  1. oh boy I have been there, you'd need to boot into safe mode and choose the hidden administrator user, using that you make your original user an admin I did it a long time ago but that's what I generally can remember
  2. Bleach Original Soundtrack 3 - Soundscape to Ardor
  3. Personally, I think the word "Luxury" is very Subjective For some, An expansive sports car is a luxury. to some others, Having any form of a car rather than a cycle is a luxury (especially on 3rd world country), and for me, (If I work) Being able to go the bathroom while in work is a luxury
  4. Definitely don't cheap out on the PSU, Even a good 650 would be way better which I think you can find for almost the same price or a bit higher Check the reviews and judge yourself
  5. Seeing that you picked the XT for higher clocks, why not go for Intel 10700k?, yes I've said it but hear me out, it's the same price and has faster clocks and you have also picked one of the best coolers in the market for it already, so you could overclock it to maybe 5Ghz easily (even to 5.2 if you have some experience, since I read people have reached that) and you might get 1-10fps in terms of game performance, there are a lot of factors that determine how many fps you gain (For example, in lower resolutions like 1080p you will notice higher and wider fps gap, but in higher resolutions like 4k, the performance difference will be mostly negligible, the higher the resloution, the more load is gonna be put on the GPU rather than the CPU) but mostly it's a bit higher than amd's, and obviously other work stuff such as Adobe products which often like to use only one core, and even multi-threaded tasks, the Intel is gonna beat AMD in that regard with the higher overall clock speeds, also you are picking a 3200mhz RAMs for ryzen, which can Impact the performance lightly (maybe like 5-7 fps if I remember correctly) But be aware, the next AMD CPUs are gonna be announced after like 9 days, and I'm pretty sure it will beat the shit out of Intel CPUs for the next 6 months at least, so I highly recommend you wait for it Now I know you want a white build, but sadly the white color is left out of market as usual, so your motherboards options are quite limited if you really want that white color, I can recommend either Gigabyte Z490 AORUS ULTRA, or, Asus ROG STRIX Z490-E GAMING, now If you really want to go for a white color (through it's grey I feel it fits way better), Gigabyte Z490 VISION D is the way to go, they are all good for that price point and you won't go wrong for anyone of those, specially the Asus one (maybe narrow it down with what you like/want) Watch this video for more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iLS3poPn8o, best video that covers this side of the build As for other parts I think it's mostly Subjective to what you want to do (like storage) so pick what you think you will use in the future and benefit from
  6. Lots of programs use GPU acceleration, such as chrome, to smooth the work out (you can try disabling it in settings to see the difference), Discord... etc in my experience, it really did make a bit of difference working around many programs, especially visually, but yeah, probably not worth the $150, sorry
  7. First I'd suggest to check her usage, For example, if she does a lot of office work and such, you obviously would focus on the CPU and a little bit of SSD to speed it up (altho not this much, maybe put some of that into the CPU or an HDD for capacity) Maybe throw a cheap graphics card just in-case (something like $150) if it really doesn't matter you can skip it feels like a terrible advice to be honest The only thing I'm noticing is that the motherboard is kinda on the cheap side, If it covers all the features you need and you are sure it will be a quality, then don't change it Other than that, it should be good in my opinion
  8. Oh and I will check compatibility such as If I needed to update the mobo bios or not to use the I3 directly
  9. yeah I tried ubuntu server [18.04] (which I didn't realize was bare bones command shell, I thought it was that system with ui and all) and I hooked it with my PC via FTP server & PuTTY, also installed some stuff such as openj9, added paths, (And I really enjoyed playing around it), it worked great for me (I tried it on amazon aws) but, I still have many functionally questions, such as how to run multiple instances and control them (because minecraft server console gets in the way of typing commands.. etc.) which im pretty sure I just need some tutorials and it will be easy, I will try to use it in the future but I might just stick to windows Oh and I wish it had the visual beauty (like monitoring resources usage for every server with smooth graphs with beautiful data) Don't worry about it, Pretty sure it can handle it, even if it doesn't I will just turn off some server instances since we