Right under the power button.

Tell us your choices, it's fun to build and follow others builds.

Picked up a GTX 1080 today. I don't think I'll have time to install it until I return from my trip. I thought it was a prudent way to begin the upgrade path once again as it should give me the biggest boost. Currently have 780ti Classifieds in SLI.

I was 100% down for AMD till they confirmed no 2x16 PCIE lanes. Looks like I'm going to have to pay out the arse for an 8 core skylake this fall

Yeah no clue there, single cards only for me.



Rumors are the 8 core top end chip will be priced at/near the 7700K, like wait what? That is insane!

quote:

AMD told us that Ryzen will be priced below the Intel Core i7-6900K ($1000) and that it won’t be $999. Online rumors have put Ryzen at $350 and several people we spoke with at CES 2017 said that the flagship Ryzen processor will cost less than the Intel Core i7-7700K processor ($349.89 on Amazon) or be right around there depending on how final performance looks.




Might as well get the 8 core at that price instead of the 6 core, cuz why the frick not for the same price I'll get for my 7700K?

Just waiting on 3rd party benchmarks but it looks like they are going to kill price/performance.

Yep, I have been able to get my 7700K to 5.1GHz, it's been so fun tweaking that I really don't want to rid of it so Ryzen will need to have some strong real world benchmarks and great pricing for me to swap chips.

EVGA. I've been pretty loyal to their cards. I got the hybrid model.

Best customer service. Also the best looking air coolers IMO.

Although I have been on a MSI fanboy run ever since the Z77 MPower motherboard.

I'll probably pick up another one in a couple of weeks. My monitor is 4K so I think the second one is needed.

Then I'll probably upgrade everything else. Got the new build itch.

Two 780ti Classifieds on my desk if anyone has interest.

Oh no doubt. 1 of my XPs can't push 2160/60fps in most games. Yes if I turn off all the goodies but then i'll just be another consoler.

Just make sure you need a two slot bridge, that means two open slots between the bottom of your top card and the top of your bottom card, you might already know this but I did not.

I am building a virtual pinball machine and trying to think of some graphics to put on the side.

Any ideas?

South Park? Ghostbusters? Make a collage of stuff in photoshop?
