So im looking to upgrade my little ITX rig, i'm currently running a 6600k with 16gb of 2666mhz ram and a GTX1070. I play a lot of cpu bound titles - city builders, simulations, strategies, along with the odd big budget AAA game and a bit of VR - mostly just beatsaber and my poor 6600k is really struggling to keep up. My question is, should i upgrade my current platform and buy a 6700k - approx £150 used and try and get another year or 2 out of it, or should i just bite the bullet and upgrade to something a little more modern - I'd be looking to spend around £350-£400 which if i carried across my ram to my new build would net me either a 10600kf or a ryzen 3600 plus a motherboard. Any input from you guys would be gratefully received. cheers.

HP Pavilion x2 audio and touch sceen drivers missing
nickd_games replied to Fedeoeae's topic in Troubleshooting
have you tried uninstalling the non working drivers and downloading/reinstalling the drivers direct from the manufacturers website? https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-10-n000-x2-detachable-pc/7771371/model/8729243 -
have you tried running the ram a little slower say 2666 and then trying to recreate the fault. ryzen 1st/2nd gen can be really picky with the ram it likes and what speeds especially if you are using 4 DIMMs
-
have you now got everything at factory standard speeds no overclocks on your cpu/gpu no xmp profiles on your ram?

open up the advanced control, click on configure in the top left corner then click on the expert tab, under extra client options click add, in name type client-type in value type advanced then click ok then save.

Some helps building a new PC in a weird unique situation!
nickd_games replied to AmyTheBun's topic in New Builds and Planning
what's the used market like where you are? would it be worth looking into upgrading your current platform instead of replacing it? you could get an i7 3770k + 16GB ram. it wouldn't be as much of a performance upgrade but it could also be significantly cheaper. -
What games can i play with a super low end laptop
nickd_games replied to G O D Z I L L A's topic in PC Gaming
Both FTL and stardew valley are both fairly cheap, check out GOG.com too plenty of older games on there that will happily run on your system. -

nickd_games replied to G O D Z I L L A's topic in PC Gaming
plenty of 2D games you could play, i've sunk hundreds of hours into FTL and stardew valley and you could look into emulation 16bit stuff will run on literally anything. -
yeah even I've got to admit it's probably not my best cable management job!!!

My media centre PCs were getting a bit hot and shouty running 24/7 so I thought I'd give them a some room to breathe. Looks janky as all hell but they are a lot happier now and it's the most use that ironing board has had in quite a while!!
