    Plug in one by one and test each time if the pc boots. Then the moment it stops working you know what is the issue

    TheGlenlivet reacted to Queen Chrysalis in $2500 Upgrade build   
    Sorry but this is actually pretty bad.  If you wanna play at 1080p, there's really nothing worth $2500 you should get.  If you want, you can get a new system that games about as fast as possible right now with a new monitor for well under $2500.

    That motherboard won't work with that CPU.  You need an AM4 motherboard for the 5600X

    Here is a Review of this HDD https://proofbackup.com/maxdigital-md1000gsa6472-review/
    It seems like a good deal, but if you are not satisfied for any reason, wipe it and return it to the seller

    Right click the application in Task Manager and click Open File Location. You can then remove the files. Be sure to check the startup, tab as well to remove the start-up entry.

    It's a laptop fan, not a desktop fan.
    Unless he buys a compatible fan as a replacement, he is looking at soldering wires.

    It will be a MASSIVE upgrade from your HDD.  If the price is good in India  I would get it.
    I have an XPG 1TB SSD that I have used for the last 3 years without any issues.

    I meant this one, but you're right.  It's a gen 3 980 but not PRO.

    Ah I see.
    So the top of the line PCI3 SSDs like the Samsung 980 pro can do 3500/3000 read write and the one you want is only 2100/1500 but the Samsung is $100.
    More importantly though, unless you are moving big files from drive to drive, you won't notice the difference between 3500 and 2100.  Especially if you are replacing a hard drive with this SSD.

    TheGlenlivet reacted to Ryuikko in Hi i need some advice or just agreement.   
    What's your budget and country? For what uses? First change would be to get a 5600 instead, it's the same cpu for cheaper usually. I'd also probably reccommend you use pcpartpicker, it's a bit easier to organize componets that way

    TheGlenlivet got a reaction from Origami Cactus in Between no post and no power   
    If you really have no other way of knowing, you'll need to take of teh CPU cooler and look at the name of the CPU.
    If it's an 8 or 9000 serires part (9900K, 8700K etc.) then it should work.
    If it's a non-8 or 9000 series 6700 or 7700k then that's the problem.

    When you say I7 you don't remember which gen, are you sure the CPU is compatible with a Z370?  there were a lot of LGA 1151 cpus....

    TheGlenlivet reacted to bmx6454 in I need a lot of guidance.   
    ebay, fb marketplace, reddit hardware swap are a few. i would recommend waiting until you have saved up more $ to buy anything though. imo, your best bet may be to save like 250-300$, buy maybe a used dell optiplex full tower(or something similar), and add a gpu and ssd to it.
    edit: also, one reason i recommend waiting is if you buy a used part(with a return policy of some kind), and it sits for months untested, you won't be able to return it by the time you get to see if it works correctly.

    TheGlenlivet got a reaction from Somerandomtechyboi in Looking for help Buying a new Gaming PC   
    I vote build your own.
    For 3K you could have a very nice system with better specs that you have listed.
    Installing the OS and driver for games is at least as easy as building the system.  There are plenty of guides for that too.

    There is no replacement motherboard for upgrading your laptop. If you want more ram you need to replace your existing modules with higher capacity modules.
