Folks, I've recently engaged in the task of sourcing all the parts to build my first PC with the help of some good guys on here that made that challenge fun for a complete noob to this world. Next I would like help to choose a monitor to complete the whole build. I am trying to stick to a...

LOL....yes and well deserved!! Already read the guide, its was an excellent read. I've also been watching alot of builds and tutorials on youtube but I'm sure I'll be back.

Ya it was kind of what was holding me up on pulling the trigger on the rest of the components. I actually just purchased everything else from NCIX since MX didnt have the GTX 1060 Xtreme as mentioned above plus i didn't qualify for the $8.99 shipping either due to location, they wanted $48. NCIX...

Just purchased one of the two remaining 950PRO SSd's from the MX store in Winnipeg, they dont usually mail parts out directly but I pleaded with the manager and he agreed to send it. feeling pumped lol. Now I just need to get decide between the GTX 1060 Windforce or Xtreme, MX dont have the...

Ok...perfect another point to consider. Thanks once again folks, its been a steep learning curve here the past few days and I must say its been fun and even exciting. As I told a guy once who asked me, "where do you learn how to do all the crap you do"....my response was that anyone who owns a...

I will be doing a fresh new install of Windows 10 so I would just buy the key for it....$32 CDN. I a still using Vista on my Dell so no upgrade from that I guess.

Way off topic now but is there similar methods to purchase software such as MS office and Autocad at discounted prices. My current legit copies are 2007 versions.

Right.....so I guess the key is cheaper though places like kinguin.net than direct from Microsoft.....but there's got to be a catch somewhere. Cant see MS allowing that to happen. If I'm going to buy this key somewhere else and have warnings and other irritating things happen later then I'd just...

LOL...understood.

Ok guess I'm not understanding something here as well. I thought you could download Win 10 from a trusted and legit site for free but then had to purchase a key from a place such as kinguin.net . At least it seems that way from some of the youtube videos I've watched. So whats included in for...

Ok perfect, will take a look.

Ok....well maybe I will remove the Windows 10 from my cart on MX

Folks, on a slightly different topic but has anyone ever used the following website to purchase software and OS's. Apparently they are legit which is why I am asking here. https://www.kinguin.net/

What I meant above is what new model is the replacement for the outgoing 950PRO.

Guys, just reading up on these SSD's and noticed that the MB must support NVMe interface, does the Asus Z170-E that was chosen in this build support that ?

All good comments folks, but one statement above stands out and that is I dont want to be installing all this stuff twice. So what will be the comparable unit to the 950PRO 256 GB. Is it the 960EVO?

Oh i dont want to pay the $19 for shipping but the alternative is not having it at all or pay alot more the 512GB......or maybe even more for the new 960's

Ya true however the new 960 256GB version will probably cost more than the 950 512GB units still available. Will a unit in Australia work, this seller has two left...

Ya i wait....if not its decision time on the 512 GB one I guess.....and there are only two of those left in Canada that I can see. Ya not a big fan of ebay either but I have bought alot of stuff one there all the same.

OK understood. Man I missed the boat on the 950Pro. It does look like the MX store in Winnipeg has two left but they it doesn't appear they can be purchased online. I've sent them an email but no response. I wonder can i buy this in the US somewhere. A seller on ebay in the US has one but only...
