  1. To further elaborate on this, for some people, buying a pre-built is easier and one doesn't have to worry about figuring out which parts work. Maybe they are trying to learn. It could stand that having a pre-built would be a good starting point and upgrade over time. This woul help one learn about their PC in general. Or it could be possible to be intimidated by building one. I know a few that are not intimidated but don't care to learn about it or understand the tech aspects. They just want one up and ready to go out of the box. It's peace of mind for them. Now of course, I'm not speaking for the OP, as we don't know what their reasoning is yet. For a number of people, it's just easier. Since this is a forum you can easily find on Google, it's worth asking here. Back to the matter at hand, you could head to iBuyPower or CyberpowerPC and get one from them. They have a number of rigs already built to ship. You could decide to also build one to your specs. Plenty of options there.
  2. This reminds me of a time I got an Intel motherboard from Newegg, and found half the pins were smashed down and was missing the IO shield. I contacted Newegg, and sent it back to them (at my expense, unfortunately). They replaced it with no other questions asked. It was the only major dealings I had with them. Granted, my experience differs from those who have had issues with Newegg, but see what Newegg has to say about the matter.
  3. First, it depends on your budget. Then, whether you care for mechanical or membrane keyboards. I wound up getting a decent mechanical keyboard from Velocifire (TKL01) with Outemu Brown switches for $30 on Amazon. That's a tenkeyless keyboard though, but was enough for me, as I am typing much more than gaming. Granted, they aren't Cherry, but it works really nicely with no issues. Certain switches are much better for typing purposes. Browns tend to be the go-to.
  4. I don't know if you have a job or earn money in some way. Going on the assumption of yes, hold out and try to invest about $3-4 a week so that next month or so, you can get a better card worth replacing. In due time, you'll be able to get a used GTX 750 NON-Ti, that will be somewhat better than your current card.
  5. That depends on the BIOS of the motherboard. Companies have been updating them to improve RAM compatibility most of the time. I've updated my MSI board a lot of times, and each time, I can finally get my RAM to the advertised speed (3200MHz). As far as overclocking RAM from a lower speed, it's a tough call. Some can actually go pretty high without crashing the system. Some can barely get past 100 or 200 MHz.
  6. Yeah, I think it needs more than just the gaming aspect to justify the price. But at the same time, every home theater set up has some form of streaming access. Even cheaper TVs are featuring these features. Atari would need to market the heck out of it and to the right people to make this whole thing work. Somehow, I don't see it happening.
  7. I know the general feelings aren't terribly positive for the new Atari VCS. I am still actually going to buy one, regardless of its power or other issues. Even so much for it as much as a "Flashback" machine, I am really curious as to what indie games will come to it. I am also curious as to if anyone is going to take a chance on buying one when it's finally released to the public. So is anyone here going to take the plunge?
  8. If you play a lot of games that are RAM intensive, the extra 2GB the 1050 Ti has over the 950 is good to have. You will also get a slight improvement in FPS. Personally, I would look towards a 970 first and see if the pricing is close to the 1050 Ti. If so, get that.
  9. When I was transferring VHS and Hi8 videos to my hard drives, I used a DVD-RW home unit, and then transferred the DVD files over to my hard drive. These days, you will be hard pressed to find a DVD-RW component. Especially a VHS/DVD-RW combo. They are out there though. I would say it's the easiest method.
  10. Social media is here to stay for the long haul. Even if it's not Facebook, another social media outlet will take over.
  11. It might help to let us know your budget and what maybe what IS available to you in your country. On the subject of which mouse, I am currently using a Cougar Revenger that has a PMW 3360 optical sensor that many find to be of great quality. I'm not sure if you have access to purchase this mouse, but that's a good consideration. I got mine for about $50 two years ago.
  12. When it comes down to any major performance part (CPU or GPU usually) you get whatever you want based on need. There's always that one question you always have to ask yourself: Is it important to have one now as opposed to later? Then you can start to figure out other questions like if you need certain features from the newer cards or video output needs. Besides, we know nothing of the features or performance of the 11 series cards yet. (I'm going with 11 series as opposed to 20 series until we know for sure the naming scheme.) If the answer to it is that you CAN wait, just wait for benchmarks if you want to wait for a future release. I'm sure by the time the 11 series comes out, there will be enough stock of 1080 Ti still around (I am talking new stock) if you feel the 117x or 118x is not enough for your needs or price point.
  13. Tally another one for the H7 here.
  14. There's a difference, but it goes hand in hand anyway. Usually there's a sense of seriousness and stereotyping to these jokes. Why tell a joke if you don't think it has some sort of truth to it? It depends on your material. Comedians base 90% of their content on current events. They are always pushing an agenda. This has always been that way. That's the essence of stand up comedy. Being "critical" still doesn't grant you any sort of pass from criticism right back. Being "critical" is an excuse to spread whatever opinions you have on someone or something, whether morally right or wrong. It all goes back to what is truly acceptable. This is contradicting. You can't say it's okay to be offended, while saying we shouldn't be offensive to others. No one should ever have to be offended on purpose. That's disrespectful. If it bothers someone, the best course of action is to have a sense of decorum and respect and call it out. The point here is not that people can say what they want, but that we shouldn't just let it slide by without being called out. While "free speech" in many locations is protected under government law, it still can be a consequence by others. That is our right to do so. No offense, but you have a lot to learn about communication and how it affects others in a public setting. Hate speech is not a thing that is up for debate. An opinion would be why you like Star Trek over Star Wars. Saying you hate someone because of something beyond their control is not an opinion. Saying you want to kill someone because of their beliefs is not an opinion. It's not some perspective that makes one sound profound. It's simply, "I hate this person because I say so." Many of these opinions are carried out in actions that are deemed a determent against humanity. This is why we have the shootings and mass killings we do. This is not some sort of toughness contest. I will never get why people treat this as some sort of bragging rights of toughness and dominance over other people. But I guess that's the way of the world. While you both reserve your right to respond, I am bowing out of this thread. I don't foresee it going anywhere, as....well...we all have our opinions on this subject matter. It'll wind up being an "agree to disagree" conversation anyway.
