Budget (including currency): 350-400€ (with a bit of leeway Country: Germany Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly Photoshop and Illustrator (Adobe Suite) 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): Current Build CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M Gaming (F41 BIOS) RAM: DDR4 2x8GB 2133 MT/s (models unknown, most likely G.Skill) GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti I am upgrading this system for a friend of mine, but I am not well-versed with Photoshop and Illustrator. The problems experienced are very slow loads and also major lags while using the programs - essentially making them unusable. My idea would have been to definitely upgrade the CPU and the RAM to something like the Ryzen 7 5700 (X) and 32GB of at least 3200 MT/s RAM. IIRC, GPU isn't the biggest deciding factor when using the mentioned programs, am I correct? Would be interesting to hear other suggestions from people that also work with the programs

I'm currently in the market for a laptop and I want one that I can use for all of my current needs. What I've been looking for is lower-end gaming laptops, so I can get good hardware without all the crazy aesthetic things that jack up the price (RGB lighting, "futuristic" body design, etc.). My needs are a good CPU for content creation and brute-forcing the occasional everything, and a good GPU. I don't need RTX-capable graphics, but I would like to get them as long as it's not too expensive. Probably the most graphics-intensive game I'd want to run (at decent quality) is Black Mesa. However, I can't say anything about later releases, and I do plan on using the computer for development. Right now I'm just doing modding in older engines, so hardware isn't as much of a concern (my Chromebook can run most of what I'm making), but again, that might change. My budget tops out at $1000, and I will not go above that under any circumstances. What I don't care about is screen size, as long as it's 1080p or higher, speakers, or any aspects that are purely visual. What I do care about is more than 8GB of RAM, at least 6 CPU cores, GTX-level graphics at least, and good internet. Oh, and the more USB ports, the better. Hilf mir!

Budget (including currency): 600$ which translates to around 17,200,000 Iranian Toman Country: Iran Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I want to start simple 3D modeling in Blender, and my brother would be happy with any game over 30 FPS in 1080P 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 have used blender in the past six months with my Lenovo Z51-70 which is really a pain in the ars, sometimes it gets so hot that I use it to warm my drink since my laptop's GPU didn't have the power and compatibility with blender I used CPU for 3D work before and I think if I get a good enough CPU with a good cooler it would do the job for me Right now I want to build something that could just get me through the learning process until I get a job and one day be able to afford a GPU In my country finding parts is a little tricky but I managed to make both an AMD and Intel Version of what I think is reasonable for what I want to achieve with my budget So this is what I came up with System Parts AMD CPU: Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G 6,190,000T=215$ Motherboard: TUF GAMING A520M-PLUS II 2,380,000=82$ Or ASUS PRIME A320M-C R2.0 1,600,000=55$ Intel CPU: i5 10600K 7,120,000=247$ Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B560M-A 2,900,000=100$ Or ASUS PRIME B460M-A 2,850,000=99$ Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 CL16 2,370,000=82$ Or G.SKILL Aegis DDR4 2400M CL17 1,780,000=61$ Cooler: DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400K 544,000=19$ HDD: Seagate 2TB BARRACUDA 1,290,000=45$ PSU: Silverstone Et650-G Gold 2,890,000=100$ I tried to aim for more cores with integrated GPU(APU) and increase upgradability for the future I had another plan as well, spend as low as I can on ram, CPU, HDD, and motherboard to save up for GPU, it was a good plan but when I looked at the whole thing it looked terrible it went kinda like this GTX 1650 (second hand) 9,500,000 - 15,000,000 = 330$ - 520 i3 10100F 2,300,000 = 79$ ASUS PRIME H410M-K Motherboard 2,340,000 = 81$ Apacer Panther 8GB DDR4 2400MHz CL17 Single 720,000 = 25$ Western Digital Blue 1TB 899,000 = 31$ Green 530W AB PSU 985,000 = 34$ (Green is a brand that only exists in Iran but it's kinda Chinese) in summary, I wanted an upgradable, well enough for 3D modeling PC within a low budget which is kinda impossible if you add the GPU now at first, I want your opinion about Both AMD and Intel versions and what do you think is better for my needs? and second what are your suggestions about how I can reach my goal? do you have any better ideas that could make a powerful PC without going over the budget? (if yes then please keep in mind that some parts may not be available in my country) and also if you want to check availability of a part in Iran you can use https://torob.com/ with auto translate on your browser

