Yeah I was going to try it, but I figured I might just try and plug in the antennas for the card and see if it can connect to my WiFi. And turns out it does not need drivers for Windows 10.

Hi I'm looking to find a driver for my WiFi PCIe card, ZyXEL NWD-310N, for Windows 10. So far I have had no luck by looking on the official Zyxel download site, they only support from Windows 2000 through to Windows 7 (Which is the last version of Windows I used this card on.) So, I'd like to find out if there is somehow a way to use the driver on Windows 10, or if there are other WiFi card drivers which will work for this specific card on Windows 10? Thank you for your help in advance!

Yeah I was thinking of something like the 950 too since it's not that much more in price and I might be able find several deals on it. And my father has a bunch of external HDDs which he regularly backs up with his work so I think I'm fine with one SSD and HDD - also seeing how he wants a smaller case. Yeah that is true, I think that is the same problem my father has with his old laptop and slow HDD.

Seems good, but isn't a R9 380 a little overkill?

Oh I know about overclocking the CPU, I have a i7-4790K and Z97 myself. But I was wondering about a B150M Motherboard and lets say the 750ti, would I be able to overclock the GPU?

Yeah I'm aiming for a 27-28" ISP 4K monitor for him. And the 1151 socket definitely seems like the winner, low power consumption on the Skylake chips and DDR4 RAM, not the biggest impact on the performance side but still a nice added bonus. Oh and either @pyrojoe34 or @AlexTheRose it might be a silly question, but you are still able to overclock a GPU even if the motherboard is not meant for overclocking the CPU, right?

This looks pretty solid, and I remember Linus doing a build in this case so I'm certain it will work fine. And if there is no boxed fan for the i3-6100 or whichever CPU I pick I can probably use the box fan I got with my own i7-4790K and I'm sure that is more than enough since I won't be overclocking a non-k CPU.

That’s seriously completely unnecessary. Video rendering and photo rendering are two entirely different beasts when it comes to performance. He does not need a 5960X, or even a 5820K, and actually could probably get by with a 6100 if he wanted to. Anyway, any old motherboard that fits your CPU will do. As for the CPU itself, I would recommend getting a Core i3 as the performance provided by two cores with hyperthreading is perfect for day-to-day multitasking and Photoshop rendering. For a GPU, I think a 750 Ti would be your best bet – it provides GPU-based acceleration that’s sufficient for even the largest of photos your dad would be handling. The 4K monitor will be by far your most expensive part, just so you know that going in. Thank you for the answer. I think GauntletV2 either missed something in my post or assumed I was going to do video rendering too. As for the monitor, yes it will easily be the most expensive part especially because it has to be an IPS panel and not the cheaper TN panels. I even tried to convince him to stick with a 1920x1080 monitor for now because 4K is going to be a lot cheaper by the end of the year.

I heard otherwise, if you overclock the GTX 970, and the 390 is just a 290 with more VRAM. And assuming you're not trying to max GTA V or Shadow of Mordor, then you probably won't need the extra VRAM.

Hey So my father asked me to build him a new computer primarily for working with Photoshop in 4K on Windows 10, but he will also use it for internet browsing and Microsoft Office etc. Previous I have built two computers for my brother and myself which both worked as expected, these two builds are very similar as both are based on Z97, GTX970 and i7-4790K with 16GB of RAM, SSDs etc. And of course CPU coolers and PSU. However we primarily use our computers for gaming and some video and photo editing on 1920x1080 monitors. So I'm looking to find out (without doing too much research) what CPU, Motherboard and GPU (today) will get the job done of handeling 4K for Photoshop. Seeing how our father is an enthusiast when it comes to photographing he has set a budget of about ~1350$ but that is also necessary because computer hardware is rather expensive in Denmark compared to USA. So to summarize what Motherboard and CPU along with a GPU is enough to sustain Photoshop in 4K? Together with my brother I will figure out the rest to either reach the budget or save some money. But if you do have any recommendations for small MICRO- or MINI-ITX cases then I'd be more than happy to read them. And thank you in advance!
