in that case, which pci express wifi network card do you recommend? I'm willing to pay up to about $80, but I don't want to waste money if that's unnecessary. It'll be on comcast 250 extreme, if that helps.

Hello, I've put together a new system build with a gigabyte gaming 5 z170x mobo, and I don't yet have an Ethernet cord long enough to reach the router. In the meantime, I have a really old D-Link wireless wda 2320 network card that I guess I could throw in to get my windows updates running...

update: I can boot to the usb iso again (the boot selection is just hard to find in the gigabyte uefi), but I am still unable to proceed with the win 10 installation. It keeps telling me that there is insufficient freespace to install win10 while showing me that there are about 456gb of...

Hello, I recently built a new system, and everything was going fine, I booted from a usb iso out of the bios, I was going through the windows 10 setup, did the custom (not upgrade) install, selected my primary drive, which is a 500gb SSD with about 200gb of data on it from an old build, but...

Additionally, I don't want to run into the scenario where the default windows graphics driver interferes with the specific driver for my discrete gpu. Does that take care of itself when I install the GPU drivers? Or, do I need to manually block the installation of microsoft's default graphics...

Hello everyone, I've got a new build in the works here, the parts are on the way if not here already, and I am preparing a bootable windows iso usb that also has my drivers on it (i think that works but let me know if there are issues with doing that). I've placed the latest GPU drivers on it...

Here's my situation: I have taken my 500GB SSD with Win7 on it (and my old files which I would like to keep) out of my old computer. That was an old core2quad computer, and so the SSD has all the old drivers for that computer. I have a usb boot to windows 10 iso image. I am making a totally...

Why the 6700k instead of the 6600k? I'll be using this for gaming exclusively btw. Do you thank that the i7 with hyperthreading will be a bigger advantage in the near-ish future for gaming? Perhaps with DX12? Everything I've read, benchmarks I've seen, etc...show a negligible advantage for i7...
