alright, I checked online and looks like I am having RAM issues. However I decided that instead of keeping th PC and fixing it I am just going to upgrade it.So this is a my case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811105113

I don't wan to spend $200+ on new computer so I am just going to buy a new Mobo, RAM, and CPU. I am going to keep the case, fans, heatsink and power supply. I will put in a new GPU later but not right now.

Wondering if these components are compatible and will work. I heard that a mATX mobo will fit in a ATX case like I have.

CPU:http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IOMFFUG...UTF8&colid=6VVUWEUGZYQ7&coliid=I1A8LH03GC9V74

RAM:http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006WAGG14...olid=6VVUWEUGZYQ7&coliid=I3I9FEVDX0ROWY&psc=1

Mobo:http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JB404GG...=UTF8&colid=6VVUWEUGZYQ7&coliid=I7Q6JU0LY2A81

Edit: I think i'll buy this case: http://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Micr...&ie=UTF8&qid=1410153110&sr=1-23&keywords=Case

Is it good enough or should I buy it with the 450W PSU? I won't be gaming much and I'll probably install a low end GPU. Is the PSU in the other case compatible?

Does it work or what can I add? Keep in mind that I have a $150 budget and only buy from Amazon.

It depends on if the flight is domestic or international. Flights to international destinations have much stricter regulations. A mini itx form of PC could be stopped. They are more suspicious or large electronic devices like that. Also there is a regulation restricting items based on the power draw of the item if I'm not mistaken. Something like exceeding 100W or something. A gaming system for example with a 600W+ power supply would fall into that category.

Something to consider.

Don't forget liquids. I've seen the TSA freak out over nasal sprays, nail polish and eye drops.

One of them went on about the liquid in the throwaway case of my spare contact lenses for over an hour once. It's factory sealed and without it, the lenses turn to silicon glass in minutes. But nooo, the idiot thought it was an explosive substance and I had to throw it away. Do Americans not have contact lenses? Or does the TSA only employ idiots?

It's not as if you can get these in a shop, they require a prescription from an optician and 4 weeks delivery time... Good thing I had more in my suitcase. A month without them&no glasses on -5 = lots of bruises! Bloody 60 quid in the bins... (These things are nót cheap! 360 euro for 6 months!)

(and flour, but that's what you get for being Dutch.)

And Lithium-ion batteries. They're on the no-fly list these days. They claim for safety reasons but we all know it's another measure to prevent black import of devices. You can bring them, but they have to be fully charged. (and bought phones are always 30% charged).

Also depends on where you're going. If you're travelling to the US, they'll probably think it's a bomb. (which idiot puts a bomb in a 800 quid pc?)

If you're travelling to belgium, netherlands, germany or austria, you'll have less problems. France and the UK are a bit more careful. China really depends om their mood, Japan doesn't really care. Australia is more concerned about bugs than electronics, but they'll probably want you to open it for a drugcheck.

You may need to disassemble it for some flights.

Also, if you list it as work-related items, they may be a bit less strict. (For example, if you're a programmer, developer, etc.) That works for cameras and other equipment, too.
[Off-topic] shorinryu:
You are working with a very tight budget to essentially build a new system. I have a couple questions for you.

What games would you play if any? You don't have to play much but something like the latest COD or Grid Autosport or such won't be very playable on the parts you have chosen. I'm asking for perspective to avoid giving you the wrong advice.

On my phone the link for your current case just takes me to the Newegg homepage. Aside from that the Rosewill case is a decent looking case.

When it comes to AMD I would avoid a Sempron chip. Much like I would avoid most Intel Celeron chips. Consider an AMD Athlon instead. Especially since AMD make up for being less capable chips by spiking the processor speed. So you definitely need a chip faster than what you've given. Unless you stick Windows XP or something on it.

Motherboard looks fine and the ram is up to you. 4 GB is plenty for a basic system. Most people don't even need that. Just gives some extra wiggle room.

Assuming all other components are salvageable from your current system like hard drives, fans, dvd drive and power supply is around 400W then you should be OK.

I will be playing old games like SimCity 3000 and other modern ones like Minecraft and Grid or NFSU. Honestly, I think the CPU will handle the games pretty well. My Pentium ULV [MENTION=4149147]1.8[/MENTION]GHz handles those games at a pretty stable FPS and it has onboard HD Graphics 3000. I will run W8.1 or at least Elementary OS. The only problem I see is that some of the components in the old build are IDE and the mobo uses SATA however all I will be needing is the HDD and not the CD/DVD Drive. Could I possibly use the USB 3.0 adapter for HDD so I don't have to deal with the SATA/IDE problem? I was thinking an Athlon but they exceed $50 and I wanted a APU since I won't put a GPU yet. I heard that Sempron I gave has a Radeon HD5450 or similar equivalent but I honestly don't know how good that is (I never have used AMD) but reviews say the Sempron is a very good CPU for the price.

[Off-topic] shorinryu:
Yes IDE can be an issue depending on the component but the option to boot of the hard drive when converted to USB 3.0 is possible. It won't necessarily be as fast as a SATA 3 connection but still better than IDE.

For the processor a graphics equivalent of a Radeon HD 5450 is very poor by today's standards. those cards were DirectX 9 compatible so that shows how relatively insignificant the performance is. If you want a reasonable APU then I would recommend one of the A series dual core systems like the A6-5400K if you can fit $54 into your budget for the CPU. Also in most cases a dual core CPU is enough for gaming since the games you are talking about are probably not even optimized for quad core or higher systems and the graphics is more important overall. I find this a good balance.

For the AM1 socket you considered though there is an AMD Athlon 5150 APU for around $52.

