PC Upgrade Ideas? in Desktops ·
Hey! I’ve got a Dell OptiPlex sitting here. I'm looking to play a few games here and there, maybe something like Euro Truck Simulator 2. I know this machine wasn't built for gaming, but right now, if I want to jump into Euro Truck Simulator 2, Mafia II, MotoGP, or F1, this is really all I have to work with. Here are the specs:

Pentium Dual Core 2.7
2GB DDR3
Some integrated graphics, looks like an x4500

That's about it. Would I actually notice a difference if I tossed in another 2GB of RAM and added an NVIDIA GeForce 210 1GB DDR3 low profile card?

Joseph Barrett said:Regarding what you listed, $750 I’d say +/- 5% is a pretty realistic price range.

There's no way those components are actually worth that little, right?

Scar care tips? in Health ·
So, I had surgery over 20 days ago. It was a bone graft from my hip down to my leg. My primary care physician cleared out all the necrotic tissue from the hip area, and they just removed the stitches on my leg during a checkup. But here’s the thing: I noticed one stitch at the hip site is starting to poke out quite a bit. I'm a little confused because this thread is blue, but the stitches I had on my hip were white. Could these be internal sutures working their way out, or is this something else that needs to be pulled?

Also, the thread is sticking out about 1 or 2 mm.

What kind of gaming GPU are we talking about?

What kind of card are we even talking about given where GPUs stand today?

How much longer do you think it could actually run games before everything just hits a wall and nothing runs on anything higher than low settings?

How's this MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 performing with an overclock? Is it actually any good, and where does it sit compared to an HD series card or something else entirely?

It’s all about the case design. I’ll see if I can pull it off without taking anything apart, but honestly? I doubt it.

So, I just noticed the top of my case is running pretty hot. I’m thinking about cutting out some space for fans—maybe two 120mm ones, or possibly three. What’s the best tool for the job? Could I get away with using a grinder to cut the opening? For the mesh, I was planning on hitting up Home Depot to grab a pre-made metal grill, spray it black, and then mount the fans onto it. Any thoughts?

Corsair is the real deal—pure quality and actual power, not some cheap junk meant for a $50. Would I really be an idiot if I paid $400 +/-
for my own 450w unit?

Where does an overclocked MSI GTX 1060 actually sit in today's GPU rankings?
Some people are saying it's more like an Nvidia GeForce GT 730?

Well, I’ve got the space, so it should fit, right?

Is 17 really long enough? What do you guys think—will it work?

I've got exactly 6.7 inches of clearance. Will an XFX Radeon 7750 fit?

Looks like the card doesn't take up more than one slot, so it should fit just fine.

Do you think it might come with two adapters included?

I mean, isn't it a dual slot?

Thinking about picking up an HD6670 low profile. Would that actually fit in this case?
