I was looking at something like a Intel NUC, does anyone have any experience with those?

Hopefully someone can help me out here. I live in the USA and at the moment for TV I use the following mess of a setup: 1. Main PC which runs Plex server (TV libary is stored on old PC) 2. 2nd old PC which I use as storage for TV shows etc 3. 65" 4K TV with a Roku 2 connected to it...

Sorry to bump this but I have a few more questions. So at the moment I am playing at 1080p and from what it sounds the r9 280x would be perfect for me. It looks like in the USA they are currently charging over $100 the retail value. They used to be sold for $325 and now they are sitting at...

Not sure the wife would appreciate me flying back to the UK to pick up a graphics card, so that's a no on that :) Is there any chance of the 280x/290s coming back down in price, or is this whole bit/litecoin thing going to last a lot longer? If not a 280x/290 what lese would be worth...

I have my new system up and running and now I just need to get a new graphics card. My old system has a Radeon 6850 2GB so whatever I get needs to be a upgrade from that. My new system supports crossfire/sli and I have a good 850 PSU to support it but at the moment I am trying to decide what...

Fixed my issue by downloading the intel onboard graphics driver, apparently it includes a audio high def driver also. The asus one on their site didn't.

OK i'm back again, I now have the system up and running in the case and everything seems to be looking good. I don't know what counts as good or standard temps but the 17-4770k is at 23.c and the case temp is 25.c I do however have a problem, in the device manager the 'High Definition Audio...

So I finally built myself a new PC, and was hoping that you guys could give me some advice as to what to install now that it's up and running. It's a 4770K with Asus Z87-Pro motherboard. The only thing I have done is install Windows 8.1 without a internet connection. The CD that came with...

Well I just ordered the 'Phanteks PH-TC14PE_BK 140mm UFB (Updraft Floating) along with the asus board. Hopefully I won't have any issues :)

Almost done buying the parts for a brand new system, I have the 4770k, Corsair 750D, Corsair 850W modular PSU. I am ordering the motherboard today and want to get the heatsink also. The motherboard I have chosen is the Asus Z87 PRO. I have no idea what heatsink to go with, I am not opposed...

So I am looking at both of these boards (Gigabyte Z87X OC) and the (Z87-Pro), I want something that is as simple as possible to overclock and use. Does anyone know anything more about the 'one touch', 'auto' overclocking ability? I have to admit at the moment I am also leaning towards the Asus...

I am close to putting the finishing touches to my new system with only the motherboard, memory, heatsink left to buy. I will be using a 4770k but I am really struggling when it comes to the motherboard. I was all set on getting a Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z87 but I don't know after reading these...

I've decided to wait on the 750D. At the moment it is out of stock everywhere. It's annoying as I wanted to have the new PC built for Christmas, but the case looks great and worth the wait. I have decided on the CORSAIR RM Series RM850 850W, I love the idea of a fully modular PSU.

Bumping this thread because I can't seem to find this case anywhere in stock in the USA from the usual online retailers. Are there any other recommendations along the same lines as the 750D. I was thinking maybe the coolermaster Storm Stryker, but there was another CM case I saw awhile ago...

Quickly want to say thanks for the advice. At the moment I have the following parts picked out: Corsair Obsidian 750D (Case) Corsair RM Series RM 850 '80+ Gold' 850W Power Supply Intel 4770k CPU Gigabyte Z87X-D3H Intel Z87 or Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z87 Intel Z87 Is there any difference between...

I am planning on building a new system within the next month. I have been posting to these forums getting some advice on parts etc and now I arrive at the motherboard. Here is what I need from the motherboard: 1. Support a i7-4770k 2. USB 3.0 support and a decent on-board networking...

I have no idea what kind of power I need with dual GPU's. I just read a bunch of reviews of some highend corsair PSUs and they mention the noise or coil whine? More than likely I will be getting two radeons r9 280s or something along those lines. I am looking to get one GPU at first then in a...

Thanks for the feedback, I haven't decided on GPUs yet. I was going to try and get the case and PSU first and then start looking for the main components. The corsair 750 looks ideal for what I am after, I think I will go with that. Hopefully I can find it somewhere on BLack Friday.

So I am building a new system before christmas. It is black friday in the USA this Thursday which means black friday and lots of deals to be had. I thought I would get a case and PSU as that is something that rarely fluctuates in price and won't lose performance/value etc. I have some...

Thank you all for the feedback, I think I will just drop the extra cash on the i7. Black friday in the USA is coming up soon as well as cyber monday so hopefully I can pick it up a little cheaper than normal. I want to also ask for mobos recommendations but I will jump across to the...
