yeah

or free if you use KMS pico

eh

stock cooler should do the trick for me

get a better power supply, go for the one I picked out

not doing highly cpu intensive tasks

the stock cooler is alright

i mean my build only takes 223 watts

I'm talking about the GPU cooler

right but you're probably gonna want to keep that PSU in the future

ye

so get a 500W at least, then it'll have bronze rating

kk

im not going to be able to build the desktop for a while

since its online i have to beg my mum and dad

dont have a job yet bud

@GirlBeGood I'll help you for free and give the best advice

and I'll actually give you parts on paper for reference rather than vaguely tell you what you're looking for

hmu tomorrow @7pm EST and I should be ale to help you with it then, knock everything out on the list.

Don't worry, I'm versatile depending on use case, I don't have this absurd egotistical bias to get the best hardware for no reason (unless it's an absolute benefit for your needs)

ok

sounds good Thank you

and hmu in DM's when you do, it's more organized than this open chat

Im going to get the parts around May

Would you be willing to help me in voice channel or

actually I can just look up tutorials

Nice way of saying "haha this guy doesn't know what he's talking about"

I can help you in voice channel, but overall tutorials aren't completely educated up to date as an individual like myself, and aren't appropriating to specific need/desire. If that is what you wanna do though, go for it. Otherwise, my offer is available.

I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about

I already showed him a parts list

What's his budget?

one that I truly believe will get him what he needs on a budget

800, he said

Show me the list

not including the OS ofc, but an ebay key will keep it at like 20 over what he had and it'll have two more cores, in case his workload ever changes

That's a decent build, only problem is the small form factor loses versatility, the m-atx mobo doesn't even allow for a second pcie x16 slot, and if he ever DID go beyond his current use, he may run into expandability/compatibility issues.

going full ATX is cost prohibitive

that's a big IF

CPU and architecture are good, motherboard is cheaped out on a but but sufficient, RAM would be more practical as 2x4gb dual channel. get a seagate barracuda>west digi blue

that last one may be bias
