Predator Prebuilt or PCPartPicker Parts?

[FurdTurgeson]

Lots of P's. Anyway.

 

I'm seriously considering the Acer Predator 1070 version. It's on sale in some places $300 off. I wondered if there was a parts list just like the Predator, but maybe with an SSD extra too. If there's a better deal than the Predator, direct me to a thread to transfer my windows to a USB. Legally-ish.

You can download the Windows 10 iso free of charge from Microsoft's website, then buy a license for it later

Thanks, what about a predator like parts list but cheaper? Is there such thing around?

Listen to the secretary bird, he's giving good advice. Also, shouldn't it be wearing stockings and not a mask?

considering the acer machine is probably using bargain basement parts I'd say this is accurate

Damn.

The naming are son confusing. Why can't they be like EVGA or Corsair and name it differently

GQ it is then. Don't know any cheaper TIER 2

MMM PSU basement, time to put RGB PSU that will stay hidden

Looking at the acer predator prebuilt you want, this is about what it's worth. Give or take, it probably has slower RAM and no water cooler.

I wondered about overclocking a lot a year or so ago. Is there any benefit? Anyway to do it w\o restarting?

There is software that can OC in Windows but none is as good as doing it through the BIOS

 

Either way your computer will have to restart when it eventually hits an unstable configuration while stress testing, so do it in the BIOS

 

The performance gains can be significant, it depends on the workload. Back in 2011 and before overclocking meant a massive boost, now it's only slight.

All good save for that PSU. Don't get it, it will kill hard drives.

 

Instead pay the same for this
