Budget: i'll say <$150 USD, but honestly no idea Country: US Use case: Gaming (fortnite, Minecraft) and ClipStudio Current parts: i7-6700k Gigabyte 1080 ti ASUS z170-a 500gb WD hhd 1080p monitor Background: For xmas, we cleaned up an old PC that had been in a closet for a while. The HHD was empty and we did a clean install of windows. It worked for like a week but today it stopped booting and got stuck in a boot loop. Currently running diagnostics, but I think we will need to replace something. My partner and I are going back and forth on the best way to upgrade. We will definitely buy a SSD, but not sure if we should get a new mobo/cpu also. This is a light use PC for a 10yr old, so we aren't looking to sink a lot of money into it. It's been so long since we built our PCs that its hard to tell what a good price is anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

Pretty much. I backed that product in 2014, which was way before I heard of Tile. But that kickstarter is definitely why I use Tiles now.

Sorry I didnt get the reply notifications. I ended up going with Acer Aspire 5 for $324 USD and got her and ergo wireless mouse. She started classes a week ago and loves the setup. She had bought a Chromebook not knowing that she couldn't install office 365 (which she gets thru her school). So we returned it and everything is all good. The only thing we had to do was change it from windows S mode to windows 10 home, which was free. Thanks everyone!

As an avid kickstarter fan, I can easily think of two: First is the Stonetether. Turned out to be a huge con. And 2nd is Canon Busters. Lesean Thomas made a lot of promises, took our money, sold it to netflix made millions and still hasnt given us shit. I lost a lot of respect for him and cannot support anything he does anymore.

My aunt is going back to school and I want to get her a solid laptop for under $500. She will not be gaming or anything like that. It will be for school and she has MS so the ergonomics of the keyboard and trackpad are pretty important. I have a Surface Laptop, but she doesn't like the lack of ports (understandable). I am leaning towards the Acer Aspire E15 or the Lenovo IdeaPad 330S.
