    Sounds pretty bad, if that's true. I will try piecing something together from parts you dropped!

    If this is the Asus tuff model, then it is one of the the worst cooled 5700xt's out there. That card literally heats up and throttles down.

    That's a valid argument and it's of course entirely your choice. What's more you certainly don't need to justify your decision. I simply wanted to clarify that there are definitely no import fees to pay for purchases throughout the European  Union and its toll union.

    Import fees, which import fees? Lithuania is part of the European Union. So can buy anything from all around the EU without paying any import fees.

    both motherboards need to be updated before you install the cpu
    drop the network card unless you need additional Ethernet inputs, the mobo already comes with a single 10/100/1000 port in the io

    Sorfex0 reacted to kokakolia in PC Speakers under 200€   
    I find it very hard to find a good receiver under 100€ that’s not some cheap Chinese amp. And it’s questionable whether they have enough juice to fully power the speakers. Furthermore, you’ll need some kind of sound card or DAC to interface between the amplifier and a computer. And that costs money. And yes, you can easily find good bookshelf speakers under 100€. But Dayton Audio doesn’t sell in Europe really. You can get the Eltax Monitor I for 79€. 
     
    It’s just to say that I like the idea of active speakers. And the Edifier OP mentioned fits the bill. 
     
    If you’re shopping around for a solution with an amplifier, DAC and speakers you’ll quickly spend over 300€ if you don’t want to buy used or the absolute cheapest parts.

    Honestly the screen looks really awesome despite the fact that it is 720p.  unless your holding your phone right up against your eyes (literally) then you won't see the difference. The Blacks are quite nice and are more black instead of gray. As for speakers, well i don't use the speaker much on this but when i do use it i am a bit impressed. If only because it beats out the speakers on my friends' phone. I use headphones and for that it's quite good. Even comes with a software EQ in the settings.
     
    If you go for the Lumia I can help find app equivalents, apps remade on it and apps to avoid like the plague.

    @Sorfex0 640XL. Really awesome! Except, make sure to get a micro sd card as well.

    Most apps I use are just fine. My problem is that the only apps i have difficulty with are apps not being there and having little to no alternative. e.g. I take a ferry to get to school and back and they have an app for IOS and Android but not WP. Does it bother me, a bit but it's not enough to make me move to IOS or Android. Same with Octopus Card app and app for local metro.

    Sorfex0 reacted to AlTech in Microsoft Lumia 640XL (Windows Phone review from someone new to smartphones)   
    In June 2015 I bought my first and current smartphone, the Lumia 640XL from Microsoft.
     
    Some backstory:
    I was trying to choose between android phones when I stumbled across videos about windows phone (this is late 2014). I learned more about it and was struck by what a wonderful operating system it was. Fast, fluid, responsive and even has incredible RAM management and battery life management.
    I had a few gripes with it (i still do have 2 to this day) back then, these included the lack of mainstream apps on windows phone, how low specced the phones were and for the most part still are (stay tuned for the 2 new windows phones coming in october or so from MS).
     

     
    After quite a bit of using this as my daily driver here are my thoughts on Windows Phone and the 640 XL. To start off with I'll address the elephant in the room (Windows Phone itself). This needs it's own introduction since most people don't know what windows phone is or how to use it. Windows Phone (originally called Windows Mobile) was an operating system microsoft made which was based off of Windows, it uses the Windows NT kernel (since 2012 and used Windows CE before then) which is also used in Windows Desktop. It's UI is built around Live Tiles which are large square (or rectangular) icons for apps which also provide information from apps when using wifi (and cellular if configured).
     

     
    Initially I was worried about how low specced windows phones were but there's no cause for alarm. Windows Phone can run off of even the most mediocre hardware you can throw at it.
     
    Requirements:
    Dual core ArMv7 CPU
    512MB RAM (for Windows Phone 8 and newer)
    4GB Storage
    Micro USB 2.0
    Combo audio headphone jack (it's hilarious to see this as a  requirement)
    802.11b/g wifi and Bluetooth
    Multi touch display (minimum of 4 points at once)
    Direct X Capable mobile graphics
     
    Lumia 640 XL Specs
    1.2GHz Quad core Snapdragon 400 (Same as Moto G 2014) 1GB LPDDR3-1066 RAM (Same as iPhone 5s) 8GB Internal Storage with a microSD card slot compatible of up to 128GB microSD cards. Single cell 3000mAh (same as LG G4 and LG G3) 13 Megapixel rear facing camera with Single tone flash, Zeis Lens and autofocus. 5 Megapixel front facing camera Ambient light sensor Accelerometer 3 Axis gyroscope This unit is a dual sim LTE variant (2G/3G/4G/LTE) with support for dual nano sim card (either that or micro sim) 5.7" IPS 1280x720 Display @ 259 PPI (Truly amazing) Qualcomm Adreno 305 Graphics (Not too awesome)
     