will be focusing on one modpack most of the time, Thanks for the replies! I think this is the best price/performance I can get for this build then: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: Intel Core i3-9100 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor ($124.99 @ Best Buy) Motherboard: Gigabyte B365M DS3H Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($74.99 @ B&H) Memory: G.Skill Aegis 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (cheapest ram and it's 3000, I mean why not) ($64.99 @ Newegg) Storage: HP EX900 120 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($34.99 @ Monoprice) Power Supply: EVGA 500 W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply ($40.98 @ Newegg) Total: $340.94 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-04-01 22:54 EDT-0400 Oh just to make it clear, at first I didn't know I needed a GPU just to display windows and such, so thanks for that info, that would have caused wayyy too much trouble
  10. I will look into that but probably will stick to the non-f CPU, it's better for me and my other usages, thanks for the suggestions tho
  11. As I said, adding to that, I don't want any lag, but even if it's overkill, It's pretttty cheap especially for 100 bucks and for what I intend to use Also, Wouldn't 300 mods be much more heavy than 80 mods and when players chunk load a lot (exploring)? as I said i will ran many instances at once (maybe maximum 4 just to be safe on the CPU cores) edit: I love to be kinda overkill to be honest, I don't want my CPU to be at %99 usage all the time and %70- 80 would the best, especially with many machines and big stuff I'm still deciding, I thought about Ubuntu server but I don't think It will be easy for me to control and play with 4 server instances for me (im not used to linux and such) so probably I will be using windows server 2019 As for the GPU thing, it totally went over my head, but I changed the CPU to non-f so it should be good
  12. Actually, looks like the 9100 non-f is the cheapest high ranking CPU on the list I guess it's worth the $40 investment then, epsecially since adding a Video card would be much more expansive
  13. Just to be sure, Does this mean it wouldn't get crazy hot even if it was "turboing"? Oh I didn't see that, it would've been bad I dont need a GPU at all for my purpose, so im not sure about the extra $40, but at this point shouldn't I go with same-priced but better CPU on cpubenchmark list?
  14. So I want to make PC Build that is dedicated to being a server, most of the time, modded minecraft And what helps the decision is that there aren't any hosting providers that is close to our area (Saudi Arabia) that can give us under 100 ping, not terrible but not that great either Here's the build I came up with: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: Intel Core i3-9100F 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor ($78.00 @ B&H) Motherboard: Gigabyte B365M DS3H Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($74.99 @ B&H) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 16 GB (4 x 4 GB) DDR4-2666 Memory ($86.99 @ Newegg) Storage: HP EX900 120 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($34.99 @ Monoprice) Power Supply: EVGA 500 W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply ($40.98 @ Newegg) Total: $315.95 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-04-01 20:03 EDT-0400 My goal: making it cheaper if possible I looked up the best single core performance CPU from here, and then picked up the best from the cheapest I thought about taking a ryzen instead, while its a bit slower and pricier, the mobo will be significantly cheaper (~$40/30) but I retained from that since it's slower and does need higher clocked RAM to get the most out of it Also, I will be running MC Eternal modpack (~300 mods), and my upload speed is around 8MB/s, Wish should cut it We are around 3-4, maybe sometimes up to 8 but mostly 3 or 4 Should this build cut it for exploring and building machines without lag/low TPS? I also got that I didn't need any cooler for the build, is this correct? because it weirded me out (I originally added 212 Evo cooler) the only thing that im not sure about is the quad channel memory, as I might want it to be 32GB in the future (to open more servers on the same machine), as I've heard quad channel might help the performance, specially in minecraft I will be running like 1 Modpack and maybe 2 Vanillas (Maybbe If I'm about that life I might open another modpack at the same time, but probably a lighter version) Also I could use it for other stuff such as storing, so its somewhat worth the investment Note: I want to build my own because I like having fun with computers and servers And im pretty sure I made poor choices or forgot something from an aspect of the build/minecraft server, any help would be appercaited! thanks
