Budget (including currency): between $900-1200CAD Country: Canada (vancouver area) Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: - general business programs like excel, word, emails - watching HD videos, light video / photo editing, - light/medium gaming usage rocket league, dirt rally, cod, fortnite Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Looking for a good all around laptop in the $900-1200 CAD range. Mainly will be used when away from home on work trips and/or camping trips to download and view/edit photos, high def videos and general productivity usage like facebook / youtube / netflix etc with some light gaming usage. Gaming is NOT the focus of the machine, but I would greatly prefer some sort of dedicated graphics card. Battery life is a nice to have but not overly important. A high quality display is a must, don't care about high frame rates but want an IPS with good colors resolution & size (15-17" preferred)

builds looks good to me, nicely balanced build my only recommendation is to go with a 2TB hard drive, because its a better price point. ie, for $32 you get 1tb but for $44 you get 2tb (only $12 more)

he said he upgraded the psu to an 800w - and you already tried a fresh install of windows? then must be hardware related do you have access to another comp you can try the graphics card in to prove that it actually works? otherwise could just be a doa card

Im a big believer in monitoring heart rate during exercise, I believe that if you can find and keep yourself in your personal "sweet spot" then you wont feel so terribly wiped out after exercising.

I stick to samsung ssd, theyve been really reliable for me. I have used the crucial mx500 though and it is also good with usually a lower price than the samsung

I would just buy a prebuilt for that budget and use case, its going to be very difficult to get your hands on any 3000 series nvidia cards in the components market right now. big players are ibuypower, alienware, origin

nah not really, as long as your temps are in check your probably doing ok (as in minimal damage to the CPU) Obviously any CPU would live longer without the overclock, but what you're doing is in my opnion, reasonable. If one day your cpu becomes unstable you might need to tune it down a bit to squeeze some more life out of the processor.

https://www.pcloud.com/cloud-storage-pricing-plans.html My friend just forwarded me this link, they sell lifetime drive access for 2TB/$350. Seems like a good deal considering google charges $140/year for 2TB and Amazon charges $336/year for 2TB. But obviously google and Amazon are reputable companies that I can trust with my files and I've never heard of pcloud. Anyone heard of them or use them?

Im the same way, I wanted to get a "good" camera, meaning better than point and shoot and cell phones. I managed to find a starter kit of a Nikon D3400 with an 18-55mm and a 70-300mm lens, bag and extra battery used that was really reasonable (like $450Cdn) I then watched this guys video on youtube to set it up and never turned back. highly recommend getting some sort of box kit like I did. I love the 2 lenses I had and I bought a 3rd lens (a 35mm 1.8 aperature) for doing astral photography

yeah should be fine prime95 is a synthetic cpu test and creates extreme heat and stress on your cpu that you probably cannot replicate with real world use. You said you hit less than 44 degrees while gaming - you should be fine. Some people have even stopped recommending using prime95

cyber power should have a customer support phone # maybe try that instead of emails. if you are comfortable checking inside the computer, make sure that your ram is seated securely

too bad aukey products were actually pretty good, I actually sought out their brand when buy cables and chargers and things

can we pin this post, I want to treasure it forever

you need to have the quest 2 turned on and there should be a popup on the quest 2 screen that asks you to authorize/enable connection to pc

I don't see any reason why not as long as it is a compatible slot. make sure your boot order is still set correctly after the change.

are you overheating? check your temps. if the CPU is being underclocked by power savings mode it might be preventing a thermal shutdown.

people online are saying to reinstall your gpu driver. is this on a laptop? if so then you may have two drivers. One guy mentioned that he rolled back to the original intel gpu drivers on his laptop and this stopped the memory leak edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/j7khji/high_ram_usage_by_desktop_window_manager/

I got really good mileage out of a pair of Sony MDRXB650BT I believe they are dropping alot in price. Can't speak to anything else

corsair AIO's are pretty good and RGB make sure it will fit your case

be a big man and sell them to linus for the verified gamer program

anyone else weirded out that Yahoo answers is using an @verizonmedia.com email address instead of @yahoo.com ?

no worries buddy, I think youll be glad you bought evga when you contact them for support. they really stand behind their products

if its still under warranty cover evga and they will probably let you cross ship RMA it. their warranty service is the best in the business

its supposed to overclock itself
