Nice

Windows 7 in 2019 though

Works for me , and this is a 5 yr install with updates and hardware changes

Tried win 10 on my second machine and it didn't last two days , i'll stick to 7 until there's no more support for new devices

What speakers do you have there? I can’t read the logo.

Kef Q300 on my dedicated stereo system and Infinity Primus 5.0 for surround (i got rid of the 12" subwoofer)

Desktop widgets

Love them , i've been using since xp

Preciate it man. It's definitely my favorite build in 18 years of building my own systems.

Just trying to get a serviceable PC rig. Is this enough to run Apex Legends at 60+fps 1440p or nah. And how about the power supply and ram?

Do I need better cooling for the i7 maybe?

yeah i'll have to look at parts like this individually rather than buying straight from pc part picker. I notice Amazon has sales on the same PC parts all the time.

If it's not urgent I would wait a month. Computex is next week, and AMD is announcing their Ryzen lineup based on the new Zen 2 architecture. So you'll have the choice of either purchasing a previous generation Ryzen at a reduced price or save some extra dollars and build a more up to date system in a few weeks. Obviously tech is constantly shifting so you don't want to wait forever, but a month doesn't seem too bad if you don't need a new system right away.

Damn. I've only had this 2080ti for a few months. Nvidia gearing up to jack my pockets some more.

When I was talking about looking for deals earlier I'd recommed using this reddit sub つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Low prices take my energy つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

You can also set up IFTT alerts on your phone if you want. I was able to get a new monitor and keyboard but I'm waiting to see what next week bring before I order stuff for my build.

Ryzen 3 - Ryzen 9 3900x

Ryzen 9 part 2 with 16 cores

I want to see what Intel can do to counter this price to performance