Budget (including currency): 200 usd Country: Mexico Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Unity, Blender, DaVinci Resolve, Ableton Live, Photoshop, some AAA games (medium or low graphics) Other details I have an old Lenovo H22010028, I also have a Xeon E5420 with a sticker adapter for LGA775 or a Xeon L5410 also with the sticker I need advice about the build I'm planning, first of all I need to know if the motherboard from the lenovo needs BIOS updates to work with any of the xeons. Another big concern I have is how much ddr3 ram the motherboard actually supports. I wanted at least 8gb+ but I don’t know how much I can use. For the graphics card, I have no idea if the motherboard supports any middly good graphics card, but I was thinking of buying any card with 4gb that I could find, but idk if it will be compatible Also in case that the motherboard doesn’t work at all or the gpu is incompatible, any LGA 771 motherboard suggestions? And for the PSU I don’t know which one to choose, nor the wattage, all I know is that I shouldn’t cheap out. Any advice would be really helpful and appreciated! Photos of the Lenovo:

Hey guys, I´m looking for a used graphics card for a my little brother with a budget of 100-150€. But I just don´t know what to buy! I mean there is the 1060, the 970, the 980(hard to get at the moment for this budget), the 780ti and of course the amd stuff like the rx460,480, R9 380, R9 280 and and and... Of course I found lots of benchmarks and reviews, but is this still relevent in 2021? Most of them will reach 60fps on 1080p (youtube told me so) but which one is the best? Is there a graphics card I missed? Right now it looks like I could buy any of these and the differences would be minimal and not relevent at all. Pls correct me if I´m wrong. I really don´t know what to do. So does anyone has a nice advice for me? And please excuse my bad english. It´s definetly possible I´m in the wrong section with this topic, so pls (If an admin is looking) take it to the right one or just say something.

Budget: ~400€ (595 CAD, 473 USD) Country: Greece Usage: Not too heavy gaming Other details: I'm trying to build a low budget PC for a friend, so far this is what I've come up with: CPU: Ryzen 3 3200G (240€, 357 CAD, 284 USD) GPU: Using iGPU RAM: 16GB 3000MHz Corsair ram supplied by me Storage: PNY CS900 250GB SSD MB: Asus Prime A320M-K (46€, 68 CAD, 54 USD) PSU: Be Quiet System Power 9 600W (50€, 74 CAD, 59 USD) Case: Aerocool Bolt (35€, 52 CAD, 41 USD) Hopefully I'm not forgetting anything. For now they won't be purchasing a peripherals. The target is 30 fps in a not too heavy title even if the game has to render at 720p low, I have confirmed a 2200G is capable of that in the title they'll be playing the most, so the 3200G should be too (Right?). What I'd like to know is if I could get something better for the budget, the prices are sourced from skroutz (a Greek website, analogous to amazon). However if I can get the same/better for lower/same cost, I'm more than willing to order from foreign websites. A big roadblock is transfer import fees, they force me to look at in-country stores even if they are as much as 40€ pricier. I do know that some websites offer free shipping and stuff if you pay x amount of money, if you have any websites like that to recommend I can look into the final prices myself. After building the next on the to-get list is a GPU. Basically everything here except for 1050Tis and RX 560s is priced through the roof (with them being at around 200€, 297 CAD, 236 USD), the used market isn't looking too bright either. If prices have not dropped by the time they have money to buy one, I'll be getting a 1050Ti (Or RX 560, I don't know which is more bang for the buck), I too have one, I'm certain it's adequate. After a GPU I'm thinking a proper monitor instead of peripherals, I'd like your guidance on that. Thank you for reading my post, I'm hopeful you can help me.

