    's not a dumb question. General wisdom is a drop of paste the size of a rice grain. Which means the tube you got should last a WHILE.
  7. Seclorum

    Tech advice requested

    Yeah it's large and heavy but it shouldn't block any of the 9 ATX screw holes. And the paste that comes with the heatsink should be enough for a few applications. Just be sure to have some isopropol alcohol and fiber free cloth to clean the procesor off when/if you take the heatsink off.

    1st. Check the boxes for damage. Bent boxes, crumpled corners, water damage and such. If anything looks off, photograph it. 2nd. Open the boxes and check for internal damage to the boxes inside. Again, if anything looks off, photograph. 3rd. Open the final boxes. Same photograph rules apply...

    Yeah, when they get it in stock. As for upgrading the psu... well not really.Your PSU will only pull a fraction until you load something intensive anyway.

    Frankly, unless you want to jump up to some really expensive things, the card there will do just fine. Cards are in a bit of a holding pattern because next year there will be new gens with lots of improvements and upgrades... so i really dont recommend going for a balls out card unless you...

    Tech advice requested

    Yeah, I dont really recommend screen protectors anymore. Especially for a desktop application. You "Might" be able to get the tape to loosen up if you had a heat gun, but then you are also likely to just melt the plexi with it too. I've seen guys de-glass monitors by running a heat gun around...

    Yeah, for about a year I had this shitty little task chair that had no back support at all. It was pure torture any time I tried to sit there longer than half an hour. But then last Christmas I got a good durable chair with arms and a sturdy back! It's frigging sweet!

    The original plan we hashed out had more than enough ram, and plenty of SSD for you. So the sales might be able to net you savings in parts. Really I would look for any savings to be invested in peripherals you would be using. Monitor, Keyboards, Mice, A good chair... Althought I doubt you...

    Yeah. I had a critical PSU failure kill my machine, Once. Had another PSU die after that with a capacitor breach, It Exploded, and thankfully the better construction of the corsair unit saved everything else in my system.
  19. Seclorum

    Tech advice requested

    Yeah there are a couple general rules of thumb to picking a PSU. 1. Brand. Look for a big name or a company you know. Or at least a company that others know and trust. 2. Features. Does it have features you might want/need? Like Modular cables, which are REALLY REALLY nice to have. Or Eco...

    To start with why I would not suggest that PSU, The Name Brand it's sold under is rather... unknown. It's got a history of not honoring Warranty, Because it has a history of putting out rebadged mainland Chinese made units... with poor quality control record, The supplies I suggested...
