Upgrade My PC Please! Episode 2: The Potato Race

[blastadon]

Oldy McOld all the way.
That setup is close to home. I built something similar in 2009.

 

[CazedorDeLobos]

I'm all for Dom and his story about the Athlon 64. I have an old computer in the closet with that processor mounted inside!

If your HDD is dying, use what time you have left to back up anything you want backed up. One day you will go to boot it up, and it won't; data recovery at that point becomes a nightmare.

...Ask me how I know.

I only have programs on the failing drive, any important files are stored in an external hd, and a cloud storage.

 

[Robert R]

Almost all of these have old cpus! They all really need upgrades!!! Such a hard vote this week!

 

[Tom Chizek]

Good luck everyone you all need the upgrade!

 

[leventemayer]

Good luck everyone Hope somebody gets it with older components.. it's really annoying and I can understand, because I had(still have) to make it through (still rockin' an 8350)

 

[Cycloid Torus]

Steve - love the free advice about upgrading... neat what is possible for reasonable money.

 

[LanderODB]

It's really difficult to vote... they all need that upgrade...

I voted for Daniel With his 'Jedi's gaming pc', because he knows how to build a pc. I think he takes a good care of his pc, so I'm sure he will do the upgrade right. He's also stuck with a way too old processor and graphics card. I would want to see him win. success!

 

[Max Smock]

Good luck to Calvin!

 

[HalcyonDraconis]

That's a veritable potato salad...

 

[Tiki Thorsen]

PC number 2 should be excluded due to dust which wasn't cleaned since the day PC was bought. How can you give such person brand new components?? lol

You have a good point!

 

[Tiki Thorsen]

Daniel's Phenom potato should have more votes

 

[glic83]

Loving this series, fair play lads, any of these PC's could do with winning , best of luck to all entries.

 

[James Alvarado]

Best of luck to all of you

 

[fernandovilches]

Good luck for everyone!! the series is a interesting idea

 

[King Charles]

May the best potato win lol. Good luck!

 

[Gze00]

All these PCs probably need an upgrade, though the Athlon 5350 in Reggie is seriously under powered. A vote for the Mini PC!

 

[Niko846]

They all need an upgrade, but brayden is the one who deserves it this week. Hope he wins, he has my vote.

 

[Lachlan Orton]

Good luck everyone! I love this competition!!

 

[jobbus323]

Calvin needs it most.

 

[Kahl Dragonborn]

I personally think that Danial's Jedi's Gaming PC should be upgraded because every main part of the build is completley useless. The Phenom 2 can't run any game over 30 fps honestly I don't even know if it could run CS:Go at 30 fps lol. Also the DDR2 is probably faulty and past it's expiration date. Hes not able to game really and it kills me when someone can't enjoy the life of a gamer because they can't afford it.

 

[BraydenanAussie]

Also something I don't think many people know is that Lightworks is an editing software

 

[Kahl Dragonborn]

I hope that counted as the vote because I don't see a straw poll anywhere lol.

 

[TheSushikiller]

This week selections is definitely tough. Though I wish all the contestants the best of luck!

 

[methebest]

I voted for Reggie, as the 5350 is not something someone should have to do any cpu intensive tasks on.