I'm building a future proof-ish mid range gaming PC, but my issue is PSU, right now I'm aiming for the Corsair RM650 80+ Gold, I found it for 210 USD taxes + shipping included, Is that a good price to get it for, or are there other alternatives. The build so far: CPU: 3400g (in terms of processing power this is more than enough for gaming, it won't bottleneck any mid range GPUs, and the VEGA 11 afaik is the best iGPU so far) RAM: Crucial Ballistix 2x 8Gb 3200MHz MBD: Asus Prime B550M-K SSD: Crucial MX500 1Tb Case: Cougar MG 120G (cheap case, with 3.5in bay, so even a non modular PSU won't mess up the aesthetics) Getting a GPU right now is crazy, I was hoping to get a 3060Ti or a 3060, but the ones I found go for around 1000 USD. Until the prices go down, I'll settle for Vega 11. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks.

Hey guys, I had the idea of building my own low budget server so I went into the google-jungle to look for a wild low budget CPU, but I couldn´t find a single answer to my question. A couple of friends and me are playing ARK on a private cluster so I had the idea to build a small server instead of paying virtual servers every year.(520€/year) In theory this server should do the same work for less money. And of course there is way more potential to do other stuff then just paying for one game. Someone would say that the energy costs are to expansive, but if I pay less then 500€/year for it I can deal with it. Is there any alternative for more performance or less costs? And which one should I take, finally? Please excuse my bad English I´m not using it very often. Budget (including currency): 400-800 Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: multiple VM, some game servers, maybe TS Other details Dual Intel Xeon E5-1650 v2 (6 Cores, 3,5Ghz) 100-200€ dual cpu socket Mainboard 150-200€ 8x8 DDR3 Ram 150-200€ or Intel I7-9700k (8 Cores, 3,6Ghz) 290€ B365 Board?(not sure about that) 70€ 32GB DDR4 Ram, 2666Mhz 150€

Budget (including currency): 450€ Country: Germany Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: mostly Gaming (Black Desert Online mostly) and sometimes streaming. 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): Existing parts: Keyboard,Mouse,3 Monitors (2x 60hz and 1 144hz) i wanna change out my i7 4790k@4,4ghz and just overall update the pc since the parts are pretty old. Im currently still using my Gtx 970 (keeping it for now and next year gonna get a new one from a friend most likely) Also dont need any Harddrives since i have Sata SSD's.

I have a pc with an i5 4440 and a gtx 1050 ti, the performance is good enough for me. Is there a laptop for under 700 dollars/euros that has at least the same gaming performance? Thanks!

