What is the most disappointing thing you have ever heard from young PC builders?

[Duh_tech]

Do I need 1000gb of ram for my gaming pc?

And I have also herd this, " my gaming pc is, and i3 4170, 1gb of ram, some old dell mobo, and not graphics card. I'm going to play some CSGO."

The sad thing is that they most likely will not include a graphics card for budget reasons.

yup......

Server motherboard

22 core 44 thread xeon with wrong socket for motherboard

1TB of ram (DDR4) with the server board only compatible with DDR3

8 Quadro M6000s ($5,000 USD each)

2000W Super flower power supply

12 PCI-e 4TB SSDs with no space for them.

 

and some random case

 

"GAMING RIG WOOOOOOO"

What you on about? That is perfect! I love how all of the parts are so compatible

Steve: I just got all the parts for a new computer!

Other guy: Yes. Everything except the CPU

I feel sad

I'm expecting in future:

You didn't have quantum computers? 

You had only 4 threads? 

An 8TB hard drive was the best on market?

It took hours to download, burn, and install Windows?

 

How could you live like that?

This isn't anything a young person has said, but my friend has an i7-4770k and a GTX 960 2GB and plays mostly Rust and Minecraft. The most intensive game he owns is Battlefield 4.

Does he do any creative work?

 

I own a 4790k with a 960. The only game I really play is CSGO which isn't demanding so I wanted a powerful processor and a cheap CUDA card for video work.

"Wow, you got the new 980ti that just came out? You should have waited for Pascal, it's going to be 100x faster."

"I'm waiting for Zen, it'll be an intel killer."

That went in so many different directions so fast

No. He's 16.

"I ordered all the parts but... I forgot about the case"

[SamwiseDB]

That one guy who buys an overpriced AMD APU prebuilt with "R7 Graphics" thinking it's a dedicated GPU.

[Clanscorpia]

My friend does surveys to get Dogecoins (He's addicted to doges) and I'm like 'Why don't you mine? They're easy to mine and it wouldn't take as long as surveys. Him: 'Makes my PC to hot'. Legit answer until I see him running Folding on max

[Darkman]

Dude, my system is kickass. It has a FX 6300 and R7 250 and it can max l4d2 and 60fps chivalry maxed. It's better than any gaming laptop and computer around!

 

Always get an En-V-ae-D-eee-UH (Nvidia, shit you not, that's how he pronounces Nvidia...) graphics card for your Intel build.

 

What's an Xneonin? (Xeon) Sounds like a shitty cpu.

I didn't forget to order mine, but it did show up 3 weeks after everything else. So frustrating.

Wrong on so many levels...

Sounds like every gamer in Russia. Grammar and all.

[waxbytes]

Of course it's not like the Marketing and Sales part of the PC industry tries to keep everything easy to understand for the average Joe either. I mean video card naming schemes are all over the place with old chips being renamed  and OEM parts being whatever is left over after Christmas named as whatever the latest series is.

My DDR4 2400 can also be called PC4 19200 but actually runs at 1200 MHz  I/O bus from a 300 MHz Memory clock.  Not always easy to understand.

There are other  examples but I push the TL:DR

"my i7 in my laptop could crush your desktop i5 in gaming"   (i5 at 4.5ghz)

okay then .-.

That's actually true if it's a quad-core i7 - especially a i7 5950X (believe that was the 4GHz mobile one)

I really depends on the game, and it was the i7 quad at 3.4 ghz (boost) and 2.6ghz (stock)

I know they would be similar if my i5 was at stock, but the i7 would come nowhere near "crushing" the i5

Mobile i7s (quads) are essentially Xeon E3 1231v3s or higher - trust me, you're not beaintg it in MC scenarios with an i5 - no way

whats a cpu core? my friend asked that after saying he knew a lot about computers

Quad-core CPUs are essentially 4 processors in the same die
