Yes. Some Gigabyte z170 boards have built in thunderbolt 3.0. I can get thunderbolt om Z97 but it would require me to have a PCI card (even USB C for that matter). To do that I cannot use Gigabyte board cuz the only thunderbolt card available here is from Asus and is more compatible with...

USB c becomes important because of thunderbolt 3. I won't use it on a daily basis but in film edits, thunderbolt disks are preferred. Although that bit is still on thunderbolt 2 but as soon as lacie adapts, it will change here. About updating, I'm still rocking a mavericks. I don't update a...

Right. And how about waiting for skylake? I mean I can run Windows till the time developslers find a working fix. Stuff like USB C really matters in the long run.

Also guys, Since I have you here, I frequently find myself thinking about an X99 build with 5820K... Price does worry me but then I think I can compromise on the monitor and have a better performance. The main worry though is the problems installing on X99... It's my first build, do you...

For updating motherboard BIOS and other things that I may need... is it better to first install Windows on another SSD? I'll want to install a clean multi boot, any suggestions ?

I'm afraid I wont find Silverstone Strider here in India. But I'll check. Thanks

Thank you so much. The top post in the search is confusing to say the least (sorry). I feel technically challenged to even read the end of that (trust me I've tried several times). I'm gonna be installing Yosemite and I feel the installation guide on the site is much better than that for me...

Hey Thanks for the reply, I thought the Bitfenix Case will support mATX, I mean I saw a few online builds on the same but I'll definitely check that. I'm not too stiff about using this cabinet as I need the machine for performance and frankly, any cabinet would do. I just didn't want too big...

Hi guys, I'd like to start by saying that this is my third post in this forum and I have to complain that I have got no reply on them. :-( I don't mean to point that the community is not active because I see people discussing anything and everything. I'd like to know what went wrong? Did i...

Query - X99 or Z97? Guys please help me out here. I am looking for a compact new build and I would love to have an X99 system. The only mATX Mobo that is probably available here is Gigabyte X99M Gaming 5 but i'm not sure if I'll be able to manage the installation myself. Another option is...

How about Micro ATX. I don't wanna be building a huge system. If micro ATX has space for thunderbolt use, I can also opt for X99 Chipset.

Hello, I'm looking to build myself my first hackintosh. My purpose is to have a performance for video editing, motion graphics and color grading and the softwares I'll be using are FCPX, FCP7, After Effects, Smoke and Audition. Now I've done a lot of reading on this forum and considered...

Hi, I wish to build my first hackintosh with the exact same built. Can someone please direct me to a right tutorial for setting up hardware and installation of Yosemite/ El Capitan? This is the first time I'm hacking a system and I have to do it because the vendors that provide custom made...
