I've posted quite a few stories here, and I make it a habit to post one every time I see this threat bumped to the top. Soooo, here we go!
 
This was my freshman year, and I had a potato ass laptop. It was an Acer Aspire 4710, and I had to run Lubuntu because I wasn't very Linux savvy at the time, needed a light weight OS, and it only had XPDMA drivers ever made for its hardware (My schools network was made in such an bass akwards way that only Win 8, Win 8.1, and Mac's could properly log on. As well as Linux machines).
 
I pull up TOP in the terminal because it was lagging out hard and I wanted to see what was up. The amount of stares...
 
I was a renowned hacker from that day on, despite my best efforts to shut them up because I knew literally 0 coding other than basic Linux commands. Thankfully I was never asked to "hack" anything, only help bypass the schools content filter and cheat on tests.
 
That same laptop also nearly caught on fire in my backpack after it turned itself on and cooked itself.

can relate. if i have to run updates on my Linux VM or something people always stare at my screen... 

Not really what you are expecting in this thread, but it stuck with me.
 
When I was in the 7th grade, I had just started to get into computer programming. I was really new to how computers worked, but was figuring it out. Talked to this super cocky kid in my Spanish 1 class who said he wrote hacks in Call of Duty MW2(or 3? semantics.) He was acting like he was all bad because he knew how to hack. I decided to ask what language he programmed the hacks in and his response was golden.

"A little bit of English but mostly French"
 
Suffice to say the kid didn't speak French

The CPU will get really hot really fast.  I'd advise against trying it. 

No, you need to have a cooler on it if you want to turn the PC on at all. If one doesn't cool such an expensive CPU, that person is quite the idiot.

I would go for a Ryzen at this pricepoint, Intel is just not going to get you far, unless your friend REALLY wants Intel. Also, where is the SSD? It doesn't matter if its a cheap build, an SSD is a MUST
 

You can get a 6th Gen iPad for that.

Don't suggest logical solutions, the OP won't understand.

Owning up to your mistakes, for example.

ill do it for 3 bitcoin

Sure, tell that to the judge

I can help explain it for you:
You want to blackmail someone so they don't say secrets about you.

I doubt that we can publicly answer to this question in this forum.

This isn't a hacking website my friend

I could say the same thing about buying a gun

srsly a keylogger is hacking ?
its not for bad use

sounds interesting but technically to fit the standards for tech news you need a quote or two from a website/news article and your personal opinion on the matter 

Source?

go for windows 10 pro as windows 7 will get supported dropped soon.

Can you boot into the firmware/BIOS and see if the SSD is in the boot order?
If it's there but still doesn't boot, you'll have to reinstall the bootloader onto your SSD.
(If you only have an old-school BIOS, follow the instructions at the bottom of the page about repairing MBR,
if you have a newer motherboard with UEFI, follow the upper instructions)
(Guide is from Dell, however it applies to all Windows' based computers)

I would say CPU, but to upgrade CPU you will have to also change motherboard and memory, the 8350/8370 was top of the line for FX. Plus the GPU's are still ridiculous expensive. Grab a new Ryzen 2600/2700x and be happy for many years to come.

CPU, because new cards are coming. Wont be good buys till next year, but call that time for you to save up some money.

You can't blame companies for not paying taxes a country doesn't ask for.
