    PCPartPicker has H110 boards for around 115$. This puts the 200GE less than 10$ cheaper. If I go for the more expensive R3 2200G or i3 8100, any favorite here in your opinion ?

    Cool ! Any reason to favor AMD over Intel ? Both CPUs are similarly priced and performance is comparable from what I've read. Maybe AMD's stock cooler is a bit better?

    Ok thanks ! Any thoughts on what motherboard to get (whether it's on intel or AMD's side) for a current gen CPU? Given I don't need much in terms of features, would the cheapest mini itx board at the time be alright?

    Hi all, I want to build a cheap mini ITX computer for my living room that will be used for browsing the web, watching 4K movies and not much else. I will not game on this computer ! The reason for mini ITX is that I already have an enclosure and a PSU for it, and I like the form factor. Since I won't be gaming on it, I figure I'll go for an integrated graphics solution. I'd need : CPU, Motherboard, RAM. (I already have an SSD and a HDD lying around). I thought about going for an i3 8100 or an 2200G, but I'd like your recommendations. Is there any chance I can find used parts on ebay? If so, what generation or what CPU should I be looking for? Performance wise, I had a FX-6300 with a GTX 960 for a while and it suited me well enough (the graphics performance doesn't really matter though). Note : I'm in Canada if any of that matters for used parts on Ebay...

    My external 1Tb WD hard drive fell from my desk. At first it showed up in file explorer, but I couldn't open any files. I can't remember the error message exactly but it had something to do with file directory. I rebooted everything and now it doesn't show up in file explorer. When I open disk manager, it prompts me to initialize the disk. If I'm not mistaken, I should not do that since it would format it. In disk manager, it shows as unallocated. The drive contains mainly movies and music that I want to keep (around 500Gb). Is there a solution to repair it? I don't mind having to buy a program for that as long as it's not too expensive. Many thanks

    The razer blade 14 would be so cool !

    Thank you all. Seeing that the Thinkpad is better built and seems to have an ok screen I think I'll tell her to go for this despite not having great gaming performance... If I find one with decent integrated graphics it looks like it might work though.

    Let's say she drops the gaming aspect. Her best bet would be a Thinkpad ?

    Hey there, My girlfriend is looking for a new laptop for school and I thought I'd check here for advice. We live in Canada and her budget is between 600$ and 700$ CAD. She's going to be using it for web browsing, office applications, watching movies and stuff. Oh and she wants it to run The Sims 4... She doesn't really want a Chromebook and prefers Windows. She's looking for solid build quality, nice looks and something that's going to last her a couple years. Thanks! Edit : touchscreen is not a must have either
