RE: What kind of computer do you have?

in #computers6 years ago

@cosmiccrimes That pc you build is a beast, awsome.
using it for gaming purposes?
Is it cheaper to build it yourself? or did you do it so you could upgrade little by little?
I tried it once but once I replaced cpu and gpu I needed more watts and after i replaced the powersource for a better one, it got overheated so I needed a new cooler. Never doing that again!

Sort:  

I built this computer four years ago. It took me six months to get all the parts. At the time it was cheaper to build your own computer. I spent 2 or 3 G altogether. If I bought a computer with the same specs it would be 5 g easy. I dont have a real high paying job or anythging. What I did was sold a bunch of stuff on ebay to help. worked an extra shift. Anyway because of Crypto mining the prices of GPU has shot up!
I did play some games, but I haven't in quite a while.
Well, about your overheating problem. What you should have done is take all the parts you wanted and see how much watts all those components needed. Then you can see how many watt powerblock you need. Now I use the Cooler master system V8 they are awsome, but hard to install on certain motherboards.

I know now, but that was way back in like 2005 and I was like 15 years old and eager so when I did that I didnt bother to google upfront, just bought it and tried to build them in. after a few long hours and eventually (with some help) I got it in only to find out I had to buy more stuff haha.
I can do it now, but I dont value a fast computer anymore. all I do is internet (steemit streaming and sometimes some low spec games).
V8 sounds like a really fast cooler haha (get it? as in v8 engine).
have a nice weekend mate!

Sounds like you were overly enthusiastic and rushed in too fast.
And yes I will have a good weekend. And you have one as well.
