Folks, you not knowing about solutions does not mean they do not exist. What are the games you are trying to play? Tell me and I can point you to the tools you'll need. As an example: The Typing Of The Dead is a cult classic released in September of 2001 that folks think can't be run on today's machines with Windows 10. They assume when discovering the game does not run out of the box that they'll need a VM (WRONG, most Windows games, going back as far as Windows 3.11 do not need a VM to run). In reality all one need to run this game is a tool called DXwnd, same for many others of similar Vintage (Pre Direct3D 8 games). There's also DOSBOX for Win 3.11 games and older, there is also DgVoodoo 2 for Glide games and so on and so forth. So, just say which games you'd like play and I'll be happy to help.

If your build will be used in some professional application that you know benefits from an increased thread-count, by all means go with AMD. But if gaming is the most intensive task that your build will encounter Intel options are still superior. Should you choose AMD, the newer generation chips are the way to go, so R7 2700 instead of R7 1700. You'll have to buy the most expensive RAM you can get your hands on and overclock the R7 to 4.2 GHz to get the most out of it. It will stil lag any 9th gen K series in most games, both in decreased FPS and increased frametimes. Full disclosure: there are a few games on the market right now that perform badly on anything with less than 8 threads, Far Cry 5 is the one usually mentioned. If I cared for these games I'd still go with a 8700k instead of any R7.

Hey, I'm in Brasil too, and since the PSU in my old build died taking with it everything but the SSD and HDDs I'm pricing new parts on MercadoLivre right now. So far I've got: PSU: Corsair RM750x R$ 849,65 MB: Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Elite R$ 1319,90 RAM: Gskill RipJaws V 2x8GB DDR4 3000 (F4-3000C15D-16GVKB) R$ 679 CPU: Intel i5 9600k R$ 1599 Cooler: Deepcool Gammaxx 400 R$ 148,04 VGA: Gigabyte WindForce OC RTX 2060 R$ 2099,90 All these parts are available in 12 monthly instalments, interest free, on credit-card. If this seems too expensive for you drop me a word telling how many Bolsonaros you've got and I'll adjust the build for you accordingly.

Yeah, that is not helpful at all. I want to access its data. I can't do a backup and restore because I've nowhere big enough to hold all its data. There certainly is a way to get Windows to recognize its existing (presumably GPT) partition, I just haven't found it up till now because for all the queries I've tried so far Google only returns results about adding brand new HDDs, not ones with data on it already. That's why I came here...

Hi! I'm writing this in the hope that someone here may have come across this issue before. I've removed an external 3TB HDD and added it as an internal sata drive to my rig. The problem is that Windows 8.1 isn't recognizing the existing partition (2.72 TB, NTFS I believe) correctly. It thinks the drive isn't formated and disk management shows three partitions instead of one. It works ok back in it's external case but I'd like to know how to make it work as an internal drive. I've did this before with smaller external drives and never had any issues so I'm at a loss here. Does anybody know how to do this? If it helps, it's a Samsung D3 station, internally a standard Sata Seagate HDD. My motherboard is an ASUS B85M-G.
