  1. It depends on the games you play. https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_5_1400/12.html This at standard clockspeed. A GTX1080 is little slower than a Vega 64. I don't see why you would want to compare a 32nm cpu to a 14 nm cpu though.
  2. That's because one is 8th gen and the other 7th. That's not a fair comparison.
  3. 2fps difference while streaming is not worth €100 more to me.
  4. For gaming frequency is more important than cores. You can get an expensive xeon with 32 cores but it will be shit compared to i7 6700(k). Because you can OC an i5 8600k higher FPS will be better. HT is not beneficial for gaming.
  5. i5 8600k is best for gaming. If you want to OC 8600k is better because you can probably hit a higher frequency than i7 which primarily games benefit from.
  6. lol And I'm still trying to get Minecraft working on the school computers
  7. I'm going with the Seasonic S12II-Bronze 430W since that one is in the good section and it's just €57,80. CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor New for €178,80 ($203,35) Motherboard: ASRock B85M-DGS Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard New for €54,35 ($61,81) Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory I already own Storage: Western Digital Caviar Green 1.5TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive I already own Video Card: Club 3D Radeon R9 280X 3GB royalKing Video Card Used for €146 ($166,05) Case: Cooler Master N300 ATX Mid Tower Case New for €45,90 ($52,20) Power Supply: Seasonic S12II-Bronze 430W New for €57,80 ($65,74) Total: €482,85 ($549,15) Thanks for your help!
  8. Thanks, what should I get an Antec VPF Series 450W or a Cooler Master GM G450M? I prefer the Cooler Master because of sleeved cables and it's partially modular. My next upgrade is gonna be a BX100 250gb I think.
  9. I was thinking about building a new PC, I am going to use some components I already have and buy used.

  11. 12(2 years ago), one for my grandma. I had to go there every week so I told her that I could built her computer. Of course this wasn't gonna be a PC for basic use but for gaming. She didn't knew shit about computers so I told her 500 euros was a good price. She bought all the parts and I put it together(I have to say that it was pretty easy). Nowadays I'm repairing iPhone screens, about the same thing as building a PC but more precise. I make $20 every screen I replace what takes about an hour. It's a lot more my friends make at the supermarket.
  12. I forgot to buy an SSD mount so I just put it in with one screw
  13. I clean it once a year, when it's making a strange noise and when I'm getting BSOD's every few hours.
  14. Thought that too, till I saw his 20tb+ SSD server video
  15. When people are having an HDTV and an HD cable receiver but connected it via fucking RCA! But the worst thing is that they too stubborn to even try HDMI. They are like "My TV is not compatible" while there is a Full HD logo on the tv itself. They eveen bought a separate AV adapter for their PS3 because they still think their TV is not compatible. Some of my classmates still thinks the actual computer is in the monitor.
  16. If you get a DVB-S(2) tuner you can receive all the unencrypted channels. If you also want to watch encrypted channels you need one with a CI slot (ex. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Interface-partitioned-windows-software-bootable/dp/B00ELJ7TQY/ref=sr_1_46?ie=UTF8&qid=1431978509&sr=8-46&keywords=dvb-s2)
  17. Take a look at this. It's a wifi music receiver, it even supports optical. They are $21 a piece. I'm not sure if you can output to 2 speaker from 1 device like Sonos.
  18. No, optical doesn't support lossless. Edit: You can also buy a HDMI S/PDIF audio extractor so you don't need to run the optical but still have an optical output.
  19. Why do you need optical? HDMI can transfer better quality audio.
  20. Yes you can use Wake on LAN or an IR Receiver (ex. FLIRC)
  21. Maybe you should ask this on a Kodi forum, since these are very Kodi-related questions. There is probably no internet browser for Kodi because it is only made to be a media center. I know that Kodi can take USB input and HDMI-CEC.
