grayblizzard reacted to denestmor3 in Wife wants an iMac :(
The 1TB hdd will make the computer feel slow. I suggest getting at least a ssd/hdd hybrid, but a ssd would be better.

If you are looking for an ergonomic mouse, maybe spend a bit more on something like the Logitech G402....

grayblizzard reacted to xdeathshot20 in My first lifeline-USB-Key. Help pls

grayblizzard reacted to TheRandomness in why people gets Z270 if Z170 works perfectly if im getting unlocked 7th gen cpu...?
Because Z170 is going to be phased out, and a Z170 motherboard bought now may require a BIOS flash to work with Kaby Lake CPUs, which (normally) requires a Skylake CPU to do that.

grayblizzard reacted to Princess Luna in 13 or 15 inch laptop for general use?
15´6 inch screen all the way, trust me if you get a light simple laptop portability wont be an issue and I personally find any screen smaller than 15´6 unusable... I would pick it any day even if on 1366x768p

grayblizzard reacted to Ryujin2003 in 13 or 15 inch laptop for general use?
I generally day the 15. I have 17.3 because I like big screens, and I cannot lie.
To me a 13 inch feels more like a portable DVD Player. I'd say go to an electronics store, play with a could screens and see what you like better.
What make and model are you looking at?

grayblizzard reacted to Sprawlie in New GPU on old motherboard
There's going to be a lot of questions about compatibility due to the age.
Keep in mind the following:
PCI-E standards might have changed, but PCI-E is all compatible with each other. As long as your board has PCI-E slot (16x in width, not necessarily in lanes) you can in THEORY put in a modern card.
Where you're more likely going to run into a problem is with the PSU being able to power a modern GPU. you need to ensure that the PSU has enough power, and the proper cabling (PCI-E power will come in 6 or 8 pin variants, and most often these days, both)
in regards to CPU upgrade, you will be limited as your motherboard is likely a socket 1155. This means, if the board's BIOS supports it, the highest CPU tech you'll be able to install to this motherboard is a Ivy Bridge chip.
RAM shouldn't pose too much of an issue. Just verify what the maximum amount of RAM your motherboard can support. Don't worry too much about speed. Even if you put faster RAM into the motherboard, it will only run as fast as the board will support.
overall, it's of my humble opinion that if this PC isn't able to keep up anymore with what you're doing, it's time for a full blown upgrade. just adding RAM and GPU is only going to delay the inevitable at this point. The motherboard and CPU you have are already old enough that the upgrade path is so small and will not get you up to today's performance no matter how much you dump into it

if you have less than 32gb of RAM

grayblizzard reacted to shadowbyte in Can anyone think of a reason to NOT use chrome?
In all seriousness, they've optimized it so much
only uses about 200mb now apparently, but I swear it's more, otherwise how would 10gb of ram be used at desktop
but I do have a boatload of other programs open...

grayblizzard reacted to imreloadin in is my 770 really dead?
You've already tried reseating it in the PCI-e slot correct?
Have you tried it in another PCI-e slot or in another computer?
