Hi,
As I've recently posted, I've got an issue with my motherboard (and to be honest I think I've always been unimpressed by it). The spec for what I've got is included below. I am very happy with the CPU; it overclocks easily to a good speed.
What I use the computer for: playing games occasionally (dota, skyrim for example); storing, manipulating and serving large amounts of photos and video; general browsing.
I would like to add additional storage to my system. The current motherboard having only 4xSATA has been a frustrating limitation.
CPU: Intel Core i5-7600K 3.8GHz (Kaby Lake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - OEM
Cooler: Raijintek EreBoss High Performance CPU Cooler Black
MOBO: Asus Prime Z270-K Intel Z270 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard
Memory: Ballistix Sport LT 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C16 2400MHz Quad Channel Kit - Black/Grey (BLS4C4G4D24
PSU: Super Flower Platinum King 450W 80 Plus Platinum Power Supply - Black
GPU: Sapphire PCI Express R7 260X 2GB Graphics Card (OC GDDR5, HDMI, DVI, DP, 2S)
Storage: 2 x SSD, 2 x HDD - would like to consolidate some HDDs into system, ideally going up to 6 x HDD.
Case: antec Three Hundred. It feels a bit tight in there to be honest.
I can manage with what I've got, using just one stick of memory and having the HDDs in external enclosures, but it feels a bit limited and clunky.
Welcome some cost effective options for improvements.
