    I would love to try out the NUC!

    I'd probably have to say the most favorite item on the list is the Kuhler 1250 because a water cooling setup seems nicer than my simple air cooling setup!

    Around 2-3 years ago, I was considering on putting together my first computer and before I did that, I was searching up reviews and such on what parts to get. Initially, I watched Linus Tech Tips for his unboxings and his thoughts on whether that particular item was a good value. They were helpful with my buying decision and today, I still have a pretty strong gaming computer that'll probably last me for quite some time (especially since the processing power growth is slowing down and it's moving towards power efficiency for the same amount of power) As time progressed, I watched almost every video he has uploaded. They're all very informative, while some are entertaining (like the super fun channel videos). They're usually quick and concise which is very helpful when I've subscribed to tens of other youtubers and also watch their videos! Although I don't post much on these forums, I watch nearly all of your videos. Including the WAN show weekly! The only ones I don't watch are products I know I won't ever be able to afford in the near future. For example, these can be overclocking videos on the new haswell i7 extreme processors, benchmarks on high end graphics card from nvidia and amd, or even computer cases that cost upwards of $200! I would love to watch them but drooling over products I'll never have is probably bad for your health My favorite series probably has to be the as fast as possible series! I always learn something new out of them, even for topics that I have some knowledge about

    There's too many videos that I liked for me to choose one to be my favorite so I'm just going to choose one from each that were helpful to me! (especially when nearly all the techquickie videos are straight to the point and I always learn something new from them!)

    To be honest, there's too many videos that are my favorite so I'm going to choose one from each channel that were helpful to me! (especially techquickie since nearly all of the videos on there are straight to the point and I always learn something new from them!)

    my favorite thing about the laptop is the powerful graphics horsepower it has!

    I really like the amazingly sharp 2560 x 1440 on a 5.5 inch screen!

    what about an A10-6800K vs an Athlon 760K + R7-240? I really don't need a lot of graphics power. Should I worry about power consumption too?
  10. darricksailo
    is the i3-4130 a lot better than the apu's on the cpu side? or just slightly better? do you have a cheaper recommendation for a graphics card?

    I said $400-500 in my opening post Is there a big difference between the A78 and A88X chipset? Because from the details page, the two motherboard seems the exact same but the A78 chipset one is ~$10 cheaper (I'm not considering the 10% off promo code because i'm not buying it right away) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130741 what kind of graphics card would you recommend with the antlon 750K/760K while keeping the budget under $500 (after tax; so before tax, it would be around $450) which graphics card do you recommend then? I was just going to get some 1600 MHz RAM with the system currently, i have the stuff planned for my build (not taking into consideration for discounts/rebates/etc): case: Rosewill Line-M: $50 PSU: Corsair CX430M: $50 HDD: Western DIgital Blue 1TB: $60 RAM: G.Skill 4GB 1600 MHz RAM: $45 Processor: AMD Athlon 760K: $90 Motherboard: MSI A88X-E35: $65 or MSI A78-E35: $57 DVD Drive: $20 Keyboard/Mouse Set: Logitech MK270: $25 that adds up to ~$400; with tax, that's around $440. which leaves only enough money for a $50 graphics card

    I'm thinking of purchasing and building a decent budget computer ($400-500) Currently, I'm in between A10-5800K/6800K and the i3-4130. I don't intend to purchase a dedicated graphics card and won't be playing intensive games on it (probably just simple games such as League of Legends and Minecraft) Is there a big gap in performance between the A10-5800K/6800K and i3-4130? Besides the point of the processor, what would be a recommendation for a cheap decent budget motherboard for the processors? I live in the US

    I saw Elric's (techoftomorrow) and Logan's (Tek Syndicate) videos about the Raptor HS30 and both of them said it's a decent headset. Looking on newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826816025), the price of $35 after tax and mail in rebate is a very attractive price point for me I know it's not as good as the more expensive ones and some of you might say it's horrible, but consider the fact that I've been using a cheap $15 no name brand headset I bought from amazon around 4 years ago and still use up to this day Do you think this headset is worth $35 (after tax, shipping, and mail in rebate) or is there a better headset for the price?

    Have you tried running memtest86+? http://www.memtest.org/

    What's the card reader used? I rarely see any 5.25" ones. They're all 3.5" and my case only has 5.25" drive bays. Thanks Did the motherboard happen to have 2 USB 3.0 19 pin header for both the card reader and case USB 3.0 ports? Or are the ports that are "dead" the case USB 3.0?

    I currently have a desktop running off of a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD for the amazing boot times and quick response on many of my most used programs on my SSD. I have a Western Digital Black 1TB for all my pictures, videos, games, installation setup files, and other documents and content. I also have a generic Western Digital 320GB hard drive dedicated to video recording my games from time to time using fraps. In addition, I have a Western Digital Passport SE 1TB external hard drive to backup my important files like pictures and videos. Recently, I've been finding that it's very inconvenient to have my backup stored on the external hard drive (as many times I want to access my files such as pictures to show friends and/or family, I'm not at home and didn't think to bring my external hard drive along). And I find that 1TB is not enough storage space to backup all the pictures and videos I have. As a result, I've been considering about building a home NAS running either at Raid 1 or Raid 10 so then I can have access to my files from anywhere as long as I'm connected to the internet and to also double up as a backup for my files! However, the price of the Western DIgital Reds have been keeping me away since they will be more than half of the cost of the NAS computer. I'm a big fan of Western Digital as you can see with the amount of WD drives I have and it would be awesome if I could implement my NAS sooner, rather than later Facebook share from Darrick Teng: https://www.facebook.com/darrick.sai.lo/posts/4758879868805 Twitter share with Twitter handle @DarrickSaiLo: https://twitter.com/DarrickSaiLo/status/377976543844130816
