Ordered new internals for my rig last night. Would you guys recommend doing a fresh install of Windows or do you just uninstall the drivers that went with your previous build? What complications have you seen with just doing the driver changes? I'm swapping out my gpu, cpu, and mobo. I'll be going from intel to amd with this new build.

Looking at this external hard drive

WD - easystore® 4TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black

Looks like a great deal. I'm contemplating as using it for a backup hard drive on my build, I got an ssd to put in there only. Or I can use it as a backup storage for gaming. Can I use the hard drive for both ps4 and xbox1 or it has to be only on one system?

Anybody have the new Ryzen 1800x? If so how is the performance of the chip?
Im about to do a full Ryzen build within the next month. From all my research the best price/performance is the 1700. I don't even see that many 1800x builds on YouTube. I'm personally spending the money I save on going with the 1700 to build a water-cooling setup.
