Alright, one weird thing - my AMD fan LED is like, the opposite colour to my Mobo LED...When ones's red, the other's green. is it possible I've just plugged the cable in the wrong way around? Does it work like that?
Also, in Aura, I can't seem to set the colour to just white, and it doesn't list the cooler at all, just the Mobo. More bothered about not being able to set it white though.

Can't wait to start ordering, got maybe 3 days left before I can start (unless my bank is nice to me).
I need to quickly because cheaper products are going out of stock.
Here's the list currently: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/izunin/saved/3mBYJx
Faster RAM (because it's £10 more).
I was told to go with the G2 PSU and not compromise by #buildhelp/
I will be using the 4TB that was the external HDD that in my Xbox One, and buy a cheaper 2.5" external to replace it.
I opted to not go for case fans post looking at reviews on YouTube. I would only add a fan from above but I may not have space. The fan I'm getting for the CPU should do the job since I'm not OCing and the GTX1080 would be blowing air right into another fan if I added one on the side, so it's best not to bother.

I took a screenshot of each monitor with a black background on. Which one has the least backlight glow out of the 4?

Hard to tell with a lit room. You can see much better at night. Also backlight bleed is different per unit not per model.

My monitor is a G-sync display using DP input, so HDMI switcher wouldn't work.
Although this does raise another question - will I need to manually switch the sound when the TV is on/off so I get TV speakers instead of desktop speakers...?
Yeah I have a steam controller which I was hoping to get use from, but I guess it's not the end of the world if I need a keyboard for the couch too. I mean theoretically I can use the steam pad to do on screen keyboard for the shortcut, or maybe use win10 action centre to switch?
Also possible, just not quite as convenient as I'd like (e.g. was hoping to not have to get up and switch things off). I guess I can just get into the habit of turning the monitor physically off whenever I leave the PC.
No I bought 3 XB271HU. That's why there is 3 pictures.

A lot of people like the Archer C7. I upgraded from the WRT54G to an Asus RT-AC66U last year. Slapped the Merlin DD-WRT custom firmware on it and it has been rock solid.

Cool, I'll check them out. Would I notice a big difference?
What is going on here? That's horrible
HarryDemeanor

I think it all depends on the type of speeds you're getting from your current internet service mostly. Current routers will give you better performance usually and support the higher speeds coming from your modem than the WRT54G.
Likely a couple months later than that, if even this year (targeted 2017).
It'll be the same crummy 10% boost in power, so don't worry about it unless you need a 8 Intel cores and don't want to spend $1000.
Are there any truely near-zero latency HDMI capture cards?
I'd like to play some PS4/X-Box on my ultrawide display in a window and keep a browser to the side, etc.
I've seen the Elgato HD60 Pro and it says near-zero latency but it actually looks quite a bit higher?
I've also tried remote play/x-box streaming (using ethernet) and its heavily compressed and also has a bit of lag.

Well, I'm in the U.S. but 650 Euro is $694, so assuming fairly similar prices:
Intel 6600k - $209
ASUS Z270G gaming mobo - $188
MSI 1060 Gaming 6G - $259
G.Skill Ripjaws V 8GB DDR4 - $53
That's $709 (664 Euro), so just 14 Euro over your budget, but you're in the new era plus you can juice the 6600k and 1060 for a bit more performance.
Quoting myself on this again if anyone can offer insight.
I'm testing a friend's GPU tomorrow but I think it's the card itself. Performance has been degrading since this morning - Furmark scores and game performance are abysmal now. Just swapped to integrated graphics for now (RIP 144hz) No obvious signs of failure on the hardware itself, but I dunno. I threw a pcie wifi card in the slot the GPU went in and it's working fine, so I don't think it's the motherboard.
I guess I'll set up an RMA in the morning (provided my friend's GPU works, otherwise it's the motherboard) and go from there. I really hope that's the issue - I bought this new motherboard on Ebay and I'd really rather not go through the return process.

Alright, thanks for the advice guys. I'll check on that upscaling thing for my future TV.
You can use a DP to HDMI adapter (I only have miniDP on my 980 and have to use adapters for everything -.-)
Yes, sound is a bit more work than the monitor unfortunately. You will have to switch manually in windows (right click on the icon in the tray etc.). It could be worse but considering that you already don't like switching the video it's probably a deal breaker for you.
Sadly EU prices are a lot higher than in the US: A 6600k starts at 224,44 EUR accourding to geizhals.de.

Which EU country do you live in? PCPartPicker allows you to pick countries.
Wait for the 1080ti.
Downsides:
Heat
Noise
Power requirement greater
Not all games support SLI, so your second card can sit idlet
If we're going by history of the mainstream lineup, would probably use a different socket. Really hard to say though, now that their cycle is different.
Thanks. They're sticking to 14nm so I figured they would but who knows. I guess I'll just have to wait and be patient.
JonnyDBrit
Member
System stability for one - SLI is not guaranteed to work as well as a single card in action. Also power consumption, I believe, will be greater than a 1080 Ti.
Lastly, 1080 Ti prices are currently jacked up because of the usual stock depletion, combined with it being the Founder's Edition. Review units are going out for custom cards, so you may end up able to get cheaper units soon.

