A personal note to myself

Hey guys, what's up?

You guys doing good? Well that's good because the past 2 weeks I wasn't that great.

You're guessing why? Well I decided to make some changes regarding my computer.
So let's get started. Anyway I wanted to basically futureproof my computer to it's fullest so I don't have to ever have to change anything to it anymore. So what I tried to do was look on the internet and buy my dream graphics card. So I looked around on the internet and typed in; ''What's the best GTX1080''. I clicked basically on the first page on google and I found a site called Slant.co or something like that. So when I checked the page I saw that there were basically 15 GTX1080's. I didn't want to go overkill and get the best damn card there is so I decided to go for the top 5. I decided to take the one on the third position considering looking at the pro's and con's.

So eventually I bought the #3. Which is the MSI GeForce GTX1080 Gaming X 8G.
It's kinda funny because when I looked over the card that I originally planned to buy is actually the ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 it's actually the worst of them all!! I couldn't believe that. So I went for the MSI variant. So knowing how large the card would be in my old computer, it would actually fit. However since my PC is basically a special edition and also a special edition motherboard it would be very risky to buy it. However then there would be no space for the new power supply which I also later bought brand new. So I bought an Corsair RM650x with the card. Well that was actually perfect because on doing my research! These would go very snuggly together.

There is only one really big problem... I never actually touched anything inside of my computer before. The only thing I actually did know was how to add a new RAM sticks to your computer.. Which is..yeah..let's not comment this. So with my courage I had a huge card and a huge power supply. And what to do next with absolutely 0% experience. Well I was able to figure out how to open my case properly and look at the components. So I compared the size compared to my old GTX960 and it can fit on that spot but then there would be no space for the new power supply...so yeah..great. So at this point I had to wait atleast a week in order to buy new stuff because I don't want to spend all my money in one-go of course. That wouldn't make sense! Anyway I figured I need a new case for this. So I looked at some of the cases on a site called Coolblue.nl which is a really really good site I might add. So you have many different options like a Cube housing, HTPC, Miditower... at the end I was like what the fuck is the difference?!?! So I was like.. 'card is big..So I go with the largest shit you can find. So in the end I chose a Full Tower. So I bought an Corsair Obsidian 750D. The most craziest thing is that this tower had space for like 9 harddrives.. Holy shit. So in the end I bought it and got it the very next day. Well of course not knowing if the old motherboard which was specially made for this computer case or whatever. I decided to go ahead and buy a motherboard with it aswell. So I bought an ASROCK Fatal1ty Z97 Killer. It sounded raw so why not. But boy.. the trouble I had with this motherboard..

Let's talk about that.. geez. I had some serious trouble with this motherboard. I basically got everything set. Everything was still in the boxes, and ready to be installed. So the very next day that I got all the stuff I basically started to look at my old computer about where goes what and how stuff goes somewhere.. I really had to guess what there was in the end. So in the end I checked the manual of the case and I got everything right after a while I guess.. I removed the processor and so on. Which miracly took me about 20 mins.. (I suck. :D) and then I just started going on.. however then came the cableing.. Man.. I got stuck at this for like 2.5 hours.. I mean fuck off jesus.. You need to require 500 kilos of balls trying to figure that out by yourself with no help at all. It wasn't even funny and at the end I just ragequitted and left both of my cases just laying around with computer parts all over my bedroom.. It wasn't even funny. So I just decided to watch TV and just enjoy my time.. Only at some point it actually became dark outside and I was like .. Oh yeah I can actually go and play games to pass the time..but NO.. everywhere around my bedroom there were computerparts laying around. So I scratched my head thinking well i'm fucked. Well thank god I had my phone and could check what to do but of course not every video is the same motherboard so it wouldn't even matter if you'd search up those things so I was pretty much at an dilemma right here. So I kinda of strolled back to the TV.. and someone was at my door so I pretty much opened the door and met my friend Laura. I kind of told her what i'm doing and she basically was like.. Well I got a nephew if you want I can call him for you. I agreed almost by an instant!

So yeah eventually the dude came the very next day at Friday at around 20:00. So they both arrived the guy looked at my GFX card and was like.. giving me that 'YOU SERIOUS FACE'.. I decided not to comment at this and keep a straight face.. while I was like muhahaha. Anyway he checked at my old computer and inmediately started to work on it. So let's skip this a bit and in the end he got everything working but the drivers on this motherboard are just really retarded. If you basically do not have internet you can't install the drivers. When you basically first launch this motherboard it will have no internet by default.. So how are you supposed to install the drivers for it?!?! Now luckily there were options to install drivers via an USB port. But everytime it installed the LAN Driver it would just freeze up and stop working.. That shit pissed me off because I had to wait for this like 1.5 hour only finding out it wouldn't work. So the dude basically has preliminary exams so he basically studied the rest of the weekend. So I didnt have internet / pc or any kind of anything like that.. Except my phone.. Well I'll survive. Watched some shows and blabla. 


Eitherway the weekend is over and he comes back with Laura. And he's holding a CD/DVD Drive this time because if the CD drive is atleast installed the drivers I would already be very happy. Eventually we placed it in. But the computer now didn't recognize the CD Drive.. Goddamn.. this motherboard was really starting to piss me off. So I told the guy to leave again and atleast thank him for helping me out because when I look back there would be absolutely no fucking way in hell that I'd be able to do this by myself.

Anyway for some weird reason the very next day it actually did work.. So I actually installed the drivers and thank god finally I had internet. I basically done some tests with the card to see if it works perfectly and it did.. well of course to finalize testing and shit you should play some games. I was like oh man this is gonna be awesome. But nope the router did not recognize the ethernet adapter.. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! So atleast I had my internet back and I could browse some sites again and chill out but it was so stupid because for some reason I could get download speed but I wouldnt produce any upload speed... Man. So I just went with it and just played some games by myself.. However since you don't produce any upload speed and since we're in 2017 where every game needs an internet connection.. good luck trying to play games. lol. So for some reason the only game that actually did work was GTA V. But people in social club saw me as offline. So what I did was just record a video which I did and uploaded.. It's the GTA V | Stunt - Duel Time Attack video I put up on youtube. And then I started thinking after finishing it and uploading it that maybe I should just mess with the settings of my router.. And for some reason it works now. So thank god I can finally play games and finally enjoy this crazy computer... All I learned from this is to never buy a new case and never make a computer again. Once Nace told me that making a computer is like LEGO.. YEAH FUCK THAT.. OK LOL. Hahaha. Anyway I figured this would be a funny story to put up on the blog.

Kay, thanks for reading and have a good day.
