I'm curious why you had to hide your drive model numbers.

[ahoy]

I wish I built mine, I'm saving up though

[Maxwell.]

no, I got it prebuilt when I was 14 and I was too much of a pusillanimous individual to do it in fear of breaking stuff

my next computer though is going to be built

[Metalliku]

No and its terrible

These are the specs (if somebody cares):

Amd Radeon R5 230 1gb
Amd Athlon 5150 1.6 ghz
8 GB RAM
500 GB of storage
I dont remember how the motherboard was called

Im still saving for a new computer, but i dont know what i will do with this one

i use both mate and kde plasma (i like visually pleasing desktop but i need a lightweight desktop for running vms + having hugepages)
also it's ignoring my gtx 1070 that's unbinded from the nvidia driver and is binded to the vfio-pci driver

I can afford an i7 now but replacing the CPU seems like a hassle :[

[Anybody]

original pc was bought pre-assembled but the only original parts remaining are one of the hdd and the case
next part on the chopping block is the gpu

[SimpleFish]

I bought an alienware when I was younger and didn't really know what I was doing, but I upgraded the gpu and cpu recently so no and yes I guess. Gonna build a new computer in 1 - 2 years probably.

[Donnies Catch]

yea back in 2012 i think

[Mr Queeba]

swap with an i3-7100 if you dislike pentiums
add a graphics card if you dont want to save $100

EDIT: I forgot you had a GPU

Na no thanks, the pentium would be a downgrade and jumping straight to a b250 would be a waste of money for a budget oriented gaming pc. Plus the PSU is way too over powered (I'm not a fan of EVGA at all either, same for the gpu, no evga) and I don't want or need an SSD

Plus I like the cooler master case

give me it pls

[Mr. Bones]

Nah, when I was 14 me and my step-dad were planning on building one but he said forget it and bought me an Alienware X51 R2.  Runs well and is compact.  Only games I couldn't run were DOOM and DS3 (both were unoptimized dogstuff games though).
