    The performance tab in task manager is a good way. That will tell us what CPU and how much RAM you have. Or you can click start, type in dxdiag and run that. The System and Display tabs will have all the info we need.

    Would help to know your system specs as they currently are. We can't recommend an upgrade if there even is one in your budget if we don't know what you have.

    That's because your VRAM is likely not enough. I can check my settings and let you know what everything takes. AA is also extremely taxing on anything beyond FXAA.

    Go with the one @RaptorCandy linked. Great for what you need with a little room for upgrades later. Also lets you keep cable management simple by using only the cables you need which should be board and CPU power, as well as power for your HDD or SSD. The only issue I see here is the case which not only isn't going to allow you to use this power supply, but will not allow you to use a dedicated GPU. The website itself mentions the backplate being provided by an OEM and you won't be able to get one for your board. I would consider a different case. Also make sure that the motherboard supports the G4560 out of the box because it may not have an updated BIOS. I have built you a rig with PC Part Picker that should do the job with the parts you mentioned and added a case. They didn't have an identical GPU so I chose an updated version of it that is similarly priced. Noticed you didn't list an HDD/SSD. If you haven't gotten one yet, you could opt to go for an M.2 drive to minimize cable management needs and space as well. It isn't needed but will help. If not then go for a standard 3.5in drive or 2.5in drive of your choosing.

    Leaving them as they are won't affect anything.

    You might want to get a more beefy air cooler or look into getting an AIO. Not much surface area on what you have to deal with the heat the OC 7700k generates. Something like the be quiet! Dark Rock or Noctua NH-D14 would be better as far as air and a Kraken x62 would be more than adequate for an AIO though you could go with some others that have similar specs.

    I have drives sitting around that are over 10 years old and they work fine. If you're that worried about it though, just copy all of the data from them on to one large drive.
  10. Krillingt75961
    Why not just have them all connected? There are multiple SATA ports for a reason.
  11. Krillingt75961
    Do you plan on swapping hardware often?
  12. Krillingt75961
    No because it isn't secure. Do you have a problem exerting yourself in any way?
  13. Krillingt75961
    Then it wouldn't be a screw. That's the whole point. What you are referring to is a pin.
  14. Krillingt75961
    No because they only went back as far as Windows 7 and only for a limited time. You missed out on it. You aren't really getting MacOS for free either if you think you are. You pay a premium price for minimal performance difference compared to a PC that is cheaper. All for your aesthetics which don't mean shit compared to the use of the computer.
  15. Krillingt75961
    I don't have a prebuilt PC bud. I have a legit key. Accusing me of piracy is funny though. If you buy a prebuilt computer, whether it be a Mac or Windows, you get an OS with it that is included in the price. To buy it after the fact, it does cost money.
  16. Krillingt75961
    Because you're paying a shit ton for an Apple product which isn't worth it so yeah they give you something free. If you buy a pre built PC it comes with Windows so it therefore is free. You can't just buy OSX or MacOS or whatever name its being called these days. For whatever reason you want enthusiast grade parts without spending money on them which isn't going to happen.

    Because not only do those still require GPUs to be purchased, not having access to your miner is really sketchy since you don't know if the currency is being diverted until after a payout. Also you would be paying someone to let you mine on their hardware. Anything could be logged by the owner of the server which means your passwords and keystores can be copied and someone else could have access to them which means you have basically given them access to a bank account.

    Until the next big cryptocurrency boom.

    Compare it to corn. If there is a drought and yields are down then the cost of corn and availability of it are impacted in a negative way. Sure you can always grow more corn but that takes time to be planted, grown, harvested and processed and then sold to stores where you can get it. Still going to be in high demand and the high price is still going to be there. Once its sold out, you have to wait again. Now replace the corn with a GPU. Still has to be manufactured, tested, binned, sent to companies to be binned again, put it on a custom PCB and do their tweaks and all that and then sent to a retailer for you to buy. Takes time to do and the demand is going up the whole time. Retailers want to make money off of it so they increase their prices to account for the increase they have to pay to buy them from manufacturers.

    Business is all about making money. If you try to run a business without focusing on making money, you won't be in business long. If there is a lot of demand for something but little to no supply then you increase the price to make up for the lost sales and increased cost. If you have no demand but a large supply, you stop ordering them and put the items on sale until your supply starts to get low and then you order them. No retailer buys the card for $250 and then puts it on the shelf for the same price. They likely buy it at $175-$200 and sell it for $250 when the market is normal and drop it down a little when the market is slow to increase sales. When the market is fast and the cards aren't able to be supplied as fast or faster than they are selling, you start to increase the price to make up for the lower amount of sales you have overall. I'm going to go ahead and recommend you not build your own system at all at this point. Go ahead and buy a prebuilt since you don't seem to understand what to purchase or how to purchase it. Alienware has PCs that will have Threadripper and Vega in it, giving you what you want. Go ahead and complain about the price and how they're greedy as well for good measure. Then go ahead and look at the performance or lack of in your Apple products over the past 10 years compared to the price.

    It could be the reason but he could also have one of the old FX chips if not something even older. As others have mentioned, the Ryzen 3 is a very capable chip and provides you with an upgrade path later on if you need more cores/threads compared to Intel for the price. You can also overclock the Ryzen on pretty much any consumer board out there for it.
  22. Krillingt75961
    Likely listed there because that model RAM is sold in both dual and quad channel kits.
  23. Krillingt75961
    There are some that go over $500 and they have gone up in price as well but they are still a better deal than the 580 and 1060.
  24. Krillingt75961
    Same issue as the 1060 with it being way over priced. Good luck getting one for $320. You seem to be trying to go cheap on the GPU but I keep telling you the exact same thing. Its either below $200 for a 1050ti or over $300 and in most cases $400 for anything better which makes getting the 1070 worth it.
  25. Krillingt75961
    Not really considering the normal retail price is a much larger gap. Used to be able to purchase a 1060 6gb for $230-$250 USD or less. Now its almost double that. Trust me, the GPU market is in a very bad place right now with the mid range cards costing almost as much as a higher end one.
