Well… I didn’t think Rosanne was crazy, I thought she was just very alt-right, but now I think she’s crazy.

It doesn’t have to match, but it’ll all run at the rate of the slowest stick. I just added a note about your PSU too, so check the bottom of my comment if you didn’t see it already.

This is a bad recommendation. You’ll be dumping a lot of money into antiquated tech that can’t be upgraded further. Only upgrade things that you can take to a new high spec MOBO (hard drive, GFX card, PSU). It does make sense if you can get the components for dirt cheap, but a lot of times previous generation components are more expensive, not less, because they’re not manufactured anymore, and supply is limited.

Edit: didn’t think to mention it because it’s so obvious to me, but you said you’re new, so I’ll mention it. Before you do anything below, make sure your heatsinks on your CPU and GPU aren’t clogged with dust. Blow the case and fans out with compressed air if needed. Once that’s done then proceed with my original reply below.

First off, pull the 8GB DDR4 2400MHz Memory because it’s slowing your faster RAM down. All of the RAM in a system will run at the rate of the slowest stick. You’ll be better off with 16GB 3600 than 24GB 2400.

A better GFX card will make a huge difference. Your CPU will be a bottleneck, but still, upgrading the GFX card will make a difference. For that matter, see if you can get an i5 or i7 for your generation socket on the cheap. Don’t spend a lot of money on a CPU though, because you won’t be able to move it to a new computer because of the socket.

Some people have recommended an SSD. That’s a good idea, but if you have an extra PCIe port then I’d recommend an NVMe drive with the PCIe adaptor. It still won’t be as fast as a native NVMe, but it’s around 3-4x faster than a SATA SSD.

If your TV has gaming mode, make sure you use it. It turns off a lot of the upscaling and processing that TVs do, and optimizes it for refresh rate and response time. That alone will make your computer feel more responsive.

Order of priorities:

1. Pull RAM

2. TV gaming mode

3. NVMe drive

4. Better GPU with the idea that you’ll move it into your next computer when you rebuild.

5. Cheap i5 or better

4 and 5 are interchangeable. It’s hard to say which you should do first. I’d lean towards a GFX card if you’re rebuilding in the next year, or the CPU if you’re not.

Edit 2: if you threw that 1070 into a cheap pre-built, I’ll bet you $5 the PSU isn’t outputting enough power. If the 1070 came with the computer then it’s probably fine, but I can’t imagine a company was selling a 1070 with an i3, and if they were, avoid their computers from now on. Use a PC power requirement calculator online, and figure out if you have enough power for the parts you currently have. A system without enough power will run like shit, regardless of how good the components are.

Dun dun-dun dun-dun… DUN dun-dun-dun

Yeah

Ohhhhhh yea

It is in his nature. He is greedy. He is cheap. He is crap.

TEN OUT OF TEN. ARROOOOOO!

Thanks

What’s a Temu?

If only those people had supported mail-in ballot initiatives, and not tried to dismantle the post office…

TikTok started showing up en-mass in my video searches yesterday. Why TF would a search engine show something that doesn’t even work on a browser, requires an account, and is generally trash overall? Anyways, I immediately created a filter to block all TikTok results.

Calling trump weird worked because it’s blatantly obvious. The dude is incredibly weird. But the Democrats have been afraid to use any sort of attack strategies regardless of truth, so they’ve been taking the high road while the opposition is ripping down the low road in a muscle car.

We’re never going to come together as long as the Democrat party exudes pretentiousness and superiority. There are a lot of people on the right who don’t like where the right is going, but don’t understand half of what the left is saying, and feel insulted by the stuff they do understand. The Democrats need messaging for the working class or they will never bridge that gap.

It’s damn near impossible to gain someone’s trust and loyalty by telling them that their experiences and opinions don’t matter, and the only thing they have a right to do is listen. While it’s good advice to listen when someone who has lived something you haven’t is speaking, people are going to tune out if the speaker ends the speech with “and everything you think is bullshit and doesn’t matter, so shut up”. A lot of the Democrat’s messaging is very exclusionary, while claiming to be all about inclusion.

Everything is a conspiracy theory when they don’t understand how anything works.

Biden and The Democrats are both completely incompetent and weak, and also able to sow destruction of biblical proportions, controlling hurricanes themselves for their own selfish purposes. This has to be satire. Right?

I predict he’ll take it, distribute it to his friends who do nothing for the people, and still blame Biden anyways, which his supporters will believe.

The point is that you don’t need to think you’re special, or have some unique arrogance to think that you don’t drain people’s batteries. Younger extroverts have no awareness that there are people who get drained through human interactions.

Not everyone feels drained by talking to people. I’d say most people don’t. Some people, a lot of people actually, get energized talking with people.