Good luck with whatever you decide and I hope the build goes well for you :good:

Will Win 8 boot from USB? I tried that once with XP, it would just blue screen.
[Off-topic] shorinryu:
I have never had to try it. I know that my BIOS allows me to select a USB hard drive as my primary boot up disk but I don't know if having Windows installed on that drive will allow it act as the primary partition or not. In most cases USB is used as a boot up drive to install software or carry out firmware updates. Some research or trial and error would be needed to test out the idea.
[Off-topic] 404-Not Found:
Yes it does. With WinBuilder its possible if you have Windows 8.1 but if you have Pro Edition you can use a On The Go feature that lets you use Windows in bootable USB Drive. However Windows 7 does not work in a USB 3.0 port, only W8.

What is a good GPU under $60 USD? It must be a PCI 2.0 card. Tye mobo I am going to buy supports PCI x16 however the APU only uses x4, is there a difference and will x16 card work even though it only supports x4?

Edit: Not really looking for a serious gaming GPU, one that can handle games like NFS or Minecraft at 40+FPS in medium-high settings. The Athlon 5350 has Radeon R3 but also says it has Radeon HD8400 and since I am not good with AMD products I am not sure if that is good enough or if I can get a GPU thats at least 2x better than that for $60.

Depends on what prices you will find.

The difference between pci x16 and pci x4 is that you will have a tiny fps drop if you put one gpu in the pci x4. (Not sure though) usually the pci x4 is used for sli/crossfire.

Hi everyone,

I've got a question that requires some feedback. I have this current PC system:

CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K

COOLER: Corsair H100i

MOBO: Asus P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3

RAM: 4x2GB Kingston Hyper-X 1866MHz DDR3

GPU: Asus Radeon R9 290 4GB DirectCu II OC

Primary HD: Samsung 840 120GB SSD

Secondary HD: Western Digital Blue 1TB

PSU: Corsair CX750M

I need help deciding on what to use as my monitor/TV. I am temporarily using an old 16" Lcd monitor and cannot decide on what the best screen to get is. I want it to serve a dual purpose of not just PC monitor but entertainment display as well. I intend to connect my PS3, laptop from time to time and any other devices if the need arises.

I have a reasonably sized bedroom which I can set up a 40" HDTV but then I sacrifice all the pixel power of my gaming rig. I'd rather not get a regular 24" monitor and a TV separately as I don't want to keep my desk in my room anymore. I've graduated, looking for work and don't plan to study in my room anymore. The house has a study for that.

I am currently contemplating the LG Ultra wide-screen 34" monitor, 34UM95 but the price for that display is a bit steep. I could compromise for a smaller 32" monitor but I wanted get some outside opinions. I'd like my budget to remain around CAD $600 if possible. Sadly I don't have the money to invest in a second graphics card for crossfire and then buy a 40" UHD TV for another $1200.

Thanks for your help in advance.
[Off-topic] boborone:
No problem at all using a TV as a monitor. I've done it for years. And buying a "monitor" only doubles the price of a TV. If you're hooking your PC and PS3 to it than you don't need a smart TV. I'd suggest looking at some Vizio TVs. They are cheap because they're no frills, most aren't smart, and you could find a big one with a high refresh rate for relatively cheap.

I got one of these for $520, full HD, 120 Hertz, 50" LED, and it's still a smart TV.

Also by then of the year, vizio is set to release a 4k set of TVs starting at 50" for under $1k. They've come a long way from the KIA of TVs to a contender for market share because of their price points.

I've been using 2 Samsung TV's for a dual monitor setup. They're only 22", so 1080p looks fine on them. I'm not sure about other brands, but with Samsung, I had to set the source to DVI/PC for color accuracy.
[Off-topic] shorinryu:
I never considered a Smart TV because I know I don't need it for what I am doing. Also a 50" screen is too big for the space I have, 40" really is the limit. I appreciate the prices are going down on TVs especially with the newer UHD screens coming out.

I guess what I want to know is whether it is better to use a monitor for a higher resolution around 1440p or stick with 1080p and get a TV. My GPU has no VGA output. All of them are digital, either HDMI, DVI-D and Displayport. That is another consideration as not all TVs will use the signal properly. I hooked a 37" LG TV to test it out and it would shrink the desktop even though it was connected through HDMI and outputting 1080p. I had to lower the resolution to maximise the screen use which increased the pixelation further. I am sitting around 6-7 feet from the screen so it was clearly discernible.

[Off-topic] boborone:
I always run my FHD TVs at 1600*900 when running off a computer. It puts a small box around the bezel, maybe 10 pixels, but running that resolution makes things fit better on the screen IMO. I haven't used an actual monitor with a resolution under that in years, so I'm used to the scaling of 16*9. You get a little pixel shift with text and mouse pointer, but as long as you're not playing games or doing photo editing that require exact pixel points you'll be fine.

If you don't plan to ever over clock the cards much then you've saved yourself some time. However I've found that reference cards don't always have the best heatsinks and fans on.

Yeah Windows 9 looks promising. When Windows Phone first came out, I thought the potential ability to run .exe (or full desktop apps) on phones would be killer, but it hasn't happened yet.

Regardless, looks like they ironed out a lot of the annoying features of Windows 8 in the 9 screenshots.
[Off-topic] shorinryu:
Yes it was poorly executed. This is the one factor I give Apple credit for because they built a mobile OS from scratch as opposed to trying to modify an existing desktop OS. However there was always a lot of potential for Windows Mobile and it does run great on lower spec devices. Just I don't think they need to completely integrate tablets, laptops and desktops onto one platform. Looking forward to see what Windows 9 holds.

To be fair, Apple is starting to merge / blur the boundary between OS X and iOS. But I agree, they did a fresh mobile OS and then started to converge the two platforms. Whereas, Windows seemed to try to port one onto the other.
