Word is out that British prisoners have been sentenced to death.

There was absolutely nothing left on it, but I managed to get it back up and running...
thanks 🙂

I truly appreciate it! 😉

I have successfully installed Windows 10 onto an SSD, and the system appears to be functioning correctly. However, I am encountering a specific issue where my secondary IBM drive is not being recognized within Windows, despite the fact that it shows up perfectly fine in the BIOS. How does one resolve this so the drive becomes visible in the OS?

That sounds reasonable. Thank you. 👍

For instance, a high-quality build centered around:

1x Intel Core i3-8350K (8MB Cache, 4.00GHz)
1x AMD Radeon RX 580 4GB GDDR5, 256-bit

Avoid those outdated i5 series processors; they simply aren't worth the investment anymore.

Right, I'd be looking at spending about 6 $167. That means the processor you mentioned should be sufficient, but regarding the GPU, does having 6 GB of VRAM actually matter, or is it negligible? What about the rest of the components? Is a 550W power supply enough?

No, definitely not looking for any competitive gaming setup. Besides, I'm still stuck using some ancient relic of a monitor, so I’m leaning toward just grabbing a GTX 1060... there isn't much of a $500 difference
to me.

What is your assessment of this setup:

CPU: Intel Core i5-7400
RAM: 1 x 8GB DDR4 2133MHz (expandable up to 32GB)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 OC 6GB GDDR5
SSD: 240GB
HDD:
ODD:
Network: 1x Gigabit LAN
Case: Midi tower
PSU: 550 W
Rear Ports: 2x PS2, 2x USB 3.0, 4x USB 2.0, HDMI, DVI-D, 3x DP, 1x RJ-45, HD Audio out
Front Ports: 1x USB 2.0, 1x USB 3.0, Headphone jack, Mic jack

This is a configuration from a local shop, though it doesn't list the motherboard. The price tag is $2133

Is there any actual value in opting for a GTX 1060 6 GB over a GTX 1070 8 GB? The price gap sits at roughly $333
.

From where I'm sitting, it looks perfectly fine to me.
