I have not. Looks great. Thank you, I'll look into it for sure.

The keyboard isn't for normal computing use. Trying to fix a people problem. The function keys in this specific instance will shortcut through a process incorrectly and cause more problems down the road, long story I'd rather not get into it. So, I'm on the lookout to see if it exists and...

Hey everyone. I am looking for a keyboard that does NOT have the F1-F12 or the FN keys on it. I've been looking through 60% and 65% keyboards but everything I've looked at has a FN button with a function layer. Extremely basic keyboard. Ideally it won't have RGB either. QWERTY and Number...

Hello everyone! Looking to do some hopefully minor upgrades to my computer so I can provide better overall stream quality and performance when I'm playing newer games. Right now, I consider it below average but its working. Years ago I used this forum to get me to where I am today and so I'm...

That makes sense and valid points on the other issues. I will be upgrading to Windows 10 with the hard drive since it is definitely needed, I agree. As for the BIOS I honestly never considered updating it. The pc has been stable and I more or less forgot about it. I’ll look up the latest...

I generally go through Newegg to buy my parts but have a coworker that swears by Amazon so I may go that route for once. Regardless, if its just not compatible with the board I'd rather not waste the time finding out after the fact. It is just odd that the benchmark site said it was...

My motherboard is a GA-H170-D3HP-CF and I was looking into getting a 500GB M.2 970 Evo to replace one of my mechanical drives or just an addition. I was playing around in UserBenchmark.com, when I threw together my benchmark and changed the SSD to the 970 it showed that my motherboard was...

Hey everyone, Networking isn't a big forte of mine so I come to you all. Long story short, I am looking for an alternative to this little guy: https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/WL330N/ Longer story... We use them on a shopfloor to connect production machines (ie: robodrills) to a wireless...

Thanks for explaining. Flipped to the Gigabyte ATX board and the Crucial memory. I think that about sums it up for me so I'll be headed to the checkout lane soon. Appreciate the advice guys, thank you.

How are those boards better buys, aside from the price difference. Is the PRO prone to failing consistently? (Edit: Lack of PCI slots on the PRO that I didn't notice. Will adjust.) I'm not sure how I'm skimping on the memory either? The timings between the G.SKILL and the Crucial are almost...

Alright so this is where I'm at. Gonna stick with the PRO MoBo and I went with the G.SKILL 16GB memory. Cheaper than going with two of the Crucials. GPU I changed to the GIGABYTE since its currently the same price ($40 off right now) as the ASUS. The case I'm debating on right now. Its $30...

Thanks for the suggestions. Did you link the right mobo? The H170 is DDR3 and the RAM is DDR4. This maybe? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132575&cm_re=ASUS_H170-_-13-132-575-_-Product As for the video card, AMD has a sour spot with me right now. My display...

Hey guys, So all the information in the OP is still relevant (didn't feel it necessary to make a new thread). Shortly after asking for advice had a bit of Murphy's Law happen with my finances. The parts I had hoped to get didn't happen, thankfully in hindsight. But now I'm back to a position...

Valid points. 4590 it is. While on the subject, whats the recommended thermal paste to be going with these days? I had forgotten in my original post that I have a Razer Barracuda AC-1 sound card installed. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829153003 Since the board...

Can't remember the last time I used Intel. I'll take the leap away from AMD, why not, should be fun. I'll take you up on your suggestions on the MB and GPU, thank you for that. Question to why you suggested the i5-4590 instead of the i5-4690 or i5-4690k? I'm assuming for price?
