TechNutz- I want to propose a hypothetical exercise that I think will be a lot of fun. Let’s say that today is your lucky day, I gave you $1000 to shop and buy the necessary hardware to build yourself a custom gaming PC. It doesn’t matter whether you are an AMD fan, Intel fan, or so on and so forth. How would you have spent your cash and what are your reasonings behind your selections?
What is better Ryzen or Intel? Choosing a processor for a PC can be a daunting task, especially if you're new to computing.
The ThinkStation P360 Ultra is a tiny beast.
120GB just for a boot disk seems a little much for me, if you really feel the need for an SSD at all then save some more money and get something smaller like a 32GB one.
This PC would be a lot cheaper if you went to Newegg.
$1,000 for what is essentially a PS4 with a superior CPU and Windows OS is not worth it.
1. You won't need the i5 with a 660. An i3-3220 would do and save you almost $100
2. HD7850 GPU would be a good AMD choice, and save you $25
3. There's no need for a motherboard that expensive, ASRock H77 will do and save $50
4. SSD can be optional and save $100, but if you have the budget GET IT.
5. The rest is pretty much standard although you can shop around and save on them.
In the end that'll save you $175 (keeping the SSD) giving you a similar build at just over $800. Or you can spend that extra $175 on a CPU and GPU upgrade above the next consoles.
I'm trying to put Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) RAM in my HP 620 laptop but my laptop doesn't even start when I put it in.
1. Do I take the stickers off the memory modules?
2. Is it incompatible with my laptop?
