I remember the noise from my 290s made me quit mmining until I got some 7870 Tahitis and 7870 Ghz editions for mining.

I've been debating on whether I should build a PC to transition from the original PS4 to have better framerate while playing FPS and finally decided to pull the trigger. The PC components have been extremely hard to find in stock, but my local MicroCenter had a bunch of stuff come in today and I decided to go for it.

Wasn't sure what to get for the GPU. Originally thought about the 1660S, but didn't think that was going to be enough of an improvement or future proofed. Settled on the 2060 KO Ultra, but it wasn't in stock so I had to upgrade a bit....
