So much for backup.
I should transfer some GB to Games and System.
But last time I did a Partition Wizard thingy which involved System partition, I was greeted by some BSODs (which were solved later somehow).

onboard video is probably better or just as good as the one you put in

I have no knowledge about computer parts. It may have been a typo as there is a six core pc with identical specs on that site too

Question:
I have a folder called "Program files (x86)" I did research and found out that this is something to do with a 32bit system. I am currently running a 64bit system and I was wondering if I could delete this folder? If not, how can I change the properties so that I cannot add any files in there? I'm sick of my files being separated across the 2 folders (Program files & Program Files (x86))

Which 670? Parents said I could get an upgrade from my 560 Ti. They would buy me any card up to $400 since my dad got a fairly large bonus.

I think (Don't trust on this) that they are about the same. They are just different company's making the exact same GPU so I doubt there is a big difference.

The MSI card is clocked higher. I'd go with MSI, but if you planned on overclocking yourself it doesn't matter.

General computer/electronic advice that all should know:

Always avoid carpets with computers and open electronics.


Over the years with a subpar carpet your fans will complain. This is due to all the fibres. I prefer to keep all my electronics that I don't use in locked drawers and stuff so they don't attract dust.

How many games do you have installed? Almost 80% of my Steam game library plus 12 other games are installed on my current computer and I am only at 106GB, even that is absurd to me.

10+ big (5gb+), high res games and 300gb totaled.
don't forget mmos if the person is subscribed to one, 20-30gb right there baby.

I have lots of games + lots of stuff.
