  1. Hi all, Can some people look over this and advise me if this is good or if something should be swapped? 1. Budget & Location $1200 AUD (no more, as he still has to factor in shipping). 2. Aim A lot of browsing and office use, sometimes often video rendering from our CCTV system (hence the i7 for the quicker render and just better in general, he's happy with it). 3. Monitors Already has a 1080p monitor. 4. Peripherals No don't need any peripherals, already have Windows on an SSD etc. Not sure why he wants the Wi-Fi adapter because the computer is right next to the router, I suppose so he can hotspot his phone if he ever wants. He also has other HDD's but needs to upgrade one of them (its only 480gb) as it's getting full. 5. Why are you upgrading? Very outdated computer, used to take 5 minutes to boot RAM slots are dying, constantly having to swap RAM Takes ages to render videos that is downloaded from our CCTV Wants just a more powerful computer all round I do have a PC Part Picker link: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU Intel - Core i7-8700 3.2 GHz 6-Core Processor $488.00 @ Shopping Express Motherboard MSI - B360M BAZOOKA Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard $135.00 @ PLE Computers Memory Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory $127.99 @ Amazon Australia Storage Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $54.50 @ Shopping Express Case Corsair - 350D Window MicroATX Mid Tower Case $135.00 @ PC Byte Power Supply EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply $139.00 @ Shopping Express Wireless Network Adapter Asus - PCE-AC51 PCIe x1 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi Adapter $61.49 @ Newegg Australia Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $1140.98 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-05-12 13:12 AEST+1000 Thank you all
  2. I'd get the ultrawide over the 1440p. I always show these pictures to people that ask this:
  3. Not a problem, glad I could help Yeah I just uninstall most of the software that comes with laptops (from dell etc).
  4. Yeah if your laptop supports it (my old school laptop didn't but my new one does). I'd just let the laptop handle it with its powermodes because I'm lazy
  5. Since you already have a 4gb stick, just get another one. Simple EDIT: Providing if it's the same stick it should be alright.
  6. Ah alright. Well if ya want it to "reduce active power to deliver better battery life and allows deeper lower power states to be reached," then keep it Tbh I wouldn't worry about it. I'd just uninstall it cause I couldn't be bothered to use it and its just taking up space so
  7. Did a quick google search and found this: http://www.shouldiremoveit.com/Intel-Collaborative-Processor-Performance-Control-89126-program.aspx -- To the person that edited my post, it was perfectly fine from the beginning. --
  8. You have many threads, why do you keep creating more?
  9. Computer name says "DESKTOP-xxxxx" but has a battery? Killed myself laughing at this
  10. Did a quick google search, not sure if this would help. You could change the admin password and then remove it from the domain. http://www.top-password.com/guide/reset-windows-domain-password.html
  11. You don't need an i7 for gaming.. he would be fine with an i5 7500/7600/k
