Um what
No sorry that is bullstuff

"Gold is a good conductor of heat and electricity and reflects infrared radiation strongly."
"The concentration of free electrons in gold metal is 5.90×1022 cm−3. Gold is highly conductive to electricity, and has been used for electrical wiring in some high-energy applications (only silver and copper are more conductive per volume, but gold has the advantage of corrosion resistance). For example, gold electrical wires were used during some of the Manhattan Project's atomic experiments, but large high current silver wires were used in the calutron isotope separator magnets in the project.
Though gold is attacked by free chlorine, its good conductivity and general resistance to oxidation and corrosion in other environments (including resistance to non-chlorinated acids) has led to its widespread industrial use in the electronic era as a thin layer coating electrical connectors of all kinds, thereby ensuring good connection. For example, gold is used in the connectors of the more expensive electronics cables, such as audio, video and USB cables. The benefit of using gold over other connector metals such as tin in these applications is highly debated. Gold connectors are often criticized by audio-visual experts as unnecessary for most consumers and seen as simply a marketing ploy. However, the use of gold in other applications in electronic sliding contacts in highly humid or corrosive atmospheres, and in use for contacts with a very high failure cost (certain computers, communications equipment, spacecraft, jet aircraft engines) remains very common.[52]
Besides sliding electrical contacts, gold is also used in electrical contacts because of its resistance to corrosion, electrical conductivity, ductility and lack of toxicity.[53] Switch contacts are generally subjected to more intense corrosion stress than are sliding contacts. Fine gold wires are used to connect semiconductor devices to their packages through a process known as wire bonding."

+1 point to not knowing that gold is more useful for electronics than jewelry


Nonononono
Get a i7
No. i5 is cheaper and more cores doesn't necessarily mean better performance.
get a better motherboard, ASUS is a good brand. And for the HDD, Go with Western Digital. The Seagates get quite a bit of bad reviews.

Also if you can afford it. Get a 2nd HDD for back up. Having a backup HDD is always good.
I'm not getting a second HDD.
Spending WAY to much on the Video Card.
If I'm spending so much on it, at least tell me what I should be allocating that money to. Otherwise it's not unproportionate, is it?
Not needed. I have the same processor as him, Runs wonderful and I can open TONS of programs with no slow down.

Also get this.

And a ASUS Motherboard.

Both of them have four stars and seem to be identical. Sticking with Seagate. (HDDs)

Also I see nothing better about the ASUS besides more USB 2.0s. :I
Get this HDD

Best choice over any other company at the price
That is literally the one in OP. lol

No its not. Do your research.
I know it is a good conductor
But 1. the difference is too small to be taken into account
and 2. wtf since when do computers use it for anything else than microchips

Someone on the reddit thread is suggesting I remove cooler since I don't plan to OC, and pouring that into an SSD. thoughts?

the difference is massive, you're just dumb, and no computer uses it, because gold is more valuable than copper

get some ssd under 50 dollars (your remains) large enough to hold the OS, then put all your other stuff on the hdd.

It will not make your computer faster that your mb has a gold bus stop being stupid

no stuff Sherlock

no it's not, I put the Samsung spinpoint f3 you have the stagnate barracuda, and the spinpoint is way more reliable than the seagate

You need to stop being a starfish to everyone every post. And shut up already, You obviously know nothing about computers.

It will not make your computer faster that your mb has a gold bus stop being stupid
i never even said it will make your computer faster, stupid, it will cut your electricity bill by a few dollars and make your PC more energy efficient.

you are really dumb

i never even said it will make your computer faster, stupid, it will cut your electricity bill by a few dollars and make your PC more energy efficient.
It will cut your bill by a few pennies a year. Not worth the cost of gold over copper.
