PC Build Advice/Review II: 5090 or Bust.

You can. I've observed though that monitors improve technologically/get cheaper over time. It might be wise to sit on the whole idea until you can get both. Just thinking out loud.

I really need at least a 2k monitor to upgrade from the POS I have now.

[xElipsis]

I'd probably wait to get into 4k monitors. There is only one >60hz monitor and it's $5000. I thought I read that the 1070 was getting max of 70-90 FPS on AAA-titles on ultra settings, is that correct? *For 1440p 144hz monitors. Have you checked /r/monitors?

[Zetanio]

Build isn't going well.

I don't know how to install the motherboard.

Got the thermal paste and cooling fan installed (I think)
but I only have 2 mobo standoffs?

Please help.

[Arkanna]

Standoffs, if not part of the case, always come with the case. Your case should have plenty of places to screw in standoffs. Pics?!

[Zetanio]

All fixed but I can't boot Windows because it's got the settings from my old mobo.

[Arkanna]

Sometimes you get lucky with that, sometimes you don't. :/

Gonna have to scoot up to the office and grab my thumb drive

[Zetanio]

Thumb drive, doesn't work. I'm getting "a required cd/DVDs drive device driver is missing

[DrClout]

Those 2 drivers are different. Make sure the USB ports are connected properly.

I ran into a somewhat similar problem on this z170 board. I reburned the images to the flash and it worked.

Hope that helps

USB is fine. I just burned the image to the thumb drive and got back home. What drivers are supposed to be on there? I just put the win7 image on the usb after making it bootable. I don't want to go all the way back to the fucking office again.

[DrClout]

I honestly couldn't tell you. We built virtually the same damn pc. I just went through this exact situation 2 days ago. I have 2 win 8.1 USB sticks and 1 win 10. None of them worked til I reimaged them.

Did you use NTFS or FAT32?

[DrClout]

Ntfs

:\ Hmmm
gonna have to try another solution on Monday when I get back into the office.

I'm not sure what drivers I'm missing on the thumbdrive though.

[DrClout]

Wish you luck. I know how frustrating this could be

Do you happen to be installing onto an SSD?

For what little it's worth, I had a similar problem putting Win10 on a new machine with an SSD. Told me or didn't have some proper drivers to install onto the SSD from a fresh format, so I had to install onto the HDD, automatically update to find whatever drivers, then install on the SSD, boot from that, Windows update, and reformat the HDD.

Think I ended up having to install Windows like 6 times overall to get it to work.

[Yabby]

don't use 3.0 usb, sometimes causes that error

[Zetanio]

I only have the SSD to work with. I've been using only the 2.0 USB slots after googling the problem.

Also make sure to have a cocktail on hand. My vast experience of building and drinking has shown its better this way.
