Jesus
I clean my loving laptop every half a year.
A laptop? Do you even know how hard it is to take apart that piece of stuff?

Thinking about buying a Raspberry Pi 2 since I got 50 bucks from my brother this Christmas. I have a few questions.
specs: 1 gu ram, 900 mhz, quad core
Will it run steam games smoothly like GMod, Blockland, or even less demanding games like Battlefront ll with low settings?
Will Windows XP run fine on those specs and run it smoothly if not almost smoothly?
I will still keep my regular PC but this just seems like a neat thing to have. After all, It's like under 50 bucks.

Its stuff
Save up for better stuff
Even my phone has more ram better specs in general
Also with those its hard to determine if it will run games. Whats the gpu?

No to all, but not because of lacking specifications but rather because it's a different architecture altogether. Every raspberry pi is powered by a variation of an ARM chip (like the ones in smartphones) instead of a x86 processor (e.g. the ones used for actual 'computers/pcs'). In short, it won't run at all unless it's ported over or emulated (both are probably dreadfully slow).
It's not like the raspberry pi doesn't have it's uses though, you can use it as an emulator to plug directly in to your tv via hdmi, or use it to host a web/game server.

So I was looking back at my build knowing I am going to change allot in the future (CPU and GPU (also the PSU)) and I had like a $180 CPU (i5-4460. Quadcore 3.2Ghz) and I remembered myself the $500 pc thread and some dude had a build with a dual core. First I was like "stuff man dual core will bottleneck stuff" but I didnt really knew it had hyper threading. Wich means it basicly has 4 cores. or almost. Well the problem the CPU used an LGA 1151 socket while I have a MB with an LGA 1150. So I looked arround and found this.
Will that cpu bottleneck the stuff out of an R9 380 or is it okay?
Nah forget i7.
