Just base MSI 980 Ti. Has never ran on air, so highest temps seen was 44-46C during Witcher 3. Has custom firmware so you can OC higher. I had 2 of them but never sold my 2nd one of eBay. Running TITAN XPs now.
Can hand deliver in the BR area like we are doing a drug deal or can drive to my house in Thibodaux.
It is about 40 % faster than a 1060.

So Since the flood wiped out my PC
How much water did you get? Right before I evacuated, I ripped mine from all the cords and threw it on the bed. Figured the PC would be the least of my worries if the water got that high.

We got around 12inches. I got the data drives though, I at least had enough foresight to grab that and my externals so all good there. My PC was stationed in our kitchen in a corner desk just barely off the floor which is why much of the components were ruined.
--Coyote--Thank you very much for the offer but I am going to pass. The idea of a card that is more energy efficient and brand new is more appealing to me after looking over all factors.
eta : I really did not plan on overclocking at all. I am not a water cooled guy. Could you elaborate on if you would suggest the unlocked one if I am not going to overclock it and, what are the gaming advantages for the AMD Ryzen sku's ?

None as of now.

I agree with new Arch. You will get driver support for longer but the 1060 is a pretty weak card moving forward. Maybe look into spending just a little more if you do ever plan on getting a 1440 or 2160 monitor. If the deal is to stick with 1080 you will be fine.

Right now I am firmly planted in the 1080p market where a casual should be 
From everything I have been able to read on benches for the card in that resolutions it offers outstanding performance and should be able to do so for quite some time..And then I will get that next "mid range card" that can play 1440P games with no sweat..heck maybe even 4k games by then..What has really pushed me away from that resolution is the expense of quality monitors at that resolution.. When that price comes down , it will open flood gates to casuals I think.
Do you see any potential bottlenecks with the ram/CPU/HDD/GPU I have selected for gaming at 1080p ?

This is highly subjective. Depending what you actually want to see in terms of eye candy can serious limit the performance and quality. Rendering you no better than a console gamer.

Goldman Sachs Snaps Up $613 Million Worth Of AMD Stock
Now we know UH's employer. He must have advised the move.
When is VEGAs release? It is interesting this purchased the stock not right after 1080Ti NDAs lifted. Very interesting and could say something about VEGAs performance.

It's for Naples, AMD is apparently crushing benchmarks on the server side of things and partnered with Microsoft Cloud the other day.
AMD stock projection is 25/share by years end, that's when I cash out.

Microsoft is doing everything they can to move away from Intel.
Edt: well that isn't totally true. Really are just supporting every platform with more resources to prepare for the future.

Great updated review from anandtech on Ryzen today, listing all the Microsoft issues currently being fixed, and upgrading it to their recommended award.
Windows scheduler issues and CCX issues is causing Windows to think Ryzen is two 4c/8t CPUs not one 8c/16t.
Gonna grab a 1700X upgrade when the Windows patch hits, they said within a month they hope.
List of the current caveats AnandTech is aware of:

Windows 10 RTC disliking 0.25x multipliers, causing timing issues,
Software not reading L3 properly (thinking each core has 8MB of L3, rather than 2MB/core),
Latency within a CCX being regular, but across CCX boundaries having limited bandwidth,
Static partitioning methods being used shows performance gains when SMT is disabled,
Ryzen showing performance gains with faster memory, more so than expected,
Gaming Performance, particularly towards 240 Hz gaming, is being questioned,
Microsoft’s scheduler not understanding the different CCX core-to-core latencies,
Windows not scheduling threads within a CCX before moving onto the next CCX

Are they good again?
I quit reading Anandtech after Anand left for Apple. They really struggled finding what to focus on for awhile. I remember them being the first ones to really do deep technical reviews on smartphones. Lately it has been PCPer for me.

No they're still terrible. Moreso surprised they updated it, was very slanted initially.

Getting the pup started on computers early.

Looks like I am rebuilding a little bit earlier than I wanted, lost my mobo sometime this week.
Gonna pick a 7700k while I am at it and say bye bye to the 4770k. What's out there that is good so far in mobo land?
Gonna snag a 1080ti once I see the version I want as well.

That Aussie is adorable. I'm hoping to get a Blue Merle soon

Even as it stands right now, the 1700X is a noticeable upgrade over my old 4770K in at least BF4, BF1, and Fallout 4 at 600 less MHz.
Posted on 3/12/17 at 10:10 pm to TigerRagAndrew
For sure, will only get better here soon as well.
As soon as the patches hit and mobos are in stock with a few bios updates, I'll be selling my 7700K for a 1700X.
