Ok then.

WD Caviar Blue. It's all colors: green - eco, blue - mainstream, black - enthusiast. Blue one spins at 7200 RPM, so no stupid slowdowns occur. Want to save power? Set a power profile to turn off hard disk when not in use for a certain prolonged time. Don't know about now when parts are in short supply, but thus far WD hasn't put very much people down.

Heh, well, hard disk probably is the one that will put the biggest dent in your budget. Damn those Thai floods :/

Yea, dam em.

So Blue and Black are the good ones or just the BLUES? LOL

Blue is fine for the average consumer. I think (though I could be wrong) that the only upside of the Black is that it has a longer warranty. I think it's aimed at the enterprise/server market. The performance between the two is identical I believe.

Besides Blacks still having 5 year warranty, they also have twice the cache, and 1.5 and 2 TB models. For enterprise and servers there's RE line ;)

You said your budget is low, but that's a pretty powerful machine... what exactly are you planning on doing with it?

If you are ok with over-spending to get a stellar rig, then go on, but if you're looking to save money, you could probably tone it down. You don't do video editing or 3D animation, do you?

You could definitely get by with an i5 or even an i3. If you do a lot of gaming, I'd go with an i5. If you do light gaming, an i3 will be perfectly fine. You could even overclock them a bit if you wanted to squeeze more performance out.

If your budget is tight, an i7 isn't going to gain you much for the high cost it adds.

The Specs I gave in the next build is the cash I got.

This way I won't have to worry about my hardware being OUT fast as with previous build.

Thanks astra, all of you guys, you have been great help.

That's my point want to spend to save in future, this way i save in the long run as the guys mentioned which is opposote what i'm doin in the previous build Specs.

Btw nice to know there another Israeli around.

What your point from what's in BOLD?

What your point from what's in BOLD?

I'm saying that an i7 is overkill unless you do heavy video encoding. An i5 can be had for $100 (USD) less and an i3 for $200 less. Both of which would be perfectly fine for gaming and such.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't go with the parts you picked, but this started as a convo about a budget upgrade and then flipped to a pretty high priced build.

You can save quite a bit of money while not losing much performance.

Also, if you go with a LGA 1155 motherboard instead, it will be compatible with the upcoming Ivy Bridge processors. It's probably a better path to go so that you have a nice opportunity for upgrades in the future.

Just a thought. :)

I thought that while the sockets were the same, you would still need a new board because of the new chipset?

Or at least that was the rumor I heard, did Intel say something different?

So Ivy Briges won't be compatible with LGA2011? Thought new CPUs will work on newest socket.

No issue, here another one.

Btw I want i7, I don't want to worry about CPU in the future, this will leave me addin 2 more rams + 5 HDDs + 1 more GPU if I needed them ofc, which happen since I have a very BADASS system now.

Thanks A?stra, I really appreciate your help, without it I would have made a really big mistake.

Just someone check the RAM if it's compatible with CPU and MoBo?

As far as the blue or black - unfortunately is not as clear cut as that. Some Blue are faster than some Black. This is really nitpicking for marginal difference, for instance, there are some 2-platter Caviar Blue drives that are damned fast. I guess my point is, as mentioned above, you really cant go wrong with a Blue or Black - either one is a good, fast HDD. The crazy fast Caviar Blacks (WD1002FAES) but it would be smarter to spend that money on a bigger drive, or on a faster CPU....

Yea, That's the problem with the HDDs now.

That's why I'm just buying 1TB was gonna 500GB at first cause I know with time prices gonnago down [hopefully].

Thanks, Seizure.

I picked this one >> WD1002FAES

Not bad, right?

Thanks, TEX4S.

Couldn't find that model save for one single reference with very little info, but I found this one is which nearly the same, but FAEX.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533

$140

Are the specs the same? How much did you pay?

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
