SalTheBard posted:Is it worth it to buy anything computer related right now? I haven't looked recently but have prices gone crazy with corona virus factory closings? I'm wanting to upgrade my storage to NVME's but when I built my computer 2 years ago it was during the time that RAM was stupidly over priced, I don't want to make that same mistake again. PCPartpicker has a price history when you select components, I just did a build and everything seems stable right now. When the components were to arrive if I ordered is another thing...

Howdy folks, I’m building a new computer as I got a nice bonus coming this month, and figure it’s a good time to get a new build.
Here’s my build, I’m mainly concerned about storage (1TB for SSD, 2TB on 7200rpm for storage I think is fine). I’ll need to add a wireless card as well. PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor ($174.99 @ B&H) CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($39.99 @ B&H) Motherboard: ASRock B450M PRO4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($83.98 @ Newegg) Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($77.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Western Digital Blue 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($118.63 @ B&H) Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($119.99 @ Adorama) Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB WINDFORCE OC 3X Video Card ($489.99 @ Newegg) Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case ($74.99 @ Newegg) Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA GA 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($74.98 @ Newegg) Total: $1255.53 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-04-01 18:13 EDT-0400 Any issues with this build? Seems fine overall, or if I’m skimping / overpaying on something, I haven’t built a computer since 2013.

I have an old tube of Artic Silver 5 that's probably about 10 years old. Is that okay to use or should I toss it and use the stuff that comes with my CPU?

I can't find any rubbing alcohol around me. Is there an option for cleaning off thermal grease from a CPU that doesn't involve rubbing alcohol?
