    Looks great .. if you could move up to I5-8500 and newer Motherboard then you would get 6cores and a probably a longer life span. I checked and you would only be paying about $40 more in total

    I'm finding that now I watch my vids over on floatplane I am not as active in the forums anymore ....

    I would keep the platform if your only getting a 1060. your CPU is still not enough to bottleneck a 1060: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q7lIYRK5T0ABLvAkgbM_2jJGvbhlep27mR-eRcCy4FA/edit?usp=sharing and with the DDR4 prices plus extra latency you should just save your money .. and maybe put a decent cooler on the CPU for a sweet overclock.

    The 1Tb HDD will hurt .. add a few $ for a boot SSD to go along with it. perhaps drop down fro mthe cyrorig h7 since you wont be overclocking and reuse the budget on an SSD

    In Thailand at least : I guess they were supposed to keep these in the back for a few more days.

    1050Ti all day long .. hence the higher price ... any low priced RX560 going - RX560 sits between 1050 and 1050ti so if you got one for ~210 CAD it would be a better deal .. IMO
  8. nzjacob
    Yes I have installed win10 on this board before no problem
  9. nzjacob
    No point wasting $$ going to the FX 8350 .. you would be better off waiting (saving) to get a new MB/CPU/RAM combo (Ryzen on B350) or even better spend the same $ on older tech like I5 2nd/3rd or 4th Gen and MB combo (then you could reuse your DDR3 RAM and 1050Ti)

    too many frames for the TV to process ? .. what happens if you lock your framerate in TF2 using the fps_max 60 command ?
  11. nzjacob
    Will it fit? - no Idea Will it play games in 1080p properly? - yep thats not going to be a problem Can I use it for fast rendering 1080p video's? - yep, Ryzen does well here Does it look dope? - If it fits then yes it would be totally dope

    Sorry to hear .. but things I would check or try 1. update DG965WH BIOS if not done already - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/17153/BIOS-Update-MQ96510J-86A-non-iSRT-?product=22639 2. Install Windows 10 without GPU installed .. you can use a Win 8.1 Key to deploy Windows10 until Dec 31st .. or just install as trial mode for now 3. create a bootbale memtest usb key to check the DDR2 RAM .. http://www.memtest.org/download/5.01/memtest86+-5.01.usb.installer.zip

    Like everything in this world, youtube has the answer ..

    Decent headphone stand/holder ...
  15. nzjacob
    Basic Answer is yes .. the type of RAM on your GPU has no bearing on your system RAM.
  16. nzjacob
    I find a lot of 1155 boards locally for closer to $50 .. if your not overclocking then the B75 boards are normally cheap but Z77 will have the most features.
