What are you going with this monitor? Like is it for mostly work?

IGN Rating 10/10

Linus makes more then enough money if he wanted a new car, he'd get a new car. End of story.

inb4 u need an ssd. i do recommend one.. but up to you fam.

*taps temple* up here youngling, up here. I use a Hexadecimal password for the encryption.

I use an excel spreadsheet that is encrypted on a 8GB thumb drive that only ever gets plugged into my windows 95 machine that hasn't seen the internet since it's last format in 2001.

I got called into work. So it was convenient timing. Another thing about being called into work that was convenient was that I could then download a bunch of new video games i bought with my tax refund...

Yeah well the world doesn't revolve around you.

If you can get it used for cheap from some source of you're own then go for it. Though the strength of those cores is no where near that of today's CPU's. I was just assuming you'd be buying the parts from eBay or similar, where you wont find dual socket LGA 1366 Motherboard for less than $500... Well the decent ones anyway.

I wouldn't suggest investing in such an old platform. Also you'd be looking at an extensive cost due to the age of the motherboard as they no longer make them. EDIT: For content creation and gaming get a decent 2011-3 i7, and a good video card.

dat clickbait title doe

You realize like 200% of everything Nicky V says is for shits and giggles right.

I just bought a EVGA 220-G2-0850-XR 850W 80+ Gold PSU.

I'll be uploading tomorrow or the next day. Yeah I plan to get the PCIe one.

Hey guys, I though I should maybe do a new build log, mostly out of boredom and need for something to do. So here goes, Most of the parts have been bought over the last 9 months, with some being carried over from my last build. I'll include prices paid in CAD dollars, and a little rationale behind each part. Most parts were bought at launch thus they cost a fucking fortune, that mixed with the fact i live in the middle of nowhere. So here goes, pictures will come later when i update. Processor: Intel Core i7-4790K: I paid about $445 + Tax (13%!) roughly $500 CAD. Kinda wish in this price range i'd have bought a 5820K, though when i bought this i don't recall if the 5820K was out yet... I don't think it was. I bought this, because what I do needs the hyperthreading vs. just grabbing the 4690K. I can't stand i5's. They don't preform well enough for all of the multi-tasking I do. CPU Cooler: Corsair H100I with 4xSP120 high performance fans. With the fans this thing costs about $180 Tax included. This is the oldest part i actually own right now that's in this rig. It's one of the very first parts I bought for my first rig, I'm looking to upgrade to the H100I GTX soon Not due to performance or anything, more so because i like the sleeved tubes of the H100I GTX. I'm looking at the H100I GTX rather than the H110 GT or GTX because I can still use my jet turbine fans, instead of spending another 60 bucks on fans. Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H-BK: This bad boy cost about $260, The reason behind this part... Kinda silly, but it was the best featured, high end motherboard the Canada Computers in my area had. I love this board. Memory: Corsair Vengeance Silver 16GB Kit 2x8GB 1866Mhz RAM CL9. I spent about $140 on this kit a few months ago and love it. The cheaper brother to the Corsair Dominator Platinums. Graphics Card: I just swapped this out, I have an ASUS GTX 690. However sold that to a member on the forums a few weeks ago, and just purchased an EVGA GTX 980 ACX 2.0. I spent $750 with shipping and tax, it should be here tomorrow or the next day. I can’t wait. Storage: I currently have a weird storage config. I have a 256GB MX100 SSD as a boot drive, that will be getting swapped to storage soon when I gather the funds to afford a Intel 750 400GB. That’s a story for another day though. It cost about $140 on sale. I also have a 2TB WD RED 7200RPM Drive that i’ve had forever, I spent about $110 on that. I also have a D-Link DNS 320L that has 2x2TB 7200RPM Seagate Barracudas in it for my network storage. Total cost on the NAS: $300. Power Supply: I currently have a Corsair HX1050, paid about $250, however the screw mounts are stripped to shit and stretched so I need to get a new PSU, because I can’t stand ghetto mounting things. I’m trying to decide on what to get, drop some opinions below. Case: I have a Corsair 900D sitting in the closet just yearning to get used for this build. It was used for my original build. I paid a whopping $500 for this case, and in that price range I wished I had gone with a Caselabs case… Ugh live and learn I guess. Next would be I guess my peripherals, I have quite a wide variety of peripherals. I’ll just list them with prices that I paid next to them, as well as simple specs so you guys wont have to look them up if you’re curious. Monitors: Acer P236HL, 23”, 1920x1080, 60hz, 16:9, 5Ms Response time. - $150 ASUS VH222H, 21.5”, 1920x1080, 60hz, 16:9, 5Ms Response time. $70 - Garage sale BenQ RL2455HM, 24”, 1920x1080, 60hz, 16:9, 1Ms Response time. $260 Keyboard: Logitech G710+ Cherry MX Brown Keyboard $130 Mice: CM Strom Sentinel Advance II 8200Dpi, $60 Logitech Performance MX $150 - Soon to be swapped with an MX Master Mic: Blue Yeti $150 Mousepad: Steel Series QcK $15 Headphones: Bose QC15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones. Free - Gift. So what my setup consists of. In it’s current state, it’s cost me about 4 grand Canadian. Some justification behind all that before someone says well you could have done much better for 4K. I know. I know. However most of the parts are reused from my original builds. It’s not finished yet, and probably never will be. I’ll be re-building it as it’s all boxed up on my desk right now. When my new GPU comes in so look forward to that. I’ll also be adding a few parts as the journey progress’s, and perhaps a 4K or 1440 144hz monitor. Haven’t decided yet. Thanks for reading! Also feel free to ask any questions you may have!

Nice build!

I just bought a brand new BenQ RL2455HM 1920x1080 60hz 1ms monitor. To go with my brand new 980.

900 euros? Do it! Do it NOW!

Hi OP. I see you're from greece. That will make selling your computer locally difficult due to the economic situation there. I'd suggest selling out of country on eBay. Your best bet is to part out.

I just bought an EVGA GTX 980 ACX 2.0.

For sure.
