New PC build for Windows 7 - advice needed

DigDog, RussianSensation, thanks for your response! Didn't know that R5 is equipped with window. I'll take R4, then! Appreciated! I'm thinking of 16Gb. But the price difference for above SK Hynix 16Gb is affordable. As for 3000+ Mhz, I see two drawbacks: 1) I was strongly recommended to...

New PC build for Windows 7 - advice needed

Yeah, thanks, I'm considering that. The problem is, that I'd like to get SK Hynix/Samsung or Kingston RAM (Kingston only with SK Hynix chips). But according to Asus Pro Gaming QVL I don't see any 2666 and even 2400MHz 16Gb/8Gb RAM modules with Samsung/SK Hynix chips. Really wouldn't like to...

New PC build for Windows 7 - advice needed

After some considerations, including comparing 6700K to recent 6800K and 6850K Broadwell-e, as for now decided to go Skylake 6700K route. Also decided to avoid M.2 SSDs (if needed, will get it later as a second SSD). So, here's the first draft configuration. (I don't provide store link as all...

What features Windows 7 lacks for Skylake?

Thanks! Just want to make more unbiassed opinion on Windows 10. I might give Win 10 a try on VM but not as a primary system for near future.

NVIDIA Pascal Thread

Deders, Kithylin, thanks, for the clarification! That's what I've expected. The techie from a nearby PC store has tried to assure me that I have to buy 970/980 with Haswell. I've doubted it, but thought it has something to do with motherboard capacity required for 1070, but from your information...

NVIDIA Pascal Thread

1070's (FE) specs say it's based on PCI-e 3.0. So is it reasonable to buy the card for z97 chipset (i7 4790) with few PCI-e 3.0 lines? I've been configuring a new desktop and I was informed that 1070 on Haswell (z97) will not show all its capabilities. Could you please clear it up? It would be a...

What features Windows 7 lacks for Skylake?

Hi, haven't found the subject via forum search, so decided to ask you. What specific features for Intel Skylake are there in Windows 10 that Windows 7 lacks? I'm aware of Win 7's installation problems because of xCHI, but it can be resolved with the use of updates. Here I'm interested in...

New PC build for Windows 7 - advice needed

Thanks a lot for the advice, I'm considering various possibilities, will consider your suggestion. May be will give a try with 6600k, cheap MB and cheap SSD and then if ok with Win 7, resell it and buy i7. It's a pity that configuring PC has become much more complicated today than a few years...

New PC build for Windows 7 - advice needed

I'll definitely will have SATA DVD RW drive inside PC as I have Win 7-64 retail DVD. As for M.2 - I consider 950 Pro for videoediting mainly. Probably will use 850 Pro instead.. Actually I've just spoken to a guy tech(PC)-specialist nearby and he recommended to wait for KabyLake expected in...

New PC build for Windows 7 - advice needed

Thanks for the answers! Price drop for 970 is very small comparing performance increase. Thanks! I'll read on 2x16 modules. I'm sure I'm not using Win 10 in near future because: 1) Free upgrade will make my box Win 7 key into OEM OS license 2) Win 10 bugs and features - as...
