Well, the G3258 and H97 board are easily the best purchase in quite a while.
In my HTPC, it's MUCH faster, cooler and quieter than the old E6500 and seems to equal the speed of the QX9650.
It was a mostly trouble-free installation with the only major problem being the bluetooth keyboard not wanting to connect. It may be a coincidence, but it finally connected after I turned off all the other bluetooth devices in the house.
There was a problem with Windows 10 so I just went with Windows 7. I may try Windows 10 again in the future.
Got a third monitor for my main PC (the one on the left).
Dell Ultrasharp U2412M.
Now I can look at far too many things at once!
The tricky part is getting it to hover
In the photo I have the same thing on the left monitor and the right just because I needed something dark on the screen so that the photo wasn't washed out.
Great set up Lava King ! I wish I had real-estate for a third monitor!
Steve I hope you're taking lots of pictures of your new build cause I'm die'g to see that new ASUS X99 all dressed up !
Great looking setup Lava King
Yesterday I finally bought one of these the ASUS GTX 970 STRIX OC4GB3.5GB cost me $500 I know I know but the GTX 980 cost over $700+ here and yes that's the price I had to pay for the shipping, taxes and stuff to Pakistan anyways this is something we can't do much about it...
Previously I used the GALAX GTX 970 EXOC BLACK EDITION for couple of days which I sent back for replacement and had trouble with the online store and I opted out for full refund. The Galax card was nicely built but honestly it wasn't even near to the build quality of this card!! and trust me it is a very big card just take a look at thebackI/O plate and you will have the idea.. it's almost 11" and something like this long...
