I need some more storage on my computer. What should I get if I plan on mostly installing games and programs, an HDD or an SSHD? SSDs are out of the question.

>How to assemble a PC, select components & more (kind of outdated)
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php?title=Build_a_PC

If you want help:
>State the budget for your build (and country if not the USA).
>List games/software you use often, as well as your monitor resolution + refresh rate.
>Clarify your goal for build improvements: lower price or improved specs?

CPUs:
>G4560 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R5 1400 - if you can't afford better or specifically need 8 threads but not a very powerful CPU
>R5 1500x - All you really need for 60fps with power to spare; Don’t get an i5.
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; Get a 1600x if you don't OC

>R7/Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/mixed use; Not required for just gaming.

GPUs:
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>RX 560 and GTX 1050Ti - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games
>RX570 - 1080p@60hz at high, running most maxed older games at 144+hz.
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@60hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; Go for the RX580 if you can.
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@144hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p.
>GTX 1080 Ti - 1440p@144 hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games; You're kind of going overboard with this one.
>AMD GPUs are suffering a lack of stock and Nvidia a rise in price thanks to e-currency miners

RAM
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM

General:
>ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
>Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
>NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor.
>The Ryzen lineup comes with exceptionally good stock coolers. (with the exception of the 1600X) consider using them over any sub 35USD cooler.

We Chrome now. But worse, context menu does not even expand, instead it "slides" to a new window/view. To get back click the upper left arrow. Just like on your smartpone :^)

Just finished my first year of CompSci with good grades. I'm 26 so it's getting late for me to choose a career so I've decided I want to be a Data Analyst (I particularly enjoyed the data mining/analysis coursework we did in a SoftEng module).

How do I go about preparing for a career in Data Analysis?

Hey guys what do you recommend?

Windows 8.1 Embedded Industry Pro or Windows 10 LTSB?

With Windows 8 you get access to the windows store, but I can't really see myself using that.

Windows 10 lacks the store but does have directx 12 in case I ever upgrade to a newer machine and decide to play recent vidya gaems.

Can't really decide.

I don't even really use Windows that much anyway, but keep it around for just in case kind of thing. And the occasional game.

Should I just stick with Windows 7?

What's the best mITX case that has great airflow with room for a full size gpu? I have a non-blower style card that I want to use a SFF pc for but I don't want it cooking in it's own heat, especially since it's at 60C idle.

Is it possible to own a good Android phone that can be supported with Android builds for a long period of time, or am I expected to pay $500 for a new phone every year? How the fuck is it that only Apple gets it right?
