Hello Everyone. It is my first time here and my first time building a PC! OK, for background, and in case you wonder, I'm building a beast. My goal is to have mint (maybe ubuntu due to hw support) on one SSD disk and m$8.1 on the other, storage is also to be independent per OS. I'm looking for advice on: * Wireless: Unfortunately I'm most likely limited to wireless and I'm affraid about compatibility issues. I spotted TP-LINK Archer T8E AC1750, but would really like to hear your advice what wireless adapter to use! * Is this idea Ihave in mind possible: I mean, at boot time choose the harddrive and either run the distro or M$8.1... I would like to have this since it's going to be a computer for the family! * The build itself: Any doubts issues, advices regarding its ability to run a Linux distro. I'm open to changing distros... but would rather stick to something Debian based and n00b friendly since up until now I've just played around with GNU/Linux distros and worked on osx for a long time. * Anything else you think might be useful Here's a link to the build (sorry can't post a link): CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor (£289.99 @ Novatech) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 65.0 CFM CPU Cooler (£56.90 @ Amazon UK) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170M-D3H Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (£102.19 @ Kustom PCs) Memory: G.Skill TridentZ Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (£180.35 @ More Computers) Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£68.98 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£68.98 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£37.98 @ Novatech) Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£37.98 @ Novatech) Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card (£275.92 @ Aria PC) Case: Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV MicroATX Mini Tower Case (£96.50 @ Kustom PCs) Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer (£12.48 @ Ebuyer) Case Fan: Corsair Air Series SP120 High Performance Edition (2-Pack) 62.7 CFM 120mm Fans (£21.99 @ Amazon UK) Case Fan: Corsair Air Series SP120 High Performance Edition (2-Pack) 62.7 CFM 120mm Fans (£21.99 @ Amazon UK) Monitor: BenQ XL2430T 144Hz 24.0" Monitor (£272.20 @ Amazon UK) Total: £1544.43 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2016-04-13 13:18 BST+0100 Thxs
