I want to buy new PC parts soon. Is there any reason why I should spend more than $100 on the mainboard? All I need is:
USB 3.0
PCI-e slot for a soundcard
PCI-e slot for a single R9 390
Okay, so, I'm in a dorm right now, and our campus internet rules disallow the use of one's own computer as a server or webhost. I'm looking for the best bang-for-your-buck VPS that could:
> Run a Minecraft server smoothly, with, say, 32 players and a handful of mods and plugins
> Host a website that allows small file uploads/transfers a la FTP (work in progress, not sure how I want to implement this), an overview of the Minecraft server map(s) (updated hourly), and a few other things I maybe choose to put on it.
> Be manageable from my dorm room; I have enough experience with Linux and the patience to learn commands and other things.
Anyone have experience with VPS hosters? I've done a little research, and most of the ones I'm looking at seem to run in the $20-30 range. Are there any cheaper/better ones?
Thanks in advance, to whoever responds. I appreciate experience.
I upgraded my windows 8.1 to 10 a few months ago. I have the old windows 8 pro disk I originally installed it with, and the product key in the box. Can I do a clean install of windows 8 pro again using that product key?

Need recommendations for new mouse, I fell for the "many buttons + crazy shape = best" meme and I dislike related mouse now. I need my mouse to have a scroll lock/unlock and at least 3 buttons in addition to the usual m1,2,3
Was thinking about picking up a G500S but I've heard tales of mouse acceleration on those.
>>51258507
Shouldn't be any problem. Worst case, you have to call the Microsoft activation service.

Logitech g502 proteus core
It does do the autistic gaymer marketing, but at the end of the day it is a solid optical mouse that is very productivity friendly
>>51258632
Look at it from an R&D point of view.
It would have taken considerable (comparatively) time to design that, which is tagged onto total cost and possibly overall quality.
How hard is it to port the modern games or for example latest version of Photoshop to Linux?
Anyone on Arch Linux just download the new update for freetype 2 infinality?
What the fuck did they do? my text looks like blurry shit now.
Anyone else got this problem? how fix?
Should i do clean install If i want windows 10 or maybe upgrade
My little brother installed warcraft 3 when i wasn't home and he installed some ad-ware and shit with it.I scanned the pc with Malwarebytes and it found two trojans now i removed them but are they really removed, do i need to reinstall windows ?
>>51258851
Do a full scan with whatever youre using as virus defender. I dont think you need clean instal
I Just built a new computer after not having one for a little over a month and I can't get my monitor to recognize it.
I actually have two towers right now and one I could get display out of by fiddling with it for a little bit (I have no idea why it worked but it did) and the other doesn't show anything no matter what.
It may also be worth point out that for the one that worked I plugged the hdmi cable directly into the motherboard and for the other one I have it going through the gpu because the motherboard doesn't have a hdmi port. Also the keyboard on the no-display one doesn't light up which means that it probably isn't even booting into windows.
Anyone ever have this problem? What's happening?
g3258 vs skylake vs amd?
My am2 Phenom died yesterday and I can't afford both i5 and good motherboard right now but will probably upgrade in a few months.
Occasionally I hear sounds coming from inside my computer. I don't really know how to describe them but they sound like something hitting against something else. I only hear them when I'm running games and such and my GPU (and presumably CPU as well) is being engaged so I assume it has something to do with that. What could it be? Fans?
Is Tor still secure?
>>51258841
Upgrade should be fine unless you have tonnes of crap all over the place.

It's about the make of the board, and factors that you didn't know you'd care about till you bought it. If it's your personal computer, just make sure it'll serve for 2 years, and that it's not a sketchy brand like v-color.

Why is it my Micro SD cards always report lower speeds than advertised? It's not just one card either, pretty much every card I have seems to give me shittier speeds than what they're supposed to.
I know when it says UP TO Xmbps it's unlikely to be Xmbps but even looking at user reviews everyone else seems to get much more preferable speeds.
Is there any possible reason for this? I don't understand and have tested on more than one device

Aaaand never mind because dirhams, so it's more like comparing to a moto g or zenphone 2e or something. UAE uses GSM, right? I'd prolly buy the crap outta this phone, but I wouldn't trust the "great for multitasking" marketing. Check the processor.
>>51260008

Lol nope, real raid is way too expensive and driver raid is shit. Anyway it's actually for three different system ssds, three storage drives in raid5 and two esata externals.

