i dropped my old pc about a month ago. One of the people in the comments corrextly assumed I dropped it down a buttload of stairs, which is exactly what happened LOL. I was just too stupified and embarassed to admit thats what made it bounce like a basketball and wreck everything inside it. Well almost evwrything inside it.
About two weeks later i went to a store where i bougt new parts. when i got home and assembled and it was working fine one day and the next day it took a major dump on me and everything didnt work, the workload was in the 80% and the temps were in the 95* on boot. the parts were obviously dead. I found out that the stock Cpu Fan and mount were junk and the screws were too short which caused way too much pressure when screw on properly which killed both cpu and motherboard. I returned it thinking i was just done with pc. until i got to the store where...
I bit the bullet and got used parts for a another one. E ven thoug h i should have waited for the new ryzen 3000 and Navi cards to come out very soon.
my old specs were 8gb ddr3, Intel 3000, radeon 7900, and that was assembled with preowned parts that were bought for very cheap at that time.
my new parts has a new ryzen 5 2600 and a new motherboard, with 8gb ram and a rx580 all for about $380 from haggling on craigslist.
Its a $800-900 build that might already be outdated by this summer but for that price (with the risk of getting preowned parts) i think its a good deal. And if it is outdated within the next year i can always use it as a capture card pc.
