I've got that mouse, very good and accurate

I definitely do feel like one of the luckiest PC parts hunters in the world. I would have never been able to afford anything like this under normal circumstances. I am already set up for my next GPU upgrade which will probably be in a few years. 

Posting this in CPUs as that was the main thing I am exitedabout here. Since I got the platform alone for way less than MSRP, I am counting everything else as gravy. My Partner is thrilled with the deal too as the case, monitor (1440p 165hz IPS) and 3060Ti all went into her setup along with her existing i5 10400f. The juicy platform has already been moved to my PC along with a 6700 XT I grabbed for $230 around a year ago. Oh and BTW, I already have an NHD-15 on order and will only be using the hyper 212 for a few days while I wait on that. I gotta say it’s way faster than the i7 4770 I upgraded from, but I guess that is to be expected when you jump over a decade in CPU performance. Cinnebench R23 took minutes per render on my old CPU and now it takes seconds. I think I might have used up all my luck for this year, but my birthday was the other day and let me tell you, it was a good one because of this deal. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dang your cooking, im happy for you mate. 
What gpu would you plan to hookup.

Wow thats actually impressive, funny how you said you might have used up all your luck, Now you can rock games like never before. Whish i could get a beast like that someday.

GPU is under reccomendated GPU but should be fine, its above minimum. The problem I find is the CPU, minimum is an i5 6600k and i7 3770 is not better than that.https://www.hogwartslegacy.com/en-au/pc-specs

Probably low or medium-low. 

I think it's almost sure that you won't see a $250 card this year than can touch the 6700 XT's performance, and AMD is definitely where you want to go when cpu bound since their DX12 drivers have a lot less overhead than Nvidia's (funny because it was reversed on DX11). Though still I'd want to upgrade that cpu as soon as you can. I ran a Xeon E3-1231v3 which is virtually the same cpu as the i7-4770 and it bottlenecked even my GTX 1660 Super really hard in Elden Ring at 1080p to the point of getting slowdown, though that was at launch and maybe it's better now? Cyberpunk it bottlenecked my 1660 Super at 1080p to force me to turn crowds to medium for example. But for the most part it was still pretty solid for 60 fps gaming.
 
Still, a platform upgrade is really cheap right now if you have the money to do it too. Ryzen 5 5600 for $130 and a 2x16GB DDR4-3200 kit for $65 is ridiculously good value and would give you a nicely balanced system with a 6700 XT. And the 6700 XT is pretty nice for 1440p, loving using mine (but with an i5-12400F now) for gaming on a 4k monitor, usually using 1440p or 1800p FSR/RSR. Enormous upgrade that felt night and day better than the 1660 Super I was using before for 1080p gaming on that 4k monitor.

good price get the card regardless

Depend on game and game settings.
 
Guild Wars 2? LoL? Dota 2? CS:GO?
Huge bottleneck.
 
Atomic Heart? COH3? Hunt: Showdown? Kingdom Come? Forza Horizon 4/5?
Not so much especially at higher quality setting. 
 
Just get the 6700 XT if you think the card is in good condition. 

I was definitely not expecting a maximus vi to be your board thats for sure
 
Could you take a thaiphoon burner screenshot of all your different rams? Might be able to overclock them still, you are running quad rank so i wouldnt expect much more than 2400 even if you max out vccsa/io (1.45v)
 
Also whats the average price that your board and cpu go for locally? Might be worth selling them off and buying used ryzen instead, ddr4 8gb bare pcb 2133-2666 go <15$ nowadays even in indo so buying one with good ram ics such as micron rev e (d9vpp - c9bjz) or samsung k4a8g085wd (d die) and will do 4000+ with ease

^^^
btw what mobo and what rams? You can alleviate cpu bottleneck by overclocking
 
 
if you got a Z board then theres bclk and ram clocking
 
A B board just flash that to a Z board, same for Hx7 boards, if you use gigabyte you are out of luck cause no spi header
 
An Hx1 not sure, did get a z87m plus bios working on my h81m-e but dont got an unlocked cpu to test if i can raise multi

A huge bottleneck, making the 6700XT work as an RX 580. 
Do it if you're going to upgrade your platform soon. If not, spend the money on the platform first.

get the gpu anyways, 235 is the deal of a lifetime, like getting a 3080 for 400 bucks

it will be a massive bottleneck

This will depend a lot on what game you’re playing because a lot of games won’t have any issue with the 4770, though super cpu bound games will.
Cyberpunk 2077 as an example should see minimal impact from the 4770, it will hold the gpu back a little but nothing extreme.
CSGO you’re going to see the cpu pegged at 100% with the gpu barely doing anything.
 
As for how much it matters? Ehh, not a lot. If you get the performance you want out of the system you’re fine. And later you can upgrade to a new platform with a new cpu and ddr4 and an nvme SSD and all that stuff and have a more balanced experience. But for now if you’re just down to do the gpu upgrade, that’s a decent deal on that card.

Get the 3000mhz, 200£ isnt worth it for 200mhz extra stock speen when you can just overclock 3000mhz to 3200mhz, you can prob do higher like 3400 or 3600 if your imc can handle it

Just a theory, but I can see this. Vertical Sync turned off  = higher fps, but with higher CPU load. Underclocking CPU keeps it cooler and more stable and consistent to handle the extra load with Vertical Sync turned off. Likely the CPU was doing some moderate thermal throttling before being underclocked, explaining the FPS increase that came with the resulting cooler temps.

I opted for the 512 myself, mostly for the etched glare resistant glass 

They all need to work in the same socket with the same heat sinks so they make the IHS the same. Can you imagine if they had to make separate boards for budget skews (absolute mess)? Also all the CPUs are yawing the same LGA standard so it’s not like they can just magically not use some pins and be smaller on the bottom. 

Thanks man, reseated the ram and saw the gpu wasn’t seated properly. Hopefully that was the problem  

It is possible that a strong enough magnet could mess up internal components by physically moving them but a weak magnet should be fine I think assuming the heat sink is magically conductive.  

Probably a VRAM issue. Best first step is to carefully tare down the card and clean it and the heat sink thoroughly before applying new thermal paste and putting it back together. If that doesn’t work than your only real option without taking it to a professional is whipping out the heat gun and hoping for the best. I’ll link a video that goes more in depth on this.
