  1. Yeah, I think that im going to check some sites that sell used parts and see how cheap can I get i7.
  2. Yeah but when this will be a computer that I dont use everyday and only learn to use linux I dont feel like really spending that much when I can get i5 for way cheaper and now when I start to think about it, Im not gonna need the extra power i7 gives compared to i5 and I would be happy to get the cheapest option, as I might change the gpu in this computer also for a old gtx series card. I would like to use the 20€ of my budget to cpu and use the money left to get a gpu.
  3. Now when I start to check the prices on ebay, the i7 goes for 30€< and there is not many of them for cheap, in the other hand i5 is really cheap and there are many of them for sale
  4. Hey. I have my main computer which I game and watch youtube etc. So I bought another old pc from a school in my town. The pc is from 2012 and cost me 10€. I got keyboard, mouse and 16:9 monitor with the cables also with it. The computer has mATX MSI motherboard (LGA1155), i3 2100, 8gb of ddr3 1333mhz ram, cd/dvd drive, 500gb hdd and 500w psu. Yes, all that for 10€ (11.6 USD) I changed the 500gb hdd for a 120gb hdd from old laptop as Im not going to need that much space on second computer, so Im going to put the 500gb on my main computer. I don't have the 10€ computer at my home because I left it at my grandparents place because I go there a lot so I would have a computer to do stuff with there. I installed Linux Mint, as I want to learn linux more. The computer had some passive cooled geforce card but I did not bother about it and changed it to quadro fx 1800 that I got for free from a friend. After you have read my life story^^ (jk), I would like to ask what is the best sandy bridge cpu upgrade for cheap? I have been looking for i5 and i7. I would like the i7 more just because it's a i7. What do you think I should get? My budget is max 50-70€ and I do not want any like brand new parts as used will be the best option for this computer. I'm not going to edit any videos on this computer and only gonna be doing light gaming like casual minecraft, css, hl etc. older games for the nostalgia. And mostly this computer will be used just to browse internet by me as I am the only user.
  5. Hi, I have PC with FX-8350 processor and R9 280x GPU and I wanted to know if I can add R9 270 GPU to my system with crossfire. Is it possible? I have AsRock 990FX Extreme3 motherboard (ATX) and 600w PSU
