What computer do you have?

[Asokaa]

Hi,

I need some advices and informations.

I am planning on buying a computer. Mine is old. It is 10 years old and when I bought it it was used in a library.

So I am planning to build a computer for 350€

ET is the only online game I play. I also play with Zsnes emulator.

My FPS barely reach 100.

It's ram has a poor frequency. It's PCI express seems broken and I can't use the cheap graphic card I got on the Net.

So I want to buy a computer with 4 giga of DDR4(2600hz).

But I don't know:
- wich motherboard to chose. 
- which processor(i3, i5, or amd ryzen?)

 

And what computer do you use by the way ?

If you're going to build, you don't have to go all out like I did, but the things you listed are outdated already. 4Gb is nothing anymore. Why get i3 or i5 when i7 is the most current?

@HipKat With 350 Euro you can't even buy an i7.

 

@Asokaa What u want to buy for 350 Euro? Processor, memory, motherboard, GPU, Power supply and case??

processor + memory + case

[Anton Chigurh]

Ok in that case i think for 350 euro you can bye an Intel i5 7600 (200 Euro's) , premium 8 Gb DDR4 memory (90 Euro's) and a nice case.

I think that you should go for the Intel i5 and not the Amd Ryzen because more core's (amd's) doesn't necessarily mean more speed.

Then im pretty sure your motherboard is outdated as well as i dont think it supports DDR4. so there's another 60-70 bucks thrown into getting that.

And you're right.

So I will have to buy another motherboard. 
And get some ddr3 or ddr4 with a frequency of 2400mghz

DDR4 2400, anything higher is problably overclocked or to expensive.

Imo with these demands and that budget, it's gonna be hard to work it out, why not just save a bit more and buy it later when u can spend for some quality components instead of buying semi decent stuffs now and making a new upgrade in couple of years again. If i learned one thing was, never rush upgrading pc without a proper budget or u will just end up already with outdated hardware and be soon unhappy with it. I would actually recommend u to buy at least 16GB of RAM, as everything is just more demandable nowadays. Make a research over Tomshardware, great site where they publish every new release from every PC component and u can even ask for advice there if u are on a budget as well as what your needs are.

Make topic here if u want and tell them your budget and your needs, otherwise just use google to get up to date with what components are worth buying if u re on budget.

here is my info

I got this laptop from MSI with a Black Friday Deal for about $550

Intel Core i5 7300HQ @ 2.50 Ghz

Micro-Star MS 16J9 

8 gigabyte of DDR4 RAM

GeForce 1050 GTX      -     

 

I would have preferred to have built my own PC but I needed something more mobile for work and travel. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. The only intensive things I regularly use my laptop for are Wolfenstein and FL Studio but I have also been able to play with very high settings on Skyrim, Fallout:NV, and Civ 5.

 

If MSI comes back with another great Black Friday deal, it might be worth checking out.

seems like i am the only one with a shitty computer

[Gengis]

What you mean with shitty.

It depends want to do.

I am playing ET with a 7 year old laptop.

And it works quite fine for what i have to do.

I do not plan to change beforer many months.
