Passable, switch the Processor for an Intel core i7 2600K, or even the older brands, but its passable, certainly not bad at all it'll run quite a bit very well. I'm just not a fan of AMD processors.

Thanks, Batch. How about we restart our relationship?

*Pats* Alrighty, lets try again. So you like ATI Radeon? Because nVidia have pretty reliable cards, the R9 has had some cases where it heats up very quickly.

I'll search a few cards and ref you a few.

Batch · June 12, 2015, 04:36:40 AM

Also a larger power supply, 600W would be just fine, just with these new cards, if you ever want to just upgrade the card, seeing as these are getting larger and more powerful, the power supply cant cope, had the issue myself. Whats the price range also?

Desty · June 12, 2015, 04:40:13 AM

Aproximately $550

This is what Im currently running, might be a bit too much for your costs, but this thing works a dream, if you are willing to pay the extra I say go for it, it's not Titan (an nVidia card almost a grand in cost) levels of power but damn it does a good job.

Slightly cheaper option to what Im running, valso fits snug into your motherboard.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487091&cm_re=nvidia_graphics_cards-_-14-487-091-_-Product

More cheap options, same go, less power but still can run a lot of games at max. We're just talking these crazy titles running at 4K, but unless you forked out the couple thousand for the monitor.....I dont see.....anyone doing that realistically.

Do I need an operating system?

Batch · June 12, 2015, 05:25:33 AM

Windows 7, 8 is very confusing and did a lot of things wrong....I have no idea about Windows 10.

If you get Win7 you can upgrade to Win10 for free if you feel like something more modern, but 7 does the job plain and simple

Desty · June 12, 2015, 05:27:06 AM

Damn it, it went up to about 600 bucks, but I'm willing to save up to that.

Batch · June 12, 2015, 05:27:07 AM

That builds looking to be a very spicy meatball, though I'd still change to an intel processor.

Uhhh.....I dont know, you'd have to do some research on the AMD card.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117372&cm_re=intel_i5_processor-_-19-117-372-_-Product

I'd reccomend that, but price wise it's stepping over. So, for the price the AMD will do the job very nicely, do some quick research on the AMD card and it should be fine, just to solidify your decision.

No, fuck that. Let's talk about the operating systems.

So the Chrome OS looks good, but I think that you have to buy the Linux one to get to that one.

It says that Linux is free http://www.lugod.org/presentations/intro2linux/page5.html
but is that correct? Can I just download the disc from another computer and use it for mine free-of-charge?

m8 I'm past freaking out and I'm now one of those war general trying to rationalize things.

Of course, it's just software, you'd only need to install updates, it only picks up something if it'd been used a dozen times or whatnot, if it was used once then you can use it again, they assume if a PC breaks, the CD itself wasnt an entire waste of money and a one time usage.

So yeah, if you can lend a copy of a friends, thats only been used once or twice then bam.

Ironically you need windows to install Linux, which is free yes...but you need windows....or Mac *shivers* to do it. If you didnt have an OS, your computer would have a lot numbers and thatd be that xD

Update that version of Win7 to 10 if you want and Micro$oft would be none the wiser.

If you're on PC what youre currently using is the OS, that is how the computer calculates numbers and spits them into what you see, if you didnt have that, you cant do anything with your computer.

Yes, I get that, but the download is in a disc, so wouldn't it be possible to copy that disc's data?
