Thanks folk, I decided to skip this

Could you elaborate on this please?

I'm upgrading my storage to transfer over some files from my current 1TB SSD, which is filling up. I came across this listing for a used 2013 3TB WD Red HDD for about $35 (converted from my currency). This was one of the better deals I found, and buying new isn't really an option since new HDD...

I recently used an old machine with a Pentium 2c/2t chip, 4GB RAM and a 500GB hard drive. Horrendous specs indeed, but to my surprise, it was quite snappy. Reason for this was probably because it was on Windows 10 version 1607, and had not been updated since. Does anyone know of any reliable...

Hmm alright. But again, will the RX 6500 XT run on Pcie 3 or Pcie 4?

I'm planning on building a PC with an i5 10400 and an RX 6500 XT (yes ik its a terrible card, but the only other cards at this price point are Quadros and the GTX 1050 Ti, and Im not keen on buying from the used market). I've heard that RX 6500 XT has terrible PCie 3.0 performance. My only...

Thanks!

For now. I'm going with a single 8gb ram stick. I won't need that many usb ports either, just 2 for keyboard and mouse. As for vrm, does the i5 11400 take in that much power to generate high temps? I saw some dude on youtube building a pc with an i5 10400, H410 and an rtx 3070, so based on that...

alright thanks

So I'm planning on building a PC in a month with an i5 11400, RX 6600 and an MSI H510 A PRO. I was wondering if the H510 would be capable for everyday tasks, because it is an entry level board. My usage plans- 7 hours of online class and work a day for 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) 2...

Also, it is a bit tough to fit in a good case in your budget. You could go for the Corsair 110R (4.1k), but it comes with only 1 chassis fan. The Deepcool Matrexx 40 comes with 3 fans, providing better thermals and maybe better aesthetics but that's only to me. You could also cut back on your...

CPU- i5 11400 (17k)- 17k in offline markets that is. Ram- XPG Adata 3200 Mhz 8GB Ram (2.9k) PSU- Gigabyte GP-P550B (3k). Btw, if you don't plan on buying a GPU in the future, you could go for the 450W variant of this PSU. This one's 550W and can take up to an RTX 3060. Motherboard- MSI H510 A...

i3 10100f is also approx 80 $ cheaper in my country

@mdd1963 , i also gave some thought and wondered if the i3 10100f would be good enough.. dont get me wrong, id take 6 cores over 4 cores any day. but im not exactly a hard core gamer, just someone who keeps gaming as a hobby. that'll become hard to keep up with soon, because i'll be entering...

Well the shop guy said that the reason it could have happened is if one of the screws holding the motherboard unloosened and came in contact with the motherboard pins. Try checking if thats the problem in your PC. And if it comes to the worst, Im afraid that you might have to claim warranty on...
