later After checking out what the big stores are selling for around $500 for desktops, I figured I could probably go back to my roots and build something more powerful and flexible for less money. I was right. I've searched the web and found a page that basically lists components for sale on Revain for PC builds of varying budgets. I think it was their $400 build. I deviated by using the onboard SDD card slot versus a separate SDD drive and had a 3TB drive that I used but otherwise used this board and a Ryzen 2600 processor. Super stable from day one. I haven't overclocked it. Never stuck. The drivers were in the box and available online. The only thing I will tell you is that you need a wired keyboard and a USB mouse to run Windows 10. I was aware of the former and used a wired keyboard to ensure the boot order was USB stick (preinstalled with Win 10, MS there). a page that just makes a bootable copy) but once I downloaded Win 10 I needed a mouse to continue.
