Any suggestions on PSU if I go with the bundle I linked?

I have a MicroCenter near me. What do you think of getting this bundle instead and keep my current SSD, PSU? $400 tax included. https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006968/amd-ryzen-7-7700x,-gigabyte-b650-gaming-x-ax-v2,-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle Would...

Wow thanks for the build! What made you choose these parts in particular?

I was running a used RTX 3060 Ti 8GB on my system for 4 months and then all of my sudden, my computer wouldn't boot. Black screen. I took it to a local PC shop and they told me they were only able to boot successfully once out of ten attempts. They tested the GPU on their test PC and the GPU is...

Thanks for the help. May take it to a shop but not sure if it's worth the $$$ to fix this issue if it happens intermittently. And even when it does happen, I just need to wait another 1-2 minutes which is completely fine. I'm more concerned if this causes any long-term damage. If it's just...

MemTest86 did not find any errors. Passed everything. Any other ideas?

To clarify, I have 4 x 8 GB. Does that change how you suggest I test?

Thanks for your suggestions here. I was running it at DDR3-1600 originally so I backed down to DDR3-1333. But I still got the b1 error code after shutting down 3 times. Didn't get the code the first two times, but got it on the third. Still got through fine though after 1-2 minutes. Here's...

I did in my reply above. It's Thermaltake Smart M 750W PSU. Unless you're looking for something more specific about my PSU? It seems like it can cope? According to GPU-Z, it's at 19-20% power consumption while web browsing and such. While gaming, it's at 30%.

Sure here's full specs. Mobo: Asus Z97-Deluxe PCI-Express 3.0 (8.0 GT/s) CPU: Intel i7-4470 @ 3.40 GHz, 3401 Mhz, 4 Cores, 8 Logical Processors GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB RAM: Kingston 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3 933MHz PSU:Thermaltake Smart M 750w Note: I was...

A friend gifted me their Nvidia RTX 3060Ti 8GB. About 25% of the time when I power on the computer from shutdown, the mobo reads "b1" and gets stuck on the Asus logo for 1-2 minutes. Then, it gets to the login screen and works fine. Most of the time it boots quickly in less than a minute with...

I got a RTX 3060Ti 8GB and tried to install it but got black screen / no display signal. When I use my CPU graphics, it displays the GPU in my Device Manager with a code 43 error. What I've tried already: Different PCIe slots Verified that GPU is seated all the way Verified that power cables...
