Apocalypsse

Video drops on April 2nd, then remember I live in the future.

Well that's disappointing. None of my activity shows up on the spreadsheet.

Yes there are, but I was looking for a compact ATX case with good airflow so it ruled out the 5.25" bay. Ended up with a Fractal Design Meshify C.

If my case had a slot for it, I'd still be using my internal BD drive, but I had to buy an external. Still need the drive for older games and software.

This thread is amazing Your motherboard only supports 4000 series Intel CPUs, you can't buy an 8000 series and put it in, you'll need a new motherboard for that. Just get a used 4770 or 4790 off eBay, your motherboard doesn't support overclocking so no need to fork out extra for a K chip either.

About time, I've been hanging off on upgrading for a while now.

I'd upgrade that GPU. I'm still rolling with my 2600k, 16GB DDR3 and an SSD, but I've got a 1080Ti that runs everything on max with enough fps for my 100hz monitor. These old CPUs still have a fair bit of life left in them.

My old case had intake fans on the bottom, the filters were clogged up so much when I kept it on the floor. Moved it to the desk, now I have a flashy new case which is much nicer to look at.

Looking at a Litecoin calculator it looks like your ROI will be more like 5 months, but that calculator isn't using current value but wouldn't be far off. https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/ltc?HashingPower=504&HashingUnit=MH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=800&CostPerkWh=.1
