Hey there /g/anons.
Please do not laugh at the question because I am complete moron when it comes to current technologies.
What I want to do is to upgrade my current, 5yo rig (or maybe 6 actually) with new graphics card and a new CPU if necessary.
I have:
AMD athlon II x4 635 CPU
8GB of RAM (not sure of the manufacturer, threw off the box some few years ago)
AMD Radeon HD 6770 (bought a while later than the rig itself because the previous one got rekt)
A gigabyte motherboard (attached the picture of it) with AM2+ and AM3 socket (as you can see it's written on the component) but I am not sure of it's exact model and name, since I have also lost the box when I moved. If it helps, the gigabyte logo on the radiator is blue, the plastic something around the CPU socket is orange, and there are 6 slots to plug the hard drive just below the RAM slots.
Budget is mediocre. I could maybe afford top tier components, but I hesitate since I do not play games as much as I used to, and I only need these parts to run some new games smooth. Other than that the rig works fine and I would not change it (well, maybe the fan on the CPU since it roars like a lion). I would pick the parts that would let me play my games without issues and with stable 50 fps on high, even if it would go outdated within a year.
So, can you recommend anything? Bonus points for office software running faster, but this rig would be mainly for video games.
Pentium g598 overclockrd or i3 6100 if you dont wanna overclock

Thanks for the answer, but the socket is for AMD CPU as far as I understand.
Also, will it be possible to buy a processor for AM2+ or AM3 socket + a better GPU that will not be restricted by it?
I will probably no longer need a better computer after this upgrade, so I don't want to buy a full rig, but that's also an option.
>>53617040
But I do.
>>53617284
Sweet. What one are you running? Im thinking about running i3
>>53617040
unnecessary, time consuming why bother
Hey /g/ should I upgrade my 4S to the SE?
It is a reasonable update, yes. The hardware is several generations newer.
No, get the iPhone 7 Plus.
>>53616982
If you use the 4S as a phone, SMS, music and 4chan appliance, then no it can go for another year.
If you want a better camera and night shift for $399, then yes.
Hey /g/ - i have a pentium 4 1.7ghz 768mb of ram
PATA slots ....
I'm thinking of making this a server or something. maybe dual booting Arch + XP to have a retro games machine... What can i do with this on arch?
I'm thinking of wanting to run : Docker, Mongo, MySql, Node, nginx+php and Mono + ASP vNext - all in small quantities (Kinda just to have a test and benchmark shit) and not all these at once. just to have a server that i can just have...
As well as something like samba or vsftpd for a file server system
Also I have a 320GB HDD...

Well you'll probably want the faster one in the server.

Anyone use powerline wi-fi kits?
Are there any better than 802.11n? I've heard yurop fags have some better kits (Tenda? or TP-Link?)
Trying at all costs to avoid running CAT cable through walls.
I've tried it.
Works better than regular wireless.

>Trying at all costs to avoid running CAT cable through walls.
But CAT is so much better.
>>53616944
this
cat 5e for short range
cat 6e for longer range
cat 7 for long range plus 10gbit speeds
um... i think google may have figured out some things about me.
how do i make this disappear? i dont want to be browsing youtube with a friend or relation and get outed by this shit.
Check your google account settings. Opt out of the botnet. Google will still track you anyway.

Found the mac user. Only mac users adopt this sort of ugly hipster taste.
Hi there, I'm a Windows user trying to get into Linux and wanted to know what do you think about Elementary OS as a first step into the unknown. I´d like to install Gentoo or Arch Linux some day but for now I need something not so time consuming and easy to learn. What do you think? Thanks in advance.
>>53616355
Its shit, go with ubuntu if you want to learn linux.
Don't listen to the meme trolls. There's nothing you can't learn in elementary, or ANY linux distro, that you can learn in gentoo/arch.
Elementary is a pretty nice OS. Tightly controlled to conform to a unified look, which may or may not appeal to you, but there's nothing wrong with that.
In my experience it was a tad sluggish compared to other distros, but nothing unusable or frustrating.
Give it a try, you might like it enough to keep it. Or you might like the concept but want something else. Who knows? But there's nothing wrong...

why is shit? Any text/vid link to learn more about it? The flame wars are real and I get so fucking confused :s
>still no skylake MBP
what are they even doing
releasing watch bands bro
they didn't announce a laptop update, did they?
Intel had problems with Skylake. Apple wasn't going to change their release cycle to work around Intel's timeframe. There'll be new MBPs in August (most likely).

There is literally nothing wrong with Windows 10. Telemetry is used to keep Windows secure, and to help Microsoft improve the quality of Windows.

I did all of those and also programmed the earth too. All of the major companies were programmed by me. People are/were programmed by me. You are nothing compared to me.
you are inferior

>“On Sunday, March 20, 2016, an outside party demonstrated to the F.B.I. a possible method for unlocking Farook’s iPhone,” Justice Department lawyers wrote in the filing, referring to Syed Rizwan Farook, one of the San Bernardino gunmen. “Testing is required to determine whether it is a viable method that will not compromise data on Farook’s iPhone. If the method is viable, it should eliminate the need for the assistance from Apple.”
Former Apple engineers?

inb4 it's John McAfee and his group of hackers and social engineers.
>>53616090
I thought McAfee was full tinfoil.

Who else would it be really.
He's shittalked the FBI enough at this point to where refusing his offers only reduces the public's trust in the FBI's ability to actually solve these crimes.
What possible reason would compel someone to operate an exit relay? How does this even work, is anyone really that stupid?
>What possible reason would compel someone to operate an exit relay?
They want to support tor and help the performance of the network. If you have skills and server space, it is one ways in which you can contribute.
>How does this even work
You run the tor client in exit relay mode. Preferably on a system with a fat pipe like a server in a server farm.

Why not make all programs portable?

Can we get a little Debian General?
I really like the idea behing it, i like the idea of a rock solid distribution to learn about the GNU/Linux world and i really cant think of any other distro that represent this same idea.
Now, Debian has his flaws of course, old packages, no propietary software where its need it (GPU, CPU f.e.) and the same old song about its a server distro that i think it has his points.
So....why do you use Debian?
what do you do when you finish installing it?
Do you use as a desktop distro? as a server? why?
Why do you think...

I wanna try debían , i am a noobuntu. Is really more difficult debian?

The stability is not overrated.
If you really need your computer it's nice knowing that it won't be fucked after a single update.
>>53615212
If you can follow written instructions, no.
