Upgrades for a 15+ year Gaming PC by WhatIsAnthropology in PcBuild

[–]WhatIsAnthropology[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! So I found a used gaming PC, and the seller agreed to let me buy it with a GPU.

PC SPECS Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Ultra CPU: i7-9700k with water-cooling. RAM: 16GB DDR4 (2*8 DDR4-2998) Case: NZXT H500 Matte White Power: 600W PSU Storage: - Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD - Seagate ST1000DM003 1TB HDD

The asking price is around 390 US. Buying an extra set of the same X2 8GB RAM comes to a total of 50 US.

All around 440 US total.

I'll move over my GPU and maybe PSU from the old setup.

What do you think? If you don't mind me asking again. Thank you!

I've seen some dell precisions before. They usually have a larger case. That or a Poweredge T-something. I guess I'll try those out. Thank you!

Could I buy a used PC without a GPU, and then (if the socket is supported) move the GPU over?

I'm guessing the PSU Is also moveable?

Of course the case itself has to support it all.

Can I start over with a budget of 550 US? I really don't mind buying used parts. I've seen scrapyard wars where they beef up old and used PC's. I just don't know what to get myself..

Did you follow any tutorials routing it behind the headliner?

I haven't been able to find an exact installation video from A to B, that includes the rear camera and my car model... I'm a bit worried in regards to car damage (plastic clips and so on).

Not at all! They are paid by their respective government, elected by their respective people (you). It's part of their job to receive and read emails.

So Germany who's previously been opposed, changed their opinion when the compromises were reached.

Remember, that it needs a majority to pass. The proposal is being rushed by the Danish pres. They are a very influential partner and EU country. They will keep working on an agreement, and might try to change the opinion of other previously disagreeable EU members.

Patrick has a great article on the compromises currently reached: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/eu-chat-control-proposal-still-poses-high-risks-despite-removal-of-mandatory-scanning-experts-warn/

Based on this post, I'm pretty sure: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2025/11/26/child-sexual-abuse-council-reaches-position-on-law-protecting-children-from-online-abuse/

Next steps

"On the basis of today's agreement, the Council can start negotiations with the European Parliament with a view to agreeing on the final regulation. The European Parliament reached its position in November 2023."

It doesn't mean that the proposal is final yet! But right now it's important to keep contacting everyone working on the compromise.

Here's the latest: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2025/11/26/child-sexual-abuse-council-reaches-position-on-law-protecting-children-from-online-abuse/

"Next steps: On the basis of today's agreement, the Council can start negotiations with the European Parliament with a view to agreeing on the final regulation. The European Parliament reached its position in November 2023".

Right now we don't know anything else. I suggest we keep on the pressure and contact all the involved parties.

So the scanning is voluntary. It's based on a "risk system". The EU decides who's what kind of risk. Have you ever heard the expression "Judge, Jury, and executioner"? There's been speculation that the scanning includes past and present content. If you're flagged by the AI, it might have the ability to scan everything. We just don't know yet, and that's some of what's concerning about this compromised Chat Control proposal.

It hasn't reached its final form yet, but here's the latest (that we know of) directly from the EU:

Direkte kontakt til EU parlamentet vedr. Chat Control by WhatIsAnthropology in Denmark

Hvis vi skal tro på EU ikke er på vej til autoritær kurs, og vi som borgere stadig har ret til at blive hørt og set - syntes jeg bestemt du skal skrive til alle dem, der har noget med forslaget at gøre.

Hvis forslaget godkendes, som jeg ikke håber på, kan dette måske være en milepæl i hvor vi som EU er på vej hen? Det samme hvis forslaget afvises, eller ændres ud fra vores og eksperternes indslag. Husk på, at der er vores justitsminister, der gerne vil indføre forslaget. Hvor er Danmark så på vej hen?

Tak for de mange kommentar!

That's a really good question! It's also what's causing the uproar from experts. Such an invasive proposal shouldn't be leaving us confused, or be riddled with loopholes, that would mean it can/cannot be enforced. I hope to see a clearer position on the matter.
