Best birthday ever

[Daywalker_313]

I recently started trading and bought for the purpose of trading a new monitor XZ350CU 35” ultra wide and it’s connected to my 5 year old Acer laptop with an i5 (not sure the number lol) but it has 1.8GH and it has a small Nvidia card built in. It works relatively alright for trading though when I start opening more windows it struggles, let alone gaming, I tried to play fortnight but I only could get it to run on lowest settings and after 10 minutes my laptop did shut down. It was so hot I could have cooked a egg on it. 

 

Well ever since I bought me that nice monitor I was playing with the thought of getting me a new pc but my gf always said NO, being a good boy I listened to her lol. 

 

Well last week I got a mail with order confirmation of Sapphier RX Vega 64 limited addition, i7 8700, Asus rog stirx z370-f and 16Gb G.skill ram, with a email card from my gf wishing me happy birthday. Damit I’m I not the luckiest man around. 

 

To complete my set up I have bought me a corsair Z570, corsair H115i Pro AOI, Samsung 970 Evo 250Gb boot drive, 2TB Toshiba HDD, corsair HX850i PSU.

 

All parts coming in slowly and I will share a pic when the set up is complete, happy to hear your thoughts. 

 

Cheers

Happy birthday bud.

 

My birthday was recently too - I only got a (super nice) tshirt, and thanks to the recent Apple lawsuit, a free keyboard repair on my MacBook pro.

 

Damn, nice catch.

Haha thanks and happy belated b-day to you too. 

 

I had an amazing experience with Apple after two years of drama, Long story short I had a 9.7 pro with keyboard and pen and had to send in 6 times and every time a one to one exchange, called Apple support and they now upgraded me to a 10.5 pro with new keyboard and pen and best part I was allowed to purchase new Apple warranty, so not ipad with two years warranty. Didn’t expect that to happen but I won’t complain and I’m Super happy about it.

I now have a actual question, I just thought about OS for my new build and initially was thinking of using my old key from my laptop but if possible I’d rather get a new one and was reading up on OEM key’s. I found some for $12 for win 8.1 and it seems they can be used for win 10 activation.

 

Does anyone have experience with that? 

 

Thanks heaps
