    computerNewbie got a reaction from DriZyo in Comparasion Graphic Card   
    Depends what "all games" means for you. For AAA like game titles you might want to get the GTX1080 to be able to consistently get 60fps on "all games mostly AAA".

    It's a nice console, but I'd say wait around Christmas time for some bundles if any

    Do you even google bro? No RGB support. As for the controller, I'm pretty sure you can use amazon search bar. Or you know, have other people do that for you:

    computerNewbie reacted to WereCat in Budget gpu pick   
    Yes, the 1050ti is worth the extra $30.
    If you can get RX470 4G for the same price as 1050ti then it is even better deal.

    I wouldn't. Maybe get like a small frying pan to use as a temporary heatsink.

    computerNewbie reacted to Quindor in Mini/Barebone PC as a server?   
    Most if not all computers are in theory suited to run 24/7 without issue. Yes server components are often of a bit different design or quality so that they can take it for 5 years+ but in my experience most desktop components do just fine, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
     
    About running fanless or with a fan, if using the fan is an option and the little noise it might make isn't a problem I would choose to use a fan. Cooling will always be better that way. And when something is running 24/7 a lower temperature is preferred, heat "wears" on computer components basically. Otherwise, go with the fanless version and direct a fan at it yourself, fanless does not mean "without airflow".
     
    In my experience running a Minecraft server can eat up quite the amount of CPU and Memory. Maybe the vanilla version is still ok but running a modded server (which you will end up doing in the end) for like 5 to 10 people the little celeron is going to get challanged there. Minecraft is programmed in Java which isn't very efficient and thus it requires quite a bit of resources (CPU and Memory). I would not go less then a Desktop dual-core with at least 8GB of RAM (if running on Linux, Windows will need more). I think the celeron will be just enough. Definitely look into Java tuning for Minecraft!
     
    Teamspeak on the other hand uses almost nothing, basically anything (1 core @ 3Ghz with 512MB ram) would be fine for that if you are not going to have more then 20 - 25 people logged in at the same time.
