Is there a difference in any of the wireless adapters out there? Do some work better than others? Do I lose internet speed with the cheaper ones?

There's a strong possibility this will happen.

Yey. Start with Launchpad. Launchpad allows you to have your own APT repository. That way, any future syerjchep software can be downloaded and installed from the command line via the apt-add-repository and apt-get commands. Provided you are using Debian or Ubuntu, of course.

I just need one more thing. I need a good wireless adapter. The computer will be a whole floor above the router, so I need one. Can you recommend me one or add it to the build? The price is actually $358.26 because of current sales, so there might be room to squeeze one in.

Question: If I had the correct OS, and ran CS:GO on this computer, would I get a full 60 fps?

id love to build myself my own laptop since the one I have right now blows

I didn't even know you could build a laptop. Jesus, that would be hard considering the small amount of room given. Unless you want a bulky-ass laptop.

yes, I do know, but you won't be able to run games that good, since first of all, running 2 operating systems at once will hog up the system resources, and the windows box won't fully utilize the hardware power. you wont be able to run games at anywhere above 10 fps

I use LXDE which is the most lightweight DE available for Ubuntu. I'll get at most 15. I don't mind having a slow FPS on certain games. As long as it's better than what I have now then I'm fine.

Please stop being so stubborn, Omicron knows what he's talking about. You made this thread for a reason, he's here to provide assistance. If you ignore him you're going to realize you were wrong when it's too late.

Ok sorry :(

managed to fit in a somewhat decent video card

Woah thanks m8.

Also, I found a Windows Vista install disc. I can't remember if it was any good though. It's been a while since I use Vista. An old OS is okay for me. Some users still have XP.

EDIT: Is this video card better than the integrated graphics on the APU on the last build? I looked up the processor on CPU benchmark and it was in the higher end group. I didn't think I would be able to get a processor like that for just $72. I looked up the graphics card and it was also in the high end group.

what??

Long Term Support. The current LTS release is from 2012. New one is coming next month.

works with far from all windows games

I don't think you know what VirtualBox is.

you have a completely different CPU (intel) and integrated GPU (intel HD). this CPU (AMD) is designed to run games without a video card.
you aren't going to get a build with a seperate video card for 350. not even 400.

Alright. I'll take your word for it.

EDIT: I just got an extra $40. That means I have $221 and my dad is willing to pay about $150. So now the budget is around $371.

hard to use

You can't say it's hard to use just because it works differently and is unfamiliar. I actually prefer to preform most tasks from the terminal.

some hardware not supported

Sounds like someone installed the LTS release.

many games cannot run

There are many tools to run Windows-based software on any Linux platform, such as Wine or VirtualBox.

Please know what you're talking about before you go spouting off stuff like you do. That's an APU, it's a GPU and CPU in one, I made a ~$300 build for my younger brtoher using one, it can play most games on low-medium well. Second, stock cooling usually work perfectly unless you a. Have an awful case/ventilation or b. plan to overclock.

I thought the CPU was just a normal one. Sorry.

I still think I'll go for a different build though. I think I'd rather use a separate GPU. My current computer has integrated graphics and it doesn't work very well with most games. I don't know if that's the cause, but I've heard from friends that integrated graphics CPUs are not good for gaming.

Though I'm not OP I was looking for a build too
Thanks

There is still no GPU or cooling fan. I don't think it will run. And if it does, it won't last very long without cooling.

Get Infinity I on it. Use books until you get one with that.
