The new i3 makes very little sense at its current price really, the i5 7400 is a much more logical buy, even if it lacks overclocking its still well capable at playing games.
I'm not really planning to OC. The board I'm buying (MSI H110M Gaming Micro ATX LGA1151) doesn't support OC so I'm not concerned really. I added the i5-7500 to my build and it comes to $802.96. I'll pay the extra $10 for the 10% performance gain over the 7400.
The kaby lake Pentiums are hyperthreaded, remember? --- Post updated --- This is exactly the I36100 for 20 bucks less: https://ark.intel.com/m/products/97460/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G4620-3M-Cache-3_70-GHz#@product
Anyone have experience with any UK web hosting companies? Currently trying to figure out where to host my personal web site (portfolio site). So I i don't need anything fancy. I already have a domain (although I don't mind having a second) so it's really just very basic hosting I am looking for, don't need any databases etc, traffic will be naff all too.
Might be worth asking @Rage as I think his website is hosted in the U.K. If I recall correctly pentiums have a slightly shallower core.
His website is awesome. However it would seem he is hosted by digital ocean, which is a little expensive for what I am looking for at around £4 a month. Planet Hippo seem interesting at £1.20 a month (inc vat), since 1gb of space should be absolutely plenty and I don't need SSL or any other fancy features. I don't even need backups to be honest, since the website will be static and I will have a local copy. Edit: Just been on live chat with them, supposedly 100 megabit per second which sounds pretty reasonable, also no setup fee's and the price doesn't go up after the first year which is nice. Didn't ask if they throttle high traffic websites, however I doubt I will get any more than 10 views on a busy month anyway xD So once I have finished building a site they might be a decent no thrills option.
I just got the second phone call from my mobile service provider this morning. The first call hung up immediately, the second one was a humanized robot voice that said "goodbye" and then hung up. I think this may be the end for me, the robots are uprising.
Well just reinstalled windows 10, now come back the memories of all the bullshit hacks and regestry edits I had to do last time to get even basic functionality. This for example... What an awful awful operating system.
I 'reset' Windows 10 on my laptop, and noticed the same thing when doing that. Or that you cannot choose a program on your own, if it isn't listed. Awful seems an exaggeration, it still does its job somewhat decently, but the little things are indeed infuriating.
Huh, the only problems I've ever had with W10 was when I upgraded on my laptop when it first came out and iCloud broke everything, and when it wasn't detecting an optical drive correctly. Other than that, my experience has been fine.
I never had a Good experience with win10 because i had to reinstall it a couple of Times because it kept bricking
Yeah true, but a lot of this stuff just seems like its there to slow down the installation process, as well as stuff like onedrive that needs forcefully removed if you dont want it. Same goes with the 10 odd bloat ware games and applications that come with the OS out of the box which is just more crap to delete. I wouldn't have such a problem with it if it I didn't need to reinstall it 5 times since it came out. Its never worked for me since the first launch, seems like something that is just flat out broken as you can get around it through the control panel. Its an incredibly common issue when I searched it.
Hi. I haven't been around the forums for a while, so I thought I might as well get people's thoughts on this parts list I've been adding to and improving over the last few months: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sZ6ZGf It's essentially a super low-end build for people like me... The sort of build you save up for by working at the local coffee shop over the holidays. I tried to keep it very damn cheap without using any unreliable or bad products. 630 AUD, about 400 USD. It should be able to run FH3 fine, as benchmarks suggest, and BeamNG.Drive fairly well apart from on scenarios with many cars (the main problem I have with it on the shite machine of doom (aka the family computer) is not enough RAM) Anyway. There. Eh. Tear me apart if you want. I don't care.
