Hey guys,

 

Need your help for the last time. My budget is around 1200$.

I'm planning to game and can get my hands on the OS for cheaper. Should I get a better mouse and keyboard or should I get 16GB of Ram ( thinking of starting to edit videos ) and change my mouse and keyboard later?

 

Thanks!

go with 16GB of RAM

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Thamks, but heard a lot of bad stuff about pirating windows. 

who said pirate it?

 

you can get legit product keys off of dead laptops. plus if you have win7 or win8, then win10 will be free.

How do you do it? Just buy/get  an old laptop and then?

ask your friends for old dead laptops that run win7. look at the bottom. write down the code. instal win7, input code.

 

when win10 comes out upgrade to win10.

how do you mean, look at the bottom?

yeah they come with labels. it's a blue label with a product code on it. should have a vertical rainbow bar down it.

 

new win8 laptops don't though. the win8 code is now in the bios. don't ask me how, i don't know.

You can get more RAM later, and also change up your peripherals if you want. I added an SLI capable motherboard and a PSU that can handle it. Slightly better monitor for slightly less. The case I added is similar to the 200R but is much nicer to look at. This ends up being the same price as your spec, but you get nicer things.

Thanks! But think I will stick to the 200r, because I like the clean look of it ;p

What periphirals would you suggest? My budget is 1200$
