I'm at an all time low smartphone wise. I only have my oneplus and an old broken iPhone. Ive been slacking on buying phones

I have my desktop and a core 2 duo desktop running debian.

I got a late 2008 Macbook on Monday from my parents (little broke the screen, I got a mDP to HDMI and it works perfectly), and I have another old shitty laptop running ubuntu

And now I have this surface pro, but it was purchased to resell

I always hated phones and never found a use for tablets.

The most my phone does for me is help me regulate the thermostat without getting off the couch.

Well the surface is technically a laptop but can be a tablet as well.

I use my phone all the time. Im always checking TD, reddit, watching YouTube, etc on it if I'm not at my PC

ASUS VS228H-P 22-Inch Full-HD 5ms LED-Lit LCD Monitor.

Got it off Amazon on sale yesterday with a rebate, for $110 total. Seemed like a good deal and I wanted a decent monitor, anyone have it #1 best seller on Amazon for PC monitors.

I have the VS247 as my secondary monitor. Stand is crappy with no maneuverability, but I've enjoyed the monitor itself. I've had it for probably 10 months or so

My sandisk SSD that I use has been carried over since my very first PC build! That shite is impressive

The only remaining component from my last fresh build (in 2010) is my LG Blu-ray burner. Still going strong.

I have nothing but a 1TB HDD left from my original build when I got back into PC gaming a few years ago.

Oh yeah, I forgot about my WD black. In 2010 when I did a fresh build, I originally salvaged a 1TB seagate from an ASUS Essentio desktop, but it failed within a few months, and I replaced it with a WD Black.


It's been on for over 27000 hours.

Hey guys, I was hoping someone could look at this build and help me out.

ILike said in another thread that this needs some changes. Admittedly, I don't know what I'm doing.

This would be used primarily to get into PC gaming, as I'm currently a console peasant. I just need something that would run most games at decent settings.

Others that know a lot more than me will help you, but the one things I see is the PSU, personally I would get at least 650w.
