My EVGA Supernova NEX 750w Gold+ died about 3 weeks ago, well not fully dead but was causing my PC to hard freeze every about 20 minutes randomly. Was my fault, I completely forgot about the screen on the bottom of my case for the PSU and hadn't cleaned it in well over a year and it was caked so bad, definitely the cause.

Went with the top EVGA model this time the Supernova P2 Platinum 850W, no issues since.

Seems like PSU prices are a tad lower than they used to be.

How much did you pay for it? Are you still running SLI or Crossfire?

At least Nvidia cards have returned to normal (or even below normal in some cases).
DDR4 is down a little bit too.

The only difference I have seen is I have have video "stops" for half a second every few seconds. I doesn't happen in games only when I watch video. Youtubetv, VLC, any kind of video.

I'm thinking of "down grading" my 5960x to an 8700k. I can't stream anymore because Cox is the fricking worst, so I kinda want to go with the better gaming performance of the 8700k

ROG strix. It's been so long since I've last purchased a mobo and forgot how dumb some of them look.

I'm going to start getting purple/yellow color scheme to do an LSU build

They get worse every year.

Even 14yr olds hate them. Plus more lame red and black. Terrible.
