would a R7 360 and a 8320 be good for bitcoin mining?

I haven't bitcoined in a long time so I couldn't give you a 100% answer but AMD is the best route to go to get the best bitcoin mining results however

Finally got myself a rather large external HDD to do a massive data purge

5TB or 4.54 because typical manufacturers but w/e, with employee discount and some rewards points I got it down from 179.99 to 110 with tax so I did a good job

No, Bitcoin mining is basically pointless nowadays IIRC. You'll spend more on electricity than what you'll earn from mining.

tbh there's no point to mining anymore

[ZSNO]

Even if you did mine, doing it on a normal computer is terrible. You'd want to buy some ASIC chips

it's actually 5tb because microsoft has a history of labeling it in tebibytes, etc instead of actual terabytes

Yeah boys, I'm set.

I didn't know that game was available for desktop (presumably a flash game?)
if you're signed into kongregate does it sync your progress between that and the mobile version

Isnt that thing on steam?

Either way the mouse is p ugly imo. And I got the same GPU, Only not the gaming version. Its a solid GPU that can handy Crysis 3 at max and Witcher 3 at high settings both reaching 60FPS.

I'm not too sure, but I've heard you can.

Also:



Oh and that thing between the CPU and the mouse is the 8gb ddr3 ram stick that likes to reflect lots of light it seems.

My motherboard decided it would be lil stuff and not come with any screws to attach it to the case.
What kind of screws are the standard for this sort of thing? Or does it depend on the specific mobo/case?

Most cases come with all the screws you need for doing anything in the case

I thought the front box said BDSM at first

yeah turns out it did
the guide i was looking at though said it came with the mobo and the case hid the screws pretty well

The guide might have been pretty old, IIRC the motherboard used to come with the screws and standoffs to mount it, but nowadays they all come with the cases instead
