The really bad: no side loading for non-EU, no Newpipe.

I wish we could still replace the batteries. They claim it’s enclosed for water resistance, but my watch is way more water resistant with a replaceable battery than any phone is. I think it’s all about forcing you to buy a new phone.

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.

I remember when a hippo ate a dwarf. They will definitely eat you if they can.

Oh Lord, stuck in ol Lodi again.

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

TEN OUT OF TEN. ARROOOOOO!

Use water? It takes 2 seconds to wash blood off of skin with plain ol water.

You don’t leave the blood from your bite victims smeared across your mouth when you take them to the emergency room?

2 sounds rad, but really expensive, hard to pull off, and might scare some potential dates away if you’re still dating.

It’s hard to go wrong with 3.

Not even close, dude! It was aliens.

What’s a Temu?

Fuckin A right, buddy!

It has always been about money for the labels, but they at least used to take risks, and find new talented bands, develop them, and promote them. But it’s riskier and takes a lot more work. An artist needs a minimum of about 10,000 hours of experience before they’re studio ready, and the whole band needs to be at that level. If they find someone new and unique at that level, they still need to develop them as performers, and get them prepared to play big gigs, tour, work together in a studio, etc… It’s much easier for them to find someone attractive who knows some dance moves, and have them perform studio written songs based on proven profitable beats.
