    So I can connect both drives to the motherboard at once and just use the samsung software?

    Good advice. Thank you.

    I have a MSI Z170 M5 motherboard with a Samsung 850 EVO 2.5" SSD being used as the main drive. I am trying to replace it with a Samsung 960 EVO m.2 SSD. What is the easiest, fastest way to transfer everything to the m.2 so that I can use it as my main drive and give the 850 EVO to a friend. Specifically, can I just install the m.2 and work within my system to clone the drive and then take out the 2.5" drive without any problems? I running windows 10 home. Any tips or resources would help. Thanks.

    Thanks! Thats exactly what I was going for when I picked the parts!

    As I mentioned in the description, I should have gone with the R5 case because it was only $30 more than the 200r but overall a better looking case with much improved sound dampening. I didnt think the Hyper 212 was going to be all that loud and for the most part it isnt. But the fan is VERY audible when I'm playing a demanding game like Tomb Raider or Witcher 3.

    CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Motherboard: MSI Z170A GAMING M5 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Gaming X Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer OS: Windows 10 Home Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link TL-WDN4800 PCI-Express x1 802.11a/b/g/n Monitor: Acer XB271HU bmiprz 27.0" 2560x1440 165Hz Monitor Peripherals: Tecknet Mouse and Keyboard, Hyper x Cloud II Headset CPU overclocked to 4.4GHz at 1.3 mV GPU overclocked to 2075 MHz (I think?) I replaced the stock Corsair case fans with 2 Corsair Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition. I also made a wooden standoff to allow better airflow to the bottom of the case because the floor is carpet. I will be trading the GTX1070 for a GTX1080ti when the board partner cards come out for it. I also wish I had gotten the fractal design R5 case instead of the corsair just in case somebody was wondering what I would have done differently. How did I do? Does anyone with a similar setup have benchmarks I could compare too? I really don't know how to interpret the benchmarks all that well. I will trading the GTX1070 for a GTX1080ti when the board partner cards come out for it.

    I'm not sure exactly what the problem is. When I first connect the Desktop and the Laptop via homegroup, there aren't any issues. It's when I leave with my laptop and come back do I have connectivity problems. Something about leaving the physical area of my home network kills the Desktop-Laptop connection and it won't reconnect through homegroup until I have the devices forget each other and start over.

    Thanks to everyone who replied and helped me out. I just thought I'd give an update on my solution. After trying a few different things, Google Drive turned out to be the easiest and most painless way to share small files between my computers. After adding google drive folders and sub-folders to the QuickAccess panel in FileExplorer, it all just became a breeze. 15GB is plenty of space as most of my files are word documents or pdfs. I had a ton of network connectivity problems with Homegroup and I couldn't access files on my PC from school. Thanks again.

    Do you have a link to somewhere that explaind how I can set up synchronized folders?

    I have a Dell XPS 13 that I use for medical school stuff, which is great because of the battery life. I also have an awesome gaming rig at home. I prefer to work on my desktop because of the bigger screen and more comfortable set up, but I need to have access to the files on my laptop when go to school or the hospital. Instead of constantly using a USB to swap files, is there a way that I can have a shared folder between them for pdfs, videos, Microsoft office documents, etc.? I have windows 10 home edition on both.

    Great resource! Thank you

    I honestly dont know what they will do with them. Probably sit in a closet for a couple years.

    Those are waaaaaaay more expensive than what the budget will allow. Keep in mind these are temporary computers as they are only meant to accomplish research that will take 2 months at most.
  14. jtjallday
    <$800. less expensive is better as it frees up some of the budget for research supplies.

    I need some help figuring out the least expensive build that can support VR. The research grant has a budget for the hardware and the computers will be used soley for this research. I'm not sure what the school will do with the computers once the research has finished but that's not my problem. I need to build 3 PCs that can support VR with silky smooth frame rates. The VR program will likely be somewhat of a static environment, but I havent gotten any confirmation on what exactly will be displayed, but it should be somewhere between more than Minecraft but less than Witcher III. Regardless, the nature of the research requires the best frame rates >60fps. I would really appreciate any help someone could give me for every component of the build except the VR headsets themselves and the graphics cards. I believe those will be oculus rift and the GTX1070/1080 (depending on future benchmarks). Thank you!
