Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately they had no impact on the issue.
Only application I run is Asus AI suite for fan control, I did not have Origin in game active, but I did change Nvidia from optimal to maximum performance.

The Red Scarf 2 would suit your needs, you will have to search for one though as the last drop is over... or find a proxy and get from a Chinese website.

Standoffs and all other internals should just be snug, as stated before ram will fit only one way
Another tip is before completely snugging the standoffs test fit the graphic card.
After you build a few it will all be second nature, then you get to learn the art of wire management.
Poker with a weighty Hammer or FMJ case, Blue or Brown switches, GMK caps
Not the best for people who need a 10 key, but for all other purposes the 60% is superior in my opinion.
It will take some adjusting to get used to it, but once you grasp the layers your mouse will be free to roam.
These are the last Razer mice that were quality products
Notable mentions: (no pictures didn't save them)

I have tried a great number of Razer mice over the years, most recently the Razer Mamba & Mamba Tournament Ed.... they all had tracking problems with in...
I have been using B&W MM1's for about 4 + years with an early i7 Xeon & 4790K and haven't seen any performance issues.
But if your just after an amp for your headphones I agree just a USB dac will suit you fine.
An AudioQuest DragonFly black is close to your price range.
