I don't think you understood what I wrote, where in my very lived personal experience I seen how much HT can be beneficial for gaming (even if indirectly), so... I'm not sure... honestly you just seem to wish people to say yes go ahead get the i5 8600K because of the money you'll save.
 
Truth be told unless you're getting the 1080 Ti you could pair any other GPU with the i5 8400 and hardly bottleneck any thing if at all.

Projector reviews

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.

A Russian man came into the store where I work and explained that he wanted a SATA data splitter cable because he didn't have enough SATA ports on his motherboard. When I informed him that no such cable exists and suggested he try an I/O card solution to add additional SATA ports to his system, he stormed away.
 
Another customer insisted that WiFi only works with Linux when using integrated motherboard solutions and that dedicated WiFi cards only work on Ubuntu, which he apparently believed is not a Linux distro. This same customer wanted to install an Intel Core i7-5820K on an ASRock H97M-ITX/ac until he learnt that the 5820K features Hyper-Threading Technology. He then told me that he doesn't want anything with Hyper-Threading because it'll cause his computer to overheat.

This isn't really about a non techie persons ( kinda ) but my schools 65 year old IT guy was talking to teachers about a PC he was going build. The teacher just Kindda ignored him because he knew nothing about what he was talking about. I later asked the IT guy what was in the PC he was building, he says with a straight face " nothing to much" this dude has a i7-4790k, 980s in SLI, A triple monitor 4k setup all in a freakign custom loop... I about fainted seeing a 65year old man with an amazing setup. This dude is a legend to me and so, of my friends laugh at me because of it lol

I tried to download more ram but all I got was a virus. :(

Trying to add some bytehertz to my hdd, didn't work

I bought it from the BCC. Shitty store, never go there again

I feel your pain

The best one I've experienced is when people call any form of internet "wifi"

have a few stories some relating to me and some not,
An electrician tried to convince my Grandmother that the reason why her lights would sometimes flicker in her house was because she lived on a hill and the electricity sometimes had a hard time travelling up the hill. Some people.
Once I had to convince the teacher on my 10th grade IT class that in order for her computer to show up on the projector she had to actually plug it in via VGA cable. She was under the impression that she had to press a function key on her keyboard and it would automatically show up. You can say that class was an easy A for me >_>
My parents are constantly wondering why the printer won't print their documents, they can understand that it has to be on.
Some kid at school asked me how to transfer photos from their iPhone to their computer. Id go through the steps with them and they would always say "it's not working you obviously don't know what your doing" so i ask them just for giggles if their phone was actually turn on. It wasn't
I've encountered so many situations of uneducated people but i just can't remember them.

Dude exactly! or I try to tell them to buy a cheap laptop if they want to game, because they heat up easy and just build a PC with the money you would save from buying a gaming laptop.

Them - "hey I need advice on buying a computer"
Me - "sure id be happy to help you pick something out or ill build a great computer for you"
*week later*
Them - "yeah, i just decided to buy a computer from Best Buy"
Me "......................."

so this one time I was hanging out with my friend who is the manager at a tech shop by where I live and a girl comes in and buys a 2tb hard drive. we let her know that we install hard drives for $1 (the cost of the sata cable we use) and she says "just because I am a woman does not mean I cant work on computers" and leaves in a huff. two days later she comes back in saying that the HDD is not working so we take the computer in to look at it, we open it and the HDD is nowhere to be seen, so we ask her where it is. and it turns out that she scanned it and put the scanned image on her desktop to install the drive. and to top that off she threw away the drive she paid almost $200 for and she wanted us to give her a new one.

EDIT EDIT: still funny in 2021 keep em comin'

People thinking they can download RAM....

I used to work at a computer shop for IT support and service. Whenever something is wrong with the machine, they'll always ask if it's a virus or not. If the shortcut on the desktop is gone, they would think all of their data on the computer are gone.
My mum isn't non-techy but she just double clicks on EVERYTHING she wants to open. That includes links and buttons on the web browser. She would double click on the Google searches to open them too and I got really annoyed watching her using the computer at some point of my life.
I have another one but it's not really non-techies. My friend is a photographer but not much of a computer guy so he bought a netbook(yes, those 10-inches) and brought it to college. Apparently he actually used that netbook to edit photo and do his work. I remember him posting a comment which he thinks tiny computer are less powerful(true to some extent).

Thought it would be fun to make a topic about, all of our experiences with all the people, who doesn't really understand all the tech.
Note: Don't make this too harsh on them. You need to help them, not yell at them.
I'll go first:
So my mom has a daycare. And one day I am sitting on the floor with my laptop. And one of the kids, with real dirty hands come and put his hand on the screen. Guess he thought it was a touch screen. Still haven't gotten it off, and it was 3 months ago.
My grandmother is scared of getting rid of the computer, because she thinks it will cut the power to her house.

Pokemon yellow, I completed the entire thing and then my cousin wiped my save file and started a new one.
 
Never forgiven him
