I have been misery about this for years. I always had some near top of the line machine for work, so i said meh, i'll get to it. I was extended for a work from home (thank God) until July 2021. I have been limping along on my old i3 (4th gen) laptop for about 8 months. With another 8 months ahead I said, ok fine, I'll build something.
AMD 3rd Gen Ryzen 7 3700x
Corsair 16GB (8GBx2) 3.0 GHz RAM
ASUS Tuf Gaming 570x motherboard
750W PS
Viper - X Radeon R9 200 video card 2GB (used ~180 bucks)
2 LG 24inch'ers
and 512 solidstate.
Feels good to enter a new era. I really REALLLY needed to do this.
So I didn't want to use the video card and spent a couple hours trouble shooting my Q-LED codes. Kept getting stuck on VGA. Well, i was stupid and forgot to check if the CPU even had support for internal graphics. Spoiler alert, it didn't. Kids, double check your build and don't be like me and waste time on silly stuff like "Why wont my video turn on" when your CPU doesn't even support video....