Kaby Lake was just released in January. What's with all the people asking about a new mainstream processor from Intel so soon?
There is 0 chance imo Intel release a new mainstream processor this year. January 2018 at the earliest.
Price cuts perhaps if Ryzen 5 freaks them out, but they won't release a whole new architecture within a year of releasing KL.
Because intel announced that they would be releasing this year:
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/02/intel-coffee-lake-14nm-release-date/
and because they will be the first time that intel will release a 6 core chip with their standard line so we're all kind of excited.
Review of Intel's 1TB NVMe SSD for $355. Holy shit

Ok but kaby (desktop) was not released until 2017.
If you mean mobile chips yes they might be released 2h this year but desktop variants, I wouldn't hold my breath.
And is coffee lake going to be 6 core, or is that cannon lake? Coffee lake was also supposed to be 10nm and look how that turned out.
We need mydigitalssd to get their 1TB out. I would imagine the NAND shortage is impairing that.
Yeah, I was expecting to do a BIOS update on the motherboard, but it ended up working straight out of the box.
They're 2x 4GB sticks, but I've only stuck with 8GB for now because the RAM was on sale. I'm waiting to buy additional RAM sticks when they come on sale.

I want to sell my old RAM on eBay, I don't have any of the original packaging, would it be safe to put it in a regular plastic bag then put it inside a DVD case? That'll be put in a jiffy bag. I was thinking to pad the inside of the box with tissue so it doesn't bounce around inside it.
Can you get access to anti static bags locally?
ColdDeckEd

I wouldn't wrap it in a normal plastic bag, it should be some kind of anti static material. Have you considered selling it locally on craigslist?

made a few changes (for the better)
Found that there's a dope case with soundproofing. Had to change my CPU Cooler (it's no longer the Hyper 212 because that won't fit, but it's comparable). The soundproofing means that I should do some light OCing because now I shouldn't worry about fan speeds. The case also comes with two great case fans, so no need to get any more.
As for the 4TB, which I am salvaging from my half-broken External (the SATA to USB port would need resoldering), I will replace with a 4TB second-hand for my Xbox One. I thought about getting only a 1TB for the Xbox, but since I'm game sharing with someone who is buying everything, I may as well keep it useful.
I'm still sticking to the keyboard I already have, since I have no way to actually test if I like mechanical keyboards ~~
I will be installing Windows 10 Education that I get from University, because it has everything Enterprise has but with Cortana DISABLED
~~
I could possibly go cheaper than the WD Blue 250GB SSD, or perhaps even go with an M.2 SATA, but by this point I just want the convenience of it coming from Amazon. I should be able to order these parts starting from tomorrow, so I'm pretty damn excited.
~~
The price of the build is still about the same if you remove the fact that I have added the mouse and mouse mat into the sum... the only thing that's more expensive than what I had before is the PSU, which I am constantly told not to compromise on. I think it's worth the extra £40 here.

What's the best "Steam box" to buy gaf? Something small, cheap, powerful, console like.
Some 1060 miniITX build.
There's probably some prebuilt you can draw inspirations from

I started researching these cards. Do you know of any pre built PCs that utilize these I can take a look at?
JonnyDBrit
Member
In the sense of a custom build someone has already put together, or like, a prebuilt from a company?
Edit: Ah, found your thread specifying prebuilt and all. Gonna look around for options, though the Zotac Magnus 1060 I think is an option - needs to have RAM and storage installed though.

Ayy, speaking of which:
I'm building a Min-ITX PC With the Silverstone ML-08 case today after work!
I'm going to stream the build as well as it's for my tournament scene in town as we're finally getting hardwired internet at our Smash tournaments.
Twitch.tv/KernCountySmashBros if anyone wants to tune in during the build. Will happen around 4:30 / 5:00 PM PST until I'm done building it.
Specs:
MSI H110I LGA1151 Mini ITX Motherboard
MSI GTX 1050 Ti GPU
i5-7500 CPU
Crucial 16GB DDR4 2133 RAM
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD
HGST Travelstar 1TB 7200 RPM HDD
Silverstone SX500-LG PSU
Winows 10 Home - 64 Bit

Either. I'm checking out all the options right now. Like the post above this one is interesting me.
JonnyDBrit

Ooooh, okay. In that case, I recommend going to the front page of the thread, and then picking out a build from Haz' sheet that fits your needs. Then you can modify it and pick out particular parts to ensure it's ITX size.

OK, I just ordered a pack of anti-static bags from Amazon, they were only £1.99 so that's not bad.
You can go with a node 304 build, will allow for normal GPU, 3.5" HDDs, SSDs, large tower heatsinks. ITX motherboard.
ou can't go wrong with Creative T20 -T40s for 2.0
the ones you posted look like they perform great, they have a really good deal on as well
