Finished my first ever build. Wanted to thank everyone for their helpful advice. The build went about as smooth as a newb could probably ask for. Processor overclocked well and all stress tests were good. Haven't really tested it out with games yet due to my work schedule. Probably signing up for Origin Premier today and getting a few games off the Steam sale. Holding out for Prime Day for my second monitor and speaker system.

My only problem now is, I want build another one more than I actually want to use this one. I have the bug. Can anyone relate?

They are just Reds with a shorter actuation. I bet some o rings would make them pretty quiet.

Nvidia's new RTX stack

So nvidia is killing off the RTX 2070 and RTX 2080, just replacing them with the super editions. No price cuts. So the product stack will be:

RTX 2060 - $349
RTX 2060 Super - $399
RTX 2070 Super - $499
RTX 2080 Super - $699
RTX 2080 Ti - $999 3rd party or $1199 Founders Edition

Interesting choice but I guess I get not wanting to make a too crowded stack, a RTX 2070 for $449 would have been sweet though. Although I wonder if the 2060 Super would just be way too close performance wise.

Interested to see the microcenter prices for RTX 2070 and 2080s over the coming weeks/months
