I can't just buy a new motherboard?

Ok so forget the windows 11 thought. Is there a way to upgrade the processor so the filters sucks as "blur" on zoom can be used? If not how much would a new motherboard cost that is win 11 capable (down the road) and will support the filters on zoom? Can I use the ran from my current...

So back in 2015 (cant believe it was that long ago) you guys helped me put together a computer for my parents, I dint't totaly cheap out on this so I am hoping I have some options. Post #16 in this old THREAD show the components that I bought. That thread is closed so I had to make a new one...

Hey again guys, I know this is an old thread but I need some more advice. My parents computer I built is still doing ok, its getting slow so Id like to upgrade a few things as well as windows 11, but ill need a new processor windows is tilling me. Id like to upgrade the WiFi card too. My dad...

Thanks for the reply!. A while back I put in a i5 430m which was better but not like I hoped. So the i7 620m will work in my NV79? Will heat be an issue? There is not much room to upgrade the heat sink in there. I do have a cool pad with 2 fans that run off USB that it sits on. You...

Hey thanks allot for all your input Bossyfins, I really appreciate it. I bought everything today and its all on the way. Again I really appreciate everyone's suggestions. It helped me out a lot!

Correct, not going to Over Clock. So The ASrock is a good board to go with? I thought you said Asus and Gigabyte are the best? And do I need a video card for that monitor? Or is it built in to the MB?

So here is what I have been putting together, please let me know if you would change something or if there is something better for the price. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/kQGNjX Also I think the mother board I chose has wifi built in, so I dont need the extra wifi card right? And do I need a video...

So is there a general consensus that agrees what brand of mother board is the best? Everyone's build uses a different one and while i realize everyone is partial to what they like, is there one manufacture that has less bad reviews/boards? Also as far as monitors goes, the same thing. There...

Ok so I finally had a chance to look at my parents computer. They have a ACER with an AMD IIx2 215 2.70Gz, 4gb ram, 64bit win, and a 1tb hard drive which they are currently using only 92.4 GB total (this is OS, programs, pictures, email, etc. So I am thinking a 256gb SSD would be more then...

So everyone seems to be in agreement with the i3-4150 3.5GHz, is this a popular CPU or just a reliable one? I am guessing this will be plenty for what they want to do? And do the fans or heat sinks come with these? I didn't see any on anyone's list. I was looking at different cases and I...

Thanks for the responses guys. So question for OUtlander, what makes the MSI a junk mother board? and Why is Intel bad for graphics? Remember this is just for my parents and they will never need a super duper graphics card as its just basic stuff they do. But if your meaning the card is junk...

So my parents usually buy the package systems from retail stores and they only last a few years. They use them for quick books, internet, email, storing photos and sometimes music. I would like to build them a desktop computer with components that will last them along time. They will never...

SO how about something like this Corsair TX750W Its on the tier 2 class A. A side question on the ULTRA PSU that I have, is it just cheap capacitors that cause the damage? What is it specifically that makes it a tier 5 psu?

So my PSU is basically just a throw away? What makes a PSU not trustworthy? So if I did use this PSU, whats the kind of issues would it cause? I was thinking if it were just a matter of dieing early and I could use it until it did so and then down the line buy a better one when this one goes...
