Why not wait till Monday when Coffee Lake gets released?
>>
>>61992917
Don't buy that evga version of the 1080 they have serious cooling problems (Google it) i had to return mine. Get the ftw instead
>>
>>61992943

but mine is already built, i don't need any help

>>61992959

because if kaby lake and ryzen have taught me anything, it's that it's better to just buy tech today rather than wait for release then endure months of teething issues

>>61992967

already installed and gaming. it hits 55-60 under load. the twin fans are loud though
>>
>>61992984
Return it while you can. It will start coil whining in some weeks and you'll be getting about 70 degrees with 100% fans under load. Those cards lack thermal pads on the vrm's and start breaking pretty fast. Just Google it and you'll see.
>>
>>61993013

honestly it coil whined the first few times i played at ultra, but now it doesn't make a noise

it might bite me in the future but for now it's fine
>>
>>61992984
>it hits 55-60 under load
EVGA had VRM temperature issues, not core temperature issues. 55-60C core means nothing, though I believe newer card revisions should be fixed and perfectly fine anyway.
>>
>>61993253

is there any way that i can monitor VRM?

i've got twin 140mm fans bringing in ambient air, would that help?
>>
>buying a generation old quad core when the entire market is moving to 6 cores
Just buy Ryzen if you don't want to wait for coffee lake.
>>
Coffee lake doesn't release on Monday it's just an announcement
>>
>>61993373
And take worse single core performance when only a handful of programs and games have moved to 5+ cores? No
>>
>>61995921
In that case continue being an Intel cuck.

I've purchased/own some of the parts already from previous build.
The fixed prices is from looking at the lowest price from 1-3 months.
What should I change?
What I'm not sure of is the Motherboard brand and tower. I really need a new tower because this one doesn't have a good airflow.
>>
>>61996099
This is how you find shitters who only play new AAA garbage games. Intel is best for playing older(better) games when multi threading was unheard of in games. If a game is properly multithreaded they are ALWAYS GPU bound anyways, making the Ryzen fucking pointless.
>>
>>61996135
>34 inch 1080p UW

It will look like absolute dogshit. And the 1080 ti is overkill for that.
>>
>>61996216
But anon I got it for Christmas and its ok so far especially for movies and porn. Should I change motherboard and tower?

This is my current build. Over a year old by now.
>>
>>61996192
I barely play any video games nowadays because my shitty i5 stutters like mad (on even Dota 2). Buying 4 core CPU in current year just because it's only good for one fucking thing is a stupid decision.

>>61992917

kek, is this fucking retard serious?

>Not even getting a 7700K
stopped reading here, it's shit
>>
>>61992917
If you have and want to spend money go ahead. if you don't however, you don't need an i7, overclocking is a meme and you wouldn't need it with a core i7 anyway if you're planning to play at anything more than 1080p, why would you get a GTX 1080 but a 1080p 60hz monitor? If you're gonna spend that much money on a build you might as well buy a core i5 instead along with a 1080ti and a 4k monitor.

Working on a comp as well.

Gonna wait until early September though for CoffeeLake and Vega 56 to be really available.

I have two SSDs I can salvage from my current rig but that's about it.

>>61992917
Retarded motherboard, shitty SSD
Buy an ASRock Z270 Extreme4 and a 960 Evo or Pro
The 6700K is a good choice, pick a Z270 anyway, you get more PCIe lanes, and motherboards are better
But imho if you're planning to just use a GPU and no other PCIe cards, and you don't need Thunderbolt nor mATX/mITX motherboards, you should go with a Ryzen build

>>61996631
>Preferring 7700K housefire edition to the 6700K master race
You really are retarded, aren't you?
>>
>>61996235

how do you like the 6core intel? i was about to go with one of those but the motherboard price was too much to justify
>>
>>61996947

>retarded motherboard
hardly, this mobo is awesome

>shitty SSD
considering how cheap it was, and i still get awesome boot times, i think it was worth the money

and how can i get more PCIe lanes than the CPU has to offer?