Hi~!!! I'm very new to the LTT forum and I hope that this is the right spot for this topic. SHORT INFO About me: I am a High School student studying IT, very passionate about computers, hardware & technology in general and interested in voiceover. Budget: 300 KM (BAM) / ~150 € / ~$165 (USD) Country: Bosnia-Herzegovina (Europe, non EU) What I use my PC for: voiceover recording, video editing, gaming, video streaming, school & general DT use. I'm open to spending money on used parts and reselling my current parts. PC Specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 OC'd @ 4GHz, GPU: MSI GTX 1070 OC'd @ 2GHz, RAM: 2x8GB 3000MHz RAM, CHA: Cooler Master Masterbox Lite 5 RGB (No front panel) PSU: Corsair TX850M 850W MOBO: MSI B350M Gaming Pro STRG: 240GB SATA SSD for OS | 1TB NVMe for programs & games 1TB HDD for mass storage | slow 250GB HDD for archival storage. Note: I have the BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 as my CPU cooler, its temperatures are well within spec -- however I have seen my motherboard's VRMs heat up to the system shutdown point (~68℃) when I tested my rig with a much worse case during a sustained synthetic load. This doesn't occur with my current chassis and stays roughly ~5℃ below that point under the same condition. Non-synthetic loads do not stress the VRMs anywhere near that point. I play all my games in 4K on a 60hz freesync panel and have recently upgraded my GPU from a 1060 6gb to this GTX 1070. I've yet to encounter a game which I'm unable to run at 60 fps apart from Cyberpunk 2077 (which I don't play), GoW (~40 FPS avg. - not really noticeable on a controller) & Hunt Showdown (30-40FPS with settings turned down). I don't spend too much of my time playing games but the types which I do play are: PUBG, ArmA 2 & 3, DayZ, Insurgency Sandstorm, and COD MW3 & Apex Legends as of recent. Audio Specs: Interface: Steinberg UR12 Headphones: Audio-Technica ATH-M40x Microphone: Audio-Technica AT2020 Mic Processor: DBX 286s Note: The room which I record in is treated with makeshift acoustic curtains which hang from the ceiling to the floor, essentially lots of thin soft fabric blankets with hooks sewed onto the side that attaches to the curtain carrier mounted on the ceiling. The floor has a wool carpet. My computer causes 90% of the noise, the rest is from outside my room (e.g. TV, people) -- I consider the sound quality in its current state to be of broadcast quality, however I would benefit from a lower noise floor. Conclusion: What I'm looking for are suggestions for what things I can buy which would improve my general computing experience. I'm in no hurry and saving up is always an option. I'd also like to know what I can do to improve the quality of the time I spend on my PC, on average I'd say I spend between 1-4hrs a day depending on the day. So I'm open for suggestions that would optimize that time.

Heya all, Like the title suggests I want to take a moment to appreciate how far low-end tech has come in the last 10 years. From TVs & Smartphones to GPUs*** , the value you can get for 100-300 bucks is insane. The *** was obviously about the recent mining and supply chain stuff, but I mean assuming gpus actually get to the prices they should be within the next year. But with the Poco X3 Pro being below 200 bucks retail (which can emulate PS2 and is 120hz), you can get a cheap 4k TV for under or just above 300, I honestly can't wait to see what the tech you get for 300 bucks is in the next 10 years. I just got to upgrading my phone last year from a LG G4, looking into upgrading the rest and I can't imagine what it's gonna be like for someone who lives a quiet life and just buys the best low end they can buy every 10 years. This might just be me but like 8 years ago I got monitors like the S24A300H from samsung for 160 bucks, yet you can get a curved 144hz version of the same 24inch monitor for the same money now is crazy to me. Anyways, just a lil ramble from a random guy that likes his new stuff

I want to upgrade to PC this year from my PS4 but I'm not very good with computers at all. However I am worried about the compatibility of the PC's parts and I don't have much money to spend (My budget is around $550-600). I would like to be able to run most of the popular first person shooters efficiently with a low budget PC(ideally something under $500 dollars). In short I was wondering if the build I made on PCPartPicker would be able to do these things and last for a long time as well and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations?

So I will start off by saying I just graduated high school and haven't been able to work a day in my life, until now... With everything going on and everything being canceled I got a job and I'm trying to work over 40 hours in a week. I would like to start off by saying that this laptop will not be used for big games like witcher, cod, doom, etc.. Rather little games I like to play during my off-time like Minecraft (I play everything else on console sorry). I currently have a Acer Aspire E 15, it sucks when it comes to running games, but its decent when it comes to productivity (somewhat slow). So I put together 500-650 USD to find a decent laptop that will allow me to play the game previously mentioned at high frames, but will be amazing when it comes to productivity. I want to get this laptop as soon as possible so I can give my current Acer to my little sister, so she can play Minecraft/roblox like she does all the time on her phone. Thank you so much for any helpful comments

