    New PC Build - Thoughts?

    Backup is pretty much the answer, as I mentioned earlier we have a lot of media and quite an extensive music collection, i like to keep a mirror just in case. Although, I have thought about getting a 2TB internal and keeping the photos and music on an external 1TB that could be synced weekly or so.

    New PC Build - Thoughts?

    Thanks for the Motherboard suggestion, I don't plan on OC'ing anything so I guess that one would do just fine? I have never used ASRock before, they are reliable? The 240gb SSD will do just fine then, and a good price too! I have never heard of TEAM memory before, again, reliable brand...

    New PC Build - Thoughts?

    The PSU is from my build in 2009. -UD4H - no real rhyme or reason, just looked good at the time lol! Is there a better alternative to support the CPU? 16gb RAM - I like the sound of that, and it would probably run things smoother for sure, good call! SSD -...
