Yeah, I am upgrading the whole setup. I recently got new RAM(I used to have 8gb) and now I am preparing to get new PSU, because the current one is not working well. And the CPU... As I mentioned, I sit at home most of time, studying, not earning money, so it gotta be step by step and I thought that CPU still does the work, so it can wait. btw. Thanks for your response. 😉

revisiting old vids of linus....this is comedy gold!

I have 3 machines with tempered side panels with zero issues. Never had one breaking on me. If it breaks, its usually from mishandling. Just treat them with care, and they will respond. 

You can use either 2 or 4 sticks and both will run in dual channel. But of course you can achieve much higher capacity with 4 DIMMs. And then there's also the conversation of dual and single rank, but that's another story worth a 2 hour rambling video.
 
Most people are fine with 2x 8GB DIMMs for a total of 16GB.

Channels and DIMM slots are different. 
 
On a dual channel board with 4 slots, there are two slots per channel.

My recent upgrade also involved a loop rebuild, during which pretty much overhauled the entire loop. My old loop used deionized with a silver kill coil, and I never had any real issues with it worth mentioning - coolant stayed clean and temps were good.
 
- EK ROG CH8 Dark Hero Monoblock (new)
- EK Monarch X4 RAM blocks (reused but with full disassembly cleaning)
- EK 6900XT full-cover block (new)
- Alphacool NexXxos UT60 480 RAD (reused, thorough flushed, left to dry fully before being refilled)
- Primochill RSX Fittings
- Primochill Res (new 360mm, forgot exact model)
- D5 pump
 
With the rebuild, I moved from colored tubing and water to clear tubing and colored water. I'm definitely one of the "water is best" people, but I thought "hey, how bad can it be? plenty of youtubers use coolant," and went with a gallon of Primochill True Opaque in pink. Man was I wrong. Within 15 days I've been getting this white frost-like sediment that clings to the tubes and the "opaque" coolant is becoming visibly less opaque by the day.
 
And before anyone asks, no I am not mixing metals, at least nothing really bad. Nickel and copper in this loop, no aluminum. Primochill also advertises this coolant as corrosion and sludge inhibiting. The kill coil was also removed.
 
Pictures speak for themselves:

If you mix memory, your face will end up looking like James' avatar.

Should be but that is about where I would stop with that psu.

not sure if legendary but i do miss those old school GPU designs 
ATI 4870 x2
 

295x2 isn't legendary... neither is the Titan IMO.

Depends on the games you want to stream.. simple things you may be able to do, but more demanding titles absolutely not. 

I was going to build it myself, but this was only 1000 euro on black Friday from a trusted shop.
 
CPU : i5 9400F  with stock cooler (i will upgrade it to the noctua NH- U9s)
MOBO : Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Master
RAM : 4x8 Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400 mhz
STORAGE : 240gb SSD & 1tb HDD (planning on upgrading to a samsung 970 evo 500gb)
VIDEO CARD : Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 5700 XT
CASE : Pre- built idk looks good though
POWER SUPPLY : Sharkoon 735W 80plus Bronze
CASE FANS : 2 rgb 120mm (planning on adding 2 corsair rgb fans)
MONITOR : Samsung jg56 27" 1440P 144hz (100% recommended)
KEYBOARD : Razer Huntsman opto- mechanical switches
MOUSE : Razer Deathadder Elite (I recommend it)
MOUSEPAD : Razer Goliathus Chroma
HEADPHONES : Razer Kraken X
CAMERA :

D'oh, you're right. For whatever reason I read Gigabit but my brain registered it as Gigabyte. Haven't had my morning coffee yet (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it)

No.
 
Gigabit ethernet is 1gbps or 125 MB/s 
 
1 pci-e lane is : 
pci-e 1.0 is 250 MB/s 
pci-e 2.0 is 500 MB/s
pci-e 3.0 is 985 MB/s 
pci-e 4.0 is 2 x 985 MB/s 
 
So even the most ancient, slowest pci-e x1 slot would have twice as much bandwidth as a gigabit network card would need.
 
Even on old PCI, it wasn't really a big deal.  Standard PCI 32 bit 33 Mhz had a maximum of 133 MB/s shared between all PCI devices. You could still get 110-120 MB/s just fine.

i would estimate around 1100-1200 dollars for the whole setup but i wouldnt recommend the rtx 2070 super as the 3060 ti gives better value for money than this card once stock is actually eased/back

🤪 This is weird to me.
Why would I come to this forum if I wanted to be seen?
I got a face and look that will make you throw your camera away. 😄
If I was photogenic I'd be on facebook with everyone else and the pretty people.
If I was pretty, heck I might even have a struggling poser video channel. 🤩
 
I'd rather hang out here with the Linus crowd and just talk with people. 🙂
😜

Most flattering pic I could find of myself.

Hey y'all - this is a thread for all members, new and old, to post a picture or two of what they actually look like while not on the interwebs. 
 
Feel free to comment (respectfully) on photos, but please keep it on topic or else this topic be removed.
 
Anywho, as stated before, post a pic or two! Have a great day .

I'll start - this is my sister and I before a hellish hike, about a month ago.

Seems like a weird correlation, and not the problem.
 
You really can't kill a drive that fast no matter what you do.

Took a trip to Micro Center today. Needed to get some thumb drives for when I move files around or make a Windows installation media drive; time to move away from the Windows install discs as they take too long to install and then update Windows. 
 
2x 32GB thumb drives ~$10 dollars.
