    Build advice

    Before I hit buy on this, I wanted to check that it all looks good. The only addition I have made is a second drive so I have one for windows and one for storage. And I added thermal paste, although IM not sure if the CPU already comes with this. Would I be better of buying one smaller m.2...

    Thanks for this. Video editing is mostly CPU intensive, but some things are gpu accelerated. Not really sure what the split is on importance. Is there any benefit to getting a second hard drive for the operating system alone?

    Best guitarist.

    To say Jimi Hendrix cant play well is laughable in my opinion. Have you actually listened to him? You would describe bold as love, or little wing as just noises is a bit far fetched.

    Is it right to claim fraud in this situation?

    You have also typed on a public forum that your friend lied to his bank about his card getting stolen. As this is quite a large amount of money, the bank will investigate this. The most likely thing they'll do first is Google the club name and "fraud" to see if there are past reports. It will...

    Hi I am looking to build a new PC which will predominantly be used for media. Are there any considerations I need to make with what graphics card I choose for playing 4k hdr content.

    Connecting PC to hifi

    But isn't toslink more suseptable to jitter than digital coaxial? It was also my understanding that digital coaxial has greater bandwidth.
