    Dell Inspiron 530 NAS build

    I've got an old Inspiron 530 laying around and was thinking of using it as a NAS box. It's got a 350 watt psu, Intel Core2 Quad Processor Q6600 (8M Cache, 2.40 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB) and, from what I've read, the better mobo that can handle 8gb of ram. DDR2 ram is super cheap. I can get 8gb for...

    Looking for info on upgrading i5-750 for photoshop work

    I upped the budget to 2k and plan on ordering this stuff probably this week. Stuck on PSUs though. The horrible newegg calc gives me like 900 watts while other calcs are around 450. I'm thinking the HX650 should be fine with a little bit of future proofing. PCPartPicker part list / Price...

    Thanks for info especially on the ram. Still something I obviously need to learn. I'll definitely look into those other boards.

    Looking for info on upgrading i5-750 for photoshop work

    I was planning on selling my old setup as a whole but I'm still on the fence. I'm thinking I could save more money by selling the old mobo, cpu, ram and gpu and keeping everything else. I picked the asus board just to future proof myself incase I did want to oc or whatever. I looked at the...

    Looking for info on upgrading i5-750 for photoshop work

    I've decided to just spend some extra cash and start a new build. This way I can still get some cash for my old rig before it's worthles. Here's what I've come up with so far. I might change the momo to the x99s and possibly drop the ram to 16gb until ddr4 comes down in price. I've been...

    Monitor flickering on dark colors on outside edges only?

    I did some housekeeping inside my case and I'm afraid I might have bumped something. PC fires right up and as soon as the windows login screen shows up the outside edge starts flickering. I've got an older ati 4860 card and I'm using the DVI port. While browsing the web its not bad almost not...

    Looking for info on upgrading i5-750 for photoshop work

    I'm definitely maxing out on ram every time I have lightroom + photoshop open when editing. If I can get away with some SSDs and bump my ram up to 16gb (max the board can handle) that would be awesome. Just need to figure out which ram is going to work with my board.

    Raw files are around 75mb each and when in photoshop they can reach 2gb depending on how many layers I'm using.
