I have put together some computer parts in PCPartPicker for now just to better visualize what I may be getting. Let me know if you recommend some parts over others in my list. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Cats869/saved/rgXqmG Thanks. 32GB ram should suffice and worst case, I can always throw...

I see. I somehow did not realize that the base clock speeds are different... I must be confusing it and thinking that they were the same like they did back in the old days with the i7-2600k which I'm still using :) . In that case, I think I might go with the i7-10700K or AMD equivalent. I guess...

Thanks, So probably Ryzen 7 or i7 and 64GB of RAM then. Not sure if it is important to get the "K" to overclock via the multiplier and may jsut get the regular i7-10700. Kind of funny now that I think about it if I have to overclock a computer for office work :) And in a sense, yes, it could be...

So just talked with them and it seems they usually pull like 20 instances of Adobe Acrobat/Reader, 50 Chrome tabs, 10 excel spreadsheets and 10 word documents for example. I guess they were planning to have 4x 4K monitors and have all or most of that information displayed at one time (with some...

Yeah, just confirmed that they already have 4 monitors and they are ALL 4K monitors. Since they will mostly be handling documents and not a lot of media, I might go with 2TB SSD for now and they can always upgrade later. I will need to double check and ask them how are they doing storage wise on...

I had a similar issue but running with HP laptops. I spent some time looking into it but couldn't quite figure out the issue. The throttling happened in Windows but not in my Hackingtosh OS so it was quite strange. Could be a OS thing (where the OS throttles the CPU but not outside of the OS)...

Hello, So I'm not sure how much faster the R5 3400G will be when it comes to running so many office programs? They told me that their current computer could not handle running so many office programs and possibly the browser at the same time. I think their current configuration of the Surface...

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I last posted here. I used to follow PC hardware a lot when I was active on Tom's Hardware but lately have been busy so I'm somewhat out of the loop. One area that I'm lacking is knowing which parts is suitable for what usage. I have a general idea but I...

Just updated my problem, refer to 2nd update in my first post. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this, otherwise, this card may just be a paperweight for me even though it kind of works.

Sorry for the delay, added pictures of the graphics card so you guys can take a look. Will test it on the test setup computer again soon. Also, please disregasrd any dust or fur you see on my card, I'll just make sure to clean those the next time I put it together.They weren't there beforehand...
