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.

You see it would be great but the over due it with the shielding.

Everything should be only 90 and 45 degree angles too.

What is everyone playing? I played nothing all year but FC5 on PC. That was only for amonth or so.

2018 has been dominated by my PS and now Switch with Mario Party.

Old PS1 games through emulation. Got a i5 8400 with 16GB of DDR4 and a 1080 Ti and that's what I play 99% of the time.

Dude I have 2xTITAN X Pascals and an 2080Ti on order and I play nothing.

PC gaming doesn't have the tiles which kept me there. I play more PS4 and Switch now. It is kind frustrating.

Edt: Emulation with that much gpu is nice right? You can make those old games look great.

I'm not getting Red Dead. I want devote myself to FO76. So first PC I will play in like 10months.

Nah, I only software emulate PS1 games through Beetle PSX on RetroArch in a 640x480 window.
Gamecube games look AMAZING though.
