Thanks for the replies In regards to my plan, its pretty much the smallest case that can fit in a EVGA GS 550W (basically a full size ATX PSU). I was hoping for a case with a small footprint and sleek which is why I was drawn to the Cougar QBX. Just because I'm not going to have much space in...

I'm going to university in a couple of weeks and when I first built my PC a couple of years ago, I put the ITX motherboard in an ATX case (easier to build in for the first time), so I could then put it in an ITX case when I plan on moving. The case I wanted to put it in was the Cougar QBX but...

Okay I messed up big time now. I used EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition 11.9 but I somehow got the USB drive not being recognised by the computer. It isn't even on devices and printers (It only shows the local disks). I'm an idiot.

Admittedly I used my external hard drive as a USB boot device for Windows using Windows ISO (I should have used a USB Flash Drive but I had lost mine). But when I was trying to transfer files from my old laptop to my new PC, I found that my Intenso 1TB USB hard drive had went from having a...

The two CPU's I'm thinking about getting are the i5 4590 and the i5 6500 or 6600 (i know they're different sockets, I've got plans on what to with each option). I'm a noob so be patient with me please :) What you guys are saying is that I can run the integrated graphics off my CPU on those...

I'm planning to get a graphics card after I build my PC so I can look for better deals or wait for Pascal. So I was planning to use the integrated graphics in the meanwhile. However, there are motherboard saying they don't support integrated graphics (like Intel HD Graphics) yet they have I/O...

I thought about that as well but I've heard bad things about the reliability of there boards. And now I realise I might need integrated graphics compatibility since it is my first time building and I might rely on that if something goes wrong. Should have been even more clear from the start. Sorry

I wanted to get the MSI Z97I AC however, I cannot find that anywhere so I'm going for a Skylake build since I might as well. I've thought of what parts to get (even though I'm not too sure on the power supply). But I'm quite unsure on the motherboard. I won't be needing to overclock anymore but...
