Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Like "want to be sure your house is clean - build new one". No, new system is new system, OP asks for current system.

What is your experience in cybersecurity?

 

Can you use some basic tools to get most items... sure. Can you (with lots of experience) do a full forensic analysis and remove it all... sure.

 

The first will leave remnants of the malicious software and is only as good as the heuristics and/or definitions it uses.

 

The second takes a good amount of time and is prohibitively expensive if you pay to have it done.

 

There is a reason we reimagine machines. There is also a reason people should be backing up any data they don't want or cant stand to lose. Storage is cheap and there are many options out there to fit every use case.

 

I mean if you are properly backing up the things you need... then a format and reinstall isn't bad. If you are concerned over future bandwidth use or the time it would take to download everything then you can just get all the stuff you want on there and make a golden image of your own to use if you do need to reimage.

We're taking about "how to be sure that you're clean". We can agree that freshly installed system is free of viruses, so there is no point to ask that question and discuss about it. No, real question is how to be sure you have no viruses on existing, working system. If you format all your drives and install new system, this question has no sense.

If your good at something never do it for free. Try having Avast/Bit defender with malwarebytes installed and up to date. Normally you can tell if something "Isn't right" with your PC. I also recommend reading Resource Monitor. This will let you see what is all using resources. And it allows you to drill down into every process. With some studying you can quickly learn to see whats normal and what could be malicious. Best practice to always have a backup of last know "GOOD" where the PC performed exactly how you wanted.
