    How Much Do You REALLY Need For Strictly Gaming?

    I think I may have found the direction I will move towards. Similar to this, with an i5 7500 and RX580 paired with the Oculus Rift. https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/gRbtt6/budget-vr-gaming-build https://support.oculus.com/170128916778795/

    How Much Do You REALLY Need For Strictly Gaming?

    I have been following some tech channels and looking through forums. Especially certain TechTubers that cater to mostly gamer audiences seem to feature $2500+ builds that many people would never come close to fully utilizing. For the PC I am looking to build, I would like to stay near the $1000...

    GT 1030 Passive Actual Power Consumption/ Safe Limit

    I have decided to go with the DeskMini, Intel G4620, and 4GB or RAM. I like that the DeskMini comes with MOBO, case, power supply, and wireless for a decent price. Its also very small and will fit about anywhere. It has support for all the way up to a 7700K, 32GB of RAM, and NVMe storage...

    GT 1030 Passive Actual Power Consumption/ Safe Limit

    Oh! Well that changes my decision. Thank you for the heads up! The ASRock DeskMini with a G4620 would be my next choice. I don't mind building. Cost and energy efficiency are really the biggest factors for this one. I am not well versed in HTPC and NAS usage or the intricacies involved. I am...

    GT 1030 Passive Actual Power Consumption/ Safe Limit

    I have been using this Lenovo for regular tasks such as web browsing and watching YouTube for about a week, and I am finding that it sluggishly gets by with these tasks in its current configuration at 1080p. Perfectly fine for out in my shop and uses barely any power. Perhaps I will dedicate...

    GT 1030 Passive Actual Power Consumption/ Safe Limit

    Thank you all for the replies and for the info. I will see how it fairs using the HDMI out. I also like having a PC hooked to my computer, and it is kind of a bummer that services like Netflix won't support all hardware capable of 4k. Though you can stream almost everything from your phone...

    GT 1030 Passive Actual Power Consumption/ Safe Limit

    Hello, I have a Lenovo ideacentre, model 310S - 08IAP. It's a low power machine with an intel J4205 quad core at 10 W TDP. I would love to turn the machine into an HTPC capable of 4k via display port, and it does have a PCIe x 16 slot. MSI's passively cooled GT 1030 would give me what I'm...
