technically you wouldn't need your CD player once you have a Sonos connected. That'll save on inputs. Did you say you have a turntable? I don't think that could connect to the Sonos Amp anyway.

the reason they don't do is to minimise support issues I reckon. Sonos is meant to be plug and play and wife friendly. There is no why they could guarantee maintaining music sync with the all various PC hardware options/driver issues out there. Anyway I just use mediamonkey on my pc using the...

Thanks Daniel I'll keep an eye out. Hope the deal isn't the £349.99 it's now listed on the store site for! It's in stock cheaper elsewhere!

I'm looking at a 29" 21:9 monitor and notice OCUK don't carry the 29UC97. Now that Daniel has promised better QC this has gone to the top of my list. Will LG and OCUK be announcing a deal on that monitor?

yes it is, you should delete those references.

retail has a 3 year warranty, OEM 1 year.

hah I made the mistake of not realising 'retail' didn't include a heatsink anymore! So I had to wait a few days when I first got mine and had to separately order a cooler.

I'm stable at 4400mhz just using AISuite 5 way optimization on 2400mhz Corsair DDR4. Cant' imagine properly fiddling with volts and memory timings couldn't get me higher :)

This.. I cant believe how ridiculously negative people all over the internet are being. Of course there's no point upgrading from Haswell. There rarely has recently (last 7-8 years) been a compelling performance reason to upgrade from one generation to the next. Everyone is comparing i7...

So Kids monitor broke, using spare lcd tv over HDMI, not great picture. Thinking of giving them my Dell Ultrasharp 2412. However I'm quite taken by the idea of a curved screen in Elite, but also want IPS panel, Freesync, 144hz etc. No such 29" monitor seems to exist. Does anyone know if...

As the OP has already spent his money and is very happy, shall we stop arguing about whether its worth him buying a Qxxxx chip now?

I know what you're saying. In this case my reasoning is that current LGA1150 motherboard platforms and DDR3 will be replaced by Skylake and DDR3 or DDR4. Skylake is a tock in Intel's tick-tock strategy, so is a new micro-architecture, so after that there is a die-shrink which means the LGA1151...

Err you're a bit late. See post 41

I'm pleased it worked for you. SSD, then GPU then new CPU/mono/ ram.

ha, you beat me to it. I agree the CPU isn't the issue in that system. Overclock it to 3.6ghz and add a decent GPU and it be fine in games. Add an SSD and it'll boot fast. audio/video encoding would benefit most from a cpu/motherboard upgrade.

My 2p I'm waiting for Skylake. My system is same generation as yours (same mobo family) but with a better CPU (Q9550 @ 3.6ghz) and GPU (3Gb 7950) than you, but runs Skyrim, Elite Dangerous, Arena Commander, Rome II very well at 1900x1200. My kids system (my cast offs) is a C2D8400 and a 5850...

if you're looking to future games such a Sims 4 and the Everquest, definitely get an i5

they can be skimmed over with plaster!

I think that's Ok for rears, how about these for fronts? http://www.amina.co.uk/products/

hmm I remember=ber my two year old colouring in my tv screen with black crayon and covering a video tape with mud before 'posting it' into the player! So...
