Hey, do you happen to have another RAM slot available to pop some more memory in? Also—just curious—which motherboard are we actually working with here?

To be honest, you don't really see viruses on porn sites themselves—it’s mostly on those torrent sites, especially the ones where the download counts are low and there aren't many positive comments to back them up.

$1167 If they actually pull it off, they'll be lucky. Honestly, I don't see them getting anything more than that.

That’s definitely true—but if he’s already running an IPS panel, then I’d say it’s 😲

+1, I’m right there with you on the graphics card—and honestly, I can't justify dropping the cash for a new monitor either. Buying something just three inches larger than what I’ve got right now feels like total overkill.

So, what kind of budget are we looking at here? Maybe you could eventually grab an SSD and a monitor too. Honestly, prices are pretty steep right now—especially when you're hunting for a GTX 970.

Personally, I’d go ahead and sell them like I mentioned earlier—maybe grab around $110 for them? Running dual cards in CrossFire just isn't that reliable these days; honestly, it all depends on the specific game you're playing. Usually, one solid card performs better than two weaker ones anyway—plus, you have to deal with higher temperatures inside the case and more power draw. If you can swing it, I'd suggest aiming for an R9 290 or a GTX 970 instead. Your Power Supply Unit shouldn't be an issue, so you don't need to worry about that part.

I'm assuming this PC is mainly for gaming, right?

The processor, RAM, and motherboard are 👍

You might want to consider swapping out the graphics card for something beefier if you're looking to dive into next-gen titles—things like GTA V or Assassin's Creed Unity, for instance. That way, you can actually crank everything up to Amazon settings. You could probably sell your current card for about $100 and put that toward an R9 290 or a GTX 970.

Just a little update from my Friday cardio session 😁 Finally starting to see some color return to my skin 😛

Maybe try downloading a Linux Mint live image, burning it onto a blank DVD, and booting from that—once you're up and running, just see if you can grab the data from that partition.

Trust me, don't waste a single cent on that power supply—it's basically throwing money down the drain if you're planning to run three R9 290s in CrossFire. 😬 If you're really dead set on sticking to a 650W limit, just grab an EVGA Gold 650 W instead.

How much are you actually willing to shell out for a power supply?

If you see "unallocated" listed there, just right-click it and follow the prompts to confirm everything—just a heads-up though, formatting that partition will wipe whatever was on it, so you won't have anything left on that specific drive. Once you've finished formatting, it should show up properly in my Computer.

Try shutting down your computer, unplugging the cable from the optical drive, and then plugging it back in. Once you fire the PC back up, see if that actually fixed things.

Yeah, I have to agree with what my colleague mentioned 🙂 👍

I honestly feel like the differences are pretty negligible—take RAM speeds, for instance. Moving from 1333MHz to 1666MHz? You’re barely going to notice a thing.

If I were you, I’d just go with the cheaper external one—honestly, nowadays, it’s all basically the same stuff, just different packaging.

🤔 Most likely you've got an Intel dedicated GPU in your laptop paired with Intel integrated graphics? Or are we talking about a desktop setup here? Either way—even if it is a desktop—having that integrated graphics active while you're running on an Intel card is just unnecessary. If you can get into the BIOS, you might want to try disabling it.

I’d personally try to knock at least 100$50 off the price.

Oh man, this could be done way better—just hang tight, guys, and we'll get it sorted out.
