Emran Elsamra is in need

[Emran Elsamra]

Hello Linus, or anyone reading this! I’m a less than 16 year old boy who really would love to be apart of building a fan a pc series. I’m rocking a pc which is a HP pavilion with no gpu and I game with its inorgrated cpu graphics.... It’s a I7 6700 which is good like I’m happy with it but I have no space for gpu I bought a Gt 1030 and yes I mean a 1030 because i couldn’t afford anything else and it was a waste of money because it didn’t fit. I have a rgb desk with razer equipment and a snowball mic so I look like a gamer but I can’t eveen run games. I have a 1080 monitor which is upsetting and annoying because it’s 22 cwq so there’s so much glitches  I watch you every day believe me if I were to go on your series I can build the whole pc by myself (with a little help with peeling the plastic off things because I know you love to) I really love you to your full of joy and energy maybe it’s the Canadian in you! I really would love to have my dream computer become a reality and you can definitely help me. And by the way I got all my razer things on Black Friday I ended up paying 130 usd for all of it so I look like a gamer while I can’t do anything on my pc.

welcome to the Linus Tech Tips forums!

 

currently, there is no scheduled 'build a fan PC' giveaway. but you never know what brews in the LMG HQ.

[Emran Elsamra]

Thanks I greatly appreciate it. Just when there’s a open spot I’m your man..!!

Why would you waste money on an RGB keyboard, mouse, mouse pad, and a fancy microphone if you're going to just have shit tier hardware? I think the real issue here isn't that you can't afford to buy a better PC, it's that you spend your money on the wrong things. I feel as though anyone other than you should be in a build a fan a PC video0. Also, you bought a GT 1030 without checking if it would fit? You also have no idea how to build a computer obviously, just another reason for it to not be you. And while I'm talking about the GT 1030, wtf do you mean it doesn't fit? It is a PCI-E x16 card, it looks like you got the slot, so how the fuck could it NOT FIT? I'm sorry this post is just so ludicrous I don't even understand how this post could exist.

Here's an idea:

Chill the fuck out

 

the kid obviously doesn't know what he's doing but you sure as hell aren't doing him a favor right now.

You could try to enter an LTT giveaway or something to the sorts in the future, but the odds are pretty low. I would really recommend finding a summer job tbh.

Depending on what GT 1030, it may very well not fit. Look at where the 24-pin is.

Dang dude, did you have to whack his peepee so hard?  Obviously all of us did not start at the top of the pile and for sure this kid has a ways to go before he gets there but I don't think your condemnation was required or necessary.  Like the other guy said, "Chill the fuck out".

If he ran into that issue, why not just buy a riser cable and be done?

I guess you were born with all the money and knowledge. The guy is clearly not a tech savvy, and your comments are not helping at all.

Thanks man I appreciate it. I really did nothing wrong so I don’t understand why your so mad....: But man I got the pc as a gift from my parents on my birthday it was the first Pc I have ever used really so I thought it was a beast. Also from family members they gave me around 50 dollars. I saved a little bit and on Black Friday I got rgb stuff and a mic. Then I started understanding computers more and watching many builds. I took apart a old desktop and put it back together I wanted a gpu hoping it would be better but it wouldn’t fit I wasn’t that tech savvy to know that it needed to be specific measurement to fit. Now I watched over 1000 tech building videos from Linus and a couple other people I do know how to build a Pc. And clearly you don’t know that basically half of Linus winners haven’t built a computer in there life while i one took apart and put it together so stop assuming! And the card didn’t fit because if your not blind you can see the wiring on top of the card slot blocked any card from being put in. And I think I have just as good of a chance as anyone else and don’t you dare ever talk to anyone like that cursing them out without even knowing them or telling them that there’s no way there going to win something because no my lucks not good I’m just a kid who wants to game like basically everyone else and not get fucking bullied for the shit ass computer I have so just stop right now think before you type and don’t ever do this to anyone.

Thansk man but I’m to young for a summer job because most of the jobs you have to be like 15-16 like to work summer camp or stuff like that

See thank you I was just gonna if I could be a winner but no I have to get cursed at for nothing

While you may not immediately have the money for a good graphics card; that system should support a single slot card if you can find one. The main issue would be the power supply, but a budget (rx 550/560 or gtx 1050/1050ti) card shouldn't cause problems. Send back the 1030 you bought, get your money back, save for a bit while looking for single slot cards online, and buy one when you have enough money. At the same time take some time to educate yourself on PCs in general, and maybe even mess around with programming.

 

Also, the iGPU on the 6700 should be good enough for low settings in games like rocket league and even medium settings in CS:GO (Can confirm from personal experience; I used my 6700k's iGPU to play those games for a month until I was able to get my 1060). Give those games a try (Team Fortress 2 is free and runs on pretty much everything too), and you should be able to enjoy your PC while you save up for a GPU.

Reminds me of my first rig, except yours is probably like 10 or 20 times faster lol

That case looks SFF (that fan is 80mm) and the card must be too big for it...

 

btw wtf happened to the stock Intel fan? there's another 80mm fan glued on top of the heatsink... Oh that rig sure has seen better days but now all it needs is a bit of love, a LP graphics card and maybe some modding

@Emran Elsamra what's the model of yout 1030? There might be a chance you find a proper bracket

Why is a LP card necessary? That case is normal width. A SS card is what OP needs.

Idk what i had, it was an old packard bell. Earlier than a celeron and pentium i believe.

 

Pretty sure it had a windows 95 sticker on it too.

 

Edit just checked..

 

50mhz 48-sx2

4mb ram

340mb hdd

Cirrus logic gpu 1mb

Floppy drive & CD

Pb450 mobo

 

Pacard bell legend 10cd

I use to watch the light flicker as it was doing work, and making those awesome computer sounds. Was windows 3.11

This doesn't seem like a very difficult fix. You already know how to work with computer parts from what you stated earlier. Have you thought about buying a cheap case and simply transferring all of your parts into the other case? That would be the cheapest and easier solution. You could possibly get some decent playable results on some games if you overclock the GPU. Cases are cheap when you look and you could have a nicer looking and more "gamer" looking setup when you're done.

I was going to buy is the mother board which is the issue because the wiring doesn’t allow my gpu to fit and it’s just the pc is pretty old now

Thanks man but I just want to run my gpu first to see how it runs I don’t have enough money for anything really I’m at -27 dollars in my bank account and can’t get out of it

Refund your 1030. Debt is really not a thing you want, especially at this age.

 

Your 6700’s iGPU will work fine until you can save to buy a GPU.