Budget (including currency): $120 usd, the cheaper the better. Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Playing lighter games at 60FPS or good enough. Other details: I like the Idea of something smallish and semi-portable with a handle using the parts that I have in storage, and I am also open to home made solutions or Ideas. My not in use parts: CPU: Intel Core i5-7400 with cooler. Motherboard: OEM Acer TC-780A (KBL) DTX size . RAM: 16Gb (2x8) of mixed speeds DDR4 that works fine together, one stick is by Kingston and the other is Crucial. GPU: Asus Phoenix GTX 1050 2Gb, not for demanding games. PSU: LiteOn PS-6301-18, basic 300 watt 80plus certified ATX size PSU from an acer TC-780 PC. Drive: None yet, the motherboard does have an M.2 slot, so I might go with an M.2 SSD and something else for storage. Cooling: Two old 92mm case fans and one 1800rpm 120mm case fan. Open to creative Ideas, thanks in advance.

Hi, I want to build my second gaming PC that can run new games at 1080p Medium-High settings (i have a 75hz 1080p monitor). I have all the parts that i want and I’ve watched benchmarks for similar rigs on YT, but i was wondering what power supply would be best for my configuration. I have a budget of $700 (approximately) and the current spec sheet that i have here costs around $620 (I live in a country where prices fluctuate alot and things can get very expensive very fast) so yeah i just want some advice. and if you have something to point out do so because I am very inexperienced when it comes to choosing parts and putting them together. Thanks in advance ! Current spec sheet: CPU: Intel Core i5-9400F GPU: ASRock Phantom Gaming Radeon RX570 8G SSD: Adata XPG SX8200 Pro NVMe PCIe M.2 256GB HDD: Toshiba P300 1TB RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2666MHZ C16 2x8GB MOBO: Gigabyte B360M DS3H Case: Spirit of Gamer - DEATHMATCH 6

Hi guys, I am planning to build myself a PC. I was hoping to ask your help (and experience) on spotting potential bottlenecks or incompatibility. Here's the setup: PROCESSOR : i5-6600k MOBO: MSI B250M Mortar CPU Cooler : CM Hyper 212x GPU : GTX 1070 G1 PSU : Corsair CX500M 80+ Bronze RAM. : DDR4 SODIMM Crucial 1 x 8Gb 2133mhz Case : nZXT S340 Extra coolers : 2x 120mm Fans HDD. : 1TB + my old HDD (will get an SSD Later, can someone point me to the right direction?) DVDRW: ASUS 24x Your help will be very much welcome. Thank you!!! The build is around the GTX 1070.

Greetings everyone, first post here and well, as title says, I would like everyone's help for either building or buying a facebook machine that will mainly be used for web browsing, idle file downloading, possibly 1-man server and seed for torrents when I don't need my connection. Performance on gaming, 3D software and the such is absolutely not required, as I already own a gamer system for that, I would like advice on a good cost/benefit ratio system that can boot decently fast, stay on without issues for extended periods of time and handle basic file transfer and viewing, with maybe office software. So with that said -If I wanted scalability, how much would that set me back? Related to what's the cheapest system/motherboard that can take a recent gen i3 processor and, do I need an i3 or can an older CPU do the job? -I already own a pretty old PC that I may or may not have already fried. Would it be cheaper to buy the power supply and motherboard, and recycle cabinet, or just buy a pre-built system? -Already own 2 HDDs as well, both SATA -Would such a system be factible to, in the foreseeable future, be upgraded to something that can run crysis? Or would I be better off just cheaping out on literally every component, knowing a facebook machine is all this system is, and will ever be? Thanks everyone in advance.

