So I've got about 500$

[Juan_Ambriz]

My computer is starting to fail, I've had this baby for 4 Years.
By failing I mean like it keeps shutting down randomly the fan hum is really loud the graphics card seems to shutdown/fail/crash, and overall I feel like its time to upgrade.
So I'm asking what's a good computer I could get and/or parts to make one keep in mind I have a little over 500 to spend I can get  100$ more but it would take about another month lol

Basic needs

At least 1T of memory
At least 8GB Ram
At least 7.1 Audio Card


Optional
Bluray Player/Writer

Are there any parts you can salvage?

Why get 8gbs when you can get 32 ? I mean you do have 500$ And what are your specs ?

That's fucking stupid, he wont even use 12 GB even when gaming -.-
Unless he's doing editing.

Pay to move it to your room.

I can salvage the HDD (1T) but I wanted to see if I can get a bigger size (2 or 3T) and the regular Disk Drive its a standard one though it doesn't support Blu-Ray

Also I have little to no knowledge on computer specs and such otherwise I wouldn't be asking for help

The use of this computer is Intence gaming and video editing/rendering (Sony Vegas)

Again there you go that bipolar snap against me Idk if you hate yourself or something but you should really work on that issue

And no it's not if he wants to run appilcations faster then sure 32gb may be over board but again he has 500$ and he wants to upgrade.

So yah please work on your little mental issues

You can't even salvage your case?
Do you need an OS?

Stop it,both of you.

He started it :<
no he didn't

no he didn't

It doesn't matter who started it,you should have kindly told him that Juan didin't need 32 gigs of RAM and if he still responded rudely,just ignore him.

But clearly since he himself said he will be doing some editing,it wouldn't hurt for some extra RAM.

As for saivon,i think you should be abit more respectful towards other people.This is a community,not a flaming zone.

I don't even think his board will be able to support 32GB of RAM... Go for 8, preferably from Corsair. You can easily get more if you feel that it's not as you wanted.

Then there's storage. Look at WD or Seagate. Both are quite reliable. If you're going for 1TB I suggest a 7200 RPM HDD.

As for the optional Blu Ray drive, I'm about to get one myself. I'm looking toward the LiteOn iHBS212. Well, that's what I can get in Australia. I'm sure you can find something better than that.

Something like this could work not including OS http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vA8E

Without it, I would go with an APU http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vAal

- you will never need more than 8gb of ram
- you will never need more than 2tb of storage, ever
- buy AMD's most expensive cpu and enjoy being the god of multi-tasking for less than $250
- buy as good of a GPU as you can get with the money left over
