I helped a friend build a computer once (i.e. I just watched and told him what to do), and there were several times he was afraid he was gonna break something. When he put the RAM in I looked and saw it wasn’t snapped in and I was like “yeah, you gonna need to bear down harder” (that sounds awful just typing ).
Most motherboards have at least a row of lights that help determine that, if one was to run into problems. Some have a digital readout.

Now GPU manufactures have prioritized the high end models to the determent of mid-range, and the second hand market costs for older high end GPUs is almost the same as new ones. That is not OK.

So far this week I have watched 20 films from 6 different decades. I watched 3 films from the teens, 2 from the 20s, 3 from the 30s, 5 from the 40s, 3 from the 50s and 4 from the 60s. Today I will watch at least a few films from the 1970s.

As you know, I just put a new rig together, with the obvious caveat that I just transferred my current 1060 6GB into the new rig, so I did not replace the graphics framework. That card still runs most games really well, especially now that my CPU bottleneck is gone.
Check in with me in a couple years, though. We will see how that card is faring then!
