If your that young there you go.

A P51 if you can afford it, if not anything from the the T series, also send me one while your at it.

I upgraded my own computer with this, for the exact same budget a while back. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Draconid/saved/#view=wHqyf7

You could use a Ryzen 3 instead of the Ryzen 5, and possibly bring down the RAM speeds (although Ryzen really benefits from high RAM speeds) in the PCPP list above.

I think this https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Draconid/saved/#view=8CZKZL will be just above £200, also I've just noticed in the title of the post you've put "£200 upgrade," in the post itself it says "£300."

Definitely, save up and get that Ryzen 5 1600, I've got one and would recommend it to anyone.

Thanks.
 

When I get a test that has questions I´m supposed to answer, I read the questions and have to go  exactly by what they are asking.  This question, I´d tell them to fix it.
 
Even if you allow them bad wording and assume that you´re being asked which is the best medium for backing up data, you still can not answer the question because they didn´t say what shall be considered best, what kind of data needs to be backed up and in which form it is available.  Just think of libraries that use film to make backups of ancient documents --- you could argue that the result isn´t actually a backup and that film is optical storage.  I would answer that for all intents and purposes, the photography of the document is a backup, and even the best one that can be made with current technology (otherwise they would have a different way), and that film is probably not what they had in mind when they mentioned optical storage.  But they didn´t say or ask that.
 
They also did /not/ ask in any way for long term storage, and I have to assume that they intentionally didn´t ask for that.  So what the hell are they asking?
 
Sorry, I´m too stupid to answer questions that bad.  If someone thinks they can question me, they need to get their questions sorted out first.
 

Im in year 10 and that question just frustrated me and im pretty sure my teacher is a tech support scammer .

a person at my school thinks that if you type "cheat codes" while loading windows 7 it will go faster 

Today in School my friend says 
Bob - Im goning to become a pc gamer
Me - How
Bob - Build my own pc
Me - whats your budget 
Bob - 1 grand
Me - cool what parts 
Bob - No idea but must be a razer case so i can fit better stuff in it
Me - Will it be water cooled 
Bob - No that would destroy it
Me - *face palm*
-- later that day ---
Bob - is the hdmi thing the most expensive (he means gpu)
Me - I say im saving up for an itx build
Bob - whats itx 
Me - *face plam* a small motherboard standard
Bob - But you cant fit anything powerful in it
 
In between each statment everyone laughs at Bob
 

Maybe if I clench hard enough...?

Check the conditions on the plan to make sure it won't void your warranty or anything when you upgrade.

Check with the terms of the plan to make sure that you would void the plan if you replaced the storage.

It's largely just transistioning between DDR3 and DDR4, since DDR4 is now the current standard.

drivers, because for example for Nvidia cards you also install PhysX and 3D shit.

this is the fps boosting result
 

for that price range there is a much better option. like get a e5-2670 (used) on ebay. and a x97 lga 2011 mobo. cost about $320 for both..
the e5-2670 is a 8 cores 16 thread beast. grab some ddr3 and a gtx 970. you'll have a nice beast @ a great price.

E5-2609 V2 was released in Q3 2013.
 
I believe you can 4core/8thread CPUs in that price range, which might help in such applications. You could take a look at some i7's, if you do not need Xeon-specific features/hardware.
 
And on a side note, CPUs last for a very long time unless exposed to very extreme conditions (overclocking/voltages).

First time builder here. Been lurking a while and finally wanted to pull the trigger on my new workstation. I'll mostly be using it for 3D programs like Maya and Zbrush and some light rendering.
 
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Intel Xeon CPUs and how they hold up.
 
My budget is limited so I was thinking of getting the Xeon E5-2609 V2 (Amazon)
 
This one is a bit older, released in '12 I believe, so I'm not sure how well it would hold up now or if it'd be worth getting. Please help!

Wow that heat spreader looks pretty sick!

may my fuck not be given to you

Take it apart then clean it then ship it to my house for inspection
