Thanks for all the responses. They were very helpful. Here is what I ended up building: Mobo: ASUS Prime X470-Pro CPU: Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7GHz 8-Core RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2 x 16GB DDR4-2666 PC4-21300 C16 Video: ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Disk: Samsung 970 EVO 500GB TLC NAND M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G3 750 Watt 80 Plus Gold ATX Fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Universal CPU Cooler It's running FreeBSD head. BIOS version is 4018 (2018-07-12). So far, it has been perfectly stable. No crashes, no lockups. It has been my work-from-home desktop for just over a week now. I'm overclocking the memory a little, but nothing else. The NIC works. The sound works, though I've only tested the rear analog output. The video card works with the nvidia-driver, currently 390.87. It's driving two 2560x1440 monitors over HDMI. The only problem so far: I can't get NUMA enabled. I've set Memory Interleave to "off", but the BIOS still doesn't generate an ACPI SRAT table. I'm still working on this. Eric
