Posted October 2, 2020 That build doesn't have an SSD and will be PAINFULLY SLOW. You'll need to also buy an SSD (which is like $40) QUOTE/TAG ME WHEN REPLYING Spend As Much Time Writing Your Question As You Want Me To Spend Responding To It. If I'm wrong, please point it out.

My boot times from power to windows is about 10s on my ( I think) cahceless sata drive. Ive heard that they could be less than 5 seconds on cached pcie drives. Plus ssds will improve the window open times. like chrome ould take ~10s to load on a hdd and ~2 on the ssd (same system) I could use some help with this!

Posted October 2, 2020 you can get the same shit for £100 cheaper if you build yoursellf. not that I;d advise you to get these parts, as they are bad. PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3400G 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Processor £125.99 @ AWD-IT Motherboard Asus PRIME A320M-K Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard £46.87 @ AWD-IT Memory Corsair Vengeance LPX 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL16 Memory £31.18 @ Aria PC Storage Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive £34.79 @ Amazon UK Case KOLINK INSPIRE K2 RGB MicroATX Mini Tower Case £27.99 @ Currys PC World Power Supply Aerocool Integrator 500 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply £36.49 @ Amazon UK Wireless Network Adapter TP-Link TL-WN881ND PCIe x1 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter £11.99 @ Amazon UK Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total £315.30 Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-10-02 20:24 BST+0100 I wouldn't pay 25% of the cost of the build for assebly. go to cclonline for example and configure a build and you'll pay much less than £100 for them to assemble it and ship it to you. this way you'll be able to get a b450 board (a320 are useless), a ssd and dual channel ram.

And it doesn't cost that much. Only thing I'm saying is don't buy pre-builds from amazon/ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
