  • Is this a good pre built pc for gaming?

    So I was planning on making my own pc build, but everything added up to 1,050 dollars including the monitor, so then I saw this PC that was on sale at microcenter, here is the link:

    http://www.microcenter.com/product/439980/ProDesk_...

    Please look at the specs, and tell me if it's a good deal cause Im really curious, my pc build was similar to this one.

    So I will replace the gpu with a GTX 960 and switch the psu to a 600w, monitor (1920 x 1080p) will cost like 150, so the cost will be around 875 dollars.

    My questions are: Will this pc run all current games and MMO's on ultra at 60+ frames?

    Do you think the GTX 960 will fit in the case?

    Can I use a xbox 360 controller for it?

    Oh, and the woman said at Microcenter that I should have them take out the gpu and have them put in the GTX 960 and psu, because there's alot of security protocals you need to do like deleting files, restarting computer, blah blah blah, is that true? (Will cost me 80 bucks)

    Btw there's no other memory slots available.

    And PCI slots are limited (I think)

    (Not a great motherboard)

    (3.2 Ghz)

    For some reason they say its a business pc but whatever.

    And im not a fan of windows 8.1 so that's why Im also being cautious,

    SO please tell me if this will be a great PC to buy for gaming.

    If you have any advice for me, or suggestions or changes with the gpu or anything else, please tell me. I really need help cause its on sale for like another 3 days, thank you.

  • Is it weird/awkward to go to the Sadie's Hawkin's Dance ALONE?

    So it's my senior year, no one asked me out, (btw Im a male), but hell, im a senior, and I wanna go to this dance even without a date, (btw sadie's is where the girl asks the guys out, and some people still go without a date)

    But, I just realized none of my friends are going, which sucks, and I just heard that literally no seniors are going, besides for maybe a dozen, so now Idk what to do. Because there's only about 200 people going, and I will not know anybody. Because I am going totally alone. So do you think I should still go by myself, or will it just feel weird and awkwards cause I wont know anybody? And besides, what the hell is there to do at this dance if im all by myself, and most people have a date and are not going single? Is it still worth it?

  • How do you find the right piano instructor?

    So Im 17 and Im intrested in learning to play the piano, but I need help with finding the right piano instructor. Like, I heard you should get an instructor that has the same kind of interests as you, meaning, what kind of music youll want to play. And that each of you both like the same kind of music to play on the piano. So I really want to play soundtracks from videogames and movies on the piano, but I cant find any instructor who has an interest in that category. (Btw Im not looking into playing classical)

    So does it really matter to find an instructor who has the same kind of interests? Or can you just get one who has alot of experience? And if you can help find one who has the same interests as me, thatll be great, thanks.

    Two more kind of random questions.1. Is it better to get a private instructor, wholl come to your home? Or go to their studio and learn there?

    2. (really random question, but I know you guys LOVE answering as much Q's :)

    At what level do you think this person is playing the piano at?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miHscS-XzXE

    AND

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYVMxvm-1mA

    I really wanna play what this guy's level is at. And how long do you think it'll be to get to his level of playing? (With learning to read sheet music too)

  • At what level is this person playing the piano at? (Links in description)?

    So id like to start playing the piano now, hopefully with an instructor, but I really got motivated by this person playing the two songs (Links below). So now I want to play the piano (No experience btw). So at what level do you think the person is at, and how long will it take approximately to get to that same level of playing the piano? And playing those two songs? (I will want to read sheet music btw)

    Oh on a side note, just curious, if you have no natural talent in playing the piano, can you still learn to play like the guy in the links below?

    LINKS:

  • What are the steps in learning to play the piano?

    Im not able to get a piano instructor, so Im planning on teaching myself. I already learned which letter goes with which key, so right now I'm learning some of the major scales, cause I heard you can practice playing with both hands by doing scales, so after I do some scales, Im thinking of reading sheet music next.

    So is there anything else I should learn? And in what order should they be? (I know theres more to learn). Btw Im 17 and Im mainly intrested in just playing soundtracks for video games and movies, so im not really into classic. Lemme show you 2 links on what I would like to play, and to show you what level id like to play at:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYVMxvm-1mA

    AND

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miHscS-XzXE

    So is it realistic for me to play at the level of the two links above? (when you are teaching yourself), And yes I know I need to put in a lot of practice and time, so im up for the challenge, but how long may it take to get to the level of the links above?

    So please tell me the steps in learning piano (with learning sheet music), and about the level the piano playing is at with those links above. Thanks for the answers.

  • Question about physical changes vs chemical reactions?

