Wow... This Thread. This is all great. As I upgraded my PC about two months ago to this: Ryzen 7 5800X 32GB Corsair RGB PRO NZXT Kraken Z73 I was experiencing 1 or 2 crashes in about a 4 hour gaming period windows would freeze. The start menu would work on the first click but I then couldn't use the shut down button. Only way I could reboot was physically pulling the power. I thought it might be temps or something with Windows (It was also a clean install when I upgraded) but logged the temps and it got to about 71C whilst gaming. Then beginning of this week I stopped CAM starting up and just left it off. My PC has been crash free. After reading this I am also going to log a ticket.

Whats your budget?

So I bought a 7870 off of ebay and I can't get a display over HDMI. The graphics card is in a home theater setup plugged into a TV and I wanted to use HDMI because of audio. So when I boot the computer up it displays the BIOS splash screen and then the screen goes black and then white noise appears. The computer: Windows 10 Latest AMD driver Crimson 16.12.2 i5 3570K 8GB RAM

Wait what this is confusing what are you trying to ask?

Google ? Synthetic benchmarks CPUBoss - http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-2600K-vs-Intel-Core-i5-6600K PassMark i7-2600K - https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-2600K+%40+3.40GHz PassMark i5- 6600K - https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-6600K+%40+3.50GHz Game benchmarks Youtube if you want to trust it - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=2600k+vs+6600k Motherboard - Asus Z170 - A I believe Linus has mentioned this board in a video. Ram - You'll need DDR4 16GB is a resonable amount for gaming and editing. Get two sticks then you can upgrade later. Corsair, Kingston... You will also need a CPU cooler as the CPU doesn't come with one. Use PCpartpicker to make sure it's compatible.

Umm your first point i am also confused as to what your asking. Your second point you say a PCI adpater do you mean PCIE which is a much newer standard? Does this also mean the computer is quite old in which case you don't have USB 3.0?

I may have answered my own question I believe A is a SFF 8484 cable. Thanks for answering.

I have an ML350 G5 which uses the connector shown in image A (plugged in to the hard drive back plane) but I have no idea what connector is I think it's SFF. I am going to upgrade the raid controller to a HP p410 to use raid 5 but I also have no idea what the port on the card is in image B. Image A Image B

As slottr says use partpicker

Yeah this is a tricky one. He could get a rx 460 for about $100. but the board only supports PCIE 2.0 so I don't know if this will effect the speed of the GPU.

I use EASE US you do have to pay for it but I find it very good. File history wound me up so much because of creating libraries and why the actual F*** windows 10 do you need to include 2 backup options. I picked it up for about £30 or $36 but just google around for promo codes. I can also use it to backup memory sticks which is useful.

So my laptop hard drive for some time has been sqeaking when there is no disk activity. Which is really weird and it has got to the point where I just want to replace it for being such annoying noise. It is a seagate momentus xt 1TB with 8GB of caching. The OS and all of the programs are on a 240GB Msata SSD. I was just wondering if there is any point of getting a SSHD again or just a standard HDD as I will just be putting documents on it. I do have games on the SSHD but no like triple A titles the laptop would probably struggle with these so don't worry about gaming. When I specked the laptop I just thought I may as well get an SSHD without doing any research first. Cheers.

Ah ok thank you both for your help.

I am wanting a raid card that can support raid 5. I have heard that you need a raid card with write back cache or a battery ? It needs to support at least 6 drives. How it will be set up is two drives for the OS set up in raid 1 and 3 potentially 4 3TB drives in raid 5. Could anyone suggest one? within a budget of less than £100 P.s the search wasn't working on the LTT forum for me so I am sorry if this is another post exactly the same.

If you want giga bit speeds you should be using cat5e cabling. cat5e cables are pretty cheap make sure you get cabiling that has ends on them otherwise you will have to do that yourself.
