Building a computer

[lostsoul62]

I have an Intel E6550 Dual core with 4 Gigs of 6400 RAM runing Windows 7 (64 bit) and a 1 terabyte Seagate Hard Drive, and it is slow for dealing with 15,000 pictures in one file because I'm trying to get rid of the duplacates and it's also taking close to 100% of my CPU output when I'm video calling and on magic jack at the same time. I would like to build another computer that would be much faster without putting me in the poor house. On each of the i series they have different speeds. I would like to have a motherboard that would support USB3, SATA 3 (6 gigs), and PC 2000. I don't need a hard drive, keyboard, mouse, or monitor and I'm looking to spend about $700. Any suggestions?

You have a good system there. Like Ken said, we can try to fix it to make it faster, because it could be a windows issue, or maybe a hard drive situation

crap computer

This computer fades programs out say it's not reponding. Some programs won't even work like ADCsee photo manager when I try and find duplacates for a couple of thousand pictures. Explorer fades out and the Quest Internet fades in and out. Maybe I need a third party program to see what is wrong and suppose to fix these problems. I keep it cleaned up but it's just screwed up. I was even thinking about re-loading the window 7 OS but maybe a third party fix it program might work?

You might need to reinstall windows, but first, I think you should download CCleaner and see if that fixes anything.

That PC is not that bad... why don't you try cleaning it first? most of the times, slowdowns are caused by a lot of temp files spread around your HDD, sometimes, programs that you no longer use and take HDD space... or even no defagmentation of your HDD...

Try to clean up your PC and Defragment, that may improve speed.

See ya!!
