Aniallation

Not really necessary since it's more than enough to sustain an i3 and a 270, plus the Source 210 gives it it's own intake air so ambient temp (weakness of the CX) isn't that big of an issue

Yes, it will run a 270 perfectly fine

270 is hands down the better performing card, but of course it does use more power and produce more heat than the 750Ti, which was designed to mainly focus on efficiency for easy OEM upgrades.

Sometimes the outlet may not be grounded properly, or sometimes the ground connection between the earth wire and the actual chassis of your PC and/or TV doesn't make good contact.

Are your PC and TV properly grounded?

The shittalk is real

Do dual 390s instead (given that your PSU can support it), and use the money you save towards a 4690K that you can overclock if you feel like it.

I sold it to a friend (really just to use for parts) for more than what I bought it for lol, I also needed to move on from the emotional attachment I was getting myself into with that thing.

What kinds of scratches and dents? If it's everyday parking lot scuffing, just take the money and put it into your pocket towards more useful things, it won't be worth getting it fixed when shortly later on it'll just end up looking the same again.

Auto, trying to go for a more comfortable ride. Looking to get an older Mazda B-Series or Nissan Hardbody to use for stick-driving and bed-hauling purposes.

Nope, 325xi sedan. No roof racks either lmao, everything's just strapped on to the roof using the interior handles.

So I'm back in an E46.... and I got beds to move.

That doesn't make sense but okay

Although the Skylake price difference is shrinking, it will still be more expensive for a while. Considering that you won't notice the performance difference anyways, IMO just save your money and stick with Haswell-R.

What's wrong with the cooler it comes with? It's not like it will be OC'd

What's the price difference between an H110 board + i3-6100 + DDR4 vs an H81 board + i3-4160 + DDR3?

CUDA rendering != SLI

What model of PSU is it?

Welcome! How about something like this? Very similar performance for less money.

Hyper 212 EVO or Cryorig H7 would be the best options for your money overall, but if you really need cheap, a Zalman CNPS5X will get the job done while being a lot quieter than the stock cooler.

BTW this list is a bit outdated and needs revising and updating, which will happen during winter break. Thanks for everyone's patience!
