Question Weird power up issue with new build....

I believe I found the issue..... Bad power button on the case. I realized that because when I was in windows a couple times I got the pop-up that windows was shutting down. So I disconnected the power switch and connected the reset button as the power switch and it's fine now....

[emoji23] Yea I hear yea but the lines need to be drawn somewhere. I was looking at the Raptors at being for for system usage and the 1TB I have for storage purposes for him...... IDK. This project is already costing more than I wanted to spend.

The Raptors in a raid 0 config is close enough in throughput speed to a single sata6.

My plan is to use the 2x Raptors in Raid0 and a 1TB Black I have. Also if 550.would be overkill why wouldn't my 430 still work fine?

What would you guys think as far as a PSU and DDR4 ram? I have an Antec True430 PSU which is probably not enough?

Thanks As of right now I found the i3-10100 on Amazon for 105 and an MSI Z490-A Pro for 160. I found someone locally selling an Asus 1660 Super NiB for 300 so I made an offer. We'll see. I need to look into RAM now too. Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk

Yes sir, it's a P-IV 3.40ghz. I was looking at the i3-10100 after some light reading last night with a 1660 as you mentioned. I would also have to get a MB and RAM (Recommend?). Do you think I would need to get a new PSU? I'd like to reuse everything also if I can.