![Toshiba_1_TB_External_USB_Hard_Drive[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Pv835RV.jpg "Toshiba 1 TB External USB Hard Drive[1]")
With black friday coming up, I'm looking for an external drive.
What's a good brand/model I should be looking out for?
I plan on using it to back up personal and work projects since my computer is filling up fast. Fast read/write speed is a plus, but not required.

How do I do that? Any thoughts about arduino or raspberry pi?

Why do modulus as in absolute value and modulus as in the % thing have the same name? Who thought this would be a good idea?
My friends 4 year old AMD system is shitting itself. Bios stopped posting but after a reset it starts again, however after running Windows for about 20 minutes the USB loses power and GPU stops displaying anything but the fans keep going. This happens while running games or just being idling in Windows. Everything is clocked to stock speeds.
We're trying to figure out what the faulty part is but we're not sure if it's the motherboard or the PSU. Anyone got any idea what could be the cause and how to test it (no spare PSU to test with sadly).
Why does my windows 8.1 "System" process use 14% of my CPU? It's an i7-6700k.
How is this even possible? How do I fix this?
Is it fixable? Some caps far away from ram look slightly inflated.
>>51260417
Your bios should be able to display at least the basic psu voltage info, more expensive ones might have sensors for ram etc. Pic is example of faulty motherboard and good psu.
Also run memtest, 2-5 full loops, and some cpu stability\stress test.
What's the cheapest I can expect a 120-144hz monitor to cost during the black friday sale?
Anyone have experience with this from last year?
Should you convert lossy to FLAC if you cannot source a lossless version of the audio file?
The rationale being that even though the original file is lossy should you have to transcode it again for whatever reason you won't lose additional quality to generational loss.
Basically
320kbps mp3 -> FLAC -> 256kbps mp3
is better than
320kbps mp3 -> 256kbps mp3
Right?
>>51260452
rootkit
>>51260671
>Right?
no
the two examples you gave will give exactly the same result
>>51260717
If that's true then why does generational loss even happen at all?
>>51260717
to explain why that is, internally it looks like this;
320kbps mp3 > decode to raw audio > encode to flac (no loss) > decode to raw audio > encode to 256kbps mp3
and;
320kbps > decode to raw audio > encode to 256kbps mp3
What's a nice portable small laptop near $200-300 with good battery life?
Just need one for university notes and study.
>>51260750
because the 320kbps mp3 'source' already has sustained loss incurred by being encoded to 320kbps mp3 from whatever source it itself was made from
encoding that again means the next encoder will only have what the 320kbps mp3 left behind to work with in making the new encoding
that said;
320k mp3 > 128k opus
is better than, say,
320k mp3 > 256k mp3 > 128k opus
as you avoid potential additional/generational loss from the 256k mp3 stage
though ideally you want to make the '128k opus' from the source that was used to make the 320k mp3 in the first place
>>51260787
Fair enough. I think I get it now.
If I don't have a lossless audio file then any transcoding I do should always come from the highest quality file I have or can find as it will incur the least loss.
>>51260815
yes, if you want to be able to make new encodes with minimal generational loss, then keep a copy of the highest quality source from which to make new encodes from
having only a 320k mp3 means generational loss in inevitable, but you can at least avoid more than one extra generation
for example;
do:
320k mp3 > 128k opus
320k mp3 > 48k he-aac
320k mp3 > 256k mp3
etc
don't:
320k mp3 > 128k opus > 48k he-aac > 256k mp3
ideally you want to just use only 320k mp3, as any additional lossy encodes from it will be worse than what they would be from the original source, but when compatibility or size is a barrier for a certain use, then always source new versions from the best file you have, never generations below it

A friend of mine wants a gaming laptop (I know...) since he is traveling abroad next year. He is interested in one within the range of 600-800€. The problem is that said laptop is from some brand like MSI or Asus and he strongly dislikes the "Gamur Gear" theme of those. Are there any more sutile alternatives to this?
what else is there apart from pomf.se for all in one small file/image hosting that is secure?

Anyone?
Diceware passwords vs the Randomly generated gibberish ones that password managers use?
I know obviously with diceware the objective is to remember them yourself, but how secure are they against non guessing attacks?
I have trouble trusting password managers because they require me to backup the database file in a secure location. And I cannot in all honesty trust myself to responsibly back it up and tuck it away in a corner for who knows how many years. Probably it'll be perfectly fine, I just don't like the existence of the very slim possibility though.

