Duplicate desktop icon appears everytime I put something on my desktop.?

It's clearly an outdated build. If someone is handing down the parts for you, then that's one thing. If you're actually paying money for these parts, you're pretty dumb.

I gave away an i5-2500k/mobo/12GB RAM and an H50 to my cousin. He just had to buy a case, psu, and a graphics card (he went with the GTX 970).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
