Ya that's true. Just looking for some options before jumping into it. ATM I am open to anything. If I have to get mid to full tower case I can do that. Just trying to see what I can get for decent performance with the GPU. Sorry for the late reply. The holiday's and life in general is...

This will be for my personal gaming PC for at home. I was looking somewhat cheap. Holidays drained my wallet. Just looking for some options. I am content with decent graphics from high to ultra settings like i usually am. I don't care about 4k cuz i only have a Dell U3011 monitor. It is 27inch...

Its a small church that I m building this for. The office lady just wanted a dependable one. The one they are using now is an old Optiplex 790 and its giving them trouble because its so slow. It had 2gb ram but I upgraded it to 4 but they still complained about it. Probably because of the small...

I am used to building Intel gaming systems. Now I am thinking of building a Ryzen gaming system. However, I don't know anything about Ryzen CPU's. I have just purchased RX 580 8gb. I just need to know what MOBO and Ryzen CPU will work great with the GPU for games.

I saw a couple on amazon like that for roughly same price but I was not sure how reliable they were because they were refurbished.

Sorry for the late reply. Life got crazy at home with the family. Thanks for the advice!

I need a cheap build just for an office PC running Quickens, Quickbook, and Excel. Any ideas?

I fig it would be overkill. So far I am looking at these items: Motherboard - MSI ProSeries B450M PRO-VDH Plus PSU - EVGA 450 BT 100-BT-0450-K1 CPU - AMD Athlon 200GE AM4 CPU Cooler - AMD Wraith Stealth Socket AM4 GPU - Gigabyte GV-N1030OC-2GI Ram - Patriot Signature Line 2 x 4gb DDR4 2400MHz...

Oh, I did not know that. That would explain why my wife's puter was running crappy with the A4 in it before I replaced it with the AMD Athlon X4 870K. My daughter can play Overwatch on normal settings with me just fine. With the "AMD 200GE, 2x4GB 2400Mhz DDR4 RAM, A B450 Motherboard and a 1030...

I have came across an AMD A4 4000 APU processor and a Zalman ZM850-HP 850 watt PSU in my parts bin. I also found an Intel Pentium G3220 and a Biostar TA7890GX A2+ mobo. I prob won't use the mobo and the Intel Pent because they are very old. Would the A4 work?

Thanks, I will take that into consideration. My mind is open for any other advice you may have.

You guys on "tomshardware.com" are a godsend. You guys help so many people. I have learned so much from you fine folks. Thank You. I was tasked to build a PC for MediaShout for my church. I have experience with building Gaming PC's. However, I am no expert by far. Just a simple novice. My...
