Windows 10 and the dreaded WINSXS issue?

I have win 7 64bit installed and the installation is a little over 1 years old now. I used a 60GB partition on C: for this install, and over a year later I am limping around with less then 9GB free. Winsxs is still over 27GB in size as we speak even though I have used and tried all the common...

How long do I have?

This build would seem to last a while still. That being said, its also relative to what kind of games you play and on what resolution / settings you can tolerate as acceptable. Everyone has a different opinion on this.

Rebuilding PC Gaming rig (old E8500 C2D)

I guess I dont understand how wattages work. I mean i have a 600w psu but this 650w psu is better? I take it that a 600w psu from 7 yrs ago isnt the same as one from today? The price seems fine, anything under80 bucks is great. I just wont be able to get the SSD then, but that can wait till...

Rebuilding PC Gaming rig (old E8500 C2D)

This sounds great. I will definitely add an SSD into the budget then. I'm thinking I can add it as my OS drive and maybe then install a few of the most demanding games I play on it as well to help speed things up. One concern I have about the limited space of the SSD drive tho, as I am still...
