| 1387041 | 2014-10-29 02:17:00 | If the mobo had a USB 3 header, you could get something like this off Ebay (www.ebay.com.au 3+front+panel&_nkw=usb+front+panel&_sacat=0) which inc a card reader | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1387043 | 2014-10-29 09:30:00 | Been tinkering around with parts, and I know this doesn't relate to the original subject entirely, but quick question: AC Unity specs were recently announced, with a minimum CPU requirement being the AMD FX 8350. Since I'm on a budget, would I be better off getting the FX 6300 and an aftermarket cooler and overclocking it to save myself ~$60? nz.pcpartpicker.com According to *the internet* I could achieve the same clock speeds by overclocking the FX 6300, which in theory should run AC Unity fine. Or is there some other magic in the FX 8350 that I'd be better off saving up the little bit extra for? Also, how do you think this build will hold up for all these big *shiny graphics* games coming out like The Witcher 3, Far Cry 4, GTA V etc, will it last me at least until the end of next year? I'm pretty sure it'll run Kerbal Space Program, Prison Architect and Goat Simulator fine :D, it's the big *shiny graphics* games I'm worried about. Thanks! |

| 1387044 | 2014-10-29 09:34:00 | Not sure. All I know is my HD5770 is starting to fail to cut it on recent games so I think it's time for an upgrade for me. Might pay to start a new thread specifically about this. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1387045 | 2014-10-29 10:01:00 | Just pick a motherboard that does have USB 3.0 headers - cheaper than buying an add on card. Like this one maybe nz.pcpartpicker.com there are other options also, but this one is even cheaper, has the same chipset, and is still a good brand. If you want to stick with asus or have support for the faster memory there's this nz.pcpartpicker.com USB 3.0 is well worth it if you like to copy files to external drives, the difference with a good USB 3.0 drive is huge. |

Yup I considered that Gigabyte motherboard, but what does the lack of UEFI support affect? For example, will I still be able to dual boot Win 8 and Ubuntu if I want to? Or SteamOS? SteamOS states somewhere that it needs UEFI support so might I be better with my original AMD pick? Thanks. Agent_24, thanks I'll start a new thread! |
