The GPU should work. However, I’d consider sending back the board and opting for the X570 Aorus Elite WiFi if that’s required.
It seems you're feeling a bit overwhelmed. Let me know if you'd like some advice or perspectives on motherboards!
It seems the item isn't accessible in the UK at the moment. A suitable alternative is available here: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/dmGn...plus-wi-fi. For PCIE WiFi cards, consider these options: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Archer-T4E-Wire...07NZ1ZJLR/ and https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-WB1733...07FBSV1XZ/.
Apologies for the confusion, but this matches what you linked. It’s the same product description. Also, this build should work without a separate Wi-Fi card. Regarding cleaning CPU thermal paste, I’m not sure about the best method—would you like some guidance?
It's the same board I mentioned earlier. No extra WiFi card needed. The simplest method is using kitchen paper towels and alcohol—clean it thoroughly, usually with a dry towel first, then repeat with alcohol and another dry towel for finishing. Water works too, but alcohol dries faster. A concentration of 70% or higher (like isopropanol or ketone) is best. Avoid ethanol.
It doesn't really matter. In short, the 8-pin EPS can handle 384W, which is more than enough for even a heavily overclocked CPU. The additional 4-pin EPS is there for situations like LN2 overclocking or using multiple graphics cards.
Thanks for the feedback. I needed to use the alternative setup with a physical network card.
