Hey guys - I'm looking to purchase the RAM and SSD, may OS, today and I'm looking around at prices. Newegg has a combo deal with the listed RAM and a Samsung 850 EVO. Any real world differences between the EVO and the PRO lines? So far a quick search has said I won't really see any differences...

Danne - Thanks for the links. The goal of the test / upgrade is to just get something running in the meantime. If the hardware works then I don't need to do an immediate upgrade. If it doesn't, then I'll at least the new pieces I buy will be compatible with the i7 upgrade I'll be doing 'soon'...

Danny - Answers in red. Based on your questions and some more digging it's looking like I should be thinking about getting a new rig from scratch...

Does your particular NUC have the analog 1/8in out? 1/8in out to your mixer. Set the audio in your OS to output via analog rather than the HDMI. Depending on your mixer inputs you could use the line-in, 1/8in to RCA L/R, or get a 1/8in stereo to 1/4in mono L/R cable and go into the other channels.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming, A/V work (recording music, web cam host), streaming rig, host to a few VMs (nothing serious), usual office work station 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Depends on the parts required. Max...

Aye, thanks for the replies guys. I didn't mean to post the K version. Good looking. I did some digging and while I think you're correct on the processor, I don't want to meet a bottleneck there. I'm going to pick up the i7-4770 and the extra stick of RAM and call it a day. Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply, Danny. Any reservations bumping the CPU to the i7-4770k and getting two of the memory sticks?

Thanks guys. This looks good. Should have any issues getting this!

Same builder, Different build and friend. :cool:

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Strictly a machine to broadcast games from Xbox One 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? A flexible $1000 3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible...

Thanks Danny - recommendations on Blu-Ray software?

I don't see him needing more than 500gb. His music collection is on external drives and even that I don't think amounts to more than 500gb.

haha - I looked at my history of HTPC build threads and found that I put them in this forum rather than the HTPC forum. The guy I'm building it for has some era of MS Flight Sim. I think it's 2002... I'm sure he'll upgrade with a better machine though. I don't think it's a major focus of the box.

I may have posted in the wrong forum. I've reposted in General Hardware. Mods can close this thread if they like.
