General: ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS! Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor. The Ryzen lineup comes with surprisingly good stock coolers. consider using them over any
I've had good luck with TP-Link products. They tend to get the job done.

It's finally all working!
Except my second monitor
Which only works for bios for some reason

Something something Larrabee.

I might as well ask this here. My GPU is roughly 4 years old and I need to change the thermal paste. It is a Gigabyte GTX 770 4GB, but I don't think they let you get access to the heatsink. I've tried to unscrew the screws on the back, but to no avail; the screws are very tight, and nearly impossible to get out. Please help!

Why not just get a new one?
Camden Harris
Not really a need, it still works fine, it just runs a little hot

There's nothing worth seeing. The case is the same Fractal R4 I've had for years.
Ram fucking costs too much these days. When will it be going back down?

CPUs: >G4560/G4600 - Budget builds (7400 / r5 1500x - same price, but r5 is 4 cores / 8 threads. 7400 is about 5% faster in single threaded, but slower in everything else. >7500 / r5 1600 - both are priced similar. 7500 5% faster single threaded but slower in everything else. 7500 is quad core only while 1600 is 6 core / 12 threads. >7600k / r5 1600x - 7600k is unlocked quad core only and again, 10-15% faster in single threaded depending on clock rate. 1600x is 6 cores, 12 threads. 1600x is faster in everything else and even in decently threaded games. which is pretty much every single game for the last two years. >7700k / r7 1700 - 7700k is 4 cores / 8 threads. also unlocked. identical to 7600 i single threaded performance. intel reconmends to not overclock. uses tim between its heatspreader. 7700k will be about 10-15% faster in single threaded peformance at 4.5ghz and above and loses in everything else. 1700 is 8 cores and 16 threads. can be ovclocked to 3.6 - 3.9ghz easy. >xeon, i9, threadripper, 1800x - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use; Not for just gaming only butthurt intel fags backed by fake news from toms hardware whos an offical paid, and endorses intel sponsor rebut those claims.

You must be trying to View it with an Intel® build

What fans should I use to replace standard GPU fans with? I'm looking for a used 570 (580 if I can get one) and I know they have been used for mining, meaning the fans are probably shit.

Should I pull the trigger on this?
I'm uncertain about the TN panel, but I guess this is the more affordable option as opposed to IPS @ 144.
Where are the AMD cpu's? All these Intel recommendations seem horrible
