Hi all, I was looking at this Asus GL12CX-B9 computer and wanted to know if you guys think it's a good buy at $1,100 for a new gaming computer or not? I've never bought a prebuilt before but was thinking of just doing it. Here is a link to the computer/specs, just ignore the Best Buy price that...

I will be buying the new Intel NUC (NUC7i7BNH) once it's available to purchase later this month. The specs for it on the Intel website (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/nuc-kit-nuc7i7bnh.html) says it uses a "1x Thunderbolt 3 port (40 Gbps, with USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbps and DisplayPort*...

Got a big 32" monitor not IPS but VA which should be fine, took advantage of the awesome Costco deal I saw on slickdeals.net (HP Omen 32" Monitor, 2560x1440, 75 Hz VA panel, AMD FreeSync $299.99 ($274.99 with coupon). https://slickdeals.net/f/9418699
Thanks for the suggestions, do you guys think Samsung 960 pro m2 SSD is worth it over the Samsung 850 evo SSD? Or would there not be a noticeable performance difference for a casual user?

My brother (college student) is looking to get a new computer and I need some opinions on what he should get. He doesn't game at all and doesn't want a laptop, price needs to be around $1,000 or lower. He's been using an old 10 year old desktop that I threw an SSD in a year back but it's on its...
I'm hesistant to do that in case it causes issues down the road, the wireless still works on this Intel NUC without this wireless driver so it's not a huge deal. I always like to install all of the drivers for a computer even if the driver I'm trying to install is for something that is working...
Thanks for trying it out! I checked out that link you posted, that guy posted about this same issue on Oct 8th so it's been a known issue at least since then and Intel has yet to fix it.....that doesn't instill much hope in me :'(
I'm setting up an Intel NUC Kit NUC5i7RYH (http://www.amazon.com/Intel-NUC5i7RYH-Barebone-System-BOXNUC5I7RYH/dp/B00WAS1FX6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1446353662&sr=8-1&keywords=Intel%C2%AE+NUC+Kit+NUC5i7RYH) and installed Windows 10 64 bit onto it. I was able to install all the drivers from the...
So guys help me out, I'm going to be buying an Intel i7 NUC (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WAS1FX6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER) in a few days and it will be used as a general purpose computer, web surfing/office productivity software and so on. No 3D...
Thanks for responding, I think the i5 nuc will be fine for what she will use the computer for. I hope I'm right.
I don't think a heavy load will ever be put on the NUC for what she uses a computer for so probably won't have to worry too much about throttling.
I was looking at getting a...
Are there any solid barebone kits for ITX rigs like the Intel NUC's I posted where I can just add my own SSD/memory and install the OS and be good to go?
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'm still thinking about an Intel NUC like I posted in my OP. All the reviews say either the i5 or i7 NUC are fairly snappy computers. I know they just have a mobile processor and it's not the same as a desktop....but would the difference be that noticeable when...
Hmmm didn't think the mobile processor in the NUC's would be that much slower in real world performance for the tasks this PC will be doing. Good to know info, will a mobile processor really bog down that much doing general tasks on a PC like this computer will be used for?
There is no one...
Looking for a new computer for a friend, no gaming will be done on it, budget is $1,000 or less. It will mostly be used for productivity software like Microsoft Office/internet surfing/watching videos and so on, my friend wants it to be bitchin' fast since the computer is used extensively so a...
Thanks for the detailed response, going to look into a NUC on Newegg/Amazon that might be the best option for what she does. Small/very quiet/portable if she ever takes it somewhere.
Anybody have a solid NUC on Amazon/Newegg they can suggest? The one in the Anandtech review...
I know the the Corsair 750d is way more then she needs, any mid tower would be fine but the case selection on the cyberpower website had it as not much more then a mid tower Cosair, I think it was like $9 more. I'll probably just go with the mid tower so it's not so huge. Bluray drive was free...
She needs a computer that will be simple yet reliable and fast enough to be future proof for a number of years. I was trying to find her a Dell on the Costco.com website but they lack a SSD. I went straight to Dell.com to look at options but once you configure them with a SSD they are usually...
Requirements are stated.....I'm just trying to make sure she gets a kick ass computer for the money. Yeah, she could buy a $700 desktop at walmart and it would probably suit her needs but I was trying to get something more premium for her. Do you have any suggestions?
This computer will be less then the costco Dell I linked to once the changes have been made that were suggested in here. Hardly any of the standard computers on costco or other cheap ones you find in stores have a ssd which I think is a must have for any new computer. This computer once it's...
Thanks for the suggestions! I know the PSU was way more than needed but the price differences between them was hardly anything.
I can downgrade the processor but I wasn't sure how big the performance gap would be between an Intel® Core i3-6300 3.80GHz 4MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1151 (Skylake)...
Yeah, it's overkill for the intended purpose, but I'm trying to build her something that is blazing fast and will last for 5-10 years. I could drop the memory from 16GB down to 8gb that would save another $88, you don't think that would affect the performance of the computer that much then?
For the video card I'll probably knock it down to a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 2GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 that will bring the cost down another $100. She'll never play any advanced games. Do you have a suggestion for a CPU cooler and case? I wanted to go with decent CPU liquid cooler that is very quiet...
Hey guys, I haven't been active on this forum for a long time. I use to keep up with all the new hardware and news but work has kept me extremely busy the last few years, so as a result I really don't know what the the best computer parts are for the money nowadays so I'm hoping for suggestions...
I know Anandtech posted a review on the main site for the ZeroLemon GS4 extended battery a year ago (http://anandtech.com/show/7163/zerolemon-7500-mah-samsung-galaxy-s-4-extended-battery-review) and that was helpful to a lot of people so I wanted to post my experience with the Anker GS5 extended...
Trying to decide between the Eizo and the Dell P2414H which also got a pretty good review on tft central and it's only $220 on Amazon right now with 5 left in stock. I've always used IPS monitors for gaming and never really noticed blurring/ghosting that much so I'm not sure if it's worth $600...
If you don't have a smartphone with internet access and want to be able to access the internet on your laptop/tablet/whatever when your vacationing/on trips/etc I just wanted to share some info with those of you out there. I looked through all the carriers and after reading lots of info and...
You can't go wrong with the Dell u2412m, I bought it for my mother a few weeks ago when her monitor died, great screen. I think it's probably one of the best 24" monitors out there, I'm looking to buy a new monitor for myself as well. I've had 24" monitors for years and was thinking of making...
Trying to decide between the Dell and Auria. Newegg has the Dell U2713HM at $650 right now with a $50 Newegg gift card so essentially its $600. The Auria is $400 but if you buy it at Microcenter you'd have to pay tax of course so it's around $430 + I'd want to add another couple years of...
Looking to get a new monitor since my old one died and it's either going to be the Dell u2412m 24" 1920x1200 monitor, or the Auria 27" 2560 x 1440 one from Microcenter (has the same panel as the much more expensive Dell Ultrasharp display and Apple display). I've read through all the...
I'm in the same situation, looking to get a new monitor since my old one died and it's either going to be the Dell u2412m 24" 1920x1200 monitor, or one of the Korean ones with the much higher resolution but then you have to gamble on getting a good one and having warranty issues if it breaks...
Friend sent me a text, he is trying to find the 2007 draft video for Adrian Peterson (Vikings) 7th pick of 1st round OR a link to good video for the entire draft, I have searched every where and can't find either. Any master googlers on here that can find it for me?
He wants something like...
