interesting, i would see if u can get cheaper ram from kingston or gskill and try and get an SSD or a better HDD like a caviar black from WD, which would increase performance

Looks good, in the future if I were you, I'd consider getting an aftermarket heatsink.

1. Drop the OS - get a better CPU

2. Get 12GB RAM

[Pallaix]

And I dont want to break 1300$

[therussianpotato]

that cpu might be a bottleneck for that 760

you cant just say that! you need to tell him why! 

and tell him the meaning of bottlenecking!

[Pallaix]

planning on getting a 240mm all in one afterwards

[Pallaix]

you forgot the os

and i could get rid of the drive and buy the disk and move it to usb right?

[therussianpotato]

basically when a component is slowing down another because its not powerful enough

 it dosent nessersarly mean slowing down just not leting it preform its best! thats how i like to think of it

taking some thing big and power full and trying to push it down in to some thing smaller and less power full

but i stil dont think "bottelneck" is a good word for explaneing a problem that can be caused by meany difrent things

[Hoppa]

@Pallaix 

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer

Basically it means once you install the OS on that computer it can't be installed on another computer (usually tied to the motherboard or CPU)

Although I have completely changed computers and everything was fine... but ignore that lol.

 

If you want to install that same OS on a new computer (when old computer is too old or whatever) you may have to call up microsoft and tell them that you had to replace your motherboard because it broke etc etc and you need the key to be activated again.