As I really like seeing scratch builds myself I decided to post one of mine builds. The reasons this thing even exists is mostly me having parts lying around and the fact that I wanted to play 4 player coop games on my TV. It had to be exactly 30x50x21 centimeters to fit into my TV-rack. Coming to the speccs: I7 860@ 3,8 GHz - 29€ from "german craigslist" (ebay-kleinanzeigen) Asus P7D55D - 40€ from ebay Crucial BallistX Sport 8Gb Kit - 29€ offer on Otto.de Corsair CS 430W - 30€ on mindfactory.de (If I recall correctly) Sandisk SSD 240 GB for 49€ on Conrad.de Palit Geforce 770 GTX Jetstream for 69€ on ebay.de Fans ~ 30€ Caseking.de Fan Controller 15€ Caseking.de And about 20€ for some wood ________________________ That's about 310€ Here is a concept: Which didn't work out entirely, but it was a good point to start at. Front / Backside, holes for the fans. My patented drill connection kit, which was super ghetto and super dangerous. (It's a miracle I didn't cut myself doing this. The drillhead could actually fall out as it didn't have any connection to the drill itself.) The connector is by the way a part of a screwdriver connector with a dull bit hammered in. There is a testfit. I'm sorry I could not provide any more pictures of mounting the sides and the fans. Though if you're interested: The fans were mounted directly to the wood by drilling a large hole that could fit the screwhead. The hole wasn't drilled all the way through, the last part was done with a smaller drill that just fit the actual screw itself. Some people might notice that the parts for the testfit arent the ones described above. I had these lying around and mATX is mATX right?! (Yeah that did not work out in the end) Realizing I managed to put one fan in the wrong way. Drilling holes into the top because the CPU cooler was too large to fit into the case. And testfit. After some sanding and the first coat of paint. If you're wondering why the inside did not get painted is because I wanted the LEDs to get a better reflection surface. More or less finished painting, mounted the fans. Now with most of the parts installed. This is what it looked like from the inside before remounting all the hardware as the other mainboard was slightly larger and therefore needed to be turned around. And yes I needed to redo the holes in the top. Another perspective. The shelfspace in the back is where this needed to fit by the way. This is the PC today sitting there doing its buisness. I need to repaint the shelf though as it is a tight fight and I damaged the finish a bit :(. The finished product playing some DS3! I hope you liked my kind of low budget wooden PC box. I myself had a lot of fun building it. If you didn't manage to spot the "On-Switch": There is none. It starts via Wake on LAN. Though that once went horribly wrong as Windows 10 decided that my LAN driver was outdated and installed a new one that did not support WoL. Yay. By the way I got better over time working with wood, I made a case for my NAS which now looks like this:

So I took apart my old laptop for fun and to salvage some parts because why not right? (It had a hard drive issue that I fixed after I past the point of no return on the disassembly. yes I now regret it but oh well). As long as the socket is the same on the mobo it will work, right? Since I have a few of the pieces laying around why not try and build the rest for cheap? I have the CPU, soon a PSU, and an HDD. So I just need a MOBO, RAM(I'm thinking 8-12gb), CPU cooler. And maybe a GPU, and maybe a case. I would like to have the case as small as possible so I may build my own. Also I would like to have an SSD for windows if it fits in the budget. This pc would be used for very light gaming, web browsing, and streaming video (Netflix, YouTube, etc). My budget would ideally be below $200 USD. But I might be willing to do $250. (Budget is for the parts I do not have. CPU, PSU, HDD are $0. Also exclude OS from budget) here is what I was thinking: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/TheWeazel/saved/pZFpgs CPU: AMD A4-3300 2.5ghz Dual-core (have from laptop) Cooler: Arctic Alpine 64 GT 25.6 CFM MOBO: ECS A55F-M1 micro ATX FM1 RAM: Crucial 8gb (1x8gb) DDR3-1600 GPU: EVGA GeForce 8400 GS 1gb PSU: EVGA 500w 80+ Certified ATX (have from pc) HDD: WD 250gb (have from laptop) Case: Xion XON-350 BK ATX mid tower What does the internet think???

