    I doubt it since my old network adapter never had any issues with a dropped connection :/.

    Tyranade got a reaction from shadowbyte in What is the best gpu to slot in this build ?   
    Honestly I would personally go with something that has 6-8GB of VRAM 2GB is very little. Even though they cost a little more I personally would get an RX580 or GTX 1060 at that price point. The RX460 with 2GB of VRAM I don't think makes much sense to me personally.

    Alright, that does sound like it'll be worth the extra bit of time to wait, and at least it should be out soon too. Thanks for the help on the matter, since I wasn't having too much luck myself looking around at stuff.

    With NUCs you need to add RAM. WiFi if you need it and Storage like an M-SATA SSD. The sound I believe only comes out through HDMI I haven't seen any with an 3.5mm Audio Input and Output on them so you would need a monitor with speakers that also has an Audio Output if you wanted to use headphones with it. Also they do not come with a Mickey Mouse Power Cable but they do come with the Power Brick so you need to buy that as well.
     
    But according to http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Intel-NUC-Haswell-SATA,22989.html the Haswell NUCs will have 3.5MM Audio Jacks.
     
    Check this out 

    He shows you how to set up your NUC and tells you what you need to add.
     
    Also you will need to add your own Operating System.

    Okay so I've just found out about the RM Series PSUs from Corsair and I am getting one when I upgrade my rig. 
     
    I was thinking about the 750w version, but I was wondering... Should I just splurge on the 1000w Version of the PSU? I know it will be completely overkill for my system (See the "Planned Upgrade" Build in my Rig) but should I do it anyway or just save some money?

    With that case you need to put the fans of the H100i on the outside, I watched the Video Linus did when he was building in that case.
     
    I just looked at the C70 as the above poster just said, and I just realized that I forgot to add, no fan grills on the window.

    Tyranade got a reaction from TheSLSAMG in USB 3.0 Front Panel Connectior   
    I have a question, Why on earth is that connector so bloody tall... The USB 2.0 isn't particularly big so why is the USB 3.0 Connector?
     
    I noticed it when I tried to plug my USB 3.0 Header into my Motherboard and because I mounted my H60 V2 at the back of my Prodigy, Trying to connect it, it didn't fit and I ended up breaking one of the pins on my USB 3.0 Header, so I just used the usb 3.0 to 2.0 adapter that came with the Prodigy as that was the only way I could connect the front panel USB ports to the Motherboard anyway.

    Tyranade got a reaction from Mr. Chairman in Mini PCI Express Wireless AC Card   
    That's a PCI-E 1x card not an Mini-PCIE WiFi card, and anyway I did some Googling on that card a few days back and it's Incompatible with the Z87 Chipset, not to mention I am using my 1 PCI-E 16x slot on my Motherboard for a graphics card so unfortunately that card isn't an option.
     
    This is a Mini-PCIE WiFi Card, It also has to be "half-height" as well. (Sorry for the huge image)

    I don't really have that much experience with mini PCIe NICs but from what I've seen, the Killer NICs (at least the desktop ones) are usually overpriced and doesn't really offer anything special. Intel has a lot of different models though and I've never had issues with Intel for networking stuff. Some wireless cards also supports things like Bluetooth which might be useful for you.
    Just remember to make sure the card is half-height before you buy it.
    Here is a card I found on Amazon which seems really good:
    Intel Centrino 6235 (22 USD) - Supports 802.11n up to 300Mbps and Bluetooth 4.0. It also support things like Intel WiDi and vPro, and it's half height as far as I can tell. It has space for 2 antennas so you don't have to worry about it not working because of that.
     
    About it not working if you only plug in 2 antennas into a card designed for 3. I am not 100% sure, but I don't really see why it wouldn't work. I mean, when you send and receive data over wireless then it's very common that not all antennas gets a clear signal. I am not confident enough to say "yes it will work" or "no it won't work" though. If it works then it will have quite a lot lower speeds though, and maybe worse signal strength as well.

    The only one I know of is the Intel Network 7260.HMWG (33.28 USD on Amazon). The problem is that I have no idea if it's good or not. It's a very low end 802.11ac implementation (compared to what the draft specs allow) and it feels like the drivers are not really super great either (for example the comment says you need to download the drivers from Sager in order to get it to work).
