  1. It would come down to whether you'd count portability higher than efficiency seeing as the Mac could most likely handle the above-mentioned activities but the Ryzen desktop would complete the tasks such as video editing quicker.
  2. Wow this is a great suggested alternative. You have my thanks for this. The most important thing about this is I just wanted to show him that it's always better to buy parts and assemble them than buy a prebuilt with no upgrade options for way too much. Again thank you for the great build suggestion.
  3. I'm putting together a build for someone else and just wanted to know if this seemed like a worthwhile build. The person mainly plays Warframe, Roblox, Minecraft, and Space Engineers and he is honestly struggling with only a laptop and not a gaming one at that. I fully understand that he'll need to upgrade to keep up with new games. This is the system thus far. Thank you for any help!
  4. After a long search I finally found the mounting bracket I needed on the European cm store. Here's the link for anyone else who may need it in the future.
  5. Thank you partymarty for the quick response and the welcoming. I guess I will need to buy a second V8 and use the bracket. Hopefully I find a place to use the bracketless one somewhere down the line. When I tried mounting with zip ties the cooler had a hard time staying against the CPU because of the weight so it'll need to be a horizontal case.
  6. I was wondering if the cooler master family of heatsinks have a interchangable system of brackets as I recently aquired a Cooler Master V8 (non-gts) but it has no brackets. I was thinking of buying a Hyper 212 Evo and switching the brackets but alas I would like to know if the mounting is the same. Thank you for any answers you can give to a rather new member of the pc building family.
  7. Yeah listen to the other guys, nothing should be harmed as long as the switchs are still intact.
  8. What kind of case is it?
  9. It's a 64 bit version of Windows
  10. Can I change the RAM in my computer from the old 3gb of ddr2 to 8gb of ddr2 without reinstalling Windows? Any answers are much appreciated.
  11. Thank you guys!! both your idea and Poohls worked and it finally showed the BIOS when I booted it, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, So many thank yous to you both!!!
  12. Okay thank you, I'll try that right away
  13. This is where my problem is I use the vga port on the motherboard but still nothing on the monitor (I also used the hdmi port)
  14. Its a used motherboard and I never powered it on before. Its a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H and the only beep I get is 1 short beep.
