I’m going to be using an old computer I’m getting for free and I wanted to recycle it in some way to limit the tech waste. I want to make a home NAS using freenas but didn’t know minimum specs needed. the computer is boosting a very powerful core 2 duo e4300 and 4 gigs of ram @800 (I believe it’s ddr3 but not positive). i would only be storing pictures and documents on it so no crazy large files or anything. I wouldn’t be apposed to putting in a better cpu or ram if it’s not too expensive

I found an old graphics card in a box at my parents place. It’s a GeForce 8600 gt. I was wondering what would happen if I put it in my pc just to see how it runs? Also if I did would could I just plug it into another pci express slot or would I have to remove my current graphics card

A ryzen 5 2600, 32 gigs ram, rx 580

If I can ever get it to work I’ll add you. It won’t work on Bethesda launcher either

I'm going to be building my dad a new pc because the one he uses now is a low tier one from 2005. He doesn't do much besides surf the web/YouTube, definitely no gaming so I'm only going to be putting in 8 gigs of ram. I am gonna use a ryzen cpu and the mobo will only have 2 dimm slots. Would it be better to go two stick of 4 for that dual channel or would it not matter much and I should go one stick of 8 for expandability down the line?

yeah ive seen some people have just refunded off of steam and gone bethesda... might do that

just bought and downloaded fallout 76 off of steam and first time trying to launch the game it just goes to a black screen like its about to launch, and then just goes back to my desktop. I tried launching the game from the desktop shortcut, from steam, and from radeon software but all crashed. anyone have this issue?

Do you know how to do that on CC Windows? When I look online I see instructions for older versions.

yes it went to grid view and i was able to go back into the original view mode, and was able to switch pictures but with a little lag

edit. i have to close the app and reopen it each time. im also using lightroom CC

this is an issue ive had for months now, lightroom works flawlessly up until i go to crop the photo. When i crop a photo, it crops it, but then its frozen on that picture and i cannot select another picture. im not sure what it is, it has to be a software issue as my computer runs fine otherwise, im typing this out as lightroom itself is frozen

I’m wanting to get fallout 76 but not sure if I should get it for console (Xbox one) or pc. I played other fallouts all on Xbox but I’m new to pc gaming. Any one know which route I should go?

I have 32 gigs of ram and would probably be editing hd maybe some 4K. But the r9 is definitely out of price range, and I feel would be overkill for my system. Right now I have a rx 580 but will upgrade that too, just waiting to see what new cards come out and if the old ones dip in price. I’ll look for a good deal on the 3800x but read that it’s not too much better performance than the 3700x.

I have an aftermarket cooler already. Plenty of overhead for over clocking. And by heavier gaming I mean just playing more intense games still 1080.

I’m looking into doing some more video editing as well as some heavier gaming. I’m currently rocking at R5 2600 but looking to upgrade. Would a R7 3700X be a good upgrade path? I’m on a Asrock B450M Pro4 MoBo.
