My next upgrade has to be my monitor. No telling when that will happen though.

Yeah I was looking at that one and the BenQ yesterday but just can't pull the trigger.
Really want one of the Samsung 4K's whenever they finally come out, was supposed to be a month ago, the UE850 and UE590.
Think at this point I will just wait on the monitor upgrade until late this year when surely there will be a lot more to choose from, supposed to be at least.
By that time I'll have my FuryX and 6600K and be looking to finish it off.

What kind of liquid should I get to refill my reservoir, I looked on the site and didn't see any for sale and tried searching but couldn't find what to use.

Looks like I can get $250 to $300 for my 3770k still and about $100 for my mobo. Thinking about selling it and upgrading but then Skylake is right around the corner.

Distilled water and either water wetter or pt nuke as a biocide. The former can be acquired at an auto parts store. I have pt nuke I could send you.
Just don't get suckered by the proprietary coolants. None of them are better than water.

I guess if you find the right buyer -- non-savvy person who wants to upgrade his CPU but doesn't want to change out his socket 1155 mobo. Like third-party mac upgrades from OWC, CPUs from 2-3 generations ago selling for retail. eBay is a haven for old parts priced at near retail. I sold a few old sticks of SO-DIMM DDR2 from a laptop I gutted a while back. Sold them on ebay for $15 each (2GB). Turns out the buyer was also a seller on the same account, and he turned around and sold them for close to $40 each.

hmmm.....I have four old desktops just sitting around taking up space.

So I just realized a problem, and thank god I did beforehand or I would be one pissed off guy next week.
The Fury X doesn't have a DVI port, only supports DisplayPort and HDMI.
My 1440p Korean monitor only has DVI.
Reddit seems to be telling me there isn't a converter than can do 1440p for anything under $100? Are you shitting me?

I didn't pay that much for it when I bought it from you

Who's ready for co-op Skyrim?
Posted on 6/19/15 at 10:03 pm to stout
I couldn't remember if you were the one that bought it from me
Posted on 6/19/15 at 10:44 pm to UltimateHog
Damn, I didn't notice that either. I guess DVI is going away with the advent of dynamic refresh.
It's true that they do need an active DisplayPort to DVI Dual Link adapter, but for 1440P 60Hz, they do not need the externally USB-powered ones that cost $70-100. This one for $15 from monoprice should work: LINK

Whew, good, I really didn't want to have to buy a new monitor too.
Posted on 6/20/15 at 3:06 pm to ILikeLSUToo
Well after reading it sounds like that adapter may actually come with the Fury X, but I ordered anyways for peace of mind.
Since you've probably done this before, any idea on what time NewEgg will actually make it available on their site? Should I pull an all nighter? Or will there be enough to not sell out? I'm putting my 290 on eBay shorty, so if I don't get one ordered Weds I'm screwed for awhile and that would suck...if they sell out everywhere.

Why not sell the 290 after you know you have a Fury secured? It's only $200.

No idea. Newegg starts sales at midnight sometimes, but they could just as easily make the Fury cards orderable at 11am the next day, and only have 6 of them available that day. It took me about a week to procure my 980s. I used NowInStock.net to get text alerts. You should check on it periodically and see if they add the Fury to their list. I'm sure they will. LINK
I would definitely stay vigilant if you want one the day or week of release. I have a feeling the relatively new HBM production is going to cause some supply issues.
