    I forgot to run my "I'm not doing anything maybe I will randomly catch something PandA's" until OW dinged. Which we all know, by then it is too late. :(

    More turking and average everyday use 8gb is more than enough and you could pretty easily get by with 4gb or a cheaper brand than corsair vengeance. I agree than a standard HDD is a cheaper option. I love my SSD but mostly for launching big system intensive software like games. I use a SSD on my home computer and HDD on my work computer. As far as turking goes I notice zero difference on either. I mean all of those are great parts but if you genuinely just need it for basics you could do a lot with a little less.

    That Aspire might be the overall winner. I'm not planning on gaming as much as I may like to, so it should cut it.

    Hell anything that doesn't freeze or blue screen daily is better....

    If you expect to run any games you will want a graphics card. The integrated one is trash. I may be missing it but I don't see the mobo listed either?

    Did they fix this one? It wouldn't accept my answer for the very first question a few days ago.

    intel's onboard video is actually half decent these days for anything that isn't gaming

    Yeah for super budget prebuilts win unless you start buying used parts.. But I can't suggest that sort of thing because you aren't building the pc yourself

    @E.Illness got you covered :) https://turkerhub.com/posts/24408/

    Spent the slow day getting the hang of PC, at long last. An incredibly obnoxious alert sound just now (have to remember to change those), and presto! 4 Robins. :ay:

    My sound for anything over $1.00, which is typically only Robins unless I'm chasing a high pay survey, is homer simpson saying "WooHoo". Much better than the default awfulness of PC alerts lol.

    If you wait to start the pandas when OW dings it is already too late. You have to have the pandas already going. The con to having them always running is it slows how often each panda runs. The more pandas you run the less often they search. The less pandas you run the more often they can search.
