    And that's why I kill the programs after I'm done with it.

    The notification area... Don't you hate it when programs hide from you?

    Hella no. That I7 is a few generations old (still fine though), that GPU can't handle more than 720P lowest settings in BeamNG.drive, and it's an HP. You got ripped off, try building your own next time.

    Well... It's a HP... In all my years working with computers they've not been the most reliable machines...

    CPU is fine, GPU is crap.

    Also, 1tb HDD with 16GB SSD Cache, Ewww...

    They say it has a 600w PSU, sou you can probably upgrade the GPU and add in an SSD and have a fairly nice system assuming the rest of the components can deal with it.

    upgrade your GPU if you ever have the money, that i7 is just way held back by the horrible GT 640... @zestyfolfdude

    Don't know if I should be waiting for the Vega 56, or just get a 1070. I've always bought AMD gpu. It seems wrong for me to get a GTX.

    meh i was going to get Vega but its not really good enough, im going to wait for Navi, i will not go near another nvidia gpu anymore really, their drivers can be shit tbh, like my sister's 940MX laptop had to have a fresh install of windows because of a dodgy driver update they released

    Im too going to go for a vega 64 because of the nvidia drivers my 750ti consystetly got slower with every driver update so im changing side. Also whenever i turn off my pc it stays in power saving mode and runs all night wich i dont want because it uses way to much power is it a problem with windows or am i just acting stupid?

    by turn off do you mean sleep mode? you might have a wake lock, run the powercfg command in an administrative command prompt and find out, normally its dodgy audio drivers or something, actually "Folding At Home" was the one that i found to cause issues actually, end all the processes to that and try if you have it installed

    Good old 'shutdown /s /f /t 00' is a way to shutdown your PC. If you normally don't use the Standby or Sleep feature, you could disable it in the power options somewhere... (actually, looking around, it looks to be impossible)
