I would be backing up the Raid0 array on the Raid1 array. So I would assume the only down time would be purchasing the new drive, if drive failure happens, and starting from last back up. Unless I am missing something with backing up steam libraries?

Hello Fellow builders, I am trying to figure out a storage solution for my upcoming build. I mostly use it for Gaming and thinking maybe streaming in the near future. I also plan on ripping my blu-ray(25x)/dvd(50x) collection soon. Mapping out the amount of storage I currently have and...

Yep picked up the 970 for 250.

Had already cued it up. Thank you though. And good idea about the Game sale. I don't play either so I'll see if a friend wants it. Also it caught my eye because the color also matches the rest of the build. A happy Coincidence. Thank you guys again! After rebates whole build will have...

I understand what you are saying with the rest of the rig. But I over zealous on the build so I knew I had longevity for the system. Then didn't budget proportionately for a decent card.

I know Nvidia recommends GTX 970 for Battlefront but I do not have the cash to buy one at the moment. If I could drop 300 on a card I would but the reality is I just can't right now and I'm GPUless. I just completed my first build and have yet to purchase a GPU. Hoping that Black Friday/cyber...

Looking at one of these three Thermaltakes Due to a New Egg deal Thermaltake Commander G42 Black Thermaltake Versa H21 Thermaltake Versa H22 Build is CPU: Intel i7-4790k Mobo: MSI z97s SLI Krait Edition Memory: G.Skill Sniper Series 16gb(2x8gb) DDR3-2400 SSD : Samsung 850 evo 250gb...

Trying to to decide between these two Boards. I won't be overclocking right away but possibly in the future (8-12months) to maintain relevant processing speed for the rig. I can get either of these for around $60. Asrock z97 Pro 4 MSI z97s SLI Krait Edition Rest of my Build CPU: Intel...

This is my first build and I am looking for some decent memory speeds. I do not plan on overclocking anytime soon. Part Picker's Compatibility notes found this issue "The G.Skill Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell Refresh CPU...

Found the Asrock z87 Extreme4 refurbished at micro Center for $52 after bundle. Would this be comparable or a step back due previous Gen? Or an MSI z97 SLI Crait I plan on running OS (windows 7 64bit) and a game or two on the SSD. My gaming habits do not have me playing multiple games back to...

Forgive my horrible ignorance as I stumble into the vastness of the PC world. SLI is for running multiple GPUs? I don't plan on running multiple GPU because this is a beginning step into PC gaming and I don't have the budget for a very strong build. Future(2-3years) I do plan on building a 2k...

I will be honest I do not think I will be overclocking anytime soon or at least not to the mid or upper end of OC. So base processing speed probably would be the best option. looking at what people are saying, if I go with a i7-4790k what budget motherboard can I get without bottlenecks...

EliteRetard, I understand what you are saying there with the 4790k. My question is Longevity. If I go for a current Generation Processor with the new DDR4 tech now, I could upgrade to a more powerful processor and not have to upgrade MoBo and Memory down the road? And the Mobo with DDR4 has...

After looking at many build templates and browsing the forums this is the best build I've come up with. Parts picker Link CPU: Intel i5 6600k 3.5GHz ($229.99@Micro Center) MoBo: Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3 ($109.99-$20Bundle-$20rebate=$69.99 @Micro Center) Hard Drive:Sandisk SSD Plus 120gb ($45.99...
