All of your components are great and would be my pick as well if I were building a new PC. Maybe I missed it but you didn't state what voltages you are using at stock and OC. That can make all the difference.
You can install WMC on Win 10, even on build 1511. I thought I had to make the same choice and stay with Win 8.1 Pro WMC on my HTPC but if done correctly, WMC works perfectly on Win 10. Of course nobody can guarantee that it will work forever but there is an active community dedicated to keep...
I would pick the Gigabyte, it has dual Ethernet (one Intel, one Killer), dual M.2 slots and better audio chipset (ALC1150 vs ALC892). The MSI board is overpriced compared to the Gigabyte.
They have matte screens. I got one for the wife since she had a glossy 24" Acer and she loves the LG. Plus I felt guilty having a curved Dell U3415W next to her. :)
Strange, I've had the opposite luck, my E8400 is still happily running at 4.2Ghz in my HTPC. I love my i5-3570 too but the E8400 had a much higher % overclock.
Wow, lot's of memories from these posts! For some reason I've never had good luck with AMD chips. They worked fine but they had no overclocking headroom compared to Intel chips. Started with a 486dx66 chip, K6-2 300, skipped AMD for several generations when the Cel 300A/ Pentium II were...
If you are looking for a gaming keyboard that is reasonably priced and back-lit I recommend the Logitech G110. If you are near Staples, you can get it for $34.99 after $20 coupon that is easily found online.
I'm showing my age but I've owned almost everything since Commodore 64 and later 386SX20. For some I've had bad luck with every AMD processor I've owned: K6-2 300, XP1600+, Athlon 64 3200+. None of them were even half-way decent overclockers. I skipped P4 altogether. The best overclockers...
I found that I had WHEA 19 errors when I run 3D Mark 11 and Prime 95, just had to bump the voltage a couple of notches and the errors disappeared. Oddly IBT and AIDA64 wouldn't trigger the errors. If I hadn't checked the event viewer I would have thought that I was 100% stable since I never...
I had stuttering (even when running Unigine) when I tried 301.34 and 301.40, had to go back to 301.24. My card default boosts to 1175 and that is enough for me, for now. :)
