    Tadas reacted to Captain_WD in My friend is planning his first build and we need help!   
    Hey there Tadas
     
    The plan looks generally good and with a few adjustments you can turn this into a great and optimized build. What are you planning on doing with the build? If you are going for gaming what game and settings are you after? 
     
    As the guys suggested, if you are not interested in OCing the CPU you don't really need an unlocked one, though in some cases they still provide better performance at stock speed with higher stock clocks so I'd check some benchmark comparisons and see if the price is worth paying. There's nothing wrong in having an unlocked CPU on a locked motherboard in terms of compatibility or potential issues. 
     
    You could go for a single 8GB memory stick instead of 2x4GB for budget and expand-ability purposes as you shouldn't notice any performance difference in gaming. 
     
    I would consider a SSD for the boot drive as it can dramatically increase the responsiveness and overall performance of the whole system and reduce the loading and boot times of the build, though it's not a must for a gaming build. 
     
    Let me know if I can do anything else for you

    Im not too sure on the going prices for these things, the said price just sounds too high for a like 2 year old used phone though.

    Personally, I'd probably go for Samsung. Cheaper and a much more proven company in the storage market.

    That is normal on all Nvidia Optimus Enabled Laptop (Intel Graphics Enabled).
     
    Certain stuff like adaptive vsync, dsr, nvidia video enhancement feature are not present. You also cannot overclock the LCD monitor as you have to rely on Intel Graphics Control Panel which has totally broken custom resolution.
     
    most ivy bridge and all haswell nvidia optimus enabled laptop has muxless hybrid graphics which means the monitor is directly wired to the intel graphics so there is no way to disable Nvidia Optimus (Intel Graphics) to unlock all the nvidia features.

    Uninstall both the intel and nvidia driver from control panel.
     
    Then use DDU to clean both the intel and nvidia driver:

    download latest intel graphics driver https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25143/Intel-Iris-Iris-Pro-and-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-8-1-64-bit

    The screen's only issues is poor colour gamut, but otherwise fine. It will handle CS GO maxed out and even newer games at 1080p-900p resolutions.

    Wireless N (2.4ghz) needs only 1
     
    wireless N (5.0GHz, about 35% of modern laptops and phones support this) needs 2 (one of the 2 antennas can be a 2.4GHz)
     
    So for example, i have a router that has 2 internal antenas. however is out puts:
     
    Main named wifi ( FBI Surveillance Van #4 )
    Code name wifi ( belkin.aae )
    Faster wifi ( belkin.aae.5.0GHz )
     
    My router, great signal, i reccomend it.: http://www.ncix.com/detail/belkin-f9k1102tt-dual-band-wireless-6e-72053-1374.htm
     
    newer AC version of my router: http://www.ncix.com/detail/belkin-ac1000-dual-band-wireless-01-75542.htm
     
    wireless AC (newest wifi standard, very few mobile devices support this) needs 3
     
     
    this one is good too: http://www.ncix.com/detail/asus-rt-n12-d1-n300-3-in-f8-87428-1242.htm i think this is the one my friend has

    Hello everyone,
     
    I was always interested in computers and tech stuff, then I found Linus channel, I loved his oldschool videos and I learned more about computers everyday. Then after a while, this forum was created, I got a cool nick, (that is just my name, becouse I tried to register ASAP ) and from the first day I love this forum. I have been in some other forums and usually all I got was not the tips or discussions but just toxic flaming and people that come just to troll and argue. This case is absolutely opposite, everyone here is friendly, you can ask almost anything and you get an answer or atleast a web or something where to search for it. Last but not least this forum is really active, you get an answer after a few minutes of posting and a lot of people interact with eachother in the threads. 
     
    Thank you for being the most awesome PC community! Have a nice evening
