Computer Upgrade

Yeah, I was planning on doing that, once I get a couple more paychecks. And I decided I didn't want to build one myself, because I was very worried about breaking an expensive part... but my next PC will probably be self built. Anyway you look at it though, this computer is an upgrade from my 4 year old HP Pavilion laptop. I also appreciate the suggestions for my new desktop.

 

You can get Windows 10 free by downloading the technical preview and stay in the build 10240 that is the "normal" windows 10.

Give you a favor and buy these once you get the PC.

Put them on the mosfets of your motherboard.

 

Unless you're OCing a lot, you won't need MOSFET heatsinks on a low-end board. And if you really want to OC then you should get a better board anyway.

 

Hey man, that might be a 3+1 motherboard for a FX 6300, I wouldnt really say that you wont need them, he could have throttling issues, even at stock speed.

Anyway, he can undervolt it a bit, those FX comes with more voltage than needed for their stock clocks, that doesnt cost anything and helps your VRMs.

 

I finally did a major upgrade to my system. Here some shots of it. I've been tweaking and making some adjustments and so far I'm really impressed. BeamNG.drive plays so smooth and I'm getting on average 60 FPS!, in comparison to my old system that after the last updates was really lagging and begging to be upgraded. The only problem so far the force feedback is kind of weak in my G27 Racing Wheel and the steering quite loose. I'm still making adjustments though.
