  1. Can I get any shifter or does it have to be compatible with that specific wheel?
  2. Hi, I'm in the market looking for a driving wheel with a clutch pedal and shifter, I have no idea how much they cost but I was looking for something around the 250-300€ mark. Would that be possible? If so, could you give me some examples? Thank you.
  3. Hi, I'm having an hard time choosing between the Ryzen 3 3100 or the I3 10100F. In Portugal the prices are 100€ and 84€, respectively. I found an amazing deal for the Asus TUF Gaming B460-Plus (90€), so I'm taking that in consideration too. Can somebody help me to choose one? Thanks!
  4. I did that and it’s basically the same. I did find out that the ROG logo is what stays on for practically 95% of the time, after that, the windows logo appears for around 5 seconds and after that the laptop boots. Should I update my BIOS?
  5. Hi, sorry for the late reply I erased all data from my old HDD (therefore there is no Windows installed there) and I tried to manually boot from my SSD multiple times, the result is the same. Either way, when I get home I’ll try to do that. UPDATE: Nothing changed. This time, the boot was clocked at 117.9 seconds.
  6. Hi, I have a Asus ROG G551JW, I bought it 4 years ago and it always had a pretty fast boot time (it came with an mSata SSD). One day, a friend of mine spilled soda on top of it and the motherboard died, so we went to the local store and replaced it. The sad part was that the SSD died, so I only had the HDD to use. (I'm really not sure about the timespan in the next part, sorry haha) Some months later, I started getting REALLY LONG boot times, no, really. 120 seconds to boot! At that time, I didn't use my laptop outside of my house, so I really didn't care about it. Now I'm back to school and I always take my laptop with me, so, having 2 whole minutes for my computer to boot in 45 minute classes is a real bummer. I thought that the HDD might have got damaged with the soda or something, so 2 days ago I added a 120GB Kingston A400 SSD to my laptop using the caddy method. I installed windows on the SSD, formatted the HDD andddd.. Nope, still at 120 seconds. Wait! It gets weirder. It's not 118 seconds, 128 or 115. It's. Exactly. 120. Seconds. Sometimes 119.9, other times 120.1. But it's never lower or bigger than that. If someone knows what this might be, please help me. I'm out of ideas, thank you. NOTE: This only happens from a cold boot. If I restart the computer it has a "genuine" boot time. (around 10 seconds if I'm not mistaken).

  8. Budget (including currency): 250€ Country: Portugal, I can pick Amazon tho Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: FOREX 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): I wanted a trading computer that could support 3 monitors.
  9. I am making a new rig for gaming, some extra money would help me a ton (750€) What could I possibly sell from this old laptop?
  10. I have a Samsung Laptop sitting around, the HDD died so I never touched it again. Today I decided to open it up and took off the RAM, can I do something with it? (I have a ROG laptop, pretty sure I can't just stick it in there though).
  11. Hey I'm not sure what CPU to choose for my 2060, the ryzen 5 3600 or the ryzen 7 2700 because the 2700 is 40€ cheaper where I live. Is the 40€ worth for gaming only?
  12. You can use those 100$ to buy whatever is more important to you (storage, memory,etc), the 5700XT is an absolute beast right now for the price. If you want to upgrade it, try to see the price for the 2070 super
  13. oh ok sorry for the late reply what do you think about this one? PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor $174.15 @ Amazon Motherboard MSI B450 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard $109.99 @ Amazon Memory G.Skill Aegis 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory $134.99 @ Amazon Storage Crucial MX500 1 TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive $114.99 @ Adorama Video Card Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB PULSE Video Card $399.99 @ Newegg Case Apevia X-Mirage ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply EVGA BQ 600 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply $79.39 @ Amazon Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit $109.99 @ B&H Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $1123.49 This motherboard doesn't have wi-fi, do you need it or are you only going to use ethernet?
  14. Do you atleast know what components to choose or are you absolutely new to this?
  15. heyy is it 1200 euros or 1200 serbian dinars (I'm not sure if it's correct but it says its equivalent to 10 euros)?
  16. are you planning on playing with 1080p? 1440p? 2160p?
  17. KFC is for sure a company that I would recommend
  18. I'm going to buy from a popular online store here in Portugal, it comes with 2 years of warranty so I tought it was a great deal
  19. I don't think you got it xd Those GPUs I'm talking about are not the same, both are overclockable Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super Gaming OC Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super OC As you can see, they are different, but the only apparent difference is that one has two fans instead of 3, I wanted to know if there are more differences than that haha
  20. I'm going to buy a 1660 Super, I saw that the price difference between the Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super Gaming OC and the Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super OC is "big" since I found the Gaming OC for 269€ and the OC for 250€ (227€ refurbished) I have two questions: I saw that the regular OC has 2 fans instead of 3. Is that the only difference between those two? I'm not going to play graphic-consuming games, so I don't think overheating will be a problem (I'm probably only going to play Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege, League of Legends, GTA V but not anything really demanding) Is buying a refurbished GPU worth it? Because that 23€ difference between the normal one and the refurbished one will help a lot since I'm building a computer right now.
  21. Why would you want to buy an i7-3770? It's from 2012, there's many better options. I would reccomend to you buying a ryzen 5 3600, it's a way cheaper processor but also a really powerful one, take in comparison the i7-3770 with this one: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-3770-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-3600/1979vs4040
  22. Thanks for all the information, the 5700 xt 40€ more expensive in my country, but that's fine, I think that I'm going to save a little more and buy that one then, thank you!
  23. Yeah, it's really weird. That CPU is a beast for the price and should be running games and movies and whatever you want to smoothly. If the problem persists, you should go where you bought your pc or the components to talk about it. Anyways, good luck once again and feel free to ask me anything at any day of the week and I'll be happy to help!
  24. I mean, you don't have anything to lose so why not haha Yeah, you can try to install 7, if it gets better upgrade to 10 again and see if it fixes the problem. If it still lags on 10, keep windows 7 (even though it's really outdated and doesn't receive anymore support)
  25. oh that's not the memory then, even if you had no memory, the whole computer wouldn't just lag. Have you made sure it's not a virus? Try to run an antivirus check with malwarebytes or something like that In a extreme case, you can try to format your computer, if it's still laggy, It's probably the CPU
