    Question Considering upgrading from a 3770K to a socket 2011-v3 system

    Thanks, yeah, I think so too. I'm probably going to go for it.

    Question Considering upgrading from a 3770K to a socket 2011-v3 system

    For my main workstation, I'd be more interested in a higher clocked 6 core since nothing I do is that multi-threaded. I'd possibly consider a 14-core chip if I was going to use this as my emby/plex server, but lately as usage has gone up, more and more people are getting devices that can...

    Question Considering upgrading from a 3770K to a socket 2011-v3 system

    Generally server level stuff is super cheap on ebay, because there is a big supply and a small market. Im not sure if 'server' scares people off or the compatibility issues (sockets, ECC vs standard RAM, etc) but it seems that nobody buys the stuff. I remember getting 32GB of DDR2 or DDR3 ECC...

    Question Considering upgrading from a 3770K to a socket 2011-v3 system

    So my main rig is an I7 3770K with 16GB of DDR3 on a Z77 board. I actually found it at the electronics recycling dropoff 6 years ago and its been working great ever since. I don't remember if its overclocked anymore - it was, then I turned it down when I was having cooling issues, and I don't...

    Question What to do with old parts

    I refurb a lot of old systems. If its anything decent for gaming, I will usually put an ad up on FB/craigslist and set the price exceptionally cheap, then wait for the buyer to be a kid looking to play games. Listing it really cheap I often get a lot of people that just want to resell it...

    Its been 6 months since you started this. Did she get her internet worked out?

    The [s]rent[/s] GPU prices are too damn high!

    I've been fortunate that I've been able to avoid or delay most of my GPU purchases with these high prices, and snag one every once in awhile when they're cheap. I recently needed to find a GPU for someone to play iracing, which doesn't require much compared to AAA games of today. Fortunately...

    Upgrade GA-970A-D3P and FX 6300 3.50GHz C6 AM3+

    I have a pile of Dell Optiplexes that are I7-4770s that I am having a tough time selling on Craigslist for $150 because nobody wants desktops. So I would say for $200, you can find some amazing deals on OEM hardware. If you want a more retail and less locked down experience, I'd say Socket...

    Question Using OEM Dell/HP parts?

    I modify a lot of Dell/HP/OEM systems, but thats because I pick them up for free from the electronics recycling dropoff. Yes, you can do some core2-->xeon mods in OEM systems. That said, most of the OEM systems I build have the case/PSU/motherboard married to each other - I don't swap...

    The cheap SSDs thread

    It wouldn't, but I don't see any place you can get a 1TB evo for $60.

    The cheap SSDs thread

    I just picked up two 240GB Kingston A400 drives for $30 each from Amazon. Couldn't say no. Now I have to figure out the best way to set these things up in RAID.

    Question How to "properly" run games from an SSD

    Yeah. His problem is that his 1 (or 2, I don't remember) TB OS drive is too full of stuff to do a drive copy to a 240GB SSD. Also, as I mentioned in the other post, he's just really nervous about messing with stuff. Adding the SSD drive as an internal drive was out of his comfort zone, but he...

    Question How to "properly" run games from an SSD

    He's been instructed on Macrium. He has a dozen ways he can do it, he's just afraid to take the leap. Keep in mind the guy is in his 80s, and got started with computers as they were emerging in the 1970s and 1980s. Too many 'this should work' followed by 'whoops, C:\ drive is gone, you just...

    Question How to "properly" run games from an SSD

    My grandfather wanted to upgrade to an SSD in his machine, then installed it as a secondary drive and uses it as a temp location for photoshop. He insists its faster that way. The reality is he got scared of re-installing the OS, because his OS drive is a file organization nightmare. He's...

    Question Fortnite minimum requirements? G4560, 8GB DDR4, and R7 260X 2GB GDDR5 not cutting it? Gaming on Wifi? How many people do that?

    Somewhat off topic, but like you I help out a lot of people by building PCs for people that 'can't afford them'. The people that don't have their life together usually just sell them immediately to get drug money. I learned that lesson real fast and now don't help out anyone that doesn't have...
