Now that confuses me even more. I don't know if I will be playing competitive in any game. Maybe in Overwatch, but maybe I'll just get bored after a while, omg I'm so confused and I can't decide!

Why so salty? I just said the truth. You don't need a 1060 to play csgo. And you are telling me to fuck off. You should just be banned or muted.

If you say "I have a 1060" one is gonna think you'll be having 60 - 100fps because that's what demanding games that really use the 1060's power usually run at, not csgo

If you gonna play those games you don't need a 1060, you'd be good with a 1050

Mostly gaming, watching YouTube videos, browsing, basic stuff.

Are you kidding? A 1060 is gonna get 70fps in most games, not gonna get more than 120 in any game, what are you going to do with 160hz?

AOC: TN display, 24", 1 ms, 75 Hz, Freesync Samsung: PLS display, 24", 5 ms, 60 Hz, Freesync They cost the same. What the AOC is worse at: it's a TN, it has a red bar under it that I don't like that much. What the Samsung is worse at: it has a 5 ms GtG, it's "only" 60 Hz, no speaker and headphone jack (not a big deal), it is glossy on the edges and it attracts a lot of fingerprints. I would really enjoy a better image quality, but I don't know if TN displays are really that bad, if they're not so bad then panel type would not be a big problems. What do you guys think? Did/do you own one?

I see. Also more heat will make your psu fan spin faster, which of course results in more power needed.

Ok then the point of your first comment is? Why should it "creep beyond how much power the PC uses"?

How did you get those "61 watts" of heat?

My computer eats about 350W on full load (RX 580, Ryzen 5 1600). Many PSU calculators suggest me bronze 650W - 700W PSUs. This is because in order to reach maximum efficiency we need to use about 50% of what our PSU can output. But... does it really matter? A 80 Plus Bronze PSU, which is the most common type, will give: - an 82% efficiency under 25% load; - an 85% efficiency under 50% load; - an 82% efficiency under 75-100% load. We can see that our efficiency changes very little, only about 3%, on all possible loads, from 25% to 100%. Now, taking my pc as a point of reference, let's equip it with a 700W PSU, which will result in a 50% load. Our efficiency will be about 85%, which means our PSU would draw 350W / 85 * 100 = 411W from the wall. Let's give my pc a 450W PSU, which will result in a 75% load (slightly more than that). Our efficiency will be about 82%, which means our PSU would draw 350W / 82 * 100 = 426W from the wall. That's a 15W difference. Where I live, we pay 0.24€ per KiloWatt hour. If I used my pc 5 hours a day, every day UNDER FULL LOAD (which is very unlikely) I would pay 15W * 5 * 365 / 1000 * 0.24€ = 6.57€ more per year, or 7.75$ for you American folks. Conclusion: is it really worth spending 30-40€ more for a more powerful PSU, that can always stay at maximum efficiency? I'd like to know your opinions.

Just a very quick and easy question. If I have a GPU that requires both an 8 pin (6 + 2) and a 6 pin connector, can I install the two heads from the same cable into the GPU or do I need to take another cable from another plug in the PSU? Thanks!

I won't spend more than $50 on a thing I'm gonna use only for the OS. The max I will get is 120 GB. If it sucks so much I'm just not gonna get an SSD.

I'm building a new pc and I'm planning on getting an ssd just to install the OS on it and other small things over a 1tb hdd. Since Windows 10 is only like 10 GB, should I get a small SSD (64 GB or less)? Are smaller SSDs slower and less reliable? Are they worth it or should I just go with a 120 GB one?

Windows 7, from a computer that school gave us.

If I pirate it or buy it from g2a will I be able to get these upgrades?

Some of you said that there will be no Windows 11, but only Windows 10 upgrades. So I'm asking you: If I pirate it or buy it from g2a will I be able to get these upgrades?

I'm building a pc for Xmas, I have all the components in my Amazon cart but I'm missing something... the operative system. I have a really important question for you: nowadays is buying the operative system for $80+ worth it when out there on Youtube there are tons of tutorial to get it for free? I mean do they work? And if they do, is still worth it to get it in an illegal way? Is it possible that Microsoft will block my hdd because I have an Illegal copy of Windows? Will I be able to upgrade my OS when Windows 11 will come out? And you, how did you get your OS? Tell me everything I need to know about...

I'm not spending 100$ in a usless 16gigs... 8gigs is really enough

Man, I didn't ask for a configuration, I'm happy with this pc, but I'm still undecided if I should get an ssd... Maybe I'll do but that's not the problem. Anyway isn't a 450W psu a bit too little...? And I have heard that the CX serie is shit... Anyway thanks for the reply.

I'm planning to build my first pc for Xmas... Here are the specs: i5 6500, gtx 1060 6gb Gigabyte Windforce, 1x8 ddr4, Asus h170m plus matx, 1tb 7.2k hdd, no ssd. I So some online psu wattage calculator told me I needed 250-300w, but if I calculate the wattage by myself (following some guides on YouTube) it's 600+w... Which wattage is the right one? And then which brand and serie of psu should I take? I don't want to spend too much money, but I don't want a shitty psu from an unknown brand neither...
