To be fair, they've added a pin to the socket since then...

You mean like this? I wouldn't do this. All you'll end up with is a dead harddrive. This not an easy mod, and certainly not a quick one.

It'll be fine. I am running a RX480 and a G4560 right now until Ryzen comes out. The CPU bottlenecks a bit, but it's not a lot. That CPU + GPU combo will give you the most performance compared to something lite an i5 and an RX460 / GTX1050. Go for the Pentium, unless you're planning on doing heavy productivity work (Video editing, etc.).

Seems alright, I'd change the power supply though. The CXM450 is a bit more expensive, but completely worth it. It's built very good and is more efficient. It's semi modular so you can unplug unneeded cables. This keeps your case tidy, which gives you better airflow. You might want to add a harddrive. The fan won't fit this case. You'll need a 120mm fan.

You will get a lot more power for productivity. There will be a 10% performance difference in CPU heavy games, but for the games you want to play there won't be a lot of difference. If you want to take a look at old benchmarks, the g4560 is about as powerful as the i5-2500(K) from back then. As I wrote earlier, I would not recommend to go with used parts on your first build.

Good idea in theory, but I don't think that this is a good idea in this case. OP seems to be building his first PC. Buying used parts can get you a great and dirt cheap machine, but you'll have a way more likely chance of components arriving dead or dying soon after installation. Even if the seller has a good return policy as you stated, it can still mean a lot of headache for an unexperienced builder.

Keeping these spreadsheets updated would mean a lot of work. These kinds of videos are snapshots of what's currently available. I'm pretty sure that there will be a 2017 edition when AMD has released their new CPU's in March.

I'm with David. The new Pentiums render the i3's basically useless, thanks to the fact that they're now also hyper threaded. Unless you're looking for very specific features (ECC Memory, better iGPU), go with the G4560. You have to be a bit carefull when choosing the motherboard: Most 100 series Boards (H110,B150,H170,Z170) will not postwith this CPU installed without a bios update which you can't do unless you have a CPU installed. TL;DR: Save yourself a lot of headache and get a B250/H270/Z270 Motherboard.

I'll give you a hint: Look at the release date of the video and then look at the release date for Kaby lake. The Video even has "2016 Edition" in the title.

I looked into it a bit further and found another option: This Silverstone adapter can house 4 2.5" drives as well as a slim line optical drive. BUT it has to be slot loading. There is another option from Chenbro, but it looks utterly terrible, and is designed for a 3.5" drive, so you would need another adapter EDIT: Keep in mind that you need an adapter to be able to plug in the slim ODD. These don't work with normal SATA power and data cables

here you go https://www.amazon.com/Syba-Adapter-Optical-Components-SY-MRA55005/dp/B0081IOSOW The drive bay even supports hot swap

What's going to happen to the Celerons then? Core iShit ?

I really hope that that is isn't going to turn out to be true. Intel is throwing their very easy naming scheme out of the window at the moment. Pentiums suddenly have hyper threading and render the i3's basically useless. If they now add an i5 with hyper threading then they have fucked their naming scheme completely. This is almost AMD level confusing

You're welcome The Teensy 2.0 has the largest amount of community support as it has been the standard for DIY keyboards for a while now. You can get clones for around 15$ from Ebay but these aren't worth it when you can get an original for 16$ Here's some info on the Teensy and where to get it https://deskthority.net/wiki/Teensy Autohotkey is a bit weird at first but it's fantastic once you understand it and get it set up properly. You should ask your brother on some input. Maybe there's a much more simple solution than my idea. Have fun with the building and tinkering

This is going to be a bit fiddly, but here's how I'd do it. I already have an Autohotkey script which is doing the same thing that you want to achieve by pressing a combination of keys. I'd run that script in AHK with a very weird key combination and use a Teensy to convert your button press into that keyboard command. Your Arduinos aren't that great a HID and simulating keyboards. There is a library for Keyboard input for Arduinos, but it's only for the Due and the Zero. You can get it to work with your nanos, but you're better off getting a Teensy for 15$. So to recap: Button is pressed -> Micro-controller converts button press into usable keyboard command and sends it via USB -> Keyboard command triggers AHK script which causes the Audio device to switch Here is the Script that I use, I half wrote, half copied it a while ago: ^!Numpad0:: ; Keyboard shortcut toggle:=!toggle ;toggles up and down states. Run, mmsys.cpl WinWait,Sound ; Change "Sound" to the name of the window in your local language if toggle ControlSend,SysListView321,{Down 1} ; This number selects the matching audio device in the list, change it accordingly Else ControlSend,SysListView321,{Down 3} ; This number selects the matching audio device in the list, change it accordingly ControlClick,&Als Standard ; Change "&Als Standard" to the name of the button in your local language ControlClick,OK return EDIT: If you really want to make it work with the Arduino, then there are ways but they are far more complicated than this solution. The reason I'm recommending the Teensy is that it is used by many to build diy mechanical keyboards which is technically what you're doing even though your keyboard only has one button

It wouldn't even fit in the first place as this is a PCI riser and the 1070 has a PCIe connector

If I'm understanding this correctly then there's no need to disable the router function on your first router. You can just plug them into each other. For your wifi problem, I'd just reset the modem/router.

According to the HDMI specification, you can use cables up to 15m. From my experience, you can get some display issues with really cheap cables (the 5$ alibaba ones) over that distance. But if the cable isn't complete garbage, then go for it

I had a quick look at it. This Reddit thread seems to have figured it out. It seems to add another layer above real time traffic for QOS for game traffic. Basically seems to work best in a household where the available internet bandwidth is used all the time and the router is configured badly or doesn't allow you to set QOS options.

Sounds more like snake oil to me. Wouldn't going through a VPN increase your ping?

I'll buy 12

I didn't know that grandma has an LTT account

Buy from the subreddit. This way you're not giving any money to G2A or Kinguin

http://jalopnik.com/how-crazy-is-too-crazy-when-it-comes-to-washing-your-ca-1782948713 How much do you clean your car? I've owned mine for half a year and have washed it twice. I remove any bird dirt as soon as I see it, but I never understood people who obsessively wash their cars.

Doesn't have "The Keyboard" though. JK I'd take the t460p because of the quadcore and the dedicated gpu.
