I don't like to use win or linux I really like your opinion guys, i'm pay right now a lot of money for a new house, so i can't spend a lot of money just for see.

sameh0 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 you can keep the ram and get GA-b75m-d3h for example . Or h61 chip moherboard . and of course the number one thing is to compress the HDDs so try to get two 4 TB . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
