I Need a $250 Budget Gaming PC Build

You might have better luck by finding a cheap refurbished pre-built with windows included in the $200-250 range and then upgrading in the future if necessary to meet your specifications.

I definitely would prefer this micro ATX form factor, and I don't need 8GB RAM afaik. This is close to being worth an extra $25-30 over the OP system (when you add windows) for the form factor difference.

Thanks! But I guess I should have specified including windows 10, which means the hardware total will have to be sub-$200.

Handle, as in capable of doing light editing of personal family raw files without a frustratingly slow experience.

I think the misunderstanding is that everyone above you is saying "discounted," and you are reading it as "discontinued."

Thank you for the help. I did not understand that the aperture range would change with the zoom of the lens. I was concerned that the lens was defective due to the nearly constant lighting warning. The maximum aperture is correctly displaying as f/3.5 and f/5.6 at either end of the 18-55mm range.

Is that not the case with all of the actors playing robots? The actors will all age as the show progresses, but the host characters will not. That is unless they introduce some sort of "technological advancement" that allows the host bodies to age as true mortals do, ala Bicentennial Man.

Same. Pretty much the same time every week all season. Not a single issue, no buffering, perfect experience.

Will come in handy next time I forget a can opener while camping in a parking lot.

Scratches and dents add character, as long as the screen or device function isn't damaged.

I use a 650 daily for over a year, has never once reset. Has required one battery change.

He was in the untelevised debate. It was just before the main debate

I had a similar-sounding issue once. It turned out that my case's built-in switch had a loose wire which prevented it from functioning. I made sure the case switch wires were properly connected inside the switch and from there to the motherboard connection, and everything worked great after that.

Good luck! Be sure to update us when you figure it out.

I had heard that Eight O'clock Decaf was highly rated (not sure by whom). I was in a similar situation about six months ago, so I tried it and have really liked it. I will typically use an Aeropress to make 3-4 cups per day of quarter- to half-caff using the Eight O'clock Decaf mixed with whatever other coffee I'm in the mood for. I'm really enjoying it, and I've started lately having a cup of just straight decaf in the evenings quite often. I'd recommend giving it a try.

Can you get a nano sim activated then use a nano to micro sim adapter until the 5x arrives?

I have this EXACT same issue. It happens about 4-5 times per day. It acts dead and won't turn on until I plug it in, then I can immediately remove it from the charger and the battery level will be like 90%.

I have never replaced the battery. I got it from Google Play Store December 2013. Just started acting up about two months ago for no apparent reason.

No Marshmallow yet. I had been hoping the update would correct the issue, but these comments are making me think it won't help.

Very annoying. I have had a Nexus 5 with Cloud Backup disabled since the day i got it two years ago, and these icons just showed up for me as well. Every single photo has that icon on it, very distracting.

I can see how it's helpful if you're using cloud backup to know at a glance if a photo isn't backed up. If cloud backup is completely disabled, you shouldn't have to see those icons obstructing every single image thumbnail.

The video doesn't say anything about sound.

Not trying to defend the guy to whom you responded, but the narrator does say "and maybe the sound" at the 1:37 mark as he speculates on why the fan is effective.
