He does have disk premitions and he does have admin permitions, but something is very weird. In the event log it's throwing ot access errors. .-.

So you'd like to factory reset your pc, but u can't do it because you don't have admin rights?

go to settings > update&security > recovery > reset this PC

is it set to AHCI in the bios?
you need to format it to GPT too, not MBR

They are NF-F12s which are fairly balanced but lean more towards higher static pressure.

That's actualy a prety standard price. It doesn't seem that special. I'd say it's probably legit but i don't know.

The above are great recommendations. Check out inkscape if you're into vector drawings

Gimp is very good for photo. You can use Blender or Kdenlive for video. They're both very good

First ever LMG fan meetup? :huh:  Too bad I can't come.

Disclaimer: I live in Europe and will be purchasing the parts from Germany, hence it might be hard to compare prices but I'll do my best to find the cheapest ones.
 
I'm building a gaming, video and audio editing and producing rig/workstation. Other than that I am NOT looking for a 4k computer. If you think something could be improved please care to share.

Questions:
 
The 970 vs 390 conflict has been tackled before and I am aware the 390 is an overall better GPU, my question however is, would investing more for a 390x or 980 be worth it?
 
Are there any advantages of Win 8, I heard Win 10 is not to be touched... 
 
 
 

Mine moves and i had no issues. I'd say it's normal

I want to live in Antartica, why can't I choose that! Are you racist towards penguins or something?!
/jk
 
Europe just works. Maybe France or UK is cool.
But fine with where I live now.
 
Otherwise I would want to live in North America

Antarctica.
 
Few people, no bugs, etc.

yes

Hey Guys, I'm back with another slice of build log goodness.  This time thanks to sponsorship from HEX GEAR and E22 I'm going to be building in the all new HEX GEAR R40. I'm over the moon to have been given the opportunity and can't wait to get stuck in.    So HEX GEAR provided me with the 'Black R40 Premium Micro ATX case' and a 'R40 accent pack' (reserve in black).   E22 sent me a world of modding supply goodies which I'll post once the photos are done.    Currently all hardware is being provided by me with 99% of the stuff all bought and ready to go. These are the current planned specs. Although these may change as the build progresses.    SPECS:

  -----------------------------   The HEXGEAR R40 case.   ...   The case is shipped flat packed requiring full assembly. The parts are very well packed with each component wrapped separately and all nuts/bolts bagged and labeled. The instructions are very clear making the build process a breeze and a pleasure.   ...   The design is well engineered and once assembled it's a unit! very solid! It's packs some weight which really adds to that premium fit and finish. The Hexgear guys should be really proud of themselves, their first case on the market and it's a goody. :rock:   ...   The 'Accent Packs' are simple to swap out and they are all you need if you want to flip the orientation. The case I went with ships with white front/rear accent panels and I opted for the black reverse pack. I built the case stock, then swapped them out.    ...   The case sits on two pieces of clear acrylic which make it appear as though it's floating (in the right light). You can also get rubber feet if that's more your thing.  I'm hoping to have some lights escape the bottom of the case to amplify that look of levitation.    ... ...   I enjoyed how all the bolts are hex and it came with the tools you'll need. The instructions invite you to send in photos of your build to add to the gallery on their site, it's a nice touch. The little details really show off how much time and effort has been put into the design.    ... ...   I didn't get into the internals as I plan to touch on that as the build progresses. Plenty more photos over on the Imgur album if you want to check them out. Next update I'll show the parts E22 sent over. I don't think this will take me too long to complete. I'm busting to get my teeth into it so expect updates to come thick and fast.    Thanks for checking it out. Let me know what you think.    J.