How much FPS is it normal to achieve on GPUs like the 970/980Ti/390 today on CS:GO and other games that isn't too graphics heavy? I'm thinking about getting a 4K monitor, but monitors with FPS higher than 60 is a little bit outside my price range. If I'm thinking way ahead, is it justifiable to get a cheaper 60Hz monitor (I have 1080p @ 60Hz now and it's okay I guess) and just roll with it or should I wait for cheaper 120/144Hz monitors?

I developed a hatred of HP around 2009 after my first laptop of theirs experienced a myriad of issues (display problems, BSODing, overheating despite constant cleanings). I vowed I'd never go back to HP.
However, I really need a new laptop and I've fallen in love with a HP one: http://www.ebuyer.com/723847-hp-255-g4-laptop-p5t27es-abu? . I need the laptop to be portable, have a good battery and have a good processor. That has all of those, plus the benefits of a great HDD size, a slighty okay graphics which means I could play older games and an amazing price (£240 after a cashback deal).
Should I go for it? I'm not sure if HP have cleaned their act up since, although I felt a HP Stream a few days ago and the build quality was really nice.
I am running Firefox on Xubuntu 14.04 and I can't play YouTube videos in any video quality other than 360p and 720p, but the same video played in 144, 240, 480 etc on Windows.
Why?
>>51260685
I scanned with mcaffee and malwarebytes but both didn't find anything.
The same problem is even on my linux distro.
When I reboot my RPi running OpenELEC through the web interface (Chorus) it also reboots my router. Why would this be and how could I make it not be? It seems like madness to me desu.
How badly do Adobe applications work for basic usage (not enormous files) on tablets equivalent to x86 netbooks? I can get one for 50 bucks and I do some basic work from time to time, and that would also help me jump to linux on my main computer.

/diy/ reporting for backup, keen to set up a bunch of shared space across two hard disks (non raid) in an HP N40L, running media server 2011.
> TL;DR, How does /g/ set up their shares?
Plan is for 7 directories in total. 3 media (TV, music, movies), two personal, one torrent, and one public. I have set up appropriate user accounts to assign access per directory and am planning size limits per directory. Home environment, but I am pic related XP level with such toys, the hardware was dirt cheap, may as well form some good habits on my first server build.
In terms of access control and space management policies, is it "best practice" to use a directory, or dedicated partitions on the hard disks, for each allotment of space? I anticipate the media storage space will grow from their current sizes, and while discrete directories per sharespace makes this a non issue until the host HDD fills, my gut is telling me partitions per sharespace is more secure (user can encrypt if they want). I can resize the partitions easily enough if needed down the line.
Wut do?
Ugg. Hey /g/entoomen. I am currently dealing with cleaning my home computer's NTFS partition from adware, bloatware, bullshit, you know the works. Anyway after I finish cleaning the shit off the fan blades, I was thinking about setting up a limited user account.
All I really need is a way to prevent installation of programs/software, unless an administrator password is provided. Now I have absolutely zero experience with Group Policy, so I'm at a loss for what to do here. If you guys have any suggestions that'd be great.
>inb4 install gentoo
My family, wouldn't know how to work it cuz their retards.
Oh and my kid brother is responsible for the bloatware. Fuckin slim driver bullshit. Anyways I just need a way to prevent installation, so basically creating an administrator account.
what do you guys think about wacom ctl-470?
I'm trying to a somewhat decent PC for as little money as possible. I was thinking something along the lines of this. Is this fine? Is there anything that I should change?
The total currently is $674, though I plan on shopping around.
>>51263051
shit, just noticed the micro atx mobo.
Ignoring that, is there anything I should change.
>>51262855
Just make another account and limit the privileges. You don't need to fuck with group policy.
That being said, you're just going to piss off your family unless you okay it with whoever paid for that computer.
>>51263051
That's a lot to spend on the CPU.
What's your budget?
What are you going to use it for?
Specific games you want to play?
>>51262744
You shouldn't, unless you just like the software.
Otherwise, you're just limiting what you can do with your device and paying too much for the specs.
>>51258224
At which point is it acceptable to say: "I know (ex. Ruby)". How well should you be able to use a language, to officially state the above?
>>51263117
Enough to do most basic operations in the language.
Frankly, as long as you can sit down and solve any issue with a quick Google, you 'know' a language.
Now, throwing terms like 'proficient' and 'experienced' and 'mastery' requires a whole 'nother level of knowledge.
>>51263144
Well, that clears a few things for me. Thank you!
>>51263117
When you are fluent with it and it comes naturally without much thinking
read some Wittgenstein
>>51263051
I'm wanting to spend no more than $750, but I'd prefer less if possible.
The only specific games that I really plan on playing are Witcher 3 and Dark Souls 3 (when it comes out). I don't need to play on the highest quality either.
Also I produce music.
>>51263165
By the way, don't ask /dpt/.
They'll tell you 'knowing' a language requires you to implement every known sorting algorithm, as well as creating an implementation for at least 12 other languages within your language.
>>51263177
If I were you, I'd take a look at the 'Great'-tier here:
http://www.logicalincrements.com/
Sub out the processor for an 8350 or your choice of i5.
I'd recommend going with at least a 120 SSD for OS and your music program files.
Also, software and hardware for mixing/making music is not cheap, so I hope you've already purchased/pirated that stuff.
I personally use Reason, but I'll be damned if I'm going to drop $1500 for software and add-ins, so I pirated.
I installed my SSD yesterday and I want to throw in my HDD as a storage drive onto it

