I too got a g403 as replacement for my g700s, and I noticed the height difference, but the overall shape of the mouse made it almost feel bigger in my hands. It was strange - so far though I am rather pleased overall. To the OP, I would think you could transition to almost any current...

I'm definitely not anti-windows phone, or even remotely in love with Samsung... But I feel like you just described the Note 4.. Other than a top processor as the N4 is 'old' now, it has everything you described. I suppose the wireless charging requires you to buy a new back for it, but it'll...

Go easy on me... This is my first time trying to tidy cables, and to boot its all stuffed inside a Cooler Master Elite 110. First assembled; After cable management; I kind of wish I had gone with a Corsair 250D.. I might upgrade to that when I build my HTPC (currently using my old...

I picked the PSU because I've only ever used corsair for as long as I can remember, and it appears to be functioning well so far with my abuse. The AIO cooler I picked because I knew it would fit, and because a 140mm wouldn't. I read a few reviews and it seemed to fair decent. It was also...

I've been meaning to respond, but I got a little busy. I bought everything with a few changes mostly due to my wife having a few other requirements. [PCPartPicker part list](http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/FrFzsY) / [Price breakdown by merchant](http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/FrFzsY/by_merchant/)...

Heres the adjusted i5 build, reusing the psu and keyboard until a later date. Anything worth changing? Better bang for buck gpu? Is there a $100 value between the r9 280 and the r9 280x? Figured I'd look down a bit and found an MSI for $229. I was trying to stick in the 280x range as its...

Unfortunately, memory in Canada seems to be stuck at $100/8gb regardless of brand - thats what I've noticed over the last 2 years of browsing when I thought I could make a new rig lol Is it worth working towards 16gb of ram? I don't feel like I've ever come close to using my current 8gb of...

Honestly, the keyboard choice was because I wanted to try something other than my trusty Logitech, and the green looked killer in store imo. Although my color scheme is black/red... But anyways. I could hold off on the keyboard purchase to make room for the more expensive mechanical/backlit...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Primarily gaming, but my wife and I will also edit large amounts of photos in Lightroom. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? I was hoping for the $1500 (CND) mark, but I want to replace...

The ML150 does indeed use ECC memory, and at this time all I can really foresee is it being a storage/media serving/backup system - unless I get a little more adventurous. I'm planning a new build with an FX8320 to do most of my encoding/re-encoding and whatnot as well as my every day stuff, but...

Thanks, that's more or less all I was looking for. Short and sweet!

Now that I've been given the go ahead to replace my current system, I have another question that I've been thinking about for a little while now. For now all I'm looking to find out is what would be the more efficient setup to run as a server, I've got two to choose from; HP Proliant ML150...

I'm going to go with the FX build, the value just can't be beat for similiar performance. The wife may have also approved an earlier purchase date... Love it :D Thanks again from both of you :)

I was looking at that 212 Evo as an alternate to the Noctua, just havent gotten that far yet. Does the 4770 support HT? And if it does, does HT work as efficiently as 8 separate cores for tasks such as encoding and video/photo editing? Also, how much less power and heat are we looking at? My...

Sounds good, I'll talk things over with the wife but so far I think the deal is sealed.. I may end up paying slightly more since I'm going to buy everything thru memory express (its a 40 minute drive from my place) but I'll save the difference compared to shipping to my middle of nowhere...
