eyeing off this screen atm. around 300bux. 27 inch IPS monitor.

 

not really a gaming one but I do a vary of gaming and photo editing too. I kinda like the white compared to everything black. a nice change. 

 

anything more gaming orientated becomes a TN panel, and ends up with 144hz.

 

I only have a gtx960 so wasting my money going anything fancier I reckon.

My boss has finally given me the go ahead to make a desktop for a new office employee  :-)

Made this one for $1200

grabbed an i5 bundle from PC Case gear.

has 16 GB of RAM which is over kill (part of the bundle) but the i5 CPU overclocks sooooo good!

I threw in my old H 100 for a laugh and come up with this.

Soooooooooo, all the desktops at work run windoze 7, boss wanted new desktop to run same which makes sense.

Microsoft in their infinite wisdom because the uptake of windoze 10 is not happening as they had planned,  decide to lock out new generation CPU's from receiving windoze updates starting with AMD's "Bristol Ridge" and Intels "Kaby Lake"

When I bought the bundle from PC Case Gear I didn't know about this 

When I found out  (reading the motherboard specks)  I was hoping for a work around.

initially everything went smoothly, 7 operating system loaded sweet, overclocked CPU to 4.9 GHz, sweet little unit humming along nicely

To my surprise windows update worked!

Downloaded and installed over 200 updates over night.

 

then today I got this when installing another 10 updates that came through

did a lot of googling today and nobody had any answers.

So I did a little bit of uninstalling of the last few updates and can't believe I have such a simple fix

I am currently downloading these updates which previously I could not get because of the lock out I had encountered.

If I am right the culprit if anyone is interested is update (KB 4012218)

 

Edit: the "learn more" button in the first pic tells you to upgrade to windoze 10
