New Egg sent me the wrong one I ordered a 650 watt...

Would that be stopping my SSD and HDD not working. The rig seems to be running fine.

No it would not. It would only be a possible issue when putting the GPU under heavy load, like playing a game. Even then, those estimates are extremely conservative as it has to cover the possibility you might pair the card with a 9900KS processor.

Are you saying the BIOS does not recognize the drives? Have you checked the cables and moved them to different SATA ports? Some ports are commonly disabled when the system is configured in certain ways.

Have you installed Windows to the M.2 yet? Is it in Windows you don't see the drives? You won't until you format, create a volume and assign drive letters. You do that in Disk Manager

And yes, you should flash the BIOS to the latest version for the board if it's not already at that version. But it would not likely have any bearing on the problem you're having.

Okay so i got this setup a few days ago I should only be using about 453- 496 Watts of power with everything hooked up and maxed out 550 Watt works fine. I am using the Ryzen 5 3600X and RX 5700 XT so far they both to seem be doing fine.

The MOBO is what im worried about should i order a new one and leave MSI i hear lots of bad things about them.

The Bios is the lastet updated. I have installed windows and as i tpye this to you i am on that version. The Bios is not seeing the drives i have two 2.5 SSD's I have moved from SATA ports 4, 6 to 1 ,2 and nothing still i think the cables are furbared i checked the hdd on another machine i have they worked fine. I am at end and getting annoyed with this a friend recommended new SATA cables i ordered some they will be here sunday.

hope that answers the questions.
