To be honest, it won't be much better than your stock heatsink (if at all). I'd recommend spending a bit more money and getting something from Cooler Master, Noctua, or Cryorig as they produce some of the most reliable CPU coolers. Especially in the low profile category if that's what you're...

The 5T will provide sufficient cooling for most any component. Yes, it won't be as cooled as the very open 780T, but unless you're running more than 2 GPUs and have the shoddiest fans, the 5T should be just fine. You'll mostly be restricted by the components you use rather than the case itself...

^ As they said. Try running each slot by itself to make sure every slot on your mother works. Then try running a confirmed working slot with each stick of RAM. If everything works then it could just be poor initial installation and contacts weren't completely being made, there could be an XMP...

Intel (so far) is much better for gaming due its better single threaded performance, but if you're looking for overall raw performance, the Ryzen outscores the i5 in almost any category due to it just simply having more threads. It will definitely depend on what tasks you plan on using your PC...

So trying to update this pos motherboard's BIOS and it says it 'cannot detect USB Drive' although I clearly see every single USB Drive I've plugged into it in the bootable menu list so I know the board recognizes it. No idea what the issue could be.

Definitely Ryzen for the Streaming aspect. As long as you know, the rest of the build is entirely up to you and something you can really work at with PCPartsPicker. Although I ask that you find a more reliable PSU than the one listed above; anything EVGA (that isn't their X00B series), Corsair...

Contrary to popular belief, CS:GO is relatively CPU intensive as a Pentium has its issues with it. I'd recommend the cheapest, yet modern, i5, or Ryzen 5 (when it comes out) chip. Even a hyperthreaded i3 will work, but I believe that an i5 will get you more bang for your buck. As for GPU, a 1050...

There are many software that can show temps as well as other information. For purely CPU temperature, I'd recommend CoreTemp or RealTempGT. Both of which are useful and have a minimize option that hides the windows and displays temps in your taskbar. For GPU temperatures, MSI Afterburner or any...

Generally, Cherry MX Reds are most used among gamers for their linear switches. The linearity means that the switch bounces back faster and is better for people who have to quickly press the same key multiple times in succession, or at least within a small time frame. Blue switches, although...
