  1. a driver issue then? do you have the latest storage drivers installed?
  2. Well you answered your own question. You need a cheap extension cable like this one
  3. Cool, seems like a software / driver issue of some sort. There are plenty of reports of software crashing/acting up with the anniversary update so it might be related to your problem
  4. check if the indexing service is disabled for the corsair drive. Win 10 disables the service once it detects SSDs but you never know
  5. Corsair has a few black and white cases such as the carbide clear 400C and the graphite 600T. For something a little more aggressive take a look at the carbide air 240
  6. yep, I have a small bluray collection plus some older games (on disc) that I still play from time to time. On rare occasions I even burn some cds/dvd to family and friends
  7. I know that, but money is tight to say the least. Thats why I dont have a gpu yet and for a budget build it is fine. I had to choose between evga and some no-name psu.
  8. Ive been using the EVGA 500B1 for a few weeks now, so far so good.
  9. All my builds have been ATX in a mid tower case. Thats like the sweet spot I think. I like having many expansion slots and good airflow without having a gigantic case. Ive been thinking about building a mini itx pc for the longest time, but those components are somewhat hard to get where I live.

    new case

    well if you dont mind the build quality that much, then I guess it should be ok. However, if you see something from corsair or any other reputable brand then you should definitely consider it over the aerocool case.
  11. linus made a video not too long ago but your options for hardware are limited, so I would recommend something like this:
  12. A red /black clean looking case is the NZXT H440. Lots of room for cable management, watercooling and drives.

    Case?

    Most cases come with all the screws you will need and a few zip ties. Some PSU and fans come with their on screws. If they dont, go to any computer shop and buy a few. Get some more zip ties too, they come pretty handy.

    new case

    I dont have any experience with aerocool cases, but I did get the chance to see a few when I was shopping around for my new rig. TBH they look cool in pictures and all, but in reality they feel very cheap and flimsy. What is your budget? perhaps there is something better in that price range
  15. The corsair ML120 seem like a good option for heatsinks and radiators, they have the right amount of static pressure and airflow. Yes, they are expensive but they are expected to last twice as much.
  16. the 212 EVO does have some clearance issues for the first ram slot. Just make sure you use low profile ram
  17. For $89 you can get the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M with full size window. It has everything you need and it is watercooling ready. There is a cheaper version with a smaller window for $70 bucks
  18. are you going to sli? do you want a side window? how many drives are you going to use? There are plenty of cases in that price range but it depends on what you really want / need.
  19. If you really like the g303 design and features then yes you should get it. If you want something a little better for fps there are other options such as the corsair m65 pro rgb. Ive been using it for a couple of days and I love it already.
  20. Sounds like there is a process in the background slowing down the system. That would explain poor performance in loading and being unable to shutdown properly. Open task manager and look for any process hogging resources
  21. if you ask me, you should sell the computer with 4670k and get the skylake build you wanted in the first place. You get new architecture, better power efficiency and newer tech like usb 3.1 and thunderbolt. Moreover, you can upgrade your cpu to kaby lake later this year.
  22. everything seems great but the video card, you can get a gtx1070 for the same price
  23. did you check the usb configuration in the bios? Im running out of ideas
