Believe only wired, not sure if that changed. I only used a XBONE or 360 controller.

I have a wired 360 controller. It has usb on it right?

My buddy bought an RX580 the Aorus XTR version about 3 months ago for a new build and it's still unused.
I keep telling him to sell it, he bought it for I think $270 from Amazon and they currently go for $600+ but he still hasn't listed it.

Android tablets? I have the nVidia Shield from 2014 but want a new tablet just for my revised Clash of Clans addition.
Now I do not do iOS. But we have no options I can see for Android.
Pixel C is the only Android option out there? But the thing is 2yrs old.

he needs to sell that yesterday.
this craze wont last forever and eventually when this fizzles out, there will be a flood of used GPUs on the market.

Yeah.. remember what, 2013?

Yep, back when I got a pair of R9-290s for a steal, and gave some posters some pretty good deals on my R9-270X's and 280X.

I've got a question for something down the road....
SLI / Cross fire - how big of a difference is it with 2 video cards running? is it more for multiple monitors, say if i want to expand to dual monitors?
The addition should not overload my power supply. I would expect everything else would work fine. I may need more than 8gig RAM to go with the second card?

Has nothing to do with multiple monitors, which you can run with a single card. It will increase GPU performance by splitting the workload between the two. Doesn't double performance. In the best of cases, it will give you an additional 85-90% boost -- tons of caveats there, though. The game has to support multiple GPUs (a lot do, but quite a few do not), and even then, it has to support it well. Some games will claim to support crossfire or SLI but never use more than 50-60% on each GPU, or worse, will use under 50% per GPU.
VRAM can potentially bottleneck performance in certain conditions since games aren't yet pooling vram (i.e., 2 video cards with 4GB of VRAM each means you still only have 4GB of VRAM) -- So, If your single card can't push ultra textures, adding a second one probably won't help. That's why it's ideal to get the best single GPU you can afford, and don't SLI/Crossfire anything but top-tier cards.
Also, number of GPUs has no bearing on system memory.

well that answered my question.
i just need to stick with getting the best cards rather than two lower tier cards.
if i wanted to run two monitors, for example, 1 gaming while the other has internet running or something...what do i need to be concerned about hardware wise? RAM? ive got an AMD 8core 4.0ghz processor

RAM is probably the bigger concern, or just resources in general. The reason I have 16GB is I tend to keep a lot of shite open and don't want to close all my tabs just to play a game. I often play some mindless FPS on mute while I have netflix or youtube going on my other monitor.

i've got one stick of 8gb RAM, i may get another stick later on.
thanks

So I fire up the PC this afternoon and it's running unreal slow...check CPUZ and my 7700K shows 800MHz clock speed.
It then blue screens, so I reboot into bios and reset to default. Now it's running the PC repair shite but once again it's going in super slow motion like it's at 800MHz again so this has taken 15 minutes already.
I think my 7700K may be dying or I got some random bug. Wasn't on PC last night, haven't downloaded anything lately or touched any settings PC or Bios wise in months.
May be getting a 7800X after all.

Sooo... several things and probably not your CPU.
1. PSU
2. Corrupted MOBO BIOS
3. Windows issue(Re-Install)
Edt: I would start with reflashing the MOBO BIOS then look at PSU.
Also take out your BIOS battery on the motherboard and unplug for PSU to drain all stored BIOS.

Yeah if it ever finishes this damn restore I can troubleshoot a bit.
I did notice a new bios was posted, first one since like Nov 2016 so will try it first.

Did you have a power lost or quick shutdown?
BIOS can get corrupted pretty easily in those situations.
