I used to run a stock cooler on a 2600k inside an aerocool xWarrior, and after that inside a define R4 (which, as far as I can tell is similar in airflow), both without issues. Sure, it could be loud, but never obnoxious, especially not inside a closed case.
 
That was sandy bridge,the 1231 has a slightly lower TDP, so it shouldn't be as loud. Besides, if it ends up being too loud for him, an aftermarket cooler isn't that hard to install.

It is a PCIe slot, so it should support GPU's PHYSICALLY.
 
Can't tell for sure whether it is actually compatible without knowing the motherboard's model/specs.
 
EDIT: googled EG31M, it's a PCIe x16 slot, probably gen 2. it should be fine.

Doesn't seem like that one has physical buttons. You'll need to change it in your bios 

If you can look past the things they've deliberately made harder in server (mainly getting software to install. You can't download files from just anywhere), and you're not afraid to do some fiddling around in settings, I don't see why it'd be a problem. People use it all the time on dual-CPU workstations too.
 
It's a lot more expensive IIRC though, not sure the premium is worth it if you're not using it as a server.

You want to use a product? Pay for the product. You can't/won't pay for the product? Don't use the product.
 
The feeling of entitlement that exists is absolutely astonishing. 

How am I getting on a high horse? I even admitted to piracy myself.
The funny part is that you seem to believe that the fact that piracy doesn't hurt sales at all. It does, but it is massively over exaggerated. Are the numbers sizeable enough to warrant spending massive amounts of money trying to stop it? HELL NO! It's like shoplifting: It isn't a big issue, so no big steps need to be taken. Law still needs to be enforced. Do I agree that current copyright laws are archaic? Yes! Do I believe game studios should release demos? yes! Do I think that lack of a demo warrants illegally downloading a game? Yeah! 
 
It's not your points that I have an issue with - it's your attitude. Piracy is theft, and it's illegal - that's the only claim I make, I don't even care about the reason why you pirate. I want people to acknowledge that what they're doing is illegal - even if it isn't technically hurting anyone. Stealing from the rich is still stealing. I've stolen games, at least I'm reasonable enough to admit it. I want people to stop trying to justify what they're doing, and try to make it look like they're fighting the system. Guess what, you just don't want to pay for your game, call it whatever you want.
 
You wouldn't have bought the game? Fine, it's still illegal though.
 
Also, I don't really see how a small-time writer's opinion makes your points more valid though.

Cor, that heated up & escalated quickly!
 
Before this thread closes, I want to clear a few things up. My background is as a web programmer way before even .net came out & traditional ASP & Interdev tools were popular. Back then (i) writing 1 piece of code to work on IE, a completely separate code to work on Netscape etc. was a thing, took ages & was annoying to test (ii) the disabling of JavaScript by network admins was a more realistic, likely scenario to consider and (iii) it wasn't uncommon to see inline styling applied to the HTML tags themselves.
 
I'm not that old yet, but I'm sounding like a dinosaur on purpose...
1. CSS has come a long way & with its support for mouse rollovers, div hiding etc. it is possible to write some pretty advanced code now. The tab option could be done in pure css but would suit pages with small content and/or few images. Page loading times can still be a concern & the less you shoot to the client's browser from your web server the better.
2. Anyone serious about web development should look at learning JavaScript. Its support has grown faster than any other language (at least that I've personally worked with). There have been multiple languages written on top of it which "transcompile" to JavaScript, many entire frameworks spawned and supported to sit on top of it & enhance it, all web servers and web development IDEs (that I know of) have support for it and there are several backend server side developments of the language (so it's not just on a user's browser or a client side language anymore). Even if you're interested in the backend code, the database and the ASP.Net language side more & have dreams to working in a massive company that has graphic designers purely writing and styling the webpages themselves, going to any web-related interview nowadays would result most likely in you not getting a job if your skillset had full knowledge of all other tech/languages/markup languages etc. but didn't have Javascript knowledge.
 
In a nutshell, webpages can be written without CSS, they can be written without Javascript also. If you're having fun playing and learning at home & this is the only web project you're ever going to try just to see what it's like, then hey no problem - have fun with it, ask when you get stuck & good luck with whatever other career you did want. If you want to look at web development even being a possible option in future to help friends or family with, get a job in etc., you should learn both. They're that important.

