I like gigabyte, had 290x sent for rma and had no problems, card was secondhand and after swapping cooling unit to full cover waterblock (afc i've put original cooler back for rma). EU gigabyte service

Well I have too much power to be honest and it uses a lot of electricity, my ring runs i7 3770k@4,5 or 4,8 (dont ask i just like to play with bios alot), 16gb ddr3 2400mhz cl9, 290x 1250/6700 all cooled with custom liquid loop in custom pc case. At load cpu gets to 60 C and gpu 50C core 55C vrm1 58C vrm2 (run just now cinebench and heaven benchamrk for 15min). I work with ms office and big pdf's (3-5gb) and play wot, lol, diablo 3, titan fall 2 and i will play new quake chapions on 24' 60hz fhd monitor. . So as You see i dont need the power I just build this PC to...hmm to see if I can. Just got the idea cuz of like 50$ xeon buy (200$ new). Now I'm testing Not too bad i think

i can put another 40$ for total of 16gb if i see i need it

1151 c232 mobo - ~120$ - new 8 gb ddr4 2133 cl15 (xeon will not let me use faster ddr4 than 2133) - 40$ (ugly green pcb ;p) - used but 100% working my old cpu+mobo+ddr3 i can sell for like ~ 350$ in my country if i sell my gpu (290x) ~130$ = 480$ 480-160 = 320$ for new gpu msi rx480 or fury or we will see after rx5xx release cost free platform upgrade and no power loss

I see it's hard so again have PC - 3770k overclocked to 4.5ghz on z77 motherboard got cheap - xeon E3 1220 v5 should I a) stay with i7 3770k and z77 and sell xeon b) buy AsRock Fatal1ty E3V5 Performance Gaming/OC, DDR4 and sell old pc (cpu, mobo, ram) I don't know how to explayn it better...

Hi all I have 3770k oc to 4.5ghz stable on z77 sabertooth. Now i got E3-1220 v5 dirt cheap and i'm thinking. 1. should i buy Fatal1ty E3V5 Performance Gaming/OC some ddr4 and go with newer stuff 2. is it still poslible to oc xeon skylake on this board I'm using my PC for gaming and office work

Yes it was a long day...i swear it was 6700k when i was writing my post 4790k is better than 6600k coz i7 is better than i5...and yes for gaming to.

no it is not PooPotato For Your cpu gtx 970 is better as for today. AMD cpu's work better with nvidia gpu's. sry for site in Polish but graph tells it all - summary amd cpu / intel cpu / amd gpu / nvidia gpu http://www.purepc.pl/karty_graficzne/test_zestawow_core_i5_4460_vs_fx_8300_oraz_gtx_970_vs_r9_390?page=0,25
