Hello everyone, About 8 months ago, I built my first desktop, the specs are below: Mobo: ASUS M5A78L-m cpu: AMD FX 4350 gpu: EVGA geforce gtx 1050 psu: antec 750W hard drive: WD 1 TB 7200 RPM Anyway, to the point. I admit there are many beginner mistakes I made with this build, including the...

You could possibly try defragmenting the drives, that might help some

Does your system register 8GB of RAM installed? It's possible that one might not be plugged in all the way. Also, have you opened task manager to check for background tasks eating resources?

What speed is your hard drive and what are the specs of your RAM?

If you can get a motherboard that uses ddr3 RAM, I would. Also, I would not buy the RAM new. To save money, check for any electronics recyclers in your area. I built a workstation and only spent $20 on the case, power supply, optical drives, and all fans combined.

I bought a 70W variable voltage laptop charger for $10, and it will operate the power tools just fine, but I was worried about damage that it could be causing, so I did just purchase an off-brand battery and charger. cost around $35

Hello all, I'm looking for recommendations for the most reliable touch-screen laptop under $400. It needs to run general tasks like Microsoft Office and light internet tasks. Outside of that, I'm just looking for the most bang for the price. Long-lasting, good battery life, decent cpu, good...

How would something like this work? MSI Radeon R7 250, 128-bit oc ddr3. I looked through various compatibility checkers, and as far as I can tell, it supports 760G chipset. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127763 All of the R7 250 options I can find have OC, which would...

Hello everyone, I am looking for a new graphics card to run my dual monitors, light autodesk inventor, support some low-resource games like War Thunder (I am not a huge gamer, but I do enjoy playing some free pc games), and generally to switch away from the integrated graphics on my motherboard...
