I kept checking newegg every hour or 2 all day. Had an EVGA in my cart at 3:00pm CST, logged into paypal (sold my 1080 to fund), went back to order, and not available. -.- Then I got to back order the Asus, and you can't use paypal for backorders. Maybe I should just wait.... But using my old...

WD, HGST or Toshiba have great price/capacity and seem quite reliable. Running special "NAS" drives is up to you, I run desktop drives in my server, but I can see why people pay more for the guaranteed performance. I will not use/buy Seagate drives after all 5(!!!!!!!!!!!) of my 3TB Barracudas...

I will agree with everyone else that your CPU should be fine, especially if you overclock. TBH, as an added thought, you might be able to buy a used 3770k and then sell your 3570k for like $50 less, so in essence getting HT for $50, it could be worth a shot if you are trying to make the rest of...

No problem! Let us know how you like it!

As he said, an Rx480 8GB is your best bet for an under $300 AMD card at this time. I would recommend getting an AIB card instead of a reference card though, it will be much quieter and run cooler. Unless you have the rare use case where a blower cooler suits your setup. Also, 32GB of ram is...

Have an i7-6700k, an Fx9590, and an Fx8320. Will definitely be buying a Zen/Ryzen within a month or 2 of release depending upon availability and price of 8c/16t part. Want to support AMD, and have been an AMD fan since the original Athlons. Probably will be replacing the 9590 machine with Zen...

I am super excited for Ryzen, really hoping it gets Intel and AMD competing at the high end again. A Slot A athlon 700 was my *FIRST* cpu/motherboard I bought myself when I was like 13. Ran AMD cpus all the way to the Athlon 64s. I am excited about the prospect of a real CPU price war. Also...

Thanks for the reply, I have been looking around some more and seems my CPU temps are quite good, I just upped my OC on the i5 to 5.02 at 1.43v and its running 55c with intel burn test on maximum :) Maybe I am just looking for reasons to upgrade fans lol. And I dont have room for fan adaptors...

Hello, first post here ;) Currently I have a NZXT switch 810 with a coolgate 420mm rad mounted in the top of the case with 3x140mm aerocool shark fins pushing (96 cfm) and 3x140mm prolimatech blue vortex pulling (87cfm). I have blowing air in a coolermaster 140mm fan in the rear spot, and 4 x...
