Instead of making two posts, like this first one, why don't you make one thread and then ask each question in it?

Spoiler

Q: Do I have a virus?!
A: If you didn't click a sketchy email, haven't left your computer physically open to attack, haven't downloaded anything sketchy/free, know that your software hasn't been exploited in a new hack, then the answer is: probably not.

 

Q: What email/VPN should I use?
A: Proton mail and VPN are the best for email and VPNs respectively. (They're free in a good way)

 

Q: How can I stay anonymous on the (deep/dark) webzz???....

A: By learning how to de-anonymize everyone else; if you can do that, then you know what to do for yourself.

 

Q: What Linux distro is best for x y z?

A: Lubuntu for things with little processing power, Ubuntu for normal PCs, and if you need to do anything else then it's best if you do the research yourself.

 

Q: Why is my Linux giving me x y z error?

A: Have you not googled it? Are you sure StackOverflow doesn't have an answer? Does the error tell you what's wrong? If the answer is no to all of those, message me.

If you're gonna go 3 way SLI you'll wanna get the 5930K, it has more lanes.

Oh i thought i had to ask in the right sub categories? 

You could, but it'd probably be better to just put one thread into the build logs and planning place and ask all the questions there.  You are ok to put them in separate threads, since you are asking the specific questions, but it'd save you and us some time to put into one thread.  Looks like a nice build you have going there, have fun with it!