     What's it like to use this thing:
    Well let me tell you, it has XL in the name for a reason. It's a huge phone at 5.7" and has an even bigger and better battery at 3000mAh. This combined with the snapdragon 400 provides incredible battery life. One thing to note is that users of the 3G variant will enjoy better battery life yet. The phone lasts for 1 day of super heavy usage ( a few hours of gaming + web browsing + office + youtube), 2 days of moderate usage (web browsing + messaging + making phone calls + taking photos and videos + using general apps for a long period of time.
     
    As i used this as a daily driver there were a few moments where i got bored while waiting for appointments, people and other things which ultimately made me play a good bit of Asphalt 8 : Airborne. Asphalt 8 is one of the most demanding games on mobile devices and surprisingly the snapdragon 400 held its own at 720p although the framerate was around 24fps and there were jaggies. For most other games I played such as Fifa, Modern combat 5 and Subway surfer it ran incredibly smoothly and was perfect for the 720p display.
     
    My complaints:
    Snapdragon 400 can be inadequate for the most demanding mobile games. 8GB standard storage No 16Gb, 32Gb, 64GB or 128GB models  
    What i like about it:
    Buttons on the device are tactile 1GB ram is enough for moderate multi tasking on windows phone Large display which produces excellent looking colors and text Light weight for a large phone Made from a durable matte plastic back Multiple colour choice backs - You can configure this to have matte orange, matte blue, matte white, glossy white or matte black. Surprisingly easy to hold for a 5.7" phone Extremely long lasting battery life Free Office 365 Personal for 1 year (only for people who bought it from april/may to july) NFC on a budget phone is a plus Very affordable  Features Lumia Camera app found on high end phones Features Glance Microsoft's Video on it:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTARu0YOl-E
     
    In conclusion, Windows Phone is ready for the average user as it now has more mainstream apps and is more user friendly. The phone itself is an excellent phone at an excellent price point. I have grown to love windows phone more than Android and IOS. 
     
     
    The Good: Excellent value/money, excellent battery life, excellent responsiveness
     
    The Bad: Not the best performance, not the most modern internals and lack of quite a few apps on windows phone
     
    The Ugly: Bugs in Windows 10 Mobile Preview, windows phone is picky about SD cards
     
    For those who read until the bottom:
    1. You are super awesome and should give yourself a pat on the back
    2. Microsoft offers a minimum of 3 Years of software support from a Windows Phone's device launch
    3. If you buy this phone then I salute you. I really do.
     
    Leave a comment telling me what you think about Windows Phone and the Lumia 640 XL.
     
    Buy or Do not BUY: BUY!
     
    Buy this phone @ http://www.microsoft.com/en/mobile/phone/lumia640-xl-lte/
     
    Edit: There's also a card holder case made by microsoft which is around $20. I will be getting this and the Microsoft band 2 soon.
     
    Edit 2:
    Snapdragon 400 isn't the problem. It's windows Phones GPU RAM allocation issue (it only gives it 300Mb).
    I'm really annoyed by the lack of internal storage now because Spotify doesn't work well on SD cards (quite an understatement really).
    1GB RAM is "OK" for multi tasking. I would have preferred 2GB and windows phone would run a lot better on 2GB (*Looks at Lumia 930*, "Damn that thing runs like a beast")

    I agree that the 640XL is quite an awesome phone for the price. I would have bought one if it wasn't for my L925 that is still working perfectly. Coming from the L620 previously with just 512MB ram, I was quite impressed with how almost similar the os behave between those two phones except the 925 opens and resume apps just a bit faster. Really excited to see what the much improved hardware will bring to the W10 usage experience.  Already saw the leaked rendered image of the new Band 2. If I can get like a store credit or some kind of exchange deal with Microsoft Store I might swap it with my Band.

    Really dont worry about it. Modern ssd will outlast your whole pc. You would need to write lots and lots of gigs. This is from article.
    Of the six, the best performers are HyperX 3K and 840 Pro both have written more than two petabytes of data (2,097,152 GB)
    To reach that mark in 10 years, you would have to write 204.8 TB of data each year. That is 17.06 TB of data each month, or approximately 574.4 GB each day.
