I have a fx 8350. i was wondering if the gtx 1080 will be bottlenecked
>>55142298
More on that: Literally no cpu made in last 10 years will bottleneck any gpu ever. Thats not how computers work. If your games are lagging it is not because your cpu is bottlenecking your gpu, but simply because your cpu is not good enough to run the game.
Heya op. I have an 8320 and a 970 since Christmas. I've already bottlenecked my cpu a few times. Only on intensive games like Sleeping Dogs though. I advise going intel, as much as I hate it. AMD really does just up the temps n shit for better results. (Even though they're usually not much better, if anywhere close) I'm also not looking for argument's, just helping op with personal experience.
How did I do /g?
Medium bad

you did alright

If some part of my motherboard (or the solder joints on the back) was making contact with my case, would my PC be able to function normally? Would it short? What would happen if it shorted, it just wouldn't boot?
>>55142228
depending on the point. If it is a ground there is no problem. If its some bus bus will not work probably it would just not boot. If it a power point it will probably fry something in the board.
>>55142275
It would be the far right edge
Pic related, that's what it looks like
I can't tell if anything is touching or not... It's working fine
>>55142228
Just get some fucking standoffs and wait to assemble it you faggot, your gaymes are not going anywhere, and if you can't afford the 5 bux they will cost you need to re-evaluate your life.
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 750 Ti DirectX 11 ZT-70605-10M 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP
Should I get this GPU? Can't afford anything over $100
get an RX 460 when it comes out
>>55142177
This. It's going to offer around R9 380 performance, which is quite a bit better than a 750 Ti. It'll also be an entirely slot-powered card just like the 750 Ti.
Wait about a month, new GPUs are about to come out. Even if you don't want one of those, it will cause the price to reduce of currently released GPUs. You might end up with a half price 750 To,but you also might end up with on a great deal on a better GPU for about what a 750 Ti is going for now.
Also Rx 460 might blow it out of the water at much great price to performance.
Either way just wait a little
When do I know enough about linux to install arch?
>>55142116
Where you realise that Arch is a myth
>>55142116

When you don't want to install it.

So this... is the power... of... windows... whoa
Windows updates always seem to require a restart for some reason.
>>55142834
Why is that even bad, it's not like you have to restart immediately. If you just turn off your computer at night like you should you ,don't notice any updates ever, they just werk and stay completely out of sight.
>>55142914
Depends on the update, many of them break some function forcing you to restart.
Alright so /g/ents, my old GPU recently died on me after being dropped, I'm planning to get a cheap replacement since with the hype of Polaris. It's a HD7770 for around 75$, does that sound reasonable? Planning to play some overwatch and divisions.
>>55141791
you can do better than that. i got a 7870ghz off craigslist for $75
Old shit though, you won't even be able to max settings of current games such as overwatch.
wait for the new cards before buying anything.
This comes from a hd 7950 user that also can't run ultra and still get frame drops.
>>55141791
You can wait for the RX470 and 460 both under $150.00
Is GNOME really that bad?
>>55141559

>>55141559

My Dad's iPod nano 7th Gen has died so I've bought another one (because he only like the nano) for him but I can't find a quick and easy way to transfer all the music from the old one to the new. There is no backup and restore for the nano and I no longer have all the music. Any of you guys got any suggestions before I just start to redownload all the music?!
Just remove the microSD card and pu- never mind

Upgrade to an android phone + microsd card. It's what I did.

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Class-Adapter-MB-MP64DA-AM/dp/B00IVPU7AO
All for less than $100. The phone I mentioned does not have to be activated and works like an ipod touch in airplane mode but has a bigger battery and screen.
>mfw see this
>>55141490
it's fucked, buy a new one.
>>55141505
but it works after that shit
>>55141515
Install the Nvidia drivers then.
I know its a festering POS but is it still possible to run XP? Or is it too outdated
No, it is not possible to run XP. All Windows XP operating system data has been deleted from Microsoft servers and forcibly deleted from all known Windows XP clients. Windows XP literally does not exist anymore.
>>55141449
>it still possible to run XP
of course you fucking underage faggot
it's not like the OS itself will detect itself that it is old and prevent itself from installing
>>55141449
it's not possible to run it on non-i686 architectures though
See anything wrong? I haven't built a proper computer in years. I know it's sort of modest but the only thing I see myself upgrading is the RAM capacity and my existing video card (GTX 960)
Is it worth throwing money at a Meme.2 SSD?
>>55141427
bueller?
>>55141427
You forgot the case anon.
>>55141427

Basically you can draw on the left and write using the textbox on the right.
