  1. The best CPU you can get while staying on the LGA1150 socket is the i7-4790k. But if that's too expensive for your taste you can get a i5-4690k, as I'm assuming you want to stay with a K series cpu.
  2. Have you stripped the hole or the thumb screw? You can try taking one of the thumb screws from the PCIE covers and see if that works. If you stripped the actual hole in the case then you might have to RMA it ( I don't know if corsair will honor it tho as you stripped it and not a manufacturing defect.) Or you can just leave it if the door isn't popping off.
  3. The PSU that you order should be fine depending on what cpu you have + if you have done any overclocks to it. As reference my old rig with a GTX 1080 with a i5 4690k @ 4.8ghz only pulled 400watts from the wall. But my 6800k with GTX 1080 pulls about 600watts from the wall.
  4. They are really the same board, just choose the one you like better as functionally they do the exact same thing.
  5. You underestimate how serious some people take pc aesthetics. Then again I would go nuts to if my parts are not color coordinated the same lol
  6. The stock cooler is fine, just a tower cooler would allow it to run quieter and cooler. Assuming your budget allows it.
  7. Speed doesn't matter, as there is almost no tangible impact in performance.
  8. The new skylake motherboards are only rated to 2133 ram speed and anything above that is considered an overclock, if I remember correctly. But you can easily overclock the ram up to 2400mhz in bios.
  9. That one is pretty good. EVGA's supernova series is considered "High Tier" (But I'm also that weirdo that swears by seasonic PSUs only lol)
  10. Yup, the PSU is going to fit. And seasonic is a great choice as even their "low end PSUs" are million times better then some no name brand.
  11. Those are just size standards for the PSU. Just tells you if it fits in your case, and most cases should take ATX if not all of them.
  12. Scroll down the list and look the names of the downloads. They have the word drivers in it. Download only those, restart only after you installed everything as that will save time. And also they are labeled with dates, look at the newest one.
  13. No, don't download the utilities as they are just bloatware. Just download the drivers.
  14. Speed doesn't matter for ram as it barely impact performance (you might get a couple more points in cinebench tho). I would rather you get the 2 sets of the 64 GB to take advantage of the quad channel memory. But Linus did a video on how memory affect work loads and after 64gb for the most part have diminishing returns.
  15. Ya, your going to need pretty much all the drivers on the list plus you should update your bios to the newest version if you haven't yet. For the drivers you just have to download the newest version of it. Also remove all those sound programs, they are just bloatware imo.
  16. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009769 Maybe something like this would make it better? (Same one that I have but I painted the copper bezel black)
  17. There shouldn't bet a problem, as long as the ram speed and timing are close enough it should work. Even when they are vastly different from each other it should be fine 90% of the time.
  18. You really should be using DDU to clean install the drivers, it's good practice and prevent future problems from conflicting version of the drivers.
  19. Ya, emulators are more CPU intensive then GPU (like mentioned above). It would probably be better to invest the money into getting a better CPU, my 6800k runs Dolphin pretty smooth with no hitches.
  20. It shouldn't be a bottleneck then. Try using DDU and clean install the drivers if no one suggested that yet.
