Did you try all possible video outs on both cards. Sometimes windows will be picky about outputs on new builds until all the drivers get hammered out in updates. I’m assuming you have installed the latest Nvidea drivers too. EDIT: wrong post........

then MSI B450 Tomahawk Max then, normal Tomahawk is fine if you dont mind the simplified UEFI design.

B450 tomahawk Max is what I would get and don’t worry about overclocking the 3600, you won’t get anywhere with it. They have them pretty much maxed out from the factory and don’t overclock worth a damn. 

No cpu mobo or ram atm
