  1. Copied from my PCPP thread, sry I'm looking at building a NAS around black friday for storing all my stuff on. This includes some semi-important projects, so you can see why I want to move away from my 3 year old Seagate drive. Budget: As cheap as possible really. Preferably under £400, but I'm willing to go over a bit. Location: England Use (Gaming, Rendering, etc): NAS Peripherals required (monitor, keyboard/mouse, etc): I have some junk ones, so no Operating System required: FreeNAS will be used. Also, can someone tell me if getting ECC RAM is worth it at this price point. I know it's recommended, but how often does normal RAM fail? Non ECC: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core Processor (£63.90 @ Eclipse Computers) Motherboard: MSI H97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£71.99 @ Ebuyer) Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£39.95 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£44.13 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£44.13 @ Amazon UK) Case: Cooler Master N300 ATX Mid Tower Case (£49.99 @ Amazon UK) Power Supply: Corsair CXM 450W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (£49.99 @ Novatech) Other: Boot Flash Drive (16GB) (£6.18) Total: £370.26 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2016-11-13 10:21 GMT+0000 ECC: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Pentium G4400 3.3GHz Dual-Core Processor (£52.15 @ BT Shop) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X150-PLUS WS ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (£93.04 @ Novatech) Memory: Kingston ValueRAM 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory (£46.23 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£44.13 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£44.13 @ Amazon UK) Case: Cooler Master N300 ATX Mid Tower Case (£49.99 @ Amazon UK) Power Supply: Corsair CXM 450W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (£49.99 @ Novatech) Total: £379.66 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2016-11-13 10:20 GMT+0000 And obviously, I will look at the best details on black friday. Also, I may consider getting 2TB drives instead (seagate or if the sales are really good, WD Red)
  2. Still more expensive than the cheapest new one I've found
  3. I would kinda like to get one for less than I paid a year ago =/
  4. I would like to add another EVGA GTX 980 to my setup for an SLI. However, I can only find ones at crazy prices like £600 on Amazon. Where can I get a new one online for a decent price (<£350)? I live in England.
  5. Figured it out. Aero was disabled for some reason
  6. First off, I own 2 monitors - a BenQ GW2765 (27" 1440p 60hz) and an Acer K242HL (24" 1080p 60hz) and an EVGA GTX 980. However, recently, I have been getting constant screen tearing on both monitors no matter what I'm doing. I could be scrolling down a reddit post, watching a video or playing a game with vsync on. I have the latest GPU drivers and have vsync set to on in the nvidia control panel global settings. What should I do?
  7. I need to be able to run my IDE and a couple games though
  8. I'll probably install a Linux distro anyway
  9. I'm looking for a laptop under £500, preferably with an SSD and a 14"+ screen. I will be using it for light gaming (TF2, Minecraft, etc.) and programming (IntelliJ Idea). What should I go for? I saw the Acer E5-575 and it looks alright. Also, anything of interest at a price point such as £400? EDIT: I will also install a Linux Distro as well
  10. Is the Nexus 7 2013 still king or is there something better?
  11. BIOS was the one reporting the 89 degrees however I will go and download core temp as ai suite has some issues sometimes.
  12. Yes Completely unplugged computer for 15 mins before booting it up Fans are spinning, lights are on and heard the fluid start moving when I turned it on CPU has sat at 32 degrees for 5 minutes in the BIOS
  13. I'll go do that now I'll reword my post, never overclocked in bios. Used AI Suite 3. CPU has been at stock for over a month now though.
