[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

[Alyx Vance]

That's under the price you gave me, 4GB isn't going to leave any room for running an intensive game and doing anything else, Windows itself will allocate at least 1GB of that 24/7

Don't worry about it, I have someone else setting one up for me on another site with better prices. I'll show the rig here when its all set up.

You literally can't get better prices unless you're getting bulk discounts, PcPartPicker checks very many sites to get the best final price, and includes the promos and whatnot

I'm sorry Alyx, you won't get a better machine than what I gave you for under $500, it's not going to happen, and any changes you make are going to be dollars cheaper for a lot less performance, I guarantee it

[Alyx Vance]

Due to savings and stuff throwing off prices I'm going to wait a little bit longer until I get the PC setup. I can order sept 12th.
Sorry if I wasted your time.

no problem, it took me like 5 minutes to put that build together, don't pay attention to people telling you to rush it.

It's better to save and get the build you want rather than rushing and buying a PC that you're going to hate then spend MORE money upgrading later.

My dad set the budget at $500, he won't accept any cash to help add on to it. He's really serious about budgeting.

And so by waiting you're going to do what?  That's an honest quesiton, I'm wondering if you can't add anything why you don't just buy a PC today, or is your dad not giving you the money until september?

any good for just using the internet?

Why do people like ThinkPads so much? 4chan seems to love them too

What's so special about them? :o

[Nyskel]

Can someone inform me about overclocking a CPU?

I currently have an i5-3570K with a CM Hyper 212 EVO cooler

I think it's kind of everybody stroking each other for having the same thing.
Most thinkpads aren't exceptional in any way.

Newegg doesnt ship to canada unless its from the canadian newegg site.

Not gonna happen; Sorry.

With that budget, you're better off looking into a desktop.

[Titanium Man]

So I am still looking for a laptop that is ok with games for around 350-450. Turns out I can order from the US as well so its fine if its a US retailer.

if you want to play games ok on a laptop, be ready to spend at least 600

I don't get the money until September.

I don't get the money until September.

Then don't worry about it until september. Contrary to what you might believe, most of us don't care about you or your build. We don't need several status updates per page, just keep it to yourself
