ExplosiveSloths reacted to samcool55 in Hi guys, if you could give my short 3-question questionnaire a look I'd be really grateful, it's about CPU performance.
Not only that but also IPC. There's a reason why you can't compare a 4Ghz quad-core ryzen with SMT with any quad-core intel with HT.
I mean if IPC would always be the same the FX series would be awesome, but even tho they run at 4-5Ghz and have 8 cores, they are absolute crap...

Most games like clockspeed/cores though it often depends on the effects being used/game engine. tl:dr everything(?)
The usual i3 8100 build with 8GB DDR4/1TB blue and a 1050ti. Could always swap out the 8100 with a ryzen 3 1200 or whatever the amd equiv is.
I think it's around £500-600 for most people but I've seen people say £750-1k is a normal thing.
Personally fall into the 500-600 range as I can always upgrade later and that's what I like about that zone.
Spent £611 I think on my current build so far, I have a 8600k, 8GB DDR4, 525GB SSD and a 1050ti. Upgrading my GPU next summer or something.

TVs, I guess.
I still have some 14 inch CRT TVs for older consoles.

It might, although I personally would advise against it. A normal bedsheet should work

don't bother with the 1030, either go with a 2200G with a 2800-3200mhz kit or just get a gtx 1050.

ExplosiveSloths got a reaction from Zando_ in can Mac users be tech savvy
My friend has a macbook pro and is currently doing computer science.
Haven't heard from them in a couple of years but I'm sure they passed with flying colors.
Kind of the same person who got me into foruming and gaming.

PSU is some unknown brand thing that I personally think is a stupid idea because it could blow at any minute if its a crappy psu.
Go to 6:16 on that, you'll see (or rather be told) why.

ExplosiveSloths got a reaction from best29 in THINKING TO BUY 1050ti
You could always upgrade to a 1050ti, as you'd probably be likely to keep it if you do a CPU upgrade or platform.
I have a 1050ti currently and can play GTA V @ high and it's fine, personally don't play PUBG anymore but I've heard it's getting a bit better in terms of optimization.
When GTA V came out I had an i3-4130 and it struggled with an RX 480(I think it was?)
GPU upgrades are the safest bet, I guess. I miss my damn 480 but I got more than I paid for it, kind of also don't need it but hey.

ExplosiveSloths got a reaction from ArunCanSeeYou in Should I halve the amount of RAM, to upgrade to a 1050ti
Personally think it would be better, as you could benefit a lot more by a GPU upgrade.
I still have 8GB and it seems to be fine. Need to get something a little faster when I upgrade though.

ExplosiveSloths got a reaction from Aarohan512 in Help!.
PC games aren't really cheaper on PC, if you're playing brand new triple A titles. You also can't return a game if you don't like it/played over 2 hours.
Sorry to ask but don't you have to get the bios flashed for B350 motherboards? I mean, like ask AMD for a loan CPU or take it to a local shop.
I'd hold off for a bit, buy a normal PS4 for $200 and be happy with that. It also has a lot of cheap games used and a good selection digitally, though most of the good sales are done via PSN.

ExplosiveSloths got a reaction from TacoSenpai in PS5 Specs
I'd love a portal hybrid like the switch.
Kind of separates itself from the PC market and is more useful.

ExplosiveSloths got a reaction from BakedPotatoIan in What do i screw things up with lol
This is the one I own and it's been alright so far.
I have a kit at work as well but I'm not sure of the brand, though I know it's one of the cheaper ones.

Yah, they bid lower than you but it was within a range to cause your bid to be entered as the max.

I have a laptop with 4gb ram and i was wondering how much ram windows uses with no programs open. At the moment it uses 2gb with just task manager open.
Thanks for your help
