Wait for skylake bruh

Agreed with being best bang for buck.


Would still spend my all for a r4/r5 chassi

Why? is it expected to drop the price of other cpus?

Somewhat better performance, at least via mobo

Parts have arrived
http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/

Few things still to sort out,

1. Is cooler masters bundled thermal paste fine? or should i buy AS5.

case int he pc partpicker is wrong i have a Xigmatek soundwave,
http://www.xigmatek.com/product.php?productid=246&type=specification

2. Should i get a third case fan, or not bother unless running hot.

3. What should i look for in a wireless adapter?, I don't need one off the bat but i may want one later in case im moving the comp to somewhere less convenient to wire.

4. Lastly keyboard/ mouse suggestions, i already have a set but they are just your standard stock 20$ bundle.

Im not in a rush to get anything other than the thermal paste if someone tells me coolermasters sucks

1. the CM thermal paste is fine.
2. one fan wouldnt make a difference
3. generally, most usb adapters are the same. pci-e adapters are fine too. find a popular one on the internet.
4. you should do some research. gather what keyboards give which features. prioritize your features. mechanical switch keyboards are popular now.

Cool gonna go ahead and assemble tonight then

Might get another fan just for kicks lol, flashy led etc

K last question im using my old ssd do i need to clear it out or just change the boot orderand let windows(which i have on a flash drive) install over it?

would be best to do a fresh install of windows for a new computer

doing a fresh install regardless,

the question is, should i wipe the drive before installing the new windows copy? or can i just load it onto the SSD and let it wipe everything?


e/ the Ncix pricing issue resolved itself eventually

Okayy another issue


My msi card had a 20$ rebate, which they rejected because i didnt include the orig upc. (They emailed saying i have another chance)

But doing that would void my return policy with new egg.

Can i still use the manufacturers warranty.

Should i do it? Have not been able to test the card yet.
