Dumb question, but I'm about to pull the trigger on a 6tb hgst 7200 NAS drive. I won't be using NAS though. Can I just use it as a normal HDD?
edit: never mind. I was reading it can cause some problems. I guess I'm going to spend the extra $50 on a WD black 6tb 7200 rpm instead
edit 2: Just bought the WD black 7200 6tb HDD and a WD 6tb external. Now I can have everything installed and backed up
Saved like $300 too
Throwing the current 4tb into my other computer.

the xbox 1 elite controller is well worth it, if you don't mind spending $150. Best controller I've ever used.
If you don't want to spend that much, the x1 normal controller works just fine too (same with the 360 one, but I like the x1 one better)

both xbox and ps4 controllers work so whatever you prefer..
360 wired controller
Man, it's gonna take days (literally) to backup and transfer all my steam games to my new 6tb. Not looking forward to that 
I got a boy who just replaced his 970 with a 980TI since he got a new 4K TV. Dude doesn't know a thing about PC gaming aside from putting every setting on ultra 
Dude talking about he's still not really satisfied yet.
Dude thinks having more powerful GPU's in his PC means graphics will look better. I told him that the settings in each game being maxed out won't make a difference if he gets a better GPU. Having a game maxed out on a 970 will look exactly the same when you have a 980 TI in; only difference is performance but dude doesn't really "get" what I mean by framerate.
People like that need to stick to consoles. Just wasting their money chasing expensive parts not knowing how to actually use them.

tell him to set up an account here so we can clown him.
Pfft. His posts would be an incoherent mess. Lol
I have a 980 ti and a 4K TV. One 980 ti isn't enough to drive 4K at 60 fps. That's why I sold off my mini tix build and did a Skylake full atx build. when the 980 ti's successor comes out and the price drops I'll probably pick up a second.I got a boy who just replaced his 970 with a 980TI since he got a new 4K TV.

My two Titan Xs aren't enough for 4K 60fps, all ultra, in a lot of games too. The current gen cards just aren't there yet.
i need a good pair of wireless headphones for my PC.
i had the Sony Pulse Elites but they completely fell apart in under a year and the battery life was ass.
they also did not fit on my head well, they slid around too much.
i am currently using Sony Golds. the folding hinge on the left side broke recently (after about 9 months of use).
i was very gentle with my Golds and they still broke. i'm using tape and paper clips to keep them together.
i love the battery life on the Golds and they fit great.
i just need a sturdy set of cans that are wireless and won't fall apart...built in mic preferably.

Astro A50s are the best in my opinion. Been rocking them for years. Kinda pricey though
