I'l be going for the ASUS STRIX GTX1070! Thanks for the help guys

Yeah that the one I'm leaning towards. Thanks for the help Bryce. Just one last thing. These cards don't have any issues right? If I remember correctly GTX970 had some memory issues?

-The cooler types doesn't matter but I like the cooler style of ASUS GTX1070 STIX (http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX62945) - I would like it to be quieter but not emphasized over performance - Overclocking - wouldn't be doing too much - I have a light blue colours scheme but not took picky. - All my components are ASUS or Corsair so I'd like to stay with ASUS but I'm not confined to them.

It really doesn't matter about the cooling or sound (although quieter is better but not emphasized over performance). I have a corsair 650d with 2 stock fans and 2 fans with the AIO CPU liquid cooler and nice cable management. I don't think GPU with either cooling method will be an issue.

Hey Guys! I've been out of the GPU loop for a while and don't know what is going on in terms of performance. I've been given a birthday/christmas gift present budget of $500-600 (I can push it to lower 700s, in CAD currency). I'm not looking to upgrade anything but the GPU and maybe the power supply. I currently have the corsair GS600, which I think is sufficient for pretty much any GPU? Please let me know! I don't know if some editions or series have issues with memory, performance, etc. Which GPU and edition would you guys suggest? Really appreciate the help!

What I like about these graphic cards is that they are significantly better than my current GTX460 and would be a great upgrade!

I got the Synology DS414 with 4 x 2 TB WD RED. I have 3 x 2TB running in raid 1 for redundancy (I am kinda a paranoid about losing data) and the other one storing the camera footage from the 5 ip cameras I have.

I found LinusTechTips channel right after I got into computers. Before I got into them I had a phobia of them. A friend of mine in grade 8 got me started and after that I started learning how to build a pc, overclock, repair, etc from this channel. I had been just a watcher of the channel (non-subscriber) for 4+ years but just recently subscribed. I CAN'T express how much this channel has taught me or how much money this channel this has saved me. Thanks to the whole linus tech tips and community for making this a thing. I would be a more active member of this forum community but I am focusing on my University Education.

I ended up going with Synology, and it ended up being a dream to work with! It was the perfect solution for me. Thanks all of you guys for help!

The customizability of the LG OS is amazing! But who can forget the 1440p display :rolleyes:

Sorry about not providing enough info. Here is the info you asked for. There are 8-10 computers There is around a 1TB of data, and it increases quite a bit each year hence the 3-4 TB. I was thinking raid 5 as the config, but would raid 1 be a better option? I am sort of paranoid with losing data because a lot of work goes into creating 1 client's file and we have about over 250 active clients and we keep documents for inactive clients incase they need it. So is it possible to do (may be stupid, forgive me) raid 1 with 3-4 drives, and eliminate backing up? Since there are 3-4 identical copies? 4TB because I wanted to do RAID 5 and I can't really find good drives under 1 TB where I live. This data includes confidential info suck as scans of passports, permanent resident cards, and other legal information. So it has to be secure as possible. I do require backups, but no one at the office has enough technical knowledge to do it while I am gone to university (I study in a different province). The situation right now: We are constantly having problems with the server (It's an pre-i3,i5,i7 quad core, 4 GB of DDR 2 Ram, 1.5 TB of storage). And the guy we had a contract with was ripping us off (charging us $150 for a 500 GB "enterprise" drive (It was a WD Green) + labour), and the passwords to the user accounts "mysteriously" keep changing. Its currently running windows server 2008. We need a need to add another PC to the office, so I am thinking of turning the server into a normal PC (Should be more than enough) and build or buy a NAS. So I have decided to take over, remove the user accounts, just keep it simple and have have network storage. Thanks for the info! Appreciate it!

First off, thanks all for the GREAT responses. Linus wasn't kidding when he said ask the forums. I have loads of time, as will have 4 months off after University. I can spend weeks if required, just need a place where I can start. Where do you recommend I go to learn more in regards to what I need to learn? I also want to setup some IP camera, let me know where I should start there as well. The Synology solution does look pretty compelling. I do have a few old PC just sitting around. They are pretty old (around 8 years). Pentium 4 dual core 3.0 GHz and AMD Althon 64 dual core @2.0 GHz. I have tons of DDR2 ram just sitting, waiting to be used. But I don't think it would be a reliable option. Talking about reliable options, I have a scenario for you. Say I configure a RAID 5 setup with a Synology Solution or a self built FreeNAS, and the unit were to fail. Would i be able to fully recover my data? I know they are on the hard drives but I don't know why but I think the data being encrypted, might not be recoverable. For the printer, I have no idea how to assign a printer a static IP, or even host the driver on the printer server. Where would be a good place to start learning about this? I am willing to invest how ever much time is required. Oh stop it you *blushes* As I said before, I can spend weeks if required to learn about this. I am genuinely interested into this stuff, so this should be fun. And for the budget I am estimating I want to spend around $500 on just the NAS solution (whether it is a solution on Synology or self built (I have load of cases, and PSUs, so I would just need the HDD, CPU, RAM. I don't think it would cost a lot.)) and maybe around 300-400 on hard drives (Most likely going for WD red NAS drives). I am hoping to get this all done for around $1200? Does that sound reasonable? And again, I don't know a lot about this topic, and I know how it feels to meet a person that doesn't know what you expect the person to know, and take it for granted. I don't want to bother or leech on you guys by PMing you a lot. I tend to do that without noticing. So again, where would a good place to start learning all this?

Hey Guys, I have spent the past few days learning about networking and NAS, although I learnt a lot I still consider my self a noob. So I am reaching out to you guys for advice. I am going to tell you guys my situation so you can better understand me and in result give me better advice for my needs. So my Mom's office has 8-10 computers, they are mainly used for used for document work (Acrobat Pro, Excel, Word, etc), not video streaming or anything intensive. My mom perviously had a contract with a guy who managed our computers and networking, but I am taking over since she is moving into a new office and her contract with him is over, and I will be in charge of the computer setups and networking. I have little to no networking experience so bear with me if I ask stupid questions in this thread. What I am looking for: Should I build my own system and use FreeNAS (Or any other recommendations?), or buy a prebuilt solution like a WD EX4? 4TB Storage: Which drives do you recommend? Have a network printer (It's one of those huge Pitney Bowes Printers) (So anyone who connects to the Network can print) (Have it connected to the NAS maybe? Is this a stupid question? Or is there a better way of doing it?) Have the NAS password protected, so not anyone who connects to the network can access the documents. What would be the best way to secure them? If I build my own system, would I need a gigabit NIC Card? Gigabit switch? Or just a normal switch and NIC? If I do need them, which ones do you recommend? Also how should I wire this whole thing up? I am going to take a shot at it right now, let me know if this is correct or if there is a better way of doing it. Image attached. P.S. Sorry for the bad English, I am English as fourth language.

My favourite thing about the HTC M8 is the build quality. It feels so good in the hands!

Hi Guys, I have two sources of audio for the same song but there is background noise in both of them. Is it possible for me to input both files and have some software analyze both of them and cancel out the background noise? It's not a song I can find from the internet. And I am willing to pay however much it is to get the software. The name of the software and feature would work! I am asking for a feature similar to shown in the picture above but in my case with audio. Sorry for the bad english, I tried my best. Thanks!
