I don't back up....Because Veeam does it automatically to my NAS. Incrementally weekly and full monthly.
Then the NAS backs up to another NAS:D

I'm not losing any data:p:p

I don't back up either but so far there's been n
 
£30 extra for an SSD! lol, is it an ancient one? Get a new, Samsung SSD!! £30 for an SSD is utterly ridiculous. Its bound to be either a rip off, or a very old drive etc.
 
Looking to go back to a AMD system, if their new Ryzen cpu is any good & cheaper,they haven't had a great cpu since their Operton cpu days.
Intel cpus are over price,but they had no competition in the past, hopefully the new AMD cpu's will change that.

Unfortunately, with AMD's R&D spending being at a 10 year low, I doubt we will get anything ground breaking:(.

Although the Ryzen cpu's have seen a push to ITX boards:).

It's the CES in Las Vegas this week, AMD is back with a bang, I'm waiting to see what new cpu's & graphic cards AMD annouce today, I'm running six year old AMD graphic cards.:(
Their RX480 range last year were very good, but they got something even better coming out this month, need a good card to run my dual 27" monitors.
Going to be a lot poorer after this month.

Me too, I had an Athlon XP machine for years.
Intel is focused on the Mobile market now too, seems like the whole industry has lost is 'spark':(.

Even AMD's graphics division is being crushed by Nvidia:(.

Using onboard GPU myself and it plays some games very well but then again i am not an avid gamer these days.

JC3 plays well on my pc even though the GPU is not dedicated.

No, AMD made a very clever move with their new graphic cards last year, they release them for the mainstream market first,the lower price end first, NOT the high price end gaming market like Nvidia have & still do.
AMD has just released their 'FreeSync 2' which makes game play more fulid, plus they are supporting HDMI v2.1 for higher resolutions.

I had a HD 6900 in this system until earlier this year, when I put a GTX 980 in it:D, albeit excessive for two 24" monitors...
The older card now runs in my downstairs computer.

Didn't think of it that way, seems like there is a plan there:).

What cpu?

Some onboard GPU's are incredible today.
And, JC3 is a very fun game!

Not everyone has a grand for a high end Nvidia card, hence why AMD went for performance at a cheaper price,& target the lower end first, because they knew they would sell, you could buy two AMD cards for £500 & get the Nvidia performance at half the price.
And Nvidia had nothing to touch it performance,or price wise, & Nvidia is now playing catch up now.:)

Dual 27" monitors?!

You must be compensating for something... :rolleyes:

Yes, not having three:p:p

Presently using dual 27" monitors, present graphic can only just cope, will be adding the spare 24" monitor I have, when we get a new graphic card in next few weeks.:)

Wouldn't mind replacing the lot with one 31.5" or 34" ultra wide monitor (21:9), would give me a bit more room here on the desk.
