Sure, thanks..! Thanks for all the help everyone !

Should i ask my local PC store that i want a PC with an used CPU alone and brand new other components? Or is it something that is available as a ready made / pre assembled branded kit itself? Not only for portability, but even performance wise.. i believe the laptop will be better? There is...

Just to clarify , mine is a Phenom II cpu and not Athlon.. Let me try enquiring for used PC’s.. Like you said, i would be lucky to get a second hand pc as above with UPS (hoping it has a good functional battery !) .. One other main concern is the hard disk.. not sure if I can expect a SSD as...

That’s a good suggestion but i unfortunately don’t have access to a spare PSU + the cpu cooler needs to be fixed with reapplication of thermal paste which makes me nervous to handle it by myself.. As you pointed out, driver unavailability / OS compatibility scares me now as i plan to use few...

I intend to give life to my old PC to put it to proper use on daily productivity tasks since the office laptop has many restrictions as you know in terms of installing applications, browsing, multimedia and even connecting external devices.. Hence the intention to install quality components to...

How about if i don’t use a GPU for the secondary PC and run it with the onboard graphics itself ? On a lighter note, with all these uncertainties & complications in giving life to my old PC (where the budget comes to 14k with an UPS and 20k+ with a SSD).. its makes me think that a budget laptop...

Almost forgot another device that might be needled for this pc to run.. an UPS ! My primary desktop is already connected to an APC BX 1100C - IN 660W UPS.. Config as below : Ryzen 5 5600 MSI B550M PRO VDH WIFI ASUS RX6600 8GB 1 TB SSD + 500 GB HDD Corsair GS 600 PSU (Monitor not connected to...

Thank you for the clarity.. Though my Bluetooth devices will be placed/used nearby the pc.. the wifi router is a bit away from the desk.. so i guess a pcie card with an antenna will be a better choice.. Will try to procure this one...

There is a story behind me searching for a robust BT solution.. My 2 year old PC with inbuilt Wifi and BT on the mobo (MSI B550M Pro VDH WIFI) struggled sooo much with connecting to my earphones and maintaining a stable connection.. I literally had to suffer a lot from the connection being...

Got it ! Just one more stumbling block before I assemble this PC.. Looks like there are no Win 10 drivers for my mobo on Asus website :-( Same way, there are no Win 8.1 drivers for the tp link Pcie card on their website :-( 3.5k will be a costly mistake for me to realize that the card is not...

Do you mean i could install the GPU in the grey slot as an alternative.. Will that cause any slowness in the GPU or bottleneck its capacity? Sorry I’m not too techy to understand the ‘lanes’ concept.. And i plan to install Win 10 only..

Sure.. I will take a look at the RPM & cache size of both the HDD's and take a call.. You were correct.. My mobo does not have a front USB 3.0 connector on it.. Thank you for pointing that out! I'm definitely going to need that adapter.. With regards to the Wifi & Bluetooth connectivity, I...

Thanks for the PSU and cabby recommendation ! Looking at the price of the SSD, guess i will have to make use of my old 500 GB 2.5 inch sata laptop HDD which is currently in an enclosure being used as an external storage.. I also have a 250 GB 3.5 inch sata desktop HDD.. Though i prefer the 2.5...

Hi.. I’m trying to make use of few components from my very old pc to build a basic general usage desktop.. Existing components CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE MOBO - Asus M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 ATX GPU - MSI Cyclone R6850 1GB RAM - 8 GB Existing Keyboard & Mouse Can i get economical but decent...

The Acer would have been a very good choice but since I wasn't sure if the old stand could be used on it.. settled with the Benq2490T..