What's the most effective way to do this lads?
theres a digital 'clock' or something on my mobo.
what is this ? temp or something ?
>>51263349
Probably.
Either that or volts on your PCB.
Check the gyroscopic regulator on your PSU-a. It'll tell you that kind of stuff, including the rotational velocidensity required for the clock to even function.

How can I prevent update KB2952664 from being installed without my permission?
've already uninstalled it 3 times, and every time it comes back. My windows update settings are set to "allow me to choose wether to download and install them", and yet, it keeps getting installed on my machine without my permission. It doesn't even show up in the history of updates I downloaded, and I made sure it DID show up in the hidden updates section, so why is it being reinstalled at all?

So I've installed something that uses python2 how do I run it if my system run python3 by default?
The package "dosage from the AUR are written in python 2 but the default python in arch are to python 3 is there a way to change that behavior to that application only?
>>51264325
And suddenly it works again. Time is the greatest answer.
>>51264360$ python2 program.py
anything in the AUR should use .py files that specifiy python2 on the first line specifically, that is;#!/usr/bin/python2

I bought a GTX 970 about two weeks ago, and since then my monitors have been randomly turning off. Like, I haven't seen any pattern, I could be doing anything and they'll just cut out. Sometimes during playing games, sometimes whilst just browsing the internet. My screens just cut out with 'No Signal', but everything else like audio or people I'm speaking to on skype will still carry on, and they can still hear my mic. I've checked the drivers of the graphics card, so it's not that. I'm only asking here because I don't know what to google to find fixes, as monitors turning off is quite a common problem. IF the graphics card is the issue, it's still within the 30 days return period, so that's not an issue. Has anyone experienced this or heard of a fix for this?
I have a tv with integrated LAN and WLAN

Hey guys I have a strange problem.
I needed to make a loader for page so when it finishes loading it removes loader animation and shows the page and thats ok except the google map which is on the page doesnt get loaded. The frame is there , but map itself is blank.
Now hear this , when I zoom in/out page the map instantly appears?!!
What a hell do I do to make this load properly??

Is the i5-4460 a good budget CPU or should i get a i3-4160 or push for a i5-4590?

can't really answer that very well without context
why does my volume from the mobo max my headphones out around 30 percent. Aka 0-30 the volume changes, but 30-100 it stays the same. Using both ath m50s and hd598s with a lga1336 p6t.

>>51265515
I'm building a computer, but i have a somewhat limited budget and i want to get a CPU that is strong enough for games/etc.
And i want to know if the i5-4460 is good enough or get a cheaper CPU like the i3-4160 or a better one like the i5-4590.
I'm focusing my budget in the CPU and the Mobo.
>>51265590
The problem is strong enough for games can mean either being able to play them (which the 4160 would handle I guess for the next year) or being able to play them without tearing your eyes out, which isn't that cheap.
Should I get a r9 380 or a GTX 960? They both cost under $240
>>51265633
I'm looking for 1080p@60FPS on games like 2014+ and im sure the i3 isn't good enough for that so i pushed my budget to get a cheap i5.
Leaving the GPU aside, is it good enough?
Firefox is bloated and slow and run by SJWs, and i don't like the direction they're going with their design.
Chrome is botnet. Chromium is also run by SJWs and lacks the extensions I want.

I'm on linux, so Safari is not an option.
Palemoon has many of the problems present in Firefox with almost no benefits.

