BoatyMcBoatFace wrote It honestly depends, current promo's, looking at various prices will all save money.

PC Building (If it's still active) is your best hope...
Okay, since I watched that first video that you shared with us (the 30 min. long one) and it doesn't seem like it's too hard of a task. Just getting the right things together and creating a budget is probably the most important. This is definitely something I would like to look into for the next couple of weeks

hey guys, (disclaimer: I have no clue when it comes to hardware) got my new PC not long ago and though I'm happy with it (it runs ok graphic games at ok fps) I want to get better FPS out of it, as trying to run stuff like Ark Survival Evolved and DayZ etc on medium makes it unplayable compared to my old PC...

My specs are as follows:

Processor (CPU) AMD A10-7700K Quad Core APU (3.8GHz) & Radeon R7 Graphics
Motherboard ASUS A68HM PLUS FM2+ (M-ATX, DDR3, USB 3.0, 6Gb/s)
Memory (RAM) 8GB Kingston DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz (1 x 8GB)
Graphics Card Integrated AMD Radeon HD 8000 / R7 Series Graphics
1st Hard Disk 1TB SATA-III 3.5" HDD, 6GB/s, 7200RPM, 32MB CACHE

Is there anything that stands out to you there as lacking? Hope to get this fixed soon.

Thanks!

If I don't recall I made my first PC when I was much younger and I used a tutorial on how to build one, yours is very detailed and simple, but today I felt embarrassed after thinking of my first build I ever done haha, but it did run well with a tight budget.

I built a PC in December but it keeps bugging out on me. Fatal errors that force a restart! Can't figure it out.
Windows 10
Intel Core I7 8700
Asus ROG MAXIMUS X HERO- motherboard
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti- video card
500 GB SSD
16GB RAM

It will run for 15-20 min than show up with an error, have to restart, there are times it will run for days without problems.

Most recent Stop Code:
Bad_Pool_Header
Kernel_securitu_check_failure
Whea_uncorrectable_error

There have been other stop codes but mostly generic

All drivers have been updated, all windows updates have been done.

Reinstalling windows has been unsuccessful
