    This is my first build! Fairly low budget (around 500 buckeroons)
    - Ryzen 5 5500
    - ASUS B450m-A2
    - GTX 1080
    - XPG 1TB M.2
    - Thermaltake Smart BX1 750w
    - ID-Cooling AIO 
    - 3 Matching ID-Cool fans
     
    Planning on upgrading the GPU next, but the 1080 just looks shexy. Temps are great with the AIO avg about 47°C I believe.
     
    Because of Starfield, I wanted a starry/spaceship looking build. The LEDs help nicely with that. Better pictures to come. 😁

    As fun as its been watching all the hate watchers fall over themselves to show who's the most outraged, I'd much rather a return to actual content. Kinda hopeful that the GN video will nudge them to quality over quantity. More Tech Longers, and a regular Emily/Linux video pleeeeze.

    Especially since he did the responsible thing and told the authorities what the flaw was instead of just exploiting it for his own gain.

    On another note, I have a good friend whose dad hates computers and thinks they are evil. My friend got in a situation where he had to live with his dad for a few months. His dad would not let him have a computer in the house. He blames computers for his last marriage failing and says they are all of the devil. My friend is a total computer enthusiast and did it for a living at the time so it was so hard for him, needless to say he got out at soon as he got the money together to do it.

    I work with auto parts for a living and i get this all the time from people. I have come to realize after yrs of this that many people choose to be ignorant because they choose to just not to learn. You would be amazed at how many people own a car and have no idea what size engine they have in there, that is like buying a house with out knowing how many bedrooms it has.

    Wow, entitled much? What kind of classes are you taking where you need better specs than that? And why does the case, motherboard, PSU, or anything else matter while you're using it for school?
     
    Here's a good life lesson for you: If somebody lets you use something FOR FREE don't complain about it EVER unless you want to look like an entitled brat to the adults in the room.
     
    Seriously, take a minute and think about what you've been given and don't complain about something you didn't have to pay for.

    I really don't bother proof reading on forum posts, especially when I have a terrible head cold like I do right now. I can write grammatically correct when it is really important. Linux is something I really want to master in the future personally. Yes, I will take your advice on practical knowledge as well as I have been in management for years in a few different companies and someone demonstrating the skills they claimed to have was always a big plus in the interview process.

    Memtest it....
    best way to see if something is wrong with RAM
    also do 2-4 passes for each stick
    first in single channel (test each one)
    then in dual channel (test every combination)
    then in tri channel (again test every combination)
    then in quad channel (and again test every combination)
     
    then after you have found the stick that is causing problems, return it and then get a new one,
    then buy some lollies your work is done

    If I can keep my 14-inch notebook charged, then no power.
    If not... Well, I have no tablet and I can't imagine using my phone like that, so no internet I guess... I could get some work done or something...
     
    Would you rather have to learn how to design and build your own components and never be able to buy another off-the-shelf CPU, GPU, or any other component again, or have to have someone else build and maintain your machine from now on and have no idea what's inside it?
    Let's assume you can make your parts as good as companies can, though let's also assume it's a prohibitively difficult and laborious process.
