Alright. yes it does have NVME support. to use that SanDisk SSD I'll have to remove my HDD, so I was looking for exclusively M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs. Thanks for your suggestions.

Hey all, I'm looking to upgrade my Dell Inspiron 5577 with a PCIe SSD. Currently it only has a 5400rpm 1TB HDD, and yeah, it's pretty slow. This laptop has a slot for a PCIe SSD, so I wanted install one and use it for my OS and commonly used programs and HDD for extra storage. However, I'm...

Hey all, My friend made a new build, here are some of the specs: CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 http://ark.intel.com/products/88184/Intel-Core-i5-6500-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz MoBo: Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3P http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5495#ov Memory: Kingston HyperX...

So what you're saying is that if I go with 2666, I could see the same performance increase they see in the video compared to 2133. But there's a chance that because every unit is different, my specific CPU unit won't support the 2666 and have to run the sticks at 2133, correct? Also, if I go...

Thanks for the feedback. I thought memory speed would be trivial too but I watched this video and it appears that is actually pretty significant in some games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3G-7bfPG2dE 2:27 is a good reference point if you don't want to watch the whole thing. Any thoughts?

Hey all, I'm looking to build a Skylake build, and am looking at the following CPU and MoBo: CPU: i3-6100 http://ark.intel.com/products/90729/Intel-Core-i3-6100-Processor-3M-Cache-3_70-GHz MoBo: Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3P http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5495#ov If any of...

He ended up reinstalling, which fixed the problem, so it probably was a corrupted boot drive. Thanks for all the help!

It's already on UEFI. He tried removing all from except the necessary satas and got the same thing. Thinking about resetting the CMOS, or of the repair on the Windows 7 discs would be helpful?

Hey all, My friend is getting this error message for his computer when he tries to boot it. He has Windows 7 installed on a single HDD, as well as all his other software and programs. "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" I had him...

So even though it's already formatted from the previous Windows installation, I'll have to format it again anyway when I start the new install? And the SSD will be wiped in the process? Will the HDD need to be re-installed and reformatted automatically or is there a manual process for that? Do...

Hello all! First, here is the link to my current build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dGwqYJ I'm upgrading a few parts at the same time, and was looking for some help on exactly the steps/order I should take in doing so. Here are the parts I am upgrading and what they are being upgraded to...
