You can easily spend 3500+ to get a really good one but next month it will be outdated

This is true but I have found $2000 to be a good amount to spend for some gaming grunt that will last 2-3 years and play all now games. My last $1000 computer struggled after 12-18 months to play new games on max settings.

Then you have basement nerds that all there system is like 1000 and could out performs its by leaps and bounds

You mean people with days and days of time to spend clocking every component.

Not the systems I build, My job used to be the design and supply of systems to Chrome studio's and Creative Assembly before I took the job I have now. I still build a few rigs for the lads that work there every couple of years.

For starters it doesn't give any specs about the motherboard.

Mike did you even read the link????

Motherboard ASUS Socket 1150 Motherboard with Intel Chipset

All-round protection provides the best quality, reliability, and durability

ASUS motherboards guard your PC with 5X Protection. We use quality components like DIGI+ VRM digital power design for precise CPU power on demand, ESD units tested to strict standards that eliminate electrostatic interference, and resettable fuses around DRAM slots to prevent overcurrent and short-circuit damage. We also use corrosion-resistant back I/O shields, all examples of ASUS providing the best possible reliability and durability.

I did Ants, there are about 15 ASUS 1150 socket boards so which one is it?

EDIT: Just checked ASUS' webpage, they have 28 Socket 1150 boards available.

What games do you wanna play and what type of movie? If you want tht and only occasionally gaming 1000 will be enough

I dont have time to play 24/7. But I have a few games I want to play and my current POS PC is certainly not up to it.

Games - have a file size of 1.5gb

Movies - I obtain via the internet - file size anything between 2.5gb and 12gb (depending on availability and quality)

Playing movies required very little power just a lot of storage. Storage is very cheap again so it's not a worry.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
