Does this seem overkill to anyone? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/GarskeJ98/saved/#view=sqcBmG

I am going to be upgrading my PC in a few months. I would like to have all my original Storage (OS, Apps, & Games) to still work. With needing to only download the new drivers. I am going to upgrade my (Motherboard, CPU, RAM, & GPU). Is what I want to do possible or will I have to start from scratch with my OS, Apps, & Games? Is there a way to make it work at all? Could I transfer the data over? Any help and/or advice will be hugely appreciated and graciously accepted. **New Question... can I use system backup/restore to move all data to new PC??**

Around a year ago I finally got into Computer gaming after finally getting a computer that was capable of it. I started upgrading and working my way up with a budget. However in the past few months I started a new computer build called "Devil's Echo". I started around a Processor that i had just got from a friend, a Intel i7-4790K and worked from there using some old parts from my other computer builds. Can i get some opinions on where I should or shouldn't upgrade and if my build is good enough to handle a lot of tasks compared to other builds of more current hardware. Please keep in mind I've had almost no budget, and a lot of this is is second hand equipment. Thanks guys!

Hello all! I figured like many I would "show off" my personal rig I built back on Dec 25, 2015. It isn't anything to write home about, but it has done all I have asked and more. Here are the specs: (listed by the prices I paid at the time, not current values) PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Type Item Price CPU AMD - FX-6350 3.9 GHz 6-Core Processor $135.99 CPU Cooler Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler $24.99 Motherboard Asus - M5A99FX PRO R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard $83.99 Memory G.Skill - Ripjaws X Series 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3-1600 Memory $51.99 Memory G.Skill - Ripjaws X Series 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3-1600 Memory $51.99 Storage SanDisk - SSD PLUS 120 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive $44.99 Storage Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $44.99 Video Card EVGA - GeForce GTX 960 2 GB SuperSC ACX 2.0+ Video Card $219.99 Case Thermaltake - Overseer RX-I ATX Full Tower Case $64.99 Power Supply EVGA - 600B 600 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply $49.99 Wireless Network Adapter TP-Link - TL-WDN4800 PCI-Express x1 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter $35.99 Case Fan Thermaltake - Pure 20 LED 129.63 CFM 200mm Fan $14.99 Case Fan Thermaltake - Pure 20 LED 129.63 CFM 200mm Fan $14.99 Fan Controller NZXT - SENTRY 3 Fan Controller $29.99 Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $869.86 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-01-09 19:51 EST-0500 I mainly use the system for 1080p gaming, browsing the web, streaming games I play, and editing videos / digital artwork. On 3DMark I obtain scores on FireStrike ranging from 6000-6350 depending on whether I overclock the CPU and GPU. All in all, I love my first build and look forward to making a new build (once I have enough of that ever so important resource, MONEY). Let me know what you all think! -Darkroe P.S.: In case you were curious, I am using a Logitech K120 Keyboard and a Logitech M510 mouse. I also bought an additional 8 GB of RAM, 200mm fans, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, and NZXT fan controller 1.5 years after building the system in Dec 2015, so at the time the system was ~$730.

I'm sure know one will look at it but hey at least i like it Build log Monitor: Lg 34uc79g-b 2560x1080 ultrawide Case: Nzxt S340 Mobo: Msi Z170a Tomahawk ac Gpu: Evga Geforce Gtx 1070 sc Cpu: I5 6600k @4.7 ghz Cpu cooler: Corsair H100Iv2 Ssd: PNY - CS1311 480GB Hdd: WD 1Tb Ram: Pny 16gb anarchy Psu: Corsair RM750x

So guys i have been trying to overclock my I56600K on my Asus H110m-a/m.2 motherboard and i have partialy succeded but the story never ended as i wanted it to... CPUZ = 3580-3597 mhz | 36x (8 - 42) My multiplyer just stays on 36x, in best case scenario i got 37x and even 38x 2-3 times when i was changing bios cpu core settings but eventualy i dont remember them and ended up here. Any guides or tips i shoud be aware since i am doing this few days and the result is the same. I am aware of knowledge that H110 motherboards can't overclock(or this is a lie (btw, thats why i am trying to OC)) but i just cant accept that since this is my old computer and i want him running even better than before.

Last time I did one of these I put like a giant novel at the start for the description so I'll just keep things simple. I want an upgrade to my Asus G75VW that's a solid air-cooled desktop pc that I can use for the coming years for a variety of multimedia production works. Music, graphic design, 3D modelling, gaming, content creation, streaming: I want no-holds barred on this thing. Except there are, because I've got a $1900 (USD) budget. Which sucks. A lot. If I had $3K then I wouldn't even be posting and I'd have a monster of a machine that would meet my needs for a long long time. So, here are the basics: $1900 USD Budget (ordering from West Virginia, USA) Aim is for web browsing, gaming, and content creation of all sorts (videos, music, and pretty much anything that can be defined in "multimedia") Intel + Nvidia please. Not to rat out the red team, it's just personal preference. (Also a DDR4-based system would be HEAVILY preferred. I have a need for speed.) Air cooling is preferred as well. Probably going to cap out at 1080p 60Hz gaming since I don't play many AAA titles, but I'd like a GPU that can handle high frame-rate 1440p or better just so I don't have to replace the damn thing in like a year. I just can't afford 1440p panels right now. SSD for a boot drive as well as storing my primary programs like the Adobe suite and my streaming software and PC screencap software (OBS and Action! if anyone's curious) Preferably 2TB of WD black for storage, I'd really like two of those for the sake of running the Raid setup that treats the two drives as one but gives me some assurance for file backups. Likely going to use an Elgato HD 60 Pro later on, so there's that. I'd REALLY like a MOBO with AC Wireless. I'd either need an absurd amount of cable to connect via LAN or I'd have to drill a big hole in my wall and I refuse to do that. PSU should be Gold or better. Case should be airflow optimized and have at least 2 5.25" bays available externally. Probably just going to get the MasterCase Pro 5 just because of how good a bargain Amazon's selling it at right now (ordering within a few days, probably) I want at least two monitors for the system. Preferably a minimum of 60Hz and having IPS monitors sounds pretty rad for artwork and stuff. The monitors will also be funded by that $1900 budget I do need peripherals as this will be my first build and thus do not have pre-existing peripherals to work with (I have a Logitech M185 mouse, but it's crap and is dying, just like my 4-year old laptop) I'd prefer something like the G710+ for the keyboard and the G700s for the mouse, but if there are cheaper equivalents then I can live with that. Preferably from a reliable and renown brand, though. None of that 3rd party "$10 Pro Gaming Mouse" garbage. The peripherals will ALSO be funded from that $1900 budget I'm upgrading more so out of necessity than want. My sound is glitching all the time in games and videos and frankly, this laptop wasn't that great from the start. I was just a dumb kid back when I bought this thing. I got it because it "looked cool" but over the years I've educated myself and realized I got a terrible sale with this thing. So yeah, if any of you would be willing to make some recommendations, that'd be fantastic. This community is awesome. P.S. As a note, this was what that ideal $3,000 build would have been: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Xx8RjX

Personally I still have an old imexx membrane keyboard and have never used a mechanical keyboard but would love to know how it feels eventually. Share your experience with your personal keyboards.
