Never mentioned running a custom loop in the original post but feels like you read my mind since I was thinking about doing a full custom loop this time. If i do go 12900k should I just go ddr5 at that point? I do know it costs exponentially more and there isnt much improvement but I can use the memory later down the road or is it not worth it?

The 140mm fan for exhaust will move more air than the 120mm. If you already have the 140mm fan to put in then you should replace the 120 with that. If you have to buy another one you can but it wouldn't make too much of a difference. Although doesn't the rog helios already have a 140mm fan installed in the back from the factory?

Hello all. I am planning on upgrading my processor and whole rig some time soon and need some suggestions on what to pick. I primarily do cad work and programming as well as game at 1440p and eventually 4k. I have looked at the 10th and 12th gen i9's specifically the 10900k and 12900k at and ryzen 7 and 9. I dont have a budget necessarily but want to pick the best overall option as I don't do frequent upgrades. So, do I go for 12th gen now or wait for Ryzen 7000 when that is supposed to come. Thanks for your input.

If you want to have your ram running at 3000mhz your going to have to get a z series chipset and not the lower priced b series. At that point its going to be expensive (dont know the cost of z series boards in india.) and I would just let it run at 2666mhz.

ahh yes other than the radeon pro lineup it was the last one made by amd and not a aib

Reading from what the Gigabyte website says: 1. Support for DDR4 2666/2400/2133 MHz memory modules https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/H310M-H-rev-10#sp

I mean... If you want to go ahead. It is the last dual gpu AMD made as far as Im sure of. I bought a 7990 just because it was a cool gpu. Its pretty pointless to buy to other than to have it imo but if you got money laying around do what you want.

Any recommendations on a monitor and should it be a 1440p or 1080p?

Im looking to upgrade my monitor setup from two old horrible tn 1080p monitors. I primarily focus on content creation and coding/development and game on the side. Any recommendations on whether i should continue with two 1080p's or look at a 1440p ultrawide or 2 1440s? My budget is around 350$ Edit: My rig is a i7-5820k and a gtx 1080

I was looking at it a bit, but do you think it can beat out a titan x (maxwell)?

I’ll probably snag one used then if it comes down to that then. Thanks

Sorry I didn’t specify it’s the titan maxwell stock cooler and yeah I’ll probally stick to the custom loop. So would the maxwell titan x still hold up today or is it better to go for the 10 series as I’m trying to step up to 1440p.

The rx580 seems more compelling than the 980ti which from what I’m seeing is still around the low 300s

Well I’m planning on building a custom loop along with the upgrade and have ordered some parts already. And I also ordered a reference stock cooler for the titan for 10$. Is it worth going for the titan x then?

I’m trying to replace my aging 770 as it is barely holding on to medium settings with today’s titles at 1080p. I’m wondering what to move onto next and venture into 1440p with most titles. I also do a fair amount of rendering and unreal engine. I have a friend selling a maxwell titan x with a ek block for 300$ is that a good choice or am I up the wrong tree. Any suggestions? Edit: my budget is around the sub 300 to 350 dollar mark and don’t want to spend much more.
