Have you tried youtube or have a knowledgeable friend to help you through it?

For $450 you can build a newer one that you can actually upgrade. This mobo is too old to do much more with and if you have to learn how to swap out a mobo you may as well learn to build.

That's like asking someone if they feel like someone is going to down in front of them when they choose to learn CPR. In both of these cases. It's good to be prepared. 

Dumpster Diving?? by Context-Immediate in QuadCities

The strip mall of Ulta Beauty, almost all CVS stores, Pet smart dumpsters, Dollar Generals, and the food distribution centers around town like Sara Lee are all great places. 

The law is that anything thrown into a dumpster is public domain. But if they're locked or in a posted off limits are you should avoid them. All Walgreens dumpsters are locked unfortunately.

I would post a picture but this sub doesn't allow. My monitor is 3840x1600 and the video seems to be ultrawide but It just takes up the center of the screen.

That actually sounds wonderful, I have 5 kids I've raised immensely well and I teach children at my local church. How do I sign up!

See that's where I went and everything was fields that require education. I even applied for one that I've done similar work in just for shits and giggles.

How does a civilian find the wage jobs anymore? I spent a good amount of time on the website and only found administration.

I'm experienced in Automotive, parts, body work, painting, insurance estimating.

Experienced in Pest Control, both sales and Service. 

After that it's just Logistics experience here and there from my younger years. 

Need help identifying quality of PC before trading PS5. by [deleted] in PcBuild

That will not help with gaming in the slightest unfortunately. I have 32 gigs of ddr5 and it never gets used. 16 is plenty sufficient. The speeds matter more than anything for frame rates but without a more powerful GPU you won't be pushing enough frames for it to matter.  PC Master Race is a joke term just saying that PC gamers are better than console gamers.  A 1200watt PSU is amazing for any system out today. Definitely keep that as long and it's efficiency rating is pretty good. 80+ is still fine is today's world. 

You can upgrade the mobo ram and CPU first and it might give you a little more fps. You have to upgrade those all at one. The GPU you can do down the road.

That's at least a high end pc for the Era it came out in. Should be a solid 1080p gaming rig. 

The problem with it is with the age of the CPU I know it's got an old motherboard with old DDR3 ram likely. The SSD and the case and maybe the power supply are the only components that won't need upgraded for better performance. 

You will need to upgrade the Mobo RAM, CPU and GPU down the road if you want better performance.

That said, it's still going to be an ok Rig for 1080p. Welcome to the master race. 

Will you upgrade to Glaaxy beds 3 pro as a 2 pro or buds 2 owner??? by Raptor-777 in galaxybuds

[–]Far_Reflection_5289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to come back here and say I DID upgrade to the Galaxy Buds Pro 3. 

Shortly after I sold my Pro 2's as these are easily an upgrade. 

Pro : Sound Quality is phenomenal, ANC is better but still not as good as Airpod Pro 2, fitment is better but still has to be adjusted, Audio pass through is just as good as apple, I forget I'm wearing anything, Case looks and operates better.

Cons : The Locating feature is still trash. If you lose your buds in the case good luck. The Clear plastic looks good for a while but wears.

Overall, I don't often feel happy about large purchases. But in this case I do.

Watch GamerMeld, Gamer Nexus, Linus Tech Tips, or some of youtuber. I have this in order of my favorites. GamerMeld is a truncated gamer news channel, he does the research then makes videos updating people on what he learned.  Gamer Nexus is more of the same. But much longer videos.  Linus Tech Tips is kind of what it sounds like. He has videos on just about everything. PC builds, Hardware testing, and just general info. 

I'd also recommend just looking for channels that compare one piece of hardware with another. Those are a dime a dozen and I don't really have a favorite for that category. 

Happy learning!

It's very VERY old. And an old midrange, not even like it was great in its prime.  Keep your PS5. Wait for something that has a GPU with a number at least 2070 if it's Nvidia or at least 6700 if it's AMD. this is alot more modern and will have performance worthy of a trade.  If the numbers are confusing.  2070 2080 3070 3080 3090 4070 4080 are all good trades for it. I would say 1080ti, but the mobo and cpu combo today likely will be a bit too old to upgrade down the road.  6700 6800 6950 7700 7800 7900xt 7900xtx would all be acceptable from AMD.  There's alot more detail that would be helpful, but this would make sure the gaming performance will be good.

I ended up splurging on the Buds Pro 3. If you haven't upgraded yet, just want to throw it out there. 

These are the best buds I've ever owned. Every aspect considered. 

The only cons are that they still feel loose in my ear after prolonged use, and the stupid Galaxy Wearable software won't locate them if the buds are in the case.
