I saved enough money for a desktop
Well this is it, after 6 years of using a crappy laptop ( 7- 12 grade) I saved enough money to buy a desktop. I worked as a librarian for the whole school year ^^ if anyone cares. This is my build, with everything I wanted I'm extremely happy right now http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mn4823 I just made this thread to celebrate this small victory, feel free to comment !

Well it could because the actuation point is much earlier compared to membrane, other than that it's a preference for feel because there are so many different switches to choose from.
Nothing better than getting a new computer
I'm so done with desktops now. I mean for sure, for the maximum gaming experience... but like, you only play at home? x_x I know if might not be for all the gaming needs, but lenovo workstations have not failed me when I download a new game to play.
Congrats on buying your own laptop dude!
l can't wait to buy my own desktop to work with; l've had an HP computer for 4 years now and it still works great, but with only 6 GB of RAM to work with and not the fastest processor, it's a pain to do video editing and takes a while for RAM previews in After Effects.
Does anyone know if 'gaming computers' are good for editing and such? l'm not entirely sure what makes gaming computers, gaming computers. l only know for one thing, they have lots of video memory because it needs it.

It depends what keyboard one is coming from. It's mostly preference.

how do you like cherry reds
I was just like you 3 years ago. I worked at my school's student store when I was 14 and worked at McDonalds when I was 16-18 and saved up to finally buy a monster rigged gaming PC. It costed about $3,500 and it was my baby. I ended up selling it at a lost for around $1800 to fix my car and to pay rent and have been using this average lenovo laptop to try and satisfy my gaming needs; it doesn't really help since I can only play League on this thing. I had to get a PS4 to try and keep up with the recent era of video games but I do indeed miss the PC Master Race community D:. Have fun with your gaming PC, CHERISH IT and don't be stupid like me and hit a tree with your car.

[quote=Radiqal]Slight ignorance speaking but if you're going to pay $1k+ already why not get an i7?[/quote]

i've had a 2009 HP laptop for around 5 years now. it's been good to me. that's it though. just good.
i hate this thing. can't even play minecraft without it being like 12 fps. it gets the blue screen of death. i didn't even know it was real until i had it myself.
is this a "complain about your crappy computer" thread? i feel like it is. congrats on the desktop though.

My desktop is stoopid dying sometimes-unresponsive garbage,
my laptop CPU gets to 134 deg C, mobo 85 deg C according to Speccy and heats up like crap, and my other laptop does the same. They literally need a fan pointed at them so that they spew out less heat. EVEN THOUGH MAH LAPTOPS AREN'T EVEN THAT OLD. FUDGEEEEEEeeEee HP. >.< >.< </3 I sometimes think they'll blow up any second.
.. i'm gonna have to replace them all soon. Heh.
..
Congratulations on your new Desktop, dear.