Look into getting a Lian Li desk case or something. Way more expensive but it looks pretty and it's actually a decent desk too.

#1 have you got everything you need.
Yes, that's pretty much the gist of it if you're familiar already with we servers and hosting webpages on/from a server.
 
As MadKnight mentions, the core architecture is the most current trend within ASP.Net area and MVC separation is very widely adopted in web development projects. Learning and implementing these 2 will take you longer to write your site and might be a little confusing, but would serve you well for future projects & furthering your knowledge.
 
#2 is mySQL compatible.
Yes again. It's perfectly fine. In ASP.Net, you alter an XML-based file named "web.config" to add details of how your website can communicate with your mySQL instance. This is done through a <connectionstrings> element & you specify all the connectivity details - usually server addresses, ports, usernames, passwords etc. in there. For samples and a little more detail on this, you might find connectionstrings.com/mySQL useful.
 
Many projects like this use some form of Object Relationship/Relational Mapping (ORM). Basically a set of code classes which expose the database tables as objects callable in code (so you can write things like myTable1.myColumn1 = "someDataHere" etc.) & make your life a little easier. You might want to look at the Microsoft Entity Framework as this might be useful to you.
 
#3. where to start.
In your situation I'd be tempted to sugguest searching online for (i) ASP.Net core and MVC beginner tutorial and (ii) ASP.Net and ADO.Net and web.config tutorials. This would get you familiar with the basics of the architecture and get you a basic, working sample of reading and writing a single value into a single database table with which to build off. Your HTML could just render with basic text only at this stage.
 
One next area could then be to look at the most wanted "use case scenarios" - the main purposes and end user workflows through the website ... basically the requirements & write those down. Once you have them, you could then work on writing tests, the styling and frontend design, database design and the coding logic together to fulfil these requirements.
 
Depending on your level & interest of the frontend design, you might want to take a look at bootstrap or see if there are any sample project templates online to help. These aren't items I've personally looked at too deeply but they might get you up & running with a styled, rich webshop quickly. Javascript will be extremely useful for you to learn if you're looking into any form of web development.
 

Last option is "Good Point" so probably the like button?

You don't have to add your phone to create a Gmail account though.
Also, I like having a single account for all those services. If you don't want to use several of these services, then don't use them. If you don't want them to collect your data, then don't make an account in the first place.
YouTube was independent for literally 1 year. The rest of its (almost) 15 year existence, it has been in the hands of Google.

I'm shore we can wave our cheap/ free backup goodbye now. Not that it'll keel me, but this is knot what I wanted when I came here to stay up to date on current events.

It's not because I use 3 numbers in my post that I take something very serious. 
Also, it's pretty hard to make out just from a short text-only post on a forum whether someone is being serious or just "joking".

If you need a card now, get it now, if you can wait, wait.
It's really that simple 

because 5.1 setups are more common?

Yush, getting a CPU and lower end GPU is boring anyway.
He has money by the time it's summer, too, so even if it bottlenecks, it won't be for that long.
Alternatively, save more money and get all awesome parts at once in summer.

Yup, though since they're led, they might not even work on lower voltages. Once they go below a certain voltage they won't turn on, unlike regular light. You can try it though, but I think the available voltages are 12-7-5 (at least they are on the R4), so they may be too low.

use a partition manager and remove that recovery partition and merge it with the C

You can just add that unallocated space to your current partition. The Recovery partition - I'm not sure what created that, but it's very big indeed (Mine is just 450MB.
To add the unallocated space, right click the main partition and choose "extend volume".
You could try shrinking the recovery partition, but I'm not 100% sure that won't cause issue, maybe someone else knows this.

I'm guessing his inet speed is 15mbps, and his link speed is 100mbits.
Just not that clear and a typo.
EDIT: ninja'd, and I was wrong, ups.

Nothing a lot of alcohol can't solve.

I don't think apple cares, people will buy it anyway.

Because you're not always allowed to? Some people here still live with their parents, others might not be allowed because they're renting. Good quality Wifi isn't so bad.