How well would a 680 be at 1080p at modern games like battlefront and Fallout?
In case I needed to upgrade what would be the choices? At the moment 1080p later on 1440p
>>51265752
Decent settings means high shaders, high this, high that. I would suggest you to youtube that processor with the games you want to see running on it. Still keep in mind that bad console ports (new assassin's creed games, arkham blight) and some PC exclusive that may come out of nowhere trying to push boundaries won't really deal that well with that.
>>51265110
Yes, in these days, you nearly always go for star topology (Pic related). The piece in the middle is your router. You need to maintain a cable connection between every the router and every device that shall be in that network. So you just plug your computer into the router, the tv into the router and allow access to your media (DLNA/SMB are mostly supported. I recommend DLNA, as you can use apps like YAACC as a remote, but the TV needs to support it, which is very likely)
>>51265538
If you like to store the information (not recommended), use luks to encrypt your HDD. Regardless of your decision: install a decent browser (I'd recommend Firefox, but that is personal taste) and security-improving addons like HTTPS everywhere or Certificate Patrol (Cert Pinning for every page). Also read up a bit on TLS/SSL so you understand the warnings and if you buy something, watch for https, because it will be the only way that your information is encrypted.
And think about where you shop, maybe look the shop up. Stay save and have fun shopping

My dad used to own a business that had a shitty PC on 24/7 and controlling his video cameras around the place and dumping the footage. I've inherited that PC, and there's a fuckton of .DAT files on it, which I'm assuming is the dumped footage. There's a whole partition called "DVR Data" full of them, in a folder called "EyeDAT". They're all 65MB though, so I'm not sure if they're actually video. There's a program called "Eyeviewer" installed that seems to handle it, but it's all government software and the install is since corrupt.
Basically, he's certain that the footage was dumped nightly and wants to view some of these .DAT files (which he thinks are the files but I'm not certain). There's no other folders that hold videos or anything. Any suggestions for opening these files?

2 possibilities. It's your OS, or the user reviews are paid. Probably paid reviews.

Install Arch, use a Windows 10 install disc or USB, go to "Repair computer>Advanced options>Command Prompt" to run "bootrec.exe /FixMBR" (no quotes) from the command line. THEN use a CD or USB burned with the "boot repair disc" linux distro, which will automagically fix all the boot thingies set up GRUB to use Arch and Win10 when it boots up. Source: I've dual-installed Kubuntu and Windows 7/10 about 5 times now

Some stores might, but since it's so laughably easy to set up a dual-boot yourself, it's probably not worth it to search for one and limit yourself like that

If the application requieres Net framework, you must install a similar framework called mono, but functionality is not guarranteed.

Thanks....
but im not supposed to use all that fancy stuff lol
shit i feel retarded for not mentioning this earlier, my b
would you happen to know how to do that without using any library functions except gets n puts?
oh an also strings must terminate with '\0'. not supposed to use pointers or globals.
thanks for the response in any case c:

that would explain the reason you wrote it like you did, hold on I'll have to think on this one
Alright /g/
Got my first AMD card and I'm not savy with the Catalyst control panel yet. Having one minor issue but it has to be solved or it will drive me crazy.
With the Nvidia control panel, I was able to create custom resolutions and refresh rates. My panel is native 720p, but I can force 1080p with scaling. Able to do that fine with the Catalyst panel. However, the pixel ratio (I think) is all fucked. With the Nvidia control panel, creating a custom resolution and refresh rate 'just worked' and it didn't squish the pixels down. Everything scaled fine and looked native. With this new card, everything looks sort of murky and squished. It's not windows scaling, and I've adjusted Clear Type to no avail. I'm also getting a weird blue shadow with Cyan.
I guess long story short-- is there any way to create custom resolutions with custom refresh rates via Catalyst? If so I've not found the setting and I've looked through everything.

you need to #include <cstdlib> to use random
other than that, nothing extra
#include <stdio.h>
#include <cstdlib>
int main()
{
int i;
char str1[40];
char c;
for(i = 0; i<40; i++)
{
char c = rand()%26 + 'A';
str1[i]=c;
}
puts(str1);
return 0;
}

Assuming you mean lambda functions, then its just a quick, generally one time use function, that doesn't have a name.

