    500GB SATA3 860 EVO or 250GB M.2 970 EVO?

    You have two different technologies here. The M.2 drive resembles a flash drive and you have to make sure you MB supports it. An NVMe drive could be several times faster than a standard SATA SSD. http://www.velocitymicro.com/blog/nvme-vs-m-2-vs-sata-whats-the-difference/

    Can't POST after failed OC

    Oh oh, that generally means the CPU is having an issue. Unfortunately, with a TR, its difficult to just pop in a cheaper, base CPU to make sure the board is good.

    What should i upgrade?

    There may be a new line of Nvidia graphics cards coming out, but I believe it's not an official word. Maybe wait? If you do decide to buy, now is a better time to for a new GPU, as the mining craze is dying now. It look like to me that you need a GPU that has 8 GB or more of Ram, then you should...

    Upgrading my CPU

    As long as the socket is the same and the chip is supported by your motherboard, you are good. Are you playing games? Intel has the best CPU for gaming, but the worst onboard graphics on the planet. I would pursue a new Coffeelake/GPU1070/80 setup. Or, if you find your have to replace your...

    PC doesn't start. Is Ram dead?

    Ram sticks can go dead on you for various reasons. Maybe a brown out at your house, or some other issue. Is the RAM stick still under warranty? If you still have your parts receipt, you should be able to get an RMA and replace it.

    Upgrading my system, power supply question

    Upgrading my system, power supply question

    You can try Microsoft Joulemeter. I have never used it, but have heard about it. There might be some other freeware tools you can use. Your x470 board and 2700X should be ok on power, but keep an eye on everything when you are gaming, as that 1060 and your system will be heavily taxed.

    Upgrading my system, power supply question

    Yes you can combine 4-pins for an 8-pin. And, its good your GPU is a 4-pin. Should be ok. Do you have RGB lights or multiple fans? You PC should be fine with this PSU, but I would keep an eye on the temp and how many watts you are pulling.
