    Personally, I'd stick with a monitor to just be safe on the points of having better latency and what not.

    As its a laptop, all you'll be able to upgrade is the RAM and SSD. https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Acer/aspire-a515-51g

    https://www.newegg.com/black-phanteks-enthoo-pro-atx-full-tower/p/N82E16811854003?Description=ssi eeb case&cm_re=ssi_eeb_case-_-11-854-003-_-Product This has 6 3.5 inch bays, 7 2.5 inch bays, and 3 5.25 inch bays, also can fit SSI EEB boards, and it's decently priced as well.
  4. GabeThePCHelper
    SSI EEB is a motherboard form factor. This will surely take some digging to find. I modded an large ATX case the Deepcool Matrexx 55 to fit a large board.
  5. GabeThePCHelper
    I agree with @5x5 Look for something a little newer like the i5 8400 used, the i3 8100 is an awesome chip imo.
  6. GabeThePCHelper
    Now that you say that, it possibly could be your microphone, not your motherboard, what's interesting is how it works for any other motherboard but not your own.
  7. GabeThePCHelper
    My mistake, whoops. I meant to say that to avoid a lot of these bios updating problems for the new 3rd gen you need to use a x570 board.
  8. GabeThePCHelper
    Truth to that. Even sometimes their 'better' quality stuff fails, I bought a 750w 80+ Gold PSU and it just up and failed about a day after finally getting it working.
  9. GabeThePCHelper
    Do what @fasauceomerecommended, ancient bios for a modern chip just doesn't work out.
  10. GabeThePCHelper
    Use your old CPU to update the bios. This is only really happening because of the new Ryzen CPU's requiring that you're running x570.
  11. GabeThePCHelper
    Little I can offer here, but it just sounds like you have some junk USB ports. Buying used motherboards can always have hidden problems that the seller didn't tell you about.
  12. GabeThePCHelper
    jeez... Why are these things even being sold, that thing would just go poof and you've destroyed your entire build. I recommend at least 450w+ and maybe 80+ Bronze at the minimum and stay away from brand names you don't recognize.
  13. GabeThePCHelper
    Theres little to no chance that you'll get removed/scrubbed from the internet like @jstudrawasaid. Sadly that's just how the internet works, once it's out there it's pretty much permanent.

    LTT Official, first thread there.
  15. GabeThePCHelper
    70C is acceptable for running benchmarks, what are your temps when you're just gaming? Idle temp is high, I'd adjust your fans to have a harsher curve.
  16. GabeThePCHelper
    Just get an IBM Model M. I'm joking, keyboards, mice, and headsets are all super subjective on what you desire, like wireless, open back, on-ear/over-ear, etc. I personally prefer Corsair.
  17. GabeThePCHelper
  18. GabeThePCHelper
    Awesome! I like it.
  19. GabeThePCHelper
    possibly change your fan curve, is your card a blower style design or multi fan?
  20. GabeThePCHelper
    And all of this time we thought Epic would pull ahead with their store.. seems not and they've lost probably some of the best deals they could have ever gotten. Division 2 and Borderlands 3 are most likely going to be very good games, Division 2 in my opinion already is.
  21. GabeThePCHelper
    Not an expert, but I remember something like this in an LTT video where Linus looked at that 4k monitor that did 120HZ and it needed two Displayport inputs to function.
  22. GabeThePCHelper
    My biggest fear about this would probably be someone using the information and getting LTT punished because they're giving this information. Also what's to stop some people just coming onto this forum and using the info that people would give on the subforum with malicious intent? <500 posts is just a status and it really can't be verified to someone's good natured-ness.
  23. GabeThePCHelper
    Sounds like a good idea, i'll have to try it out sometime
  24. GabeThePCHelper
    If you really need 2gb extra VRAM. Go AMD. My personal recommendation is the 1660, good card and will last you.

    I was thinking Minecraft, Unturned, or other rather simple games to set up servers for. Here is the specs list. I have it saved on a google doc. 2x Intel Xeon E5-4620. (8c/16th) 4x8GB ECC Registered 1333MHZ Server Memory The board had gotten deleted from it, but these are the two main specs. I have a small 1GB Galaxy GPU in the system. I just was thinking for the time being it would serve as a display output.