    Hi guy, I need help with this assignment I have, please help me out, I wanna understand this, so f you can gimme the answer but with the reason and stuff, that would be much appreciated, thanks.

    Here is assignment question:

    As our weekly overview explains, solutions are mixtures. Dissolving one substance in another substance is a physical change.

    How do you know? Consider a solution of salt or sugar in water:

    1) There are no fixed proportions.

    2) All of the substances keep their own properties.

    3) The mixture can be separated into its parts through one or more physical changes.

    To complete this journal, explain what is meant in practical terms by each of the numbered statements above. In other words, if you had water, sugar, and a container to mix them in, how could you demonstrate each of the numbered statements?

  • Should I get GTA IV or GTA V? And why should I get that one and not the other?

    So I wanna get GTA, but I don't know which one to choose. I'm mainly looking into the multiplayer part, so which GTA will be better for that and why?

    Few Q's:

    I heard GTA V, you can die in like two shots or something, so it gets rid of the fun out of it. Is that true?

    And will it be less enjoyable with random people? Does it take the fun out of it, with people maybe just being annoying as hell or something? Or have you experienced something else with random people?

    Can you play GTA V online right away? And if yes, is it a bad idea to start playing online first?

    Also, are there cops and crooks in GTA V?

    One more thing... I also want to know which game is better OVERALL, so which one?

    Thanks.

  • Question about preordering at Gamestop?

    So I preordered the elder scrolls online physical imperial edition, and did all the information and stuff, then finished ordering, but then afterwards at the order confirmation page, it says my name with my dads credit card, (I used my dads credit card for purchase), and my father told me that his name should be with the credit card, or else it'll be denied when shipping. So is that true? Or will it still ship? Because they never asked to give me a name on the credit card information page. It just had me type in my name in the first step. (so I typed my own name). So, will it still ship, even though it says my name on his credit card?

    Thanks so much in advance.

    (Also I heard the billing address and credit card has to be identical, meaning with the name too, so I don't know about that.) Also both our last names are the same if that makes any difference.

    ANd numbers are different. (Used mine in the regular info. And my dads number is on his credit card.)

  • $1000 gaming computer budget, some questions?

    http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/

    Is this a good build for gaming?

    I would like to game with everything on ultra highest settings for current games, and for future games/MMOS (Like BF4, Guild wars 2, Elder scrolls online, DayZ, etc.) and to have it on the highest frame rate and no lag whatsoever. So would this build do for what I want?

    And would this setup be futureproof, and is everything compatible and work together? Also is there a good air flow and alot of room?

    Also could you decide a storage for me? Cause I dont know which ones are good, but can you please have it be 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Sata3 64MB Cache. I cant find one and it has to be at microcenter, but if you can find one there, that will me help me out alot.

    Sorry for many question but its my first build, so I'm pretty nervous.

    (Oh and the case isn't windowed, I dont think so at least.) And how long will it be until I'll need to upgrade anything? (Like GPU, etc.)

    And finally one more thing, GPU: NVidia -- GeForce GTX 760 or...

    AMD -- Radeon R9 270X ??

    Thanks so much in advance for answering me, cause I know I can trust you all :)

  • How do I build a very good gaming computer from 500-1000 dollars? And all on ultra highest settings?

    So I got a 1000 dollars and I would like to build my own gaming computer, but can someone please tell me all the necessary materials to build it, cause I'm not so intelligent with the components for the desktop, so that would be great. And I would like to be able to have this computer with all on the highest settings of everything and stuff, so I can hope to play Elder Scrolls Online or future games with no lag or bad graphics whatsoever. So please give me advice on anything and just stating the best materials to build my own, and also please tell me how long the computer would last with everything on ultra highest settings until i'll need new stuff for it (like a video/graphics card or something). SO thanks in advance.

    Btw do you think it would be a better deal just to buy one pre built for like a 1000 bucks? Like how much money would I really save by building my own?

    (Oh and giving me materials that I dont really need, and making it like 600-800 dollars would be nice, but a 1000 is the most I can spend, and that's even going over my budget, but thanks again)

  • Should I get the Dragonborn DLC for Skyrim?

    So, I got ten bucks to spare, since its on sale for 10, and I'm curious if it's worth it or not, because I have played Skyrim for like 350 hours and I did everything there was, but now everything I do seems boring and not as fun, so would this DLC bring me back excitement for the game? A whole new grasp on it? Or will the DLC be just the same kinds of discoveries and not really different side quests? I just wanna know if it's worth it and why or why not. Thanks in advance. Oh and how bout hearthfire dlc? It's only $2.50, Is it also worth the money? Eventhough I know it's cheap.
