SP better if you want to run your fans slow.
You won't have problems with either or though.
Jus get good quality 140mm fans.

Please go extra with the ram and get 2 sticks at 3200mhz, the integrated graphics love faster ram, and ryzen works better with faster ram.
also if you got a little extra to burn, the ryzen 2400u has 2 threads per core instead of 1, so depending on your parents use case, keep that in mind

I would check the serial numbers on the module and package, any decent store should check those.
Although I can't remember if the serial number is included on the Corsair RAM packaging... Check the labels and such.
 
Serial numbers is a (large) string of numbers and letters

700USD you can easily fit in an RTX 2080

it's literally in 15 days 

You'll still only have 5V.
 
What you'd need is a boost converter to take the 5V and up it to 12V. You can get cables with boost converters built in like this: https://amzn.to/2WYS34w for fairly cheap.
 
Just be aware that you can only draw about 375mA at 12v from a single USB port when using one of those.

Good God, I was about to recommend the HP Spectre X360, but the cheapest one starts at $1,050. If you're not opposed to buying used, that would be an option. I don't know anyone who owns one and really has any major issues with it.
 
This would probably be my pick. Setting Newegg up with the following parameters:
Ryzen processor
16-32GB RAM
$750-1000
Touchscreen
 
Yields a lot of 15.6" Dells and HPs. Dell laptops are like the black death right now. Their XPS line is plagued by overheating, bad screens, poor build quality and occasional random death. Their lower-end consumer lines are laughably poorly built, and their Latitude laptops...um...I'm on my third 5490 since starting at my new company...in January. The thing overheats and screams like a banshee at stock as it throttles itself down to Core Solo performance.
 
It's not that HP is particularly better, it's just that they aren't nearly as horribly bad. If I were buying a laptop in general right now and someone told me that a ThinkPad was off the table, there's a pretty good chance it would be an Acer.

IF your computer is plugged into a socket with working earth/grounding, then your whole PC is grounded regardless if the psu is on or off.  The earth wire of the power supply is connected to the power supply case, which is screwed to the metal case of your computer, so your whole case becomes grounded.
 
No need to connect cord to ground and stuff like that... just touch the exposed metal of the case from time to time to discharge yourself.
 
You will only get charged with static electricity if you wear specific clothes like wool, synthetics, if you have socks and rub your feet on carpet or rub yourself on a fancy chair etc etc
If you just sit at your desk and work on your computer, you won't get charged with static electricity and if you do you can quickly discharge yourself by touching some exposed grounded metal.
 

Static bracelets are used where I work and they're pretty good.
 
2 things I'd recommend if you want to be really sure to avoid static.
 
1.) Antistatic wrist strap (you can get models that will clip on to the PSU/Case or models that will plug into the ground on your wall directly.
2.) Antistatic mat (so if you slide components around they won't build up charge.

Connect your PSU to a grounded outlet, doesn't  matter if it's turned on or off and just touch it. Or attach your anti-static wrist band to your PSU and by having that on your wrist you are grounded too.

Hey, Steve here from PC Budget Solutions and "they" are wrong.  I just exported about 12 videos over 2 days and let me tell you, my 2700x was pegged at around 90-95% usage and my ram was around 20GB as well.  That being said, it appears that you can fit a 9900k in your budget and it is going to do better than a 2700x no doubt.

They're the same on paper:
 
Whichever form factor you prefer, although personally I'd choose the M.2 version just to save a SATA cable.

enable hot swapping on the sata port

1. An access point only has the ability to connect devices wirelessly - it still requires a router on the network to handle things like DHCP (handing out addresses to clients), routing of traffic and firewalling.
 
2. In this case, that is correct yes. Only one Ethernet port will work in Bridge mode, so you'll connect the Asus' WAN port to that one on your current router. At that point, your Asus router will do all the functions your current router does, and your current router will turn into a modem only, linking your Asus router to the internet via your cable connection.

you could also check into 1080 ti prices when the 1180 launches and see if you can snag a deal.

... thus repeating the mining gpu craze....   
 
**fun** **fun**

i would wait if possible for the 1080- the price is a bit high... i think new cards may be available in the summer hence the price of a 1080 may drop.... 

os, chrome, sync chrome, drivers, more drivers, antivirus and malwarebytes, steam, origin, adobe PS and ID, latest linus tech tips video... 

Gt 1030

definitely a 1600 instead of the 2400g , also did u know u can get a free cpu from buying a 2200g / 2400g? 
 
amd iGPU and GPU will not work together, unlike Intel, so the APU/ 2X00g will either use one or the other gpu's
 
 
 

This is only if you 1. either have a old GPU or 2. your GPU isn't at least equivalent GTX 700 series.