  15. Same issue !, and yesterday it finally killed my PC. ?
  16. So, Just about to finish my World Of Warcraft (I wanted to try the game for so long), browsing a couple of pages, Suddenly, everything stops working, mouse not moving, no freezing sound, but everything just froze After few minutes, the PC turned off with no idea what happened So I tried turning the PC back on, but. No response, after a couple of tries, it finally boot BUT with a message saying "there is no boot device, please plug in...) i freaked out, it was working with windows a few moments ago, I noticed a few things... 1.My mouse and keyboard RGB LED don't instantly light up like always after pressing the power button (infact, the keyboard led stays on even when the computer off), now it takes like 20 secs to light up and the message show 2.When any drive is plugged the power button takes a few seconds to turn off, if all drives are unplugged, the moment i touch power button it turns off & I can access bios without any problems (but the late light up still occurs) So I tried playing around with my drives, I unplugged all of the side drives and now only the main one with the OS is there, when I try to power it up it doesn't display anything, when i remove it (no drives plugged) It does display the bios but that's it Everytime a drive is plugged it doesn't show anything This is the weirdest problem I've encountered Here is some info for help: 1.i use HDMI 2.everything is powred and working (cpu fan, GPU) 3. I choosed the mx500 to have my OS because of it's durability and life 4. Nothing displays when any drive is plugged 5.My keyboard and mouse light up very late, which is weird 6. My mobo is quite old (z77-d3h rev1.1) so maybe its the problem 7. My gpu is Gigabyte GTX 760 (2) 8. My cpu is I5-3470 (non k) 9. I didn't update the bios, still on the one it came with What i think is that something happened in the mobo since its old and like dusty I need help, i was about to play with my friends for the first time (finally they built a PC) Thank you for your time (sorry for my bad english ❤)
  17. This I literally built my friend's PC a few hours ago, and I found out he had the M.2 in the second slot, which (-after reading the manual and being careful-) that the slot is M.2 SATA (not NVMe) and it shares bandwidth with other SATA drives
  18. Best bet I see (in case he doesn't send it back): Tell him you will come to his location to see him repairing the laptop and enter the password (if that considered a thing) if he refused to tell you his location that will be another giveaway If you managed to meet him IRL, just take the laptop and walk away (if proven he is shady or not real customer support) This maybe a bad solution but the only thing I came up with
  19. all i know is; if 1 of the drives fail then... rip data So if it's all games... maybe? but I'd recommend buying 1 more drive to archive all the data like daily, weekly... etc
  20. Hi, so yeah since I love AE, I found that making a motion graphic is easy but somewhat time-consuming I made a quick 10 secs full motion graphics (as I'm practicing & trying to make it better) So since I want to buy a high-end 2 rigs, I wanted to save some money.... & I found out that motion graphics are very valuable for companies So the question is; How can I find clients that pay a somewhat good amount on a 60-sec motion graphic (keep in mind I'm working by myself + I can provide smooth animations) And for any tips I'd be grateful, thank you
  21. Well i just need that ram, projects are crashing on my 16GB system, and no it isn't an excuse, thanks
  22. Well, after effects don't seem to love more cores, most of my work is on it + 64 ram gets eaten easily fast and i have lots of background programs opened, also i have kinda of a high budget so i want the best performance i could get for it
  23. That's great, but here comes the second problem, the kits I can only find 8 * 16 ram kits but no 4*32 kits The only solution I can see is buying 4* 32 alone not as kits, but I'm afraid about combability and such
  24. Ok, i was aiming at 64gb at first but i found out that the i9-9900k supports 128GB. And yes having 128gb is very helpful for my work The thing is, i couldn't find any mobo that supports more than 64gb ram, all of them are 64gb max, And also since i9-9900k only accepts 4 sticks (dual channel), I couldn't find any 4*32 kits, I tried searching everywhere (Amazon, Newegg.. etc) So what am i missing thank you
  25. if you could make it to the desktop, try and open the CMD, I don't think it would work since you disabled writing rights, but worth a shot
