I don't have a machine with windows 7.

This this build ok?

 

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 860K 3.7GHz Quad-Core Processor

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-F2A78M-HD2 Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard

Memory: Corsair ValueSelect 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Storage: Western Digital WD Blue 500GB 2.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Video Card

Case: Cooler Master N200 MicroATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply: Corsair CXM 450W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit)

Looks mostly good to me, but why that hard drive? Not just a caivar blue 1 tb?

Also, I have the N200, and I kind of regret getting it. I'd go with the Thermaltake core v21

So, windows 10 is included in the 500?, good luck then, without touching secondhand parts I don't think the $500 build will be worth it.

I am in Australia so prices are very different here

Go for a Phenom processor (if there is no intense gaming)

Maybe shoot for either a 750ti or a radeon 6950
 

 

Defs 8GB ram

Sloth's the name, audio gear is the game
I'll do my best to lend a hand to anyone with audio questions, studio gear and value for money are my primary focus.

hmmm, to ease the burden of buying a windows ten key, do you by chance have a machine that runs 7 or higher that you are not using? if so, you should be able to use that key to activate windows 10, assuming you have a way to download win10 in the first place

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.
