    Need opinions on new build.

    I would look for a better quality computer case. Looks like you building a nice computer but looking at a cheap case. I'm use a Coolmaster HAF XB Evo for my main rig. I really like the airflow it offers and nice cable management. The front bezel mesh also acts like a dust filter which helps to...

    If you are asking about the room temperature. The computer is in the coldest part of the house. In the winter time this part of the house can get cold. I need a electric heat pad on my bed just to keep warm. It's around 60 degree fahrenheit give or take couple degrees. Right now we are in a...

    New build

    I would get least a 650 watt power supply. If you are looking at the GTX 980 or the R9 290x video cards. The GTX 980's I seen online says minimum 500W Power Supply. While a chart I looked at says recommended PSU for a R9 290X is 650 watts. The Cooler Master 350 Plus really lacks the amps on the...

    AMD FX 8320 question.

    I seen some videos on youtube where people showed the noise level of the stock HS. That's why I came here about if my hyper 212 plus would work on the FX 8320. Once I install the new hardware and reinstall windows. I think my GPU will be the new bottleneck of the computer. lmao

    Vista OS and SSDs... bad idea?

    I do computer repair for people now and then has a hobby. If something is not worth fixing/upgrading I tell them straight up. Some people thinks you can just install a new OS on any old system and have a new computer. Then they come back and whine how slow the computer is running. I refused to...

    Vista OS and SSDs... bad idea?

    Out of those SSD's I would choose one of the Crucial SSD. Comparing both Crucial SSD's the M550 scored little higher in benchmarks from what I seen over the M500.

    Vista OS and SSDs... bad idea?

    It sounds like the client is a basic user and don't understand computers well enough to fix them if anything goes wrong. I would at least use Window 7 on the AM2+ if you plan on placing a SSD in it. As we know Windows 7 has built in trim support for SSD's. I also find upgrading the AM2+...
