Where is my audio/video connection?
Feeling like a giant doofus right now. This tower is missing an hdmi/dpi port right? Are the two ports on the bottom my only choice for V/A?

What do you do with old parts?
I'm still holding on to the shell of my first build and wondering what to do with it? I doubt much of it is useful today, but does anyone have any recommendations? Is this ripe for Buy Nothing, FB marketplace, the trash?
What's in the case following:
- PSU: CORSAIR CX-M series CX600M 600W 80 PLUS BRONZE
- CPU: Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz
- GPU: PowerColor PCS+ Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5
- RAM: Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600
- DVD Rewriter: LG 24X DVD Burner - Bare Drive Black SATA Model GH24NS95
Not sure the case, but it's a good mid-size tower.

My Ryzen 7 5700G desktop has 16GB RAM and no dedicated GPU. For someone mostly using Chrome, VS Code and Photoshop, would adding a graphics card make any noticeable difference?

Why does my internet drop from 500Mbps to 100Mbps and back?
I recently did an Ookla test, and my internet speed was only 100Mbps. I hadn't tested in a long time, and figured it might be my cable. It's back up to 500Mbps again. This has happened a couple of times the past few weeks. I've run Spybot and Malwarebytes and haven't found anything. When I do a speedtest on modem and router, both show 500Mbps while desktop is at 100Mbps. How would I go about troubleshooting this?

Lost in a sea of suggestions!
New developer here - I’ve been looking to upgrade an old laptop (4GB VRAM, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD) and will be moving to a desktop setup and remoting in with the old laptop using Sunlight/Moonlight. I’ll mainly be working with small product specific toy LLMs for engineering drafts and 3d modeling/rendering. There will also be some LLM training as I go for additional task specific models. I’ve been reading reviews and reddit posts regarding a minimum setup required for my work and I had settled on a 5070ti, 16GB VRAM, 32GB RAM (2 - 16 sticks) with a 2TB SSD to start with (can upgrade as I grow). However, I’m in a few groups where they’ve commented on other posts that a setup like this is no longer adequate for such work because of the possibility of needing to run a larger LLM for reference. If I’m sticking to LLM models less than 10M, shouldn’t this setup work fine? They all seem to think a $10k+ rig with a 5090, 32 VRAM and + 96 RAM is required which is absolutely not possible. Please tell me I’m not crazy…

Help with Thermal Paste
Hi! I'm trying to replace thermal paste for the first time in my HP Spectre x360 laptop (circa 2019) but it's already looking very different from videos online. All I've done is open it and unplug the battery.
I was expecting my CPU to be between the fans but didn't expect the copper plate to be single use (it says replace with spare and I believe it after trying to lift the corner). However, just to the left of the left fan, I can see a little silver box under a plastic plate that looks like it says Intel.
Should I apply my paste (Arctic MX-4) on the Intel chip on the left or do I need to order the copper plate and come back to this another day?
TYIA, this is a learning experience
