    FIRST BUILD - SKYLAKE DDR4 BUILD - Compatible parts? Advice?

    Sorry, I forgot to offer my suggestion. Without the assumption that the OP isn't on a budget, my first suggestion would be to get a better GPU right out of the gate, like a 980Ti. Beers' suggestions are fine otherwise. I just see no reason to offer less when the OP isn't asking for compromise...

    FIRST BUILD - SKYLAKE DDR4 BUILD - Compatible parts? Advice?

    I don't see anywhere in this thread or the first one he made that said he was on a budget.

    FIRST BUILD - SKYLAKE DDR4 BUILD - Compatible parts? Advice?

    "POWER SUPPLY (a bit overkill, but good for upgrading correct?):" He's aware that it's more than he needs.

    Microsoft Device Event!

    I don't really get the point of the laptop. Besides being slightly bigger than the Surface, it's pretty much the same with a keyboard attachment. They showed some augmented reality stuff, which looks neat. I think they are wasting their time trying to use video games as a selling point, though.

    issues with fan on computer (noise)

    If it only happens when the side panel is on, then unplug each fan and replace the panel, one at a time until the noise stops. That should tell you that the last fan you unplugged is the bad one.

    Modern KVM? ( Thunderbolt like solution for PC? )

    Oh sorry, I missed the "one display" part. Synergy lets you use a single keyboard/mouse across multiple machines and displays. So, a convention KVM switth is what you're looking for, but that's not what you want. Beers mentioned using remote desktop, which may be the best solution as the...

    Modern KVM? ( Thunderbolt like solution for PC? )

    So, by different LAN, you mean they are on different networks? You can use synergy to accomplish exactly what you want if both machines can see each other over the network.

    Man, Cromewell. I won't see you posting for months, but as soon as a programming question pops up, you're all over it.

    Lost VLC from context menus

    There's nothing wrong with it. Overtime it builds of dead registry keys and system files, but you can just clean those up with ccleaner.

    Which is more secure android or ios?

    It's pretty much true, if we are talking about non-jailbroken iPhones vs. non-rooted Android phones. Apple is pretty strict about apps they allow in the app store, so you are very unlikely to download anything malicious there. Android users, on the other hand, can install apps from any number of...

    Is 64 GB big enough for a USB flash drive I will be using to store 1080p movies?

    Are you going to be doing that a lot? You can probably hold around 30-40 movies on 128GB (at 1080p).

    Is 64 GB big enough for a USB flash drive I will be using to store 1080p movies?

    I feel like the word "stream" could easily be misinterpreted here. Basically, anything that you can plug the USB drive into to transfer the movie, could just as well read the movie straight off the USB drive.

    Is 64 GB big enough for a USB flash drive I will be using to store 1080p movies?

    I'd give it 10-16, depending on the movie file sizes. High speed doesn't really mean a whole lot. The files will transfer a bit faster, but it's not going to affect the video playback.

    How good is my computer?

    You are asking a very relative question. If it's doing what you want, then it's perfectly fine. If I had to rate it on your scale, I'd give it a 6/10. Since it's laptop, there isn't much to upgrade besides more RAM. There's no information about the graphics card, so I'm going to assume it is...

    Building up my computer into a gaming machine

    That setup should ideally run WoW at decent settings. If it's not, you do need to look into downloading your drivers from the manufacturer website. Also make sure your PC is using the dedicated GPU, and not the motherboard graphics.

    3/3 of my Win10 installs have been fine.

    Building up my computer into a gaming machine

    The hard drive you added, did it have Windows 8 already installed? If that's the case, I would re-install Windows. The drivers are going to be all messed up on that install.
