Ideally, you'd also want to place your CPU + Motherboard purchase on hold.

AMD's Zen platform should launch in a month and has a comparable IPC to Intel's Broadwell-E, all chips will overclock with an appropriate chipset unlike Intel. The current A2 pre-release 8 Core Zen CPU is able to run a sustainable daily use overclock between 4.2-4.4GHz. So an additional 100-200MHz should be fairly achievable on the quad core variant.

If the CPU+Board bundle of a Zen + Overclocking board are priced at
equal or lower
than a 6500 (3.6GHz) + entry level board, it's a compelling alternative for 2017 PC buyers.

It'll also be less susceptible to planned obsolesence since AMD's committing on AM4 socket compatibility till their 2020 processors. In the long haul, you can potentially
decouple a CPU + motherboard bundled purchase, sell your old CPU
and end up with a larger budget to fund your next processor upgrade if you'd like to go with the cost-effective route.

In plain english, the competing platform to Intel's Core i series processors by AMD should launch at in a month. They will likely be priced lower at a comparable performance level to the Intel Core i if all goes well as promised.

You can begin shortlisting hardware components already. But watch the Intel i5 + motherboard prices and compare it to those of AMD's equivalent in a month. If you're able to make some cost savings, you'd have a larger budget to work with on other PC components and periphery.

Should I just buy a premade if I really don't care to do anything other than school work, league, and runescape? Would that be easier/cheaper on me in terms of total cost and function. Also I live in Hawaii atm so the shipping costs is really dumb if I can not find it on amazon. ~God is a Poro~ NA Akali main ~Poro Lover~

You could.

The context of this video applies, with the basic Intel HD graphics vs. a mid range low power graphics card. But swap the RX460 for 1050/1050 Ti due to NXT's current performance bias.

Though I'd recommend 8GBs of RAM if you'd like to run NXT on an Intel HD (avoids memory related game crashes).

Ok so what happened to my old comp was I had to factory reset it to windows 8 and wipe everything because of issues... So I did that then when I was installing windows 10 it wiped both OS off of my comp. The bios still reads my comp I just have no factory reset or OS on my comp... It has other issues bc of age but it works for now.

Do I need to get a windows reinstall disk to put windows 10 back on it? When I tried to reimage it the computer said it cannot use my reimage disk and the recovery disk i made from another comp only allows me to get passed the unable to boot insert media or something and to the command prompt bios reimage and recovery stuff.

I have a recovery disk
5 reimage disks
1 repair disk

It should still work... do I need to redownload windows 10 to put it back on


E2:

I can get to attempt to repair with the recovery disk but it locates problems and attempts to repair forever.

E3:

Is using the windows media creation tool to make an ISO file the same thing as me putting the reimage files on disks?

E4:

I think I accident deleted all my partitions. IDC about my files can I just reinstall windows? ~God is a Poro~ NA Akali main ~Poro Lover~

You should be able to install Windows on an empty hard drive (no OS). If you don't have any Windows installation setup disks, then you can download the Windows 10 ISO for free via Microsoft's web site. You don't even need a product key. I believe the "unlicensed" version just has some minor limitations (such as a permanent watermark on the desktop) but nowhere near as bad as previous OS'.

You'd need to make the USB device "bootable" (Microsoft has a tool to do this). Once done, you can boot from USB. You head to the BIOS and make sure the USB device is set as priority. Setup should then begin as normal.

If Windows is unable to install anything on your hard drive, it may be defective and a replacement would be required if that's the case. .
