot. i then need to unplug and plug displays back in until it decides it wants to work. also, the main screen does not turn on if i boot the machine. i have to turn it off from standby and turn it back on before it decides it's connected. 
 
i'm so sick of it. if this was an 8 or 10 year old computer sure, i'd expect issues. but this is a modern machine still!!! i'm just so done with this whole thing. i need a reliable computer, i have things to do. a machine that randomly decides it doesn't want to work anymore is unacceptable for me. 
 
i'm jsut so sick of it. why msut it be like this? i'm not even talking these issues specifically now, also Windows just deciding to break my gpu driver and i have to spend an hour to get it back to normal is just... why? why do we as customers accept this? 
 
i'm just at the point where i don't trust pc's anymore. at all. even if i build them myself and i know i didn't make a mistake, i just cannot rely on them. 
 
my only option right now is to unplug my pc entirely and plug my macbook pro into my setup. i don't want to do that, as my macbook pro is 8 years old and certainly not the fastest computer in the world anymore. however, say what you want about macbooks, but i got this one used 2 years ago. it's been in my backpack every day for 1.5 years to school, where it ran heavy compute tasks like VM's which would let it sit at 100% utilization for hours at a time. it's been my main computer for a while before when the pc i had at the time broke, so it was at school all day running heavy tasks and then plugged into my main setup at home and used heavily again. it's been through hell, dropped various times, sat in a damp backpack after a heavy rainstorm more than once, used on trains with loads of vibration while running at 90+ degrees if i had to finish schoolwork on my way home.... and it's still working flawlessly. it's only stopped working once which was my mistake, i broke the drive cable when swapping drives into it. apart form that which was a €10 and 15 minute fix, it's never let me down once. 
 
how do pc customers still accept that machines that are 3 or 4 years old get unstable, need OS reinstalls, whatever else, when the competition exists? how? 
 
sorry for my rant, i'm jsut annoyed that i put a bunch of money into a computer that's just a doorstop at this point. i cannot rely on it therefore it's useless. i'm currently living in a temporary situation and i don't have easy access to spare parts, because at my parents house i've started with packing up all my things. 
 
i'm just so lucky to own some apple products, which are the only thing that are ever reliable for me for some weird reason. i don't know if it's a curse or what, but i'm just done.
 
i will keep my pc and i will try to diagnose it but i'm just sick and tired of needing to practically babysit and cuddle my computer all the time, putting hours every month into fixing problems and bugs, when i have a macbook pro that has never let me down before and i can know for a fact when i press the power button that it will start up. i no longer have that confidence in my pc. 
 
so, the current pc i have will likely be my last. until it dies completely i will continue to play games on it, but i'm gonna just start saving up and buy a console when it inevitebly dies.

Or, if you aren't patient, just make the internal heat really hot by blocking all the fans, and maybe it'll die. 

If it ever doesn't do anything when turned on, check the power button.

I have a 486, does that count? It's got a totally rad AMD 5x86 @ 133MHz and 256K cache. Badass.

Lol my pc is pre built from 2000 anyone got a pre built rig that doesnt use integrated graphics and not an intel core i2

It opens a portal to the Linus Dimension - a parallel universe, where the only stores online and offline are LTTStore.com and the only drink in existence is cold fresh water.
Linus interrupts your dreams with sponsor segues, and in the waking world, 1000 miniature Anthonys follow you everywhere, telling you to use Linux.

You actually get double the compute power if you use HDMI 2.0, Userbenchmark just confirmed it.
 
No but really, connecting two HDMI-outs will do nothing, regarding OP's thought.

The PC absorbs all the compute power from the console.

What if i plugged a console HDMI into my graphics card? as i said. stupid thought i had haha

In sorry if this fourm is anti swear, but I have to share this. My PC died months ago. I turned it off and it never turned back on again. I've tested everything. Nothing looks wrong. I assume it's internal traces melted. No. I checked the power button. It's fine. ITS FINE. ITS FUCKING FINE!!! It was the power button! After months. I never. Checked. The. Fucking. Power. Button.
 
 
 
 
I hate myself.
