That was my thinking. I've got a 240GB SSD on my desktop and I think that a similar capacity drive would work just fine. Thanks!

Hm. Good point. I never thought of contacting TP-Link.

I've read your computer has a 290 watt PSU. The card you're looking at is ~250 watts full load.

He was just there to help them move!

What ever happened to Justin from the moving vlogs? He's never mentioned anymore.

I think somewhere around 60c or higher. I'll hopefully check tonight when I run Cinebench for the Cinebench thread.
 
Will do. At the moment it's only GTA 4 :D. I need to buy 8GB of RAM and a new hard drive before I can really test it.
 
Let's hope so :D.

Thank you!

I sure wish I had a pile of motherboards and CPUs. I only have one Intel Core 2 Duo and some ancient 2.0GHz Pentium 4.

Ah. I get it

I'll get the XFX PSU.

BUT! I have a dual core right now and I need 4 cores for my workload.

That is a waste of money. Spending $70 on the Pentium and then $200 at least for the i7. I think I'll stick with my Athlon.

If they do local rendering.  With their new 36 core rendering server. 

I'm getting the A10-7850k. Who knows. Later on I'll probably build a better system. Since I'm 16, I only play games so a good GPU is good. Maybe I'll give this system to someone when I'm done with it.

Finally! Someone who agrees with my AMD build. My RAM is going to be the Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB x 2 @ 1600MHz. I getting the Athlon 860k but I'll see if I can find an A10 APU to use.

The whole reason why is because I was going to get a $50 MSI board but people telling me to get a better board plus I needed extra PCIe slots and a front USB 3.0 header. The motherboard I was going to get would cost me $100. My budget is not very high either. So my AMD mobo is about $60 and has 2 PCIe 16x, 1 PCI and 1 PCIe 1x. It also happens to have the front USB 3.0 header I need. And my pc partpicker lists don't even include the hard drives and copy of Windows I need.  I still want to have money to get a better monitor as well.
 
I'm not going to use the iGPU. I'm getting the R9 270. 

I'm going to get the AMD A10-5800K. I'm really not interested in the graphics but the # of cores and speed.

What CPU should I get instead? I do have a crappy GPU so I can use that before I get my R9 270.
How about the AMD A10-5800K or the AMD A8-7600?

So I was building an Intel system and I was wondering if I could build an AMD system that's cheaper but the same performance. My Intel build would have a Intel i5-4460, Asrock H97M Pro4, Crucial Ballistix sport 8 GB, Rosewill Line-M Micro ATX case, Antec VP-450 450 watt PSU. I'm eventually getting an R9 270 from Asus. What are some good CPUs and mobo. Here's my alternate build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fTPtYJ
 
Would this be good for light editing and games such as Minecraft, GTA 5 PC, etc.
Also, what integrated graphics does this CPU have? Is it APU or some lousy iGPU?

It does. But some people simply can't afford Vessel.

The Dell I have is from 2007 when they used consumer replaceable PSUs so I didn't know about newer Dells. That's why I'm build my new PC. It may be easier to buy a PC but then I can't upgrade or control what parts are used.

I can't really recommend one. 600 watts would be the lowest you would want to go. If your current PSU is a 290 watt, and the card draws around 250 watts max, that's roughly 540 watts. So definately get a 600 watt or even a 650 watt PSU if you want to be sure and have a little bit of room to upgrade if you want later on.
 
Linus did a review of the 
 and it's semi modular.  

What's the current wattage PSU?