Hii, I have a legion y720 laptop which has thunderbolt 3 port,specs are Cpu:7700hq, 16gb ram It has gtx 1060 in it. I generally do solid works,CATIA and other cad softwares. we are doing to make a car in our project,so I want to go serious in designing So I am planing to buy a used quadro 4000 and gdc egpu adaptor for cad, for performance. Instead of connecting to mpcie slot I want to connect the actor with thunderbolt 3 to HDMI and a HDMI cable (in pictures) to connect the egpu setup,my question is will I able to use the graphic card like this. Bcz it will be difficult to maintain a cable hanging from laptop , moreover it's a new laptop . Thanks in advance ,any suggestion is helpful Please do reply your knowledge and experience With regards Balaji

Any suggestions are highly appreciated, please help me build a pc for Photoshop/photo editing, primary objective of the build is to make T Shirt screens for my factory to print on cloth, would be making about 25 - 30 mockups a day. Don't want to upgrade for forseeable future, so have not considered parts to be upgrade friendly Disclaimer: Building the PC in India, so the parts price are higher than Western markets like US and Canada due to which had to settle for G4560 instead of an i3, also including Peripherals as I have to buy them within the budget. Specifications: Processor: Intel G4560 (kabylake 7th Gen) = $85 Motherboard: Gigabyte H110m-A (BIOS update required before installing G4560 for kabylake support) = $57 or should I go with B250M = $88 RAM: 2x8 = 16gb DDR4 2133MHZ/ 2400MHZ = $125 Storage: 1tb 7200 rpm 3.5" WD/SEAGATE = $57 Power Supply: CORSAIR VS350 = $40 Monitor: 18-20" 1080p 60ghz = $162 Peripherals: logitech USB keyboard and mouse = $10 Cabinet: Circle/intex with atleast 2 USB 3.0 at the front and 4 USB 2.0 ports at the back = $45 PC part picket link: https://in.pcpartpicker.com/list/9sq2f8

Can i get some help and tips please? http://pcpartpicker.com/list/XJ44RB (I want/need minimum quad-core cpu

So I was thinking of building my own mining rig. However, my budget is really small and I can't really afford to buy another graphics card, at least not at the moment. My RX470 is currently in my main gaming machine, but I will not use that card to mine as I don't want to leave my main rig running all day, all night in my room, because it makes the ambient temperature rise quite a bit and the noise will keep me from sleeping. So, I'm looking at placing a machine in one of the rooms not used for sleeping. But my second most-powerful card is just a mere GTX 560 TI, which I've read can't even mine Euthereum. Am I out of options here? Or is there still something that I can do which can at least mine a little and doesn't require a large investment?

Greetings, everyone. I've registred an account here after thinking where I could find help for building my first PC. About me: I'm currently 22 years of age, living in Germany and will be moving into my own flat soon, due to studies. Unfortunately, I will not be able to take my current PC with me, apart from the GPU. So I was hoping you guys could help me out. I'm looking at having 2 monitors. (By the way, is it possible to use a laptop as a second monitor? Could I plug my laptop into my new rig?) I don't know much, apart from some basic stuff (maybe not even that, lol), about PC's and building them, but I've made a rough draft of the parts I want. I'm living in Germany and was hoping to stay under €500, but the draft I made takes me to over €600 *cries in broke*. Here it is: GPU (the one I will be taking with me) 6144MB Gainward GeForce GTX 1060 CPU AMD Ryzen 3 1200 3,1GHz AM4 107€ Motherboard ASUS Prime B350-PLUS AM4 90€ RAM Corsair Vengeance LP Series DDR3-1600, CL9 16GB 150€ Power Supply CS-M Series CS650M 80€ HDD Western Digital STA 6G 1TB 50€ SSD Team Group DARK L3 Series SATA 6G 60GB 50€ Monitor ViewSonic VA2265SMH, 54,61 cm 100€ Keyboard Cougar 200k 30€ Mouse Gigabyte M6900 Gaming Mouse 25€ And I'd obviously need a case, but I have no idea how to choose one, and a windows license. If there is a chance to cut down some of these prices, I'd be more than grateful. The games I'm looking forward to playing (mainly) are World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Rocket League and Final Fantasy 14. If there's more information that you need, I'll provide! lol Thanks for reading.