Jewgle says no. Sleep disables network communications, which makes sense as the point of sleep is to sue low power. If you don't want it to go into sleep while you're downloading, go to windows power options (easy on a laptop as you can just right-click the battery icon) and make a new power profile with "Sleep after" set to "never"

Posted this before - no one was able to answer.
When I shut down my PC it will turn off, then after 2-3 seconds of silence it starts up again (BIOS, then the OS loads). I have no idea how to even begin to troubleshoot this.
Ideas?
>>51271754
what mobo?
>>51271682
>>51271647
i tried it and it gave me too many characters:
(added line breaks for readability but yeah, its 11)
PHQGHUMEAY
LNLFDXFIRC
VSCXGGBWKF
NQDUXWFNFOO(
when i change the '40' from the for statement to a 30 it gives me the same output but without the " OO( "
which of course also is not 40 characters lol... know how to fix this? anybody?
>>51271754
For now my only shruggestion is to unplug/switch off in the 2-3 seconds before it turns on again

I'm almost totally sure that it is a driver problem. Try attaching anormal vga monitor to the non hdmi mobo, install the drivers accordingly of your gpu, and attach the hdmi monitor.

forgot to mention - I can power it down with the power button, while it's still on BIOS screen, but the thing will happen again, until finally 3rd time it shuts down. It's quite bizarre actually.
But on the other hand, sometimes it shuts down just fine...
>>51271823
that's because you limited me to being able to use true random.
rand() generates random based of a seed created by srand(), the only way to truly get random is to use srand(time(0)) or srand(time(NULL))
you can use srand(put what you want in here) to generate a different set of random letters
using 37 will get you 40 characters, and I'm not sure why , which is why the first method I posted was the first method i posted
>>51271927
sorry i think i was a bit unclear, it being the same string is totally fine, i just was wonderin about the number of characters. and i tried 37 just now, but its still not right...
what i dont get is that when its 40 i get 41 characters and when i put 39 i get 39....

I'm unsure have you updated bios?
and I would also choose load optimized defaults after the update if you do it
>>51268884
That it wil work on the guest software only.
>>51271992
#include <stdio.h>
#include <cstdlib>
int main()
{
int x=39;
char str1[x];
char c;
for(int i = 0; i<40; i++)
{
c = rand()%26 + 'A';
str1[i]=c;
}
puts(str1);
return 0;
}
well in that case this should work
remember that arrays, start with 0 so an array of size 39 is 0-39 which is 40
also we weren't clearing the memory so anything left over just filled the space in the array with nonsense characters
>>51272058
thanks for being so helpful man... i really appreciate it lol idk if ur partly doing it to be nice or not but its amazing that i can get help here from a fellow anon and i cant even get people irl to do so :P much love thanks thanks.
btw what u wrote for me actually didnt work, but what you said helped me a lot and i got it to work this way:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
int i;
char str1[39];
char c;
for(i = 0; i<40; i++)
{
char c = rand()%26 + 'A';
str1[i]=c;
}
str1[i]='\0';
puts(str1);
return 0;
}
thanks again!
its been a while since I've looked , whats the best torrent site that you would personally recomend

there's only a beta version of a BIOS, which is also more than a year old. I'm using the latest stable version.
I'll try the defaults since I could have messed it up.

Just get an intellimouse explorer. If you buy any of the other meme mice that people recommend or buy it based on your arbitrary needs you'll only find yourself wondering in a few months why you didn't just buy an intellimouse explorer in the first place.
So I got a G510s Logitech gaming keyboard. I've searched everywhere online to find some 3rd party apps for the lcd display. Anyone know if such apps exist?
Alright, I want to upgrade my gpu soon as my HDD read times are rather slow and I want to get something alongside a new WD Black (I'm on some older Seagate 7200 rpm but the read times bounce between 40-80mbps)
My only problem is.. I'm a bit concerned about the age of my PSU. It's a Seasonic 520w and it's coming up on it's third birthday.
I'm more or less torn between the 750ti SC (due to the low power consumption and thus lack of power connector needed) and 950
Could my PSU handle the 950? I don't play anything TOO demanding, and not above 1080p for that matter, but my current card is showing age and I'd love an upgrade.
I know AMD offers better in the price range but I get EVGA cards much cheaper than typically so I'd prefer to stick with that as my budget doesn't really allow room for anything but that new HDD I desperately need and this new GPU..
Thanks for any help, anons.

How do I use unetbootin to install linux properly?
I installed linux but it didn't remove linux and now my windows only has the c drive, the linux only has d drive. I have no idea what to do about this, I wanted to do a fresh install and it gave me the option to remove all files from hard disk so I can't figure out what the problem is.
