Alienware 13 r2 mobo upgrade
Elmo the Great replied to Elmo the Great's topic in New Builds and Planning
What are a few preparation steps I should do to my original laptop? -
Last minute changes to UW 1440p gaming build?
Elmo the Great replied to Estralian's topic in New Builds and Planning
That would get the job done, the rest of your build is fine just make sure everything is compatible with each other. -
Yea that should be more than enough I played arms 3 at max setting with i7 6700 and gtx 1070 getting around 30 FPS. Even though you don’t need one I would recommend a hard drive, they are inexpensive and could save some hassle down the line. Some games now like mortal Kombat 11 take 80 gigs. Just a recommendation.

Alienware 13 r2 mobo upgrade
Elmo the Great replied to Elmo the Great's topic in New Builds and Planning
Thanks guys, I was also thinking about upgrading the screen too but that also could take more power. Could I just get a better battery or something, I usually have it plugged into the wall anyways. Also when I’m reinstalling windows should I do it before or after the upgrade? -
I’m upgrading my Alienware 13 r2 motherboard. The mobos both have integrated gpus and cpus. Original mobo has i5 4210u and 860m and I’m upgrading to i7 6500u and 960m. I wanna know if I’m suppose to reinstall windows or if it just won’t work. I’ve built a couple pc’s before so I’m no beginner but is there anything special that I need to do. Thanks.

Help, pc not posting, no usb power
Elmo the Great replied to Elmo the Great's topic in Troubleshooting
So I removed every thing, made a little makeshift test bench and found 2 sideways capacitors on my brand new mother board(just opened today) I’m assuming that’s the problem. I’m just going to return it and get a different one with better customer service. But thanks anyways.- 10 replies

Thanks guys, all I want to do is some video encoding and editing. I just want to know if it would ruin the whole system.

Would the gtx 1050 ti bottleneck the ryzen 7 2700? Plz help.
-
What would be a low end core i5 processor that would be sufficient for gaming? I'm looking at some on ebay, would that be good enough. Also they would have to fit LGA 1151.
-
Thanks guys!
-
Would you guys recommend a intel or AMD build
-
Yea I was planning on buying used.
-
My budget is as low I can get it, I would want to run a game like rocket league at 60 fps (Medium Settings). Around 200-300 maybe.
-
Would a core i3 8100 pair up good with a 1050 ti? Would a AMD system be better for a low end gaming pc? What would you guys recommend? I'm not looking for brand new things so I would get them a little below retail.

Make the Wan show a real podcast!
Elmo the Great replied to Elmo the Great's topic in General Discussion
Most podcast are unscripted. Like unless you count audio books as a podcast very little are scripted. I spelled the wan show wrong in Spotify, sorry! -
I think Linus should make the Wan show more "just listening" friendly. There have been many times that I am just listening and then Linus starts using gestures, or screen sharing and I will not understand what he's talking about. So I have to stop what I'm doing, replay the part I missed, and watch it to understand what he's talking about. Please show your support below and try to get this to get noticed so he can use this constructive criticism. Also they should add the wan show to Spotify as a podcast, it would be so much easier.
