torrents are also free of charge :D
Also lol at you guys saying not to use XP just because their support will expire in less then 30days! have been using xp which hasnt been updated for last 4years and it's fine! In fact I disable those stupid updates on all my PC's whatever OS it's running...
Trying to build a poverty pc from some spare parts lying around and some cheap stuff from ebay.
specs would be:
2gb ddr3 1333 ram
celeron g530
5850 videocard
160gb hdd
Looking for the best performance what I could possibly get from this poverty pc, should I go with windows xp or win7...
but why?
I built a system with almost identical power today, and everything flys on it!
All the games are playable on it on highest settings.
Re-install your windows for a boost in speed?
its still only 120gb for something around 60quid,
I remember buying my 40gb ,2years ago for 60 as well.
and 120gb is still quite small, Think in a year you will be able to pickup 240gb for around 50?
had poverty celeron g530 for a looong time paired with 6970 , it ran almost any game on medium-high settings but it still had a small lag in everything you do.
£75 later and got i5 3350p with a fresh install of windows, hot damn How everything flys, no lag at all, tested some games on...
For ages I thought my powersupply is going bad, getting really load and restarting itself from time to time, or when tapped harder on a desk the computer would shutdown&restart itself. Borrowed from someone psu to check and for that moment seemed that it fixed it,after putting in back the old...
thanks! will stay away from it, all I have ever bought from kingston before were 2 flash drives- both were utter shit, seems like their other products arent better.
thanks for link,saw it also but their shipping costs kills that price.
wondering about the same 120gb vs 240gb also, but kinda don't want to drop 100 on a harddrive since Spent only 200 total building that system.
was checking these out as well, but after few reviews all they are good for are for booting up windows and loading some common used files, Just plain regular hdd other then that.
Trying to upgrade my whole system and thinking about switching from HDD to SSD, but was wondering would I get any real noticable difference which should be worth spending money on?
currently have this system:
6970 radeon videocard
i5 3350p
some 7200rpm regular poverty 250gb hdd
4gb ram
I had...
Also Is it really worth to Upgrade from HDD to SSD?
Now after upgrading cpu will have:
6970 radeon videocard
i5 3350p
some 7200rpm regular 250gb hdd
4gb ram
I had once ssd before 3years. but the speeds were like 170mb/s read and only 35mb/s write , it kinda did increase speed by very small...
Alright guys thanks for suggestions, that poverty i3 would really be usable maybe only for next 2years and then only so-so
Bought a brand new i5 3350p for £78 on ebay, pretty decent deal I think.
Locked. Wrong Forum and Duplicate Thread.

I can play most of the games with it on high but it lags a bit at some higher-end games and for everyday tasks it sometimes gets just a bit too slow.
Looking at this...

also seems like it stops this whizzing electric sound as soon as I use more power in system, it wizzes like crazy when its on idle or very very very light load but is absolutely quiet when under a bit more load -can anyone confirm this is this so called Coil whine and that actually its nothing...
hahah interwebs?
Not sure now at someplaces its said that coilwhine is nothing dangerous,however some are saying that its sound of death? thats why im asking?
No the seller advertised as in perfect working order :rolleyes:
have read that after it starts to happen the psu's just die very soon after? :whiste:
also just noticed that the warranty sticked has been broken so the previous owner has already tried to open it up lol
Bought from someone on ebay a great brand USED 1000w PSU,told me its in perfect condition however after installing it today.
It gives out weird squeeky electric noises when under Load ,after some searching seems like the coils/condensators are doing it.
Is this PSU basicly near death? will try...
want to build a small bitcoin/litecoin mining rig and would need a new motherboard where I can put in 3X 5850 videocards without using raiser cables as I honestly don't want computer parts lying arround on my desk.
Last time I built something pc related was 3-4years ago so not sure what's out...
