  1. Thanks for the replies. 1. I'm not saying I have an "unlimited" budget per say, but I want hardware that will get done what I need without a lot of compromises. 2. I have many use cases, along with gaming, I like to play around with unreal engine, I plan on doing some video editing also. 3. Time isn't of importance, my thought is if I'm not really gaining significant performance I can buy at EOL for less $$$ possibly. 4. I do not have a preference, I am more concerned with performance and reliability. 5. I don't think with the type of PC I plan on building that power consumption is a significant factor. 6. I love to overclock, if I can have a stable clock and get everything done while doing it, It will happen.
  2. I apologize for the "should I wait?" post. I haven't had a desktop PC for a while here and I want to build a high end PC for gaming, tinkering and everything inbetween. I recently started looking at hardware again and I believe AM4 is pretty much dead, as far as new CPU's so any advice? Should I wait for next generation? Should I consider Intel? I appreciate any opinions, advice or criticism.
  3. If this is true, it sounds exciting. What's a 5nm process going to do to heat concentration on the cpus? I'll be interested to see.
  4. Awesome! Aside from all the haters I loved my 8320! Im looking forward to this one!
  5. I may have found a decent deal on an I7 6700k combo, with a z170 board, that should be good right?
  6. I'm hoping thats the case, there isnt much out there in the HEDT market right now... ?
  7. What gpu's are you using with that cpu?
  8. I plan on getting a 3080 minimally when they become more readily available. Eventually I would Like 2 of them
  9. What about 3 if I end up delving that deep into this? Sorry, I have zero experience with multiple gpu's. Thanks
  10. I understand PPD of cpu's is negligible. Should I just grab whatever cpu/motherboard for a dedicated folding rig? I plan on running at least 2 gpu's on the build. Thanks in advance
  11. Honestly, I can't say I blame them. At the end of the day they need to make $$$. Its unfortunate for us gamers who are struggling to find gpu's. Even then bots and scalpers would probably still be causing issues for supply.
  12. Dust filtration will be huge, I also plan to run this 24/7. Great info, thank you
  13. I'm planning on a high budget for this one....wish Caselabs was still around. Thanks for these suggestions, I'll check them out. For as much as this is a great fit for what I'm looking for, I cannot support this company just on principle. Please don't take that as a criticism on your pick though. Thanks for the reply.
  14. I plan on starting a dedicated Folding @ Home pc build within the next few months. My biggest struggle, aside from finding any reasonable priced gpus, is finding a decent case. I will be using a custom loop on this build, I plan on having 2 x 360mm radiators. Can anyone suggest a case that will accommodate the radiators that I plan on using, and is enjoyable to work in? Thanks in advance
  15. Thanks for the welcome everyone! I'm excited to show off my dedicated folding rig build in the next 6 months
  16. I wanted to drop in and introduce myself. I'm another transplant from that other site, although not very active I did a lot of lurking, and the marketplace. Hope this site takes off, would be nice!
