Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
He might start gaming who knows what's going to happen as a new dad, he likes the sports games. But his setup was ~8 years old. He's probably not going to upgrade in years, so it's "future proofing." He might start using the rendering portion of the 2060ko as a side hustle gig in this shit economy.
He probably didn't need a 2060, he doesn't game. But he wanted to spend that much on a GPU. :rolleyes: He needed to get this PC before his child is born in a month. He couldn't really wait for a 3070. And I doubt the price/availibility would be on his side anyways, since he has to pull the...
Thanks for your help guys, I spent sometime looking into cloning the hdd. However I should have done more research as my friend didn't even know they had windows 8. That seemed too hard to figure out how to make work, so I did a fresh windows 10 install and we got the software by "other" means...
I'm going to preface by saying this is for my friend believe me or not.
My friend's laptop is showing it's age working from home. I told him I'd help him build a new PC, if he wanted to go that route. He took me up on my offer. We have all the parts, we're going to build it this Friday. I...
How does one determine credit? Isn't this incredibly subjective? What if I were to say they are currently ranked lower than samsung, nexus line phones, and apple. So they actually get the right amount of credit at the moment. You can't live off the coat tails of 2013 forever. What have you done...
Maybe you're right about the GPU. I haven't played a 3D game in a couple years. I've been addicted to magic online, which is mostly a memory hog due to poor coding. Though I think I do want a low-mid range GPU in case I get the urge to buy the latest Civ game or play Dota 2 with bells and...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Mostly web browsing and office programs. But I might want to play games in the future. So Id want a mid tier GPU. I want to try to build a quiet PC. I might try water cooling if its easy to install and fits in my...
Sounds good. I'm going to buy the antec p280 though. I like the mic/usb ports on the top of the case and I can just leave my old hardware in the p182 case and deal with it later.
Thanks for your help. I'm buying the rest of the parts you suggested right now.
The 30inch depth of the FT02 is too big for where I can put the case.
If I re-use my p182 case, what should I do with all the old hardware inside? Should I recycle it? Sell it? Give it away? I don't really have a use for turning it into a file server. I plan on keeping the old GPUs and HHDs...
Thanks Danny. That looks good. But I guess I should have noted that I don't want that big of a case.
I want something around the same size as the p182 which is:
21.3"(H) x 8.1"(W) x 19.9"(D)
The FT02 is:
23 x 13 x 30
Do you like the Antec P280?
20.7 x 9.1 x 22.1
I assume the mobo and GPU...
Thanks Quartz-1, i'll look into that.
Yes I have all the funds to make a purchase this coming weekend.
I don't really have any games in mind. It would be nice to have a decent GPU in case I want to play some FPS or RTS in the future. I guess a mid range GPU would be fine.
I currently...
