Anyway, i'm gonna do another version of my post which is "guess what it is."

Guess the year my build was bought or built, if it was prebuilt or not, it's specs and it's price.
I don't really want to write another wall of text saying about the entire build and impress people already, so i want you people to guess.

*waits for the correct answer*

You say to guess your build, what year it was built in etc. Which means you have already bought it. Which means your non techie level is at least as high as the retailers since you bought it even thought it was shit.

I didn't buy it, my parents bought it and then gave it to me. I was like 1 or 2 years old at that time.

It was pretty obsolete by the year my parents bought it and it was marketed as a "Gaming PC".
Sigh. It without Optifine can barely run Minecraft. MINECRAFT REQUIRES ATLEAST A PENTIUM TO WORK

Exactly what i was thinking, also we were never told what the build was, so we cannot guess when it was built.

Hint: When i went to hardware store and they looked up my GPU which they never heard of before they laughed at the CUDA Cores like it was from the stone age or something. Oh, and it's weaker than a GT210.

I do not know your age but lets say you are very young, i do not expect a 10 year old pc to be able to run minecraft. Also checked your profile, you do not use a psu? WTF? I would say thats pretty much impossible.

I don't know the PSU, probably some 250W thing beacuse my PC requires 205W to run. Also only the CPU is 9-10 years old, from my knowledge.

Then you are still using a psu

8 cuda cores? That's the GeForce 8 series, Tesla architecture, released almost 10 years ago.

I didn't, just forgot to press "SUBMIT REPLY" or nothing went in when i clicked that button. And it's not the GeForce 8 series. It was released 7 years ago and is even worse than the GeForce 8 series which is from 10 years ago. It is worse than the 8400 GS on Shading and Floating Point performance a.k.a. " How fast the gpu can crunch numbers ". Oh, and the processor is from 9 years ago (around), and i replaced with a 10 year old one beacuse i thought it was better beacuse of the GHz.

Just saw a guy saying a 970 is 1.5x faster than an rx 480, why? Because one benchmark at the 6th page in google search said so... being a fanboy at that point, you don't deserve toi be considered as a tech guy ^^

A truly informed person needs to take all things into consideration before making a decision on something. And the person you referenced is not doing that.

yeah, especially when there are 5 pages of reviews putting it a bit above a 970 before then.. Some people just never learn

Except for RAM, right?

Nope. 1GB = 1000MB. 1GiB = 1024MB. Windows measures RAM in GiB and MiB and not GB or MB.

that URL is hilarious  

A person who knows her personally, said they work as supervisors for Apple tech support. And there is a gofundme page to help her out. There is another doctor who can save her, but due to insurance problems, she has to wait another year. Her story needs to spread out more, so she gets the helps she needs.

No other places have it, except DM.

Isn't a 480 supposed to be about even with a 970?  I think I'd seen people on these boards guessing it'd be around equal to 980 but after they saw benchmarks I think it was said to be more like a 970.  I could be wrong of course.

Yup, which is why that person was either a fanboy or was not using his head (aka being an idiot).
