Unfortunately, I got the same message 'There was a problem running this tool' for the media creation tool after it attempted to verify the download. This is why I feel that the only way to fix the issue would be to wipe it all but I should have mentioned that I currently only have the one SSD...

The files don't matter. I've saved everything of consequence on a separate drive. Does the MediaCreationTool format the drive as well or simply overwrite the existing OS? I'd rather format the drive to ensure any nastiness is removed...but I'm not entirely certain of the exact method used to...

I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having. I want to do a full reset on my home-built PC but the 'Reset this PC' function will not work. It says "Windows has a problem resetting your computer: no changes has been made". I then tried to use the Windows Refresh Tool but got a...

The next thing I'm looking at is the OS. I'm reading complications with compatibility with games and drivers...should this be worrisome? Should I go with Windows 8 instead of 10? I've also read there are loads of privacy issues(not all that surprising given how Gates affiliations). It i7 can be...

Very interesting. After seeing that I'm actually leaning in the direction of the I5...Given that I'm used to console gaming I have to imagine that even not overclocked I'd likely still get a better experience(or at least one on par with consoles) than what I'm used to. I'll also have to keep in...

Another question I'm uncertain as to the answer, would a Intel Core i5-6600K 6M Skylake Quad-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1151 95W BX80662I56600K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117561&ignorebbr=1 be a noticeable difference in performance from...

Sorry, I should have mentioned I'll have a separate HDD as well(likely external in case I ever have to take the PC in for servicing) but didn't list it because I figured compatibility is easy to figure out for that piece. The primary is for the OS with games going on the secondary :) Good call...

That's great to hear! Before I pull the trigger, is there any chance the list can be looked over to be certain everything looks good together? Here it is: Intel Boxed Core I7-6700K 4.00 GHz 8M Processor Cache 4 LGA 1151 BX80662I76700K...

I'm close to building my first gaming PC but rather than wait another month to have enough to buy all the pieces at once would I be able to buy everything EXCEPT the graphic card and still have a functioning PC I can use for watching movies and internet browsing? There are no "must play" games...

Thanks, I'm replacing a seven year old computer and haven't kept up on the advancements so trying to digest all of the info in short order is proving rather...interesting. I've read more on the MSI you're talking about and it does seem like a really good card so that's what I might go with...

I'm looking at graphics cards but am having difficulty judging them. It seems EVGA, ASUS, GIGABYTE, MSI, etc all have Geforce GTX 980 ti listed...is each company using the same "card" but just with a little twist to make theirs different? I just finished reading one article about the MSI version...

A few of the components like the power supply and cooler I don't mind being a little beefier than presently needed with the thought that they wouldn't need to be upgraded later on when other parts(like the graphics card) would need to be. I might be wrong but I was under the impression that some...

Hi, I'm looking to build my first gaming computer and have selected the various components but was hoping you might be willing to look over the list and let me know if I made any compatibility errors before I place an order. I want something that can play the current newest games and still have...
