Looking to do a budget HTPC to use for emulation as well, want something small and clean enough that I can just leave it sitting on the TV stand.
This was my first mockup, but it's about $100 more than I wanted to spend, where you you start cutting corners?

I've been really wanting to try out a 120hz+ panel, but I prefer better color reproduction because I do some color sensitive work. The display needs to be matte and I cannot deal with dead/stuck pixels.
I've been looking at pixel perfect korean panels, they are right at my budget and 1440p...
I've followed the guides:
1. Leave everything on default
2. Set the vCore to 1.3 V
3. Set the CPU Ration at 4.5 Ghz, and if it's not stable, work your way down.
4. Once you find a stable speed, try slowly lowering the vCore to reduce wear and temps.
Well, I cannot get anywhere close to the...
It's always really bothered me that computers, cases, and airflow typically don't work well together, there's a lot of 90 degree angles, perpendicular cooling, and working against hot air rising.
I had the idea to use PCI-Express extenders with graphics cards that have vertically aligned...
I like the ********** 1108SS, but I cannot find it for sale on any US site. I'll probably end up getting the ********** 1106SS, but the brush plastic will be going the opposite direction as the brushed metal look on my computer case.
If these were affordable, I'd pick one of these...
Two weeks ago there was a huge release of reviews and news for this board, but no hint at an actual release date. It seems to be on sale in the UK, my current PC build relies on this board, already order a bunch of parts during the black friday sales.
I've been trying to figure out the perfect mATX case to get with an overclocked 5820k. And with a smaller case, managing heat is huge issue, and your cooler options are really limited by the case. Originally I was exclusively looking at cases that support a 240 all-in-one radiator, but then I...
Use: The PC will primarily be used for creating art and assets for video games in Unreal Engine 4, playing games is secondary. A powerful CPU will cut down on render, baking, and compiling time, and it'll be much easier to upgrade the GPU in a few years
Current Build: My PC is really behind...
In terms of being quiet and looking good, the TJ08B-E and the Define Mini are two of my favorite mATX options, but they don't look easy to move and have a bit of wasted space. The mATX case with handles that I've seen that isn't completely ugly is the Prodigy M, but it's still not pretty and...
I know it'll probably be cheaper to build a computer around the i7-3930K instead of the newer i7-5820K, but the i7-5820K sells for $300 at Microcenter often, and I'm wondering at the price, is it worth it to go for the newer and more expensive build?
I sometimes have to work at home and I hate the clutter and mess hooking everything up and removing makes, but the docking stations that my work uses are $200. Are there other alternatives, so I don't have to unplug my monitors and hide the cables every week?
I'm still undecided if I want to go mATX or ITX, I really just want something easy enough to move around and sit on my desk. With this type of build it seems like I need to figure out my case before I can figure out my build.

I got a cheap DAC because I was tired of hearing noise from my computer on my headphones. The DAC works great until I put my computer to sleep and wake it back up. The audio will not play through the dac until I unplug and replug the USB DAC back in once or twice, and that also requires me to...

I only have 1 working audio jack on my computer and need to be able to switch between speakers and headphones without going under my desk. I'm kinda looking for more budget friendly solutions. I don't need a mic jack on the hub, but it would be nice.
Also if there is any solution that reduces...
I wanted to make 2 comparable builds, one for ITX, the other for mATX. I'm having issues deciding on a build and what parts

- Entry level sound card quality audio, I don't like hearing noise on my headphones.
- Quiet as possible. I want to be able to...

I'm looking at spending around $250 on a new video card. I've had my eye on the GTX 760 2GB, and I'm planning on just swapping the video card over when I build a new computer within the next year and will put the 9800gt back into this...
