Nope the laptop can read the 840 and 850 just fine. But the new build motherboard with different sata port and 2 different sata cable which came with the gigabyte z170n-wifi mobo doesnt detect neither the 840 or 850pro Its still under warranty since i received it 5hrs hours ago through amazon. Im almost tempted to go out and buy a sata cable just to be sure the port are dead. Some website say i could try to flash the mobo? edit: phrasing

I didnt troubleshoot that far because its a hassle to open my laptop to acess drives sorry. Switched my 840pro of my laptop and the 850pro from the new build. New build bios doesnt detect 840pro Laptop detect 850pro Tried different sata cable and different sata cable. Dead sata port on mobo or is there a setting i can try changing?

nope it doesnt

Ive been having issue win10 not finding my SSD and driver. Tried different sata. Read somewhere i can change some settings in bios but i think it was for 950 m.2. Not sure what to do now.

The design and lowprofile of the node 202 which would help me stuff it in a paded pellican case was what attracted me to the node 202. Im open to other case anyday! I inserted the integra PSU just because i was lazy. Id probably look for another one.

looks promising. Ill try to find some info on it

maybe do a best of both world. go with a 6600k to be able to OC later on if 550w low profile PSU comes out. node 202 is really more slick than the 304

6700k 1080 OC seems a little overkill but would it hurt down the line say in 2years to be able to OC?

Looks like the 304 is my favorite high profile mini itx case. Ill probably go with it if i decide to go for a K/550w/OC build.

so if i want to OC i might dump the face and go boxlike case.

Ill add another drive eventually as required, its just to get it started. Also my alienware 17 r1 doesnt support external GPU enclosure except if i diy eGPU which seems like too much hassle.

Yes, its my concern at the moment. Yes Ive been thinking of either try to find a 550w psu i could fit in there for OC or just drop the K cpu

Ive went for the FE card so i dont blow hair into the system and also i have it for 549.99$

Hello everyone, ive decided to build my first PC after years gaming on laptop. Down below is a first sketch on what im going for please give your opinion. Thank you. 1. Budget & Location No budget, Canada 2. Aim System is going to be used for gaming at home and away while working. 3. Monitors 3440x1440p 100hz Gsync or lower on travel 4. Peripherals Already have win7 might buy win10 Already own the samsung 840 evo 500gb 5. Why are you upgrading? Ive been running games on gaming laptop since '09 and ive grown sick of it. These mini ITX build seems like the best go to for someone on the move like me because of work. EDIT: Also im unsure if i should get a 550w psu to OC in this case? Im concerned about heat management.
