I am currenlt at the very beginning on act 2 on console. That's when I start to look for info and I learned that many things in this game can be improved if on pc. I got this free with PS+ but I am considering paying the discounted price to own it on PC and get some mods for buffing and bug fixes (which I am told become prevalent very soon)

I was planning on making a Mounted Greatsord Wielding Paladin, but I haven't even found a mediocre Greatsword (Cold iron or Masterwork not both) by the ending of Kenabres. I am Lv. 5 and I want to pick my Weapon Focus soon and I would like to know if Greatswords are worth it at all or if I should jump ship. I have been using Marching Terror as My 2 hander for a while now.
Note, I don't care for spears.
I just finished upgrading much of my PC. I now have:
Rx 9060 Xt ; Ryzen 5600 (wraith Fan) ; Asrock Phantom Gaming PSU ; 32 Gb Ram 3600 (Crucial Ballistix) ; B450m/ac.
I used MX-4 Arctic Thermal Compound. But feel like my PC is still a little hot.
Using HWInfo when Task Manager, Hw Info, and Snipping tool are the only active programs with 3% CPU and 15% Memory:
I don't know how to read this but I feel like my Idle is too high. is this normal?
Is this the proper temp, a little overheating or a problem? Is this from not putting enough paste or is this just fine?
After finalizing my prepared spells, I realized that I have A Lot of Concentrations spells, Namely: Vex, Bane and Blade Ward for Warlock, and Bless for Paladin. I will be getting Shield of Faith for free as I will be a Devotion Paladin. What Concentration spells should I consider cutting? I like Blade Ward (because it is free) and Bless a lot, but Vex and Bane have their strengths.
I am trying to install 3 MF120 Halo2 fans onto my PC but I don't really get it. The old and dying fans I got right now are Skytech with this written: 12025L 12H DC12V
How do I swap ou the fans and where do I plug it in? My current fans use the Pata from my PSU but I am unsure if that is accurate. I have 1 RGB Header and ADDR Led Header
My DM mentioned the idea of custom species and I thought about a custom Aasimar sub race. The idea is that they pull apon a cosmic/eldritch/ancient power of the night rather than a typical angel.
Mechanically, this swaps the Healing hand and Light cantrip for 1/2 Eldritch Evocation(s) as the Night is an eldritch/great being.
Edit: Now it is only 1 evocation, that is Pact of Chain with Sphinx of Wonder. To keep it on theme.
Is this too strong? I haven't seen any Species/ origin feat provide an eldritch invocation, but I like the idea of a group that has a profound connection to an ancient being getting a small bit of power.
Appearance Ideas: (My apologies if these are AI, for some reason I have a hard time spotting it on Pinterest)

What are the difference between these 4 Ryzen 5 5600 Products?
Are the boxless ones, just no fans? Or is there more to it? What is Zen 3 and does the Ryzen 5600 not normally have it?

I am trying to update my cpu and cpu an I want to know if there is anything that doesn't work. Also anything that I should look at.
The full budget: $1057 (but that leaves out mother board, monitor, case, and memory that I own already
Use: mainly 1440p gaming and college homework

I was having discussion about the PC I am building and my family says that I should wait for Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales for either parts or prebuilts with what I am trying to buy. For reference I am looking to buy:
Ryzen 5 5600 $168
32 gb (16x2) DDR4 ram $160
Onix Lumi B580 12 gb $309 or RX 9060 XT 16 Gb $450
I am also looking at upgrading my Motherboard (B450M/ac) AM4 for about $100 - $200 but I am on the fence.
I am planning on buying parts to upgrade my currwnt prebuilt pc, but some family members told me that black friday pre-builts will be cheaper than buying parts to upgrade my system.
I was looking at :
Cpu: Ryzen 5 5600 $168
Ram: 32 gb (16x2) 3600 mhz $160
Gpu: Onix Lumi B580 12 gb $309 or RX 9060 XT $460
$637 or $788
Can I get similar value at around this price for product on Black Friday? I remember hearing that Black Friday isn't what it used to be.
I am deciding between these 2 and I wanted to know if this upgrade is worthwhile or excessive.
I am looking at using an Intel arc B580 GPU to upgrade my pc, but 309 while cheap in comparison , is more expensive than it was earlier. What version is recommended if there is one, and what price should I expect/wait for?
I just about finished upgrading my build, but I think my pc can use a new motherboard.
Current Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6pgK7w
Upgraded Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DMnMFP
What would you recommend?
P.S. the cooler is actually a "AMD Wraith Stealth Socket AM4 4-Pin Connector CPU Cooler with Aluminum Heatsink & 3.93-Inch Fan (Slim)" but I couldn't find it on the site.
Trying to upgrade my GPU and CPU, and I am considering Intel ARC B580 but I am unsure if it would work with my currently planned CPU upgrade Ryzen 5 5600. Should I swap the Ryzen 5 5600 for a different CPU or the B580 for a different GPU.
Current Components, please tell me if there is something else I need to share that's important for this decision
I am trying to update from version P1.50 to 10.60 and I wanted to know what Bios I should get in between those to handle this as safely as possible. I would also like to know if upgrading from P1.50 is worth the risk as I have been informed that Bios can Brick motherboards and now I am a little scared.
https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B450Mac/index.us.asp#BIOS
I have a ASRock B450M/ac that is on version P1.50 and I want to update to 10.60. The only thing I touched in the BIOS is Secureboot to enabled and set to standard. All Bios options that are on the ASRock Website are labelled don't use if you have a Pinnacle Ridge which I do CPU: "AMD Ryzen 5 2600X". So if my system allows me to make that jump from P1.50 to 10.60 will there be complications?
I have been informed of bridge Bios but I don't know which are the Bridge Bios as the descriptions didn't scream "Necessary prior to getting a new version.
