FFS, incompatible somewhere (Patreon)

TLDR: I'm back to my old computer, effectively. Ol' reliable. Mi amigo. Readjusting the budget after returns.
Heck with it, I spent the last week trying to figure out what's going on, but something in this big ol' pile of new parts is incompatible or something, I've triple-checked everything, drivers, software, firmware, power usage, hardware, compatibility lists, etc. but I can't figure it out.
I even did something I normally don't do and checked with an old PC tech friend of mine, who gave me a line about how Windows 10 and Chromium-based browsers are the devil, and used his equipment to test everything. No dice.
So as a bandaid fix, I kept the new case and power supply, and I'm returning all the new parts. Once everything's returned, I'll readjust the budget (should be somewhere around $500-$600 again) then go back to checking sales and such.
Not gonna lie, I probably blame Ryzen, as they're really good CPUs, but have a lot of weird incompatibilities that may or may not be fixed by BIOS updates.
Still, saving the PSU and case, when I DO try to build from scratch again, I'll have a good place to put everything and have more than enough power input to cover anything I pick.
