New PC arriving this week

bigseb said:

I joined forum way back when it was still 9 Forums, before Windows 10 wa released. I didn't really like 10 so I managed to stick with 7 up until this point. Unfortunately my PC is dying and the new one being delivered this week has 10 installed.

I should be happy about with the new PC.... but the 10 thing...

picking mine up tomorrow, hp pavilion 590-p0053w nothing fancy but alot better than
my 2003 Gateway

Think of it thisway 10 is easier to tinker with

Honestly, I would pass on the HP, if you can.

I recommend this with an SSD:

USA based support is extra. Customize it on their website.

Already paid for, but don't need top of the line, just something for General workhorse.
I am not quick enough for the Online gaming folks

OK...

What CPU? RAM? SSD? VIDEO?

How much $$$? Everyone has a budget.



P.S. HP has a lot of bloatware.

@bigseb - you will adapt to W10. Takes a bit of getting used to. That's why we are here.

@bigseb, hope you enjoy the new PC. As far as Windows 10, you will get used to it. There are some growing pains with any new OS. I wasn't too fond of 10 when it first came out. After using it for about 2 weeks I went back to my Windows 7 install. I had to think about how to do things again. It was like Windows 7 was the new OS.

If it only had an SSD...

Probably ditch the Hdd for Sdd, and add some more memory

Use the HDD as a second drive. Check with Crucial on their SSD.

Memory is OK.

Enjoy!
