I heard in Bic cameras they sell Xbox, it's American and can do gaming. And cheaper than a computer!

I got an Alienware laptop from Dell Japan a bit over 5 years back. They had the best customization options overall, and weren't excessively over priced.
Alternatively, Mouse Computer has built-to-order laptops, and were on par with DELL overall, but didn't have an English keyboard at the time, so I went with DELL because the moji key placement enrages me. I don't know if Mouse is still good, I haven't looked at them in ages. I bought a used one from SofMap like 10 years ago and it was pretty decent anyway.
But really, just order one from Ebay and have it shipped. I got an Asus ROG Strix for a friend early last year, and the laptop + shipping + exchange rates + tax was still cheaper than getting the equivalent in Japan. Probably even more now because the exchange rate is even better when you're buying in USD. Probably comes faster, too. I had to wait like 2 months for my Dell before.
Good day all. I know this is a pinch old but it seemed better to write here than start a whole new thread.
I just recently got a new mechanical keyboard from a member here (Thank you again sir) but I know that my PC needs to be upgraded. I just added a Radeon RX-560 from TSUKUMO but it was used and I am smart enough to at least figure out to install that. That's my limit on PC upgrades. I know I need an upgraded motherboard but my knowledge is a pinch less than zero. I could go back to them and ask for their advice but sales people tend to try and get rid of what they a lot of in stock. I am ok with used. Anyone with knowledge about this kinda stuff and cares to add some input I'd be eternally grateful. I'm just looking to be able to play RDR2 which at the moment I don't believe I can do as many newer games need a better MB.

As I mentioned above, I did add the Rx-560 4G
Thanks
I'm lost. Yes, the Radeon works fine. I just need something newer/faster but I'm a sucker for cosmetics. I live how the PC is set up with it's lighting and look. I have 8 gigs or RAM. Need more?Do you really need a motherboard upgrade? In general, You don’t need to upgrade your motherboard as long as it allows you to upgrade your CPU, GPU, RAM reasonably. That is if you are going to upgrade your CPU and RAM since you already have a new GPU and I assume it’s working on that motherboard?
For higher FPS, majority of your investment should be in GPU and CPU. I’d say you should’ve put a little bit more into your GPU it looks like you’ll get about 40FPS.
For some strange reason, I was to keep the tower casing. I need to be able to transfer my 2 'hd's stuff. I'm lost on PC language and what I should/do not do so that's why I'm asking. I'd "love" to keep the tower/case as I'm comfortable with it. I just wanna make it faster/more memory so netflix movies look getter, games work fine for at least a year down the road. I don't need to mention watching porn do I?Your CPU seems to be back from when dinosaurs where still patrolling earth, so it's entirely possible that you need a new motherboard to plug in a new CPU, but in that case you would first need to decide on which CPU you need to choose a motherboard.
I'm not an AMD user, but your CPU seems to you the FM1 socket, which was introduced in 2011. There are probably no motherboards supporting that after 2014 or 2015.
Another thing to take into account is that when exchanging the motherboard you need to completely reassemble your pc, which includes reinstalling your CPU cooler, which can be a bit tricky as well.
If you don't mind used stuff, you may just look for a used 2 or 3 year old gaming pc. You will end up with a CPU probably at least 5 times faster and it shouldn't cost too much.
Cases are built to basic standards which hasn't been changed in years. Basically a full ATX tower, Mid, etc.I'd "love" to keep the tower/case as I'm comfortable with it.

I want better clarity for Netflix and other streaming devices too. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.....How about buying PS4 , second hand if you just want to play RDR2? Once you are done you can sell it back. Might be a cheaper option than upgrading your PC.

ITX, Micro-ATX? Or?So anyone know any small sized case that would fit min. 4 pcs of 3.5" harddisks?
Just the cooling fan was new. He said everything was used but not abused. I found another customer by accident and he said this guy is fair/honest. (I met him) He lives in a high rise and he just brought the machine down to me when I arrived to pick it up. He said I can take it home and play with it......I had a couple of problems (my problems) and he walked me through it and he said after a couple of days to send him the money (I didn't pay him for the parts/labor until I got home and was satisfied!!!!!!!!)Just for the sake of accounting...
CPU: $140-$160
Cooler: ~$20
MB: ~$250
RAM: ~$45
GPU: ~$350
Total ~$810
Windows 10 Home is usually $139 (Pro: $199)
Office - It varies depending if you get the Office 366 Plan (~$99/year) or just buy a flat license (~$300)
Were all of those parts new?
I can't help you there. I've got a big Zalmon box.Actually had that same MB in my hands just last week. It was just 14.000 with tax in at Tsukumo.
Though what I was actually looking was a case for my NAS. The specially made small one I have been using blew its' power the second time and I think it's time to replace rather than repair anymore.
So anyone know any small sized case that would fit min. 4 pcs of 3.5" harddisks?
I've built a mini-NAS in this case: (ITX)

Gotcha. So long as he was upfront with the source of the parts, etc. then that's fine.Just the cooling fan was new. He said everything was used but not abused. I found another customer by accident and he said this guy is fair/honest. (I met him) He lives in a high rise and he just brought the machine down to me when I arrived to pick it up.
