Firstly, your motherboard has one m.2 slot for m.2 ssds or nvme drives. Desktop cases vary a lot. So, yours necessarily will not have the same storage expansion mechanisms as say for example the drive bays in the video I linked you before. So, yes you might not have a drive bay in your case...

That crossed my mind, but as he didnt mention any brand name with the gtx 1060, I thought it would be good to warn him.

From the link you provided, I can't pinpoint the mobo model but it says its a b350 atx mobo. And it also says there is one m.2 slot and 2 2.5" and 2 3.5" bays. So from that I can infer that there is enough expansion space for a user. You can easily install a m.2 ssd or nvme drive in the m.2...

Even though you are saying that your temperatures are fine it would be useful if you let me know what your cpu and gpu temperatures are after an hour of gameplay. And which tool are you using to measure cpu and gpu temperatures? Moreover, make sure you have the current drivers for your 940m...

tbh your specs seem fine for 1080p gaming. But form what you have said if you want to add a 2070, its best if you can find an i7 to replace your i5. Something like a 4770 or 4790 would be alright if you can find them for a good price. Also you must make sure you have a powerful enough psu that...

From what I could see from the link, it says its running a ddr4 2133 mhz ram stick. its highly recommended that you get another one of the exact same brand and specs, which would be the best case scenario. But if you cant get the same ram stick, try to find another one that would match the specs...

From what you have said, this is what I can tell you, Yes, the 7500 can be a slight "bottleneck" in your system, i.e. if you compare what a 7700k could do when paired with a 970. I assume with a much stronger cpu (something like a 7700k) in your system you can maybe expect to see a fps...

its late, but if you still havent bought a laptop. For music production you need good cpu power and decent ram capacity. I would say get a laptop with the best cpu that is under your budget. And make sure you have at least 8 gbs of ram.

I see you will be using a mini pcie slot for your setup. So that will hinder the performance of the desktop gtx 960 as the full bandwidth needed by it wont be available through a mpcie. And that might mean that 5500u wouldnt be that much of a bottleneck which it could have been if the gtx 960...

Just so you know, there are a few variants of both the 940mx and 530. There are gddr5(fast) and ddr3(much slower) memory versions of both. Also there are different memory sizes of both - 2 gb and 4 gb variants (tbh, memory sizes dont really matter for these gpus, as much as the memory type...

Firstly try cpu-z as mentioned above or you could open up powershell on your laptop and run the following command, Get-CimInstance CIM_Processor. If you are still not satisfied with what you find, the sure shot way to actually determine the name of cpu would be to find the specification sheet...

i5 8250u would be easily the best choice here if light editing, AE, and rendering are your main priorities, as it has 4 core 8 threads vs 2 core 4 threads of the 7200u. That is because what you mentioned as your use cases (content creation activities) are more dependent on core and thread...

Firstly, make sure you have the right drivers for your mx130. Next, check if your mx130 has ddr3 memory. Ddr3 mx 130 might be lower than a mx940 with gddr5. Moreover, make sure your mx130 is not overheating. Also, take all precautions so that your CPU is not under performing. check if your...

Try to install an older version of intel xtu, https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/9pf6zv/surface_book_2_intel_xtu_issue/ next, undervolt it, and heres another link that can help you undervolt it https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/8puykg/xps_13_9360_with_8th_gen_undervolting/...
