    But he's spending the dough anyway while remaining on a dead platform. He'll have to splurge at some point ;) 

    Oh yeah Intel just released the Z390 chipset with the same socket. Forgot about that

    A core i5 4-core is not enough for 1440p either. And the 4790K is bad value at that price point. It gets trumped in gaming by the 100 dollar cheaper i5-8400 so ditching the older hardware is in fact the cheapest here :) 

    Well just don't want the OP to get a new motherboard and expensive AF DDR4 RAM :)

    First off, 1440p on Ultra is quite taxing. At the very least you will need to upgrade to a GTX 1080, around $600. Secondly, 8GB of RAM is barely enough for 1440p at Ultra. Another 8GB is a must, around $100. And also, a better CPU than your 4460. A 4690K for $180-ish, 4790K for around $270-ish on eBay So everything will cost around $1150, assuming you already have a 1440p monitor for it.

     

    Or like what @NelizMastr suggests.

    That´s precisely the problem, no one, and I mean no one cant update it, either because  they dont want to or they can´t. Let me explain, many don´t have the parts required to do it or dont want to take responsability if they brick or break the motherboard. Others simply dont offer that service and others tell me that "soon" theyll get BIOS updated MoBos.

    Wow such responsible shop lol. Well your best bet is to pull out 55 bucks and get an A6-9500, or most recent motherboards have already been updated for you

    SSD makes W10 runs MUCH smoother and reduce load/boot times

    I mean you refer to desktop parts. Laptop SKUs are different. 8250U, 8550U, 2500U and 2700U have similar performance (KBL-R has higher single core performance). It comes down to cooling and firmware limitations.

    Yeah mostly desktop counterparts. Sorry for not including that

    By 'graphical works', what do you mean? Like photoshop and video editing? There's a good chance that I might get back into photoshop at some point, in which case, I'd like it to be able to run relatively fast.

    Mainly, yeah. Can also means 3DS, Catia,...

    Oh, a question I forgot to ask! Whats the big difference between HDD and SSD. I mean I know one is solid state, which is better technology and quieter. But if I've got the option to have 1 TB HDD or 256 GB or even 128 GB SSD, why would I ever go for the latter? I honestly believe there is an answer for this, because I've seen a lot of people ranting and raving about SSD, could someone help me understand what that is? Thanks!

     

    EDIT: I just remembered also, processors! I've watched a dozen videos explaining what the difference between processors are and I still don't seem to have a grasp on it. Can someone please explain to me in layman's terms what the differences are and why I might want one vs another? Thanks again!

    SSD is much faster. That's really much it.

     

    The main differences now:

    Ryzen better at multitasking. Means graphical works and all of that.

    Intel better at single-threaded work. Means gaming and bursty load.

    1060 won't work on windows 10?

    He's probably running a Kaby Lake system. But the fact that his 1060 won't work with 10 really worries me. Where did you buy this 1060?

    I have seen Kaby Lake CPUs working normally with Windows 7, so really don't think that's the main problem here. Also, the OP just said it's a Microsoft Basic Display Driver Adapter, so he probably hasn't installed the drivers for the iGPU as well.

    You can probably fit in another i5-4460 in that H81 motherboard, and add in another 4gb of RAM and it would be as fast as most modern computers today. We got Lazada here as well and it's full of old stuff for cheap. Put in a GTX 1050 and you should be OK for everything.

    Edit: Careful with that PSU. Although it says 600W, that can be a low-quality stuff and delivers much less power than that. And it's from a brand that I never heard of sooooo... yeah.
