Question Ryzen 5 gaming build

Looks like I should go w/ the bundle - better system, slightly, cheaper as well, and the memory latency is really quite negligible. Unless the MoBo is not great - seems maybe okay?

Question Ryzen 5 gaming build

For playing BG3 on 2k gaming monitor. Some photo editing. Not looking to raise the budget above this $1,100 price point if I can help it. I've got some noctua NF-S12A FLX that I'll put in there and need to buy windows as well. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WN7Lsh

one of my colleagues recommended clonezilla for cloning bad sectors so maybe I'll give that a try.

Macrium Reflect Issues - HDD -> SSD Clone

I'm trying to move a smaller old HDD with Windows 7 (~700GB) that is pretty full (around 90%) to a new SSD that's a bit bigger (1TB). I keep getting an error when I'm close to done (95%+): error 9: error code 1117, I/O device error. I've ran chkdsk multiple times and it does mention that there...

First Build after 8+ years...

It seems more often than not you can assume modern motherboards can boot from M.2 I think? - https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/is-mobo-with-m-2-slot-capable-of-booting-off-it.3375677/ Also, this line in the MSI motherboard's manual seems to imply it: "If your system currently boots to M.2...

First Build after 8+ years...

Okay, a few changes: 1. I am thinking the MSI B450 Gaming Plus over the ASRock, really just because of the brand name. Although I'm not sure if it supports booting from the M.2!? 2. Power Supply 3. Windows 10 is more expensive than I thought. I want to make sure I get a legit key and I think I...

Motherboard failure or PSU failure?

Good thinking, it was worth a shot despite the Open Hardware Monitor app claiming battery voltage was fine. I'm a DIY EE, so I've got a component drawer full of them, but no dice. I did hear from the sage, Continuum on Ars, that PSUs are pretty affordable these days but I don't have anything on...

Motherboard failure or PSU failure?

After getting the advice that saving the PSU isn't worth it even if it's good, the only remaining calculus was just replacing the PSU in the off chance that it was the only bad component. At a minimum it would've been awesome to get it up and running quickly while I figure out new components and...
