So I just did a clean installation of Windows 10 on my new pc and after installing the motherboard's drivers, I head to Windows Update to make sure my Windows are updated. But it refuses to connect to the server. Trying to fix the problem, I did another clean install of Windows a few hours ago...

And this will make a very decent gaming pc as well, considering you buy a good gpu.

Yes I think that this is the way to go. Save some money on the extras, buy some storage to be safe, because I think some data loss would be very unpleasant in what you are doing.

I don't know if you have a particular use for the audio card but it is unnecessary for what you mentioned. The main parts are good, you may want to save some money on the power supply, 550-600 watts should be more than enough. You should also think about connecting the pc to the Internet via...

Just opt for the cheapest of the two, their performance is very similar. If their price is close though (10-20$), go for the second as it will be supported for longer since it's newer than the other.

Before anything, there should be a kind of a flat battery thing near the gpu, try taking that out and putting it back in and see if it works. If that doesn't work, does the mobo make any sound? If it does and it isn't the usual *beep* ,which means it posted correctly, it means it has run into a...

It's probably a problem with the new nvidia drivers or you just messed a little with the settings of the card. Try installing an older update of nvidia drivers and undo any overclock of the card.

I know it's probably gonna sound weird, the thing I'm about to ask but it's the best solutions I can think of. I have the case mentioned above and I want to watercool my CPU. I want maximum airflow, so going with recommended configuration (small case on top of the big one), doesn't really suit...

Thanks mate. Problem solved and everything is running perfectly fine.

For how much time should I have the cmos out of the computer?

I was just changing some settings in my computer through bios (nothing special, just the boot sequence, boot by keyboard and some stuff like "amd cool n quiet". After save and exit, the computer restarted and since that both keyboard and mouse don't respond and more annoyingly, neither does my...
