    Tried with Win Mig, AOMIE, EaseUs

    I don't use this kind of fancy easy to use interface software, I prefer to use Linux based cloning/backup software. But AOMIE, judging by their info on their site, should be capable to do the migration. Or you can use something like Redo Backup, an easy to use Linux based software with a very simple to understand GUI (graphical interface).

    Well, my C: is the only partition on that HDD, but I probably will buy a 500 GB anyway, leaves a bit of space if I decide to install a game there :)

    It all depends on what kind of software you are going to use for migration. You will probably end up with only the amount of GB that was your previous drive and you will need to extend your partition with the help of the windows disk manager tool.

    Ah, it usually comes with cloning software, good to know :)

     

    That probably means I replace one of my other HDDs with the SSD, clone my C: drive and do a switcheroo after the cloning process, right?

     

    Thanks for your reply!

     

    You don't clone only one primary/logical partition, you clone your entire HDD. But keep in mind that if you have a 250 GB HDD you will need your SDD to be 250 GB or greater too. And don't forget about enabling Trim before migrating.

    Thank you for the links. 

    There's a problem with both of them though

    The first one is already in the newest SKSE loader, and it can be tweaked with the SKSE.ini, which I already have done.

    I for some reason get an error message when trying to use ENB, it keeps complaining I'm missing a .dll file even though I have it. I will try it again though.

     

     

     

     

     

    About the Sounds of Skyrim as well, I crashed while I was trying to create a new character. Might've been due to the physic hair though.

    If you still have the error of missing *.dll and you are on Windows 10, install the DirectX from June 10, it will fix your problem.

  5. Ok, so there is more dialogue (good find by the way), so what does that mean exactly to what we are talking about?  Go back and look at how large the BSA files are for Skyrim for voices.......(hint: 1.42GB) and Fallout 3 (757MB).  So we are talking about what......3GB out of 30GB total?  Voices aren't the smoking gun that folks are thinking it is.

     

     

    The sound files are in separate BSA's and they clock in under a GB for Skyrim, FO3 and FNV, so nothing really changed there.  

     

    Interestingly, they didn't mention FNV in the above article......it clocks in at 1.52GB for voices (not counting any dlc)

     

    I'm guessing the bulk of the space is going to be unoptimized meshes and textures......again.

     

     

    You are forgetting the most important thing. Fallout 4 comes with fully voiced protagonist, male and female. So it's gonna be more then 3 GB of audio files, much more, around maybe 30-40% of all game's files.

  6.  

    quite taxing for outdated looking visuals don't you think ??

    I agree. And notice that a 64-bit OS is required. There were some people here who didn't believe me when I said that would be the case.

     

     

    Of course it will require 64 bit OS for more then 4 GB of ram and we have already 8 GB stated for minimum. Bethesda's first 64 bit game! Congrats.

  7. Your system is fine as it is. Sure you can upgrade many things, but I don't see the point. As about hitching you shouldn't have any, related to your GPU or your PC in general.

     

    What about my PSU? is that enough for the 980ti setup?

     

     

    Yes it's in range of 600 W, so your PSU has enough power to support it. Good news, EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Classified ACX 2.0+ will be just for 700$, very good price for an High End card.

  8. NVIDIA AIB partners just dropped the price on all Maxwell based Video Cards, so a GTX 980 Ti should be around 630$. Just go for an Evga GTX 980 Ti with 6 GB of Vram and you will be fine. With Windows 10 around the corner and a new WDDM 2.0 the card will perform even better.


     


    SLI is not bad, but the scaling is not 1.0 and sometimes it's not even working, you need to wait for new drivers. Knowing NVIDIA they can drop the optimization next year and you will be stuck with a single 3.5 GB Vram card. DirectX 12 has a feature that can use Vram from both cards, but developers will actually need to implement this feature for their games for you to benefit from it.

    Video card link is the same as the ram. Also will my PC parts work with these new ones though?

     

     

    I fixed the link in the main post and yes everything will work. But if you want to be 100% sure, that's what you can do: Go here and download the latest version of AIDA64 Extreme, extract the archive and launch "aida64.exe" then click on Report -> Next -> Hardware-related pages -> Next -> HTML -> Finish. Wait till the program generates the report Save To File, choose the location to save, for example Documents, give it a name or live it as Report, then Attach the generated file here to your post.

  10. As was stated before you can do a periodic upgrade. For start you can replace just 3 pieces: Ram, Video Card and Power Supply.


     


    Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1866


    Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 280X 3GB Vapor-X


    Power Supply: Corsair RM 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular


     


    All 3 pieces are very easy to install, just plug and play. You can find a video or just fallow the manual. Later you can upgrade your CPU and your Motherboard. With this 3 upgrades you'll be fine playing anything on High Settings and with the upcoming upgrade to Windows 10 your gaming experience will only improve.

  11. I actually don't see the point sacrificing the speed and performance for interior aesthetics. You need your computer to have the best performance and for modding just google for "Case Modding".

    The memory you chose it's 1.65 V

    What are the Intel® Core™ i7 desktop processor DDR3 memory voltage limitations?
    Intel® recommends using memory that adheres to the Jedec memory specification for DDR3 memory which is 1.5 volts, plus or minus 5%. Anything over this voltage can either damage the processor or significantly reduce the processor life span.

  12. If you are in only for gaming Dual Channel or Quad Channel it doesn't make any difference, you will not see any gain in performance. But if you are multitasking (big time) or may be working with some large files, there is a small performance gain with Quad Channel Memory. Also there is a difference between "Quad Channel" as performance and "Quad Channel Kit" - just 4 Bars of Memory that will work if installed in all 4 Slots as Dual Channel.


     


    In my opinion the motherboard you chose it's not worth the price I'll go with Asus Z-97 Pro  and G.Skill Ripjaws Z Series 16GB / G.Skill Ripjaws Z Series 16GB for the memory.


     


    I think ROG PG279Q from Asus as a monitor is far superior if you are willing to wait a little.


     


    For a water cooling solution you need to ask yourself what do you want in first place? Your own closed/open loop solution that will take care of all your hardware or just some custom solutions for different parts of your system.
