i ran a 5 minute intel extreme cpu stress test on my 9700k with a d-15, it bounced between 50 and 60, is this normal for a d-15, just wondering if everything is fine or if i put the paste on wrong, i did struggle a little with the screws with springs on them

Right now I'm torn between a 2070 and 2080, brand doesn't matter to me. I already own the drives and I also own a 850w gold-rated PSU but it's 10 years old and I think I should replace it. Should I replace the HDD too if it's the same age?
I also have a feeling the PSU I picked out is overkill.
Also, I was considering a Define R6 for the case but if I can take this case, swap some fans and get similar noise with better airflow I'll do that.

Does using balanced or high power matter for power settings on desktop?

I have a fucking old PC which I still use, but the monitor is broken. My last monitor was a small 720p one, I'm thinking of buying a new 1080p monitor. How to know whether it's compatible with my old processor and gpu?
My pc has:
Intel Dual Core E2160
ATI Radeon x1550
3 gb of ram
I know that it's old, but I only use it for browsing and programming. And my saving is not enough yet to buy a whole set of new computer.

Forgot to add that it's for vidya, targeting 1440p/120-144hz for new games on at least high settings, but not necessarily super turbo ultra.

>that cpu, cooler, and motherboard
Intel fags will actually fucking defend this.

What's wrong with them?
I've only built 1 computer before and went with Intel that time, so I defaulted to it, but I'm not a loyalist.

Is there a significant difference in performance on Ryzen 2600 between 3000Mhz and 3200Mhz RAM provided CAS latency stays the same?

I play 144hz ultra on my 2600x really well, maybe get a 2700x but overall mobos for intel and that tower cooler are just insanely overpriced
