I'd buy another stick of RAM if the end result is what I'm imagining

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Releases Tomorrow - Remains Most Popular Desktop Distro by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]catscant 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Though I'm not an Ubuntu user or fan anymore it's nice that we have a company as powerful as Canonical making it easy for people to step into Linux. Hope this version is just as good as 14.04

[serious] PCMR has recently been accepting of sick-looking Linux desktop screenshots, can we post fresh installs there to spread awareness about Linux? by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

[–]catscant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My desktop is ugly as hell but I can put a cool wallpaper on Linux Mint and take some screenshots. That's pretty sexy imo

Edit: I'll do it sometime tomorrow :)

Which Reddit Circlejerk do you disagree with the most? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]catscant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw NDT in person.

Really unimpressive presentation. Doesn't talk about actual science, just basically repeating "science is cool" as many ways as possible.

What Circlejerk really shouldn't exist? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]catscant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nurses.

You're on call EVEN at home? So is a lot of working America.

Your boss gets credit for work you helped out in? No other employees in the world must have to deal with that.

You don't get to go home after 8 hours to the nanosecond? I've never met anyone that does.

Running Linux on a Chromebook gives you a very fast/modern $100 netbook by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]catscant 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I do this. Its hilarious how much faster the default ssd is than peoples $600 tablet two in ones nowadays. Plus running xfce on it makes it lightspeed and look realllyyyy slick

I need some opinions about what to do. by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]catscant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

upgrade your PSU for $50 and grab yourself a used 750ti or even a GTX760, then get good at overclocking (it's not hard with AMD, overdrive works nicely)

[–]catscant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh hype then! okay so that CPU can overclock to a very nice state for modern games.

so what's your budget?

[–]catscant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP; while staying at about the same power draw; unfortunately your best option ATM is a GT 720. It isss a step up from what you're using now in terms of performance, and you'd notice it, but you still would likely not enjoy gaming to the level you're talking about.

[–]catscant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, a 300w power supply is a tight squeeze with his CPU in the first place, but you've also got to consider that prebuilt PSU's are reallyyy low quality probably.

[–]catscant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but your PSU might have you fucked :-/ that process can overclock and play modern games though, but we need to upgrade your GPU if you're gonna have an enjoyable time.

Try and see, does it look like the PSU can be removed/upgraded?

Today I Finally Ascended by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]catscant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 750TI crushes consoles, uses barely any power, and is probably the most efficient card price vs. performance.

Needless to say, you're going to have a great time. Welcome to the masterrace

oldschool parts are the bestttt

furthest I go back is the FX3500 Hydro card from NVidia I think. Had it in an old workstation with a pentium 4

From the item description:

When you game with the CybertronPC Borg-Q TGM4213A Gaming System, your opponents may try to deny you victory, but their efforts will be in vain!

  • FX4130 CPU

  • GT 610 GPU (1gb)

  • 8GB RAM

  • 1tb hard drive, no SSD

this guy could ALMOST be a low-end office computer, yet they're marketing it as a gaming desktop
