Okay so I bought an old Core2Duo rig for next to nothing, its purpose was just emulators and stuff. It has an E4500, 4GB of DDR2,HD 5750, 500GB HDD and a 450W Silverstone PSU (Which I installed after as I didnt trust the weird PSU it came with) it had Windows 7 on it, worked fine, very snappy actually, I expected snail like speeds. Then it was time to fire Windows 10 on it like I do with all rigs. It got right to the end of the install before it comes up with the desktop screen and it froze, I restarted the PC, tried to boot into Windows 10 and now it keeps freezing on the spinning dots with windows logo. I have tried a bootable USB, it still freezes, I unplugged ALL HDDs and only used the USB to see if it gets any further but nope, freezes at the exact same spot. I tried Mint from the USB, that tells me theres no OS on the USB when I clearly burned an ISO of Linux Mint onto it. I have tried different formats, FAT32, NTFS,MBR etc, NOTHING works, I literally cant get past the spinning dots and windows logo to even attempt safe mode or reverse anything. I've tried F12 and forcing USB as first boot device and I made it priority in the BIOS. BIOS is unchanged other than boot order. Does anyone have any idea whats wrong here? 2 days ive been at this and its starting to really annoy me why it cant do the simplest task of installing an OS....

Ok so i am not the kind of person who will say things like..'Oh i need my Maxed out Graphics to enjoy a Game'. No thats not me. I am happy to Play Console and i barely pay attention to Graphics as i am immersed within a Game. I am gonna make a PC for Medium Textures and i will Fiddle with AA and Filters as i see fit. Is this weird or is it a good mind set

It's probably because they are releasing the 9xxx series when it is getting discontinued

How about me?

I wanna build a PC for high end gaming. I just think its my OCD but i really hate the thought of my GPU getting low end and then i am stuck on Low Settings till i can buy a new one...its really stupid....does anyone know of a SINGLE GPU setup that could run any game on High settings at 30 FPS or more for 3 years...

He is coming from Console so he is not bothered about Ultra settings...he mainly wants PC since its got Smoother FPS, More games, All purpose System and the Community. I just wanted to know would the 6800K Overclocked with 2133Mhz memory give him good frames on Battlefield 4 at Low settings.

From what I've read, when APU's are crossfired with a dedicated GPU, they use the GPU's VRAM and stop using the system RAM.
Not sure, but I think that's how it works.
Just had a crazy idea. Dual Socket APU motherboards for true APU crossfire.
Genius! I think I just invented the budget enthusiast! LOL

Thats partly correct but you can do it with the 7750 as it was confirmed
