I had hoped for a desired choice, going for editing Xeon right now.

If you wanted to do strictly editing one could throw in an i7/Xeon. but if you want to game it'd have to slow down the editing CPU.

Why is your GPU usage so high? thats probably the real issue.

at least its a bit more powerful This one is MIT's Nuclear Fusion "reactor" <--more for tests and is the smallest Tomahawk(doughnut) sized device.

You're joking, that wouldn't even power a sailboat! What you need is THIS:

Make sure that it actually works as the 295x2 seems to go at cheapest, for $500 still. just a word of caution, unless you were lucky enough to win a bid at $150.

Google It can probably teach you more, for free, than any other source, paid or not.

Why are you considering the 970, go for the GTX 1060 6GB if you want a faster card with more VRAM. or RX 480 which is a hair slower/faster vs the 970 (hopefully cheaper)

Watch JayZTwoCents about it, he found out that having the radiator on front had very little impact on temps within the case.

The answer is Yes. 350Watts will be plenty for a system when you assume 100Watt on CPU, 75 max on GPU, and some 10-20 on HDD, fans stuff like that. <--realistically, smaller than that. but you cannot push it any further.

The potato would rot unless it was underground, which is then bad for the PC.

I'd recommend looking at monoprice for the standard VESA wall-mount hardware. it'll cost you $14 for a very good product that will get the job done without any excess "pointless features" depending on your needs. It does have the VESA 100x100 requirement of the pg348q This is what I have: [link to monoprice] Costs $14.49 (this is without shipping!) 24" extension small rotation abilities for OCD 340degree rotation for a monitor at full extension Personal thoughts about it: Great and very solid, once its up and drilled into a board, worry not anymore. You can put it on alone too but a helper will help hold the mount while you drill. Please make sure you connect it to either a stud, or a drywall anchor (which is included)!!! don't be that guy who stuck his monitor on drywall with screws.

On the bright side, this means World of Tanks is coming to Linux! But Russia is not America, I suspect that they are fine with it, probably eat up propaganda about US Spyware Microsoft, Apple. stuff like that.

I've never heard of low profile cards being mainstream, sure, single-slots were mainstream, but not the low profile as the mainstream is not HTPC. 750 ti will be pretty good or I guess you could wait for a new low-profile card.

RX 480 draws 167Watts PCI-E can only withdraw 75 It wouldn't be much of an RX 480 if a model that didn't was released.

The GTX 1050 ti/normal 1050 would be the best bet for a "Any-system" build since it needs not a 6-pin connector.

Buy online. I got a Sandisk Ultra 2 480GB SSD for $110, One year ago! the prices being "normal" right now are just reaching that mark today.

Did you remember the "stupid trick" to check the Shutdown after completion option? I've had this bite me many times when trying to move to an SSD using TODO Yeah, tries using Win 10 repair disc, its totally useless... "Please insert repair disc"

Look at the benchmarks again, pick the fastest card. I'd recommend the 1060 as it is faster than the 480 (usually) and have more than enough VRAM. If that 980 is significantly faster, go for it, same if you want to SLI. <--but if you would spend that much, 1070 is better choice.

Notice that the 1060 3GB can run all of the games around. VRAM often scales according to the hardware as seen in a game like Space Engineers, it uses 6.5GB of VRAM on my GTX 1070. But it also runs fine on a R9 380 with 2GB. The GTX 1060 3GB will easily be the best choice among the 1050 Ti, and RX 470. once you reach the RX 480 you may as well choose either that, or the 1060. The 1060 is just way faster than the 470.

I like to call this build: Flash the Sloth PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: *AMD A4-6300 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor ($33.33 @ OutletPC) Motherboard: *ASRock FM2A68M-DG3+ Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard ($44.99 @ SuperBiiz) Memory: *Crucial 2GB (1 x 2GB) DDR3-1066 Memory ($11.00 @ Amazon) Storage: *Western Digital Caviar Blue 80GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($15.00 @ Amazon) Case: *Logisys CS136BK ATX Mid Tower Case w/480W Power Supply ($32.70 @ NCIX US) Total: $137.02 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available *Lowest price parts chosen from parametric criteria Generated by PCPartPicker 2016-10-28 17:31 EDT-0400 Only pro: fits in your budget, 14 time over.

if electricity is a concern, the 1050 ti would dominate with its claimed 75w TDP <-- so PCI-E only for reference cards.

you need a PSU and a SATA cable, you can get both at Newegg. ^you probably already have the PSU... An alternative would be to pickup a USB dock for HDDs.

You probably should go for the RX 480 4GB in that price range. It can be seen for $210 non-ref.

I want to see how an International US election could go (on a tech forum.) Or maybe I'm rigging it in favor of the winner here
