    Thanks, LearnC++ is pretty easy to follow. More than most free C++ material out the for beginners anyway. I was using geektogeeks, but it jump cuts and inserts elements I hadn't learned yet (like the void function that I was having trouble with understanding of which the code came from geektogeeks). I am learning it as a hobby, but more so to prove to myself that I still have some type of working memory left in my head. I'm hoping this'll help.

    This code < #include <iostream> using namespace std; void func() { //this variable is local to the function func() //and can not be accessed outside this function int age = 18; cout << age; } int main (){ cout << "age is "; func(); return 0; } > is supposedly supposed to be local, yet I can access func() in the main block. Google's telling me it's universal, but Geeksforgeeks is telling me otherwise.

    I have no idea what you just said lol I think I may have found something though. What I found basically said that it's global.

    I'm just beginning to learn C++ and I've run across a block type following the website Geeksforgeeks that I can't really find information on. < void func() { //this variable is local to the function func() //and can not be accessed outside this function int age = 18; cout << age; } > I'm just trying to figure out how void functions. What does it mean?

    I figured I'd try to start writing again (my memory's such garbage that I let what little I did learn and retain lie for quite a while and die) and I'm getting an odd output. < #include <stdio.h> int main() { int age; printf("Enter your age : "); scanf_s("%d",&age); printf("your age is %d"); return 0; }> I'm lost as to what it could be.

    The screws are easy enough, the 4mm hex screws are what gave me problems. I couldn't figure out what they were or how to get them out.

    It didn't seem like the Volta was made for gaming. Maybe wait a few years and I'm sure they'll tailor a version of it for gaming though.

    He explains at the end.

    The i5-7400 plus the H110 together are probably worth more than you'd be paying adding ram and a case with a 700w psu free of charge basically, is a good deal. The psu, as has been said, is likely trash though.
  11. Blown Circuit
    Best you decide that for yourself. You already basically know what you want, it's more about just looking for something that's the size you want for a good price. Maybe throw in gsync if possible.

    A 1tb drive is under $50 us and a 3tb drive is around $70. A cheap 250gb ssd is around $80 US so he's looking at around $70 eu for a cheap SSD. It's up to him, but I think the money's better spent elsewhere.

    If the purpose is gaming, which I suspect it is, and hdd would be perfectly fine. Ssd's are expensive and you get so little space for the money that you would hardly benefit from the speed of an SSD. He's already got a good build and he's paying out the ass for it.

    You can find vids from ltt, Paul's Hardware, jayztwocents, etc that show you how to overclock if you're interested or even just curious.
  15. Blown Circuit
    No. Factory overclocked gpus are overclocked when brands like msi or evga get a hold of the chip and sell it in their own enclosure as aftermarket cards whereas there are no aftermarket CPUs. I don't know a lot about overclocking, but I think the CPU as well as the gpus overclock is set in boards they use. You can buy motherboards that automatically oc your CPU "within reason", but I doubt you'll see much improvement.

    Look into a GTX 1060 3gb mini if you're looking into a 1050 ti and you usually don't have to pay much more for it. I found mine for $175 US and works better on my 2500k than any 1050 ti I've seen benchmarked with even the newer gen CPUs. Tip though, if you're going to run with Ryzen, try to use ram that runs at 3000mh; preferably Corsair Vengance or Dominator series as they supposedly perform the best and are validated by AMD for Ryzen. As for the thanks, the forums are here to help people! Good luck

    Intel's great, but every year they come out with a newer set of CPUs and they like to make you buy a new motherboard Everytime they advance as a company. AMD's am4 socket will be around for the next few years and if you plan on having any type of upgrade path then Ryzens the way to go. If not, you could go either way. I'd go to http://www.pcpartpicker.com and or http://www.userbenchmark.com and compare your Intel system you're planning on building to a ryzen system and see what appeals to you more cost wise and performance wise. Userbenchmark has a page where you can compare build performance.

    Any Intel Chip without a k at the end is locked meaning that it can't be over clocked. That said, you either buy a locked CPU and Mobo and save a few bucks or buy the unlocked stuff if you're thinking of overclocking. Just don't pay the extra money if you're not overclocking.
  19. Blown Circuit
    That's my point. You asked me why I would worry more about chassis fans; they keep the internal temps lower.
  20. Blown Circuit
    The case is the chassis

    A 1070 gives off a lot of heat.

    But his machine as those specs stand don't really need a thing done to them.
  23. Blown Circuit
    Not what I meant. More like, if he was looking to upgrade down the line and not have to spend so much money. I'd already have an 8th gen if I wasn't the cheapest b****rd on the planet. The problem with that is I'd rather not buy a new motherboard every time I want to upgrade. I'll more than likely get a Coffee Lake next year when they release 9th gen chips or buy one of the mid range ryzen chips after the release of Ryzen 2.0.

    Still running beautifully. I can run almost every game I own at max settings with 60+ fps at 1080p. I don't need much more than that right now.
  25. Blown Circuit
    As he said, I'd definitely look for a cheaper case with good air flow and cable management. You can usually find a few for somewhere around $50. As for an intel build, I'd go with Ryzen right now since the AM4 is looking like it might have a better upgrade path than the 1151 300 mobos. I'm playing it safe right now and sticking with my 2500k until I have to upgrade because I'm cheap. The newest thing I have is a GTX 1060 and the only reason I bought it was because I got it used for $175 lol
