    LukeS got a reaction from cazetofamo in Is this even upgradable?   
    I actually don't mind running and HDD on my laptop; I spill enough chemicals and get bodily fluids on it from school and such (highschool student and EMT. Not weird at all). I'm a pretty big miser when it comes to computers, so I don't want to spend the extra money to get another SSD when I have half a thousand Laptop Harddrives lying around.

    A GTX 1050 Ti is the best value and will run on anything. If you're on a really tight budget, I can't recommend anything over that. RX 470s go on sale, but your power supply may be insufficient. Check on the model and wattage and get back to us; there's a small chance it may not even run a 1050 Ti properly.
     
    As for the motherboard, check the colours on the main cable. Here's the standard- see if it matches up. They're the same plug, except the 24-pin variant has four extra pins. If the wires match up, your power supply is upgradable and you can get an RX 470 or better.

     
    Yeah, that's more than enough RAM for gaming.

    LukeS got a reaction from Axeonelite in Minors playing M rated games. How do you feel?   
    I did this poll at a local public area for a debate on violent video games:
    First question was as follows:
    Are you a parent or older sibling? (yes)
    Does your children/child/siblings play video games? (yes)
    Would you be okay if they played a video game which was violent? (yes)
    Okay, here's some footage of a game called GTA5. Would you be okay with me playing this on my own? (yes)
    Okay, would you be okay with your child/sibling playing this? (<40% said yes, >50% said no)
    What if I told you that violent video games can induce anger and stimulate a lack of patience and increase violent outbursts (scientifically proven)? (ALL Said no, they would not want someone they loved playing this game)
    Are you aware of the ratings on video games like there are movies? (no)
    If you saw your sibling/child buying a game which was marked out of their age range, would you stop them? (most likely, yes)
    Would you buy tobacco for your child/sibling? (no)
    Would you buy this game for your child/sibling, if the rating was out of their age range? (no)
    here's a list of video games that are marked "M" or "T" this indicates that they are for a mature audience or strictly for Teens. Does your child/sibling own or play one of these? (yes)
    Knowing the statistics, are you okay with them playing the game? (no)
    Will you change what you're doing? (this answer was varied)
     
    Some of the elderly people we interviewed basically said the same thing: violent video games are like violent movies. You just need to use your brain for reality.
     
     
    The public is aware of the dangers of video games. Yet it is ignored.
     
     
    Overall, I think there's yet to be good evidence that the benefits of first person shooters out weigh the negativities. Yet I shall keep on playing them. It's like smoking, y'know?

    Yup. I know. We had WAY more questions, but I was on the directed answer team. We just wanted numbers for statistics, not facts. I could care less either way for the argument. Just do you.

    only thing i would change is from 2x4gb to 1x8gb
    also the m.2 brand is one i have never heard of. Get a hdd, as an ssd isnt essential for this build and budget. However, if you can, get a pny or sandisk ssd and a hdd(wd/seagate)

    I'll by him a 1080p screen in the area of 24 to 28 inches.
     
     
    I think we're going to keep it at where it's at for now.  I still need to get him a bunch of other Christmas presents along with the other kids.    I'll use the two free slots if it becomes an issue in the future.
     
     
    He's going to be tied into the NAS.  If he needs more local storage, I have tons of SSDs.  I can easily hook him up if I find that he's actually using it that much.
     
     
    I've got a Logitech G710 keyboard in a box somewhere along with some Logitech speakers.  I just need to grab him a mouse and a monitor and he should be set.
     
    Thanks

    LukeS reacted to RocketFarmer in If students had guns would the 'terrorist' have been shot dead in under a minute?   
    Don't think, given the circumstances, that it would have been resolved faster.  But it's possible. 
     
    The 2nd Amendment is primarily intended to protect citizens from an oppressive government.  Typically the first acts of tyrants is to restrict speech and disarm the populace.  Also why 1st Amendment is free speech, press, religion, assembly, etc. 
     
    Lot of hyperbole going on with respect to guns.  Claims that everyone should or should not own or carry a gun are equally ludicrous.  Gun ownership also carries with it gun responsibility and liability.  Most people also know the consequences of killing another person.  So what we're left with are the mentally deficient or deranged who want to kill people - likely less than a percent of a percent.  Terrorists make up a subset of that population. 
     
    The perpetrator of this specific attack used a vehicle and a knife.  While he was a Somali muslim, and ISIS recently called for lone wolf knife attacks, I don't believe he's an organized terrorist.  As facts come in that may change. 
     
    I believe the right to defend yourself against deranged people out there should not be restricted, within reason of course.  You cannot rely of police to be there to protect you.  It's why the wealthy have private security.  The rest of us have to rely on the expectation that the people around us are good.  That's the risk we all take.  So with that risk, carrying a firearm offers some insurance.  It also carries a ton of liability and responsibility in the proper use.  Each person has to weigh that for themselves.  
     
    You also make laws for people who follow laws, not for criminals who don't.  Laws are just the rules we make for our society to function.  Most societies already have a law against murder and attempted murder.  That would cover murder by gun, vehicle, knife, etc.  Gun laws, except to help enforce responsible ownership and liability, only hurt the average person.

    LukeS got a reaction from Misanthrope in If students had guns would the 'terrorist' have been shot dead in under a minute?   
    Again, officers are trained shoot to kill. A gun is a tool, same as a police baton, pepper spray, or rubber bullets are. Trust me, when you're in the heat of the moment, you can do crazy things. I'm not going to judge an action of one man based upon being a 'hero'. You saved a life. Don't punish the man for it.

    LukeS reacted to Ryoku in Coil whine when the hdd shuts down   
    Coil whine is the wrong term unless you have power delivery components strapped to your hdd and have excessive amount of electricity being pumped through it.  If your getting a lot of noise from you hdd I suggest you stop using it right away and buy a replacement or go through an rma process and hope you can transfer the files over before it fails (better safe then sorry).
     
    edit: first I'd remove the hdd from your pc just to make sure its not vibration sounds from it "rattling" in your case or something.  This might help you figure out if it is the hdd for sure or not.
