You can just put a cheap i5 2400 and you will be golden for a bit at least

yeah for 50$ it's a pretty good CPU and will hold anything up to a 1060 3gig imo.

Put it in your b... ohhh yeah nevermind.

There we go again... MINING IS KILLING PC GAMING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
 
On a more serious note, pc gaming has NEVER been so popular i would not worry too much.

i'd say look for a prebuilt at this point haha

I'd go with this one, i have it and really love it. at 700$ can't really go wrong there https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-inspiron-15-6-laptop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-256gb-solid-state-drive-black/5872507.p?skuId=5872507

Your goal is to cool a desktop CPU in the most stupid way you can. Somewhat inspired by LTT's sketchy heatsink videos. (Posted in liquid and exotic cooling since I'm sure we'll see some weirder solutions come up, maybe even involving water)
 
RULES:
 
It must handle aida64 for 5 minutes without throttling.
 
You can choose pretty much any CPU you want, as long as its a standard socketed desktop chip (No intel atom motherboards lol)
 
You've got to run it at stock clocks, voltage, etc. Throw it in a motherboard, reset bios, and those are the specs to roll with.
 
Here's my first entry:
 
Sempron 150, 8GB DDR3, Asus M4A78LT-M
 
Heatsink: An AMD Phenom CPU turned upside down, with a 40mm fan on top


 
5 min of Aida64:

 
I'd love to see what you guys can come up with! This is more for fun than anything. Considering I've waterproofed a laptop before, maybe the next step is submurged water cooling

Well depends on what 7000 series card you got... if its a 7950 or 7970 heck even a 7870, i'd say keep it for the time being. GPU market is fuck wait for new lunch soon.

NO GTX 970 ever had a 1gb buffer , they are all 550 ti or 650.

I mean i dont see why you would get eighter... but i voted for Jibo.

Not a full tower, but the Fractal Meshify C can mount 280 in front and 280 on top. I have 2* 240 rad in mine it's pretty nice.

The Green CX line from Corsair is known to pose problem at higher wattage... And your system is NOT a low power one just saying.

Switch it to iGPU and boot it up with the card in it, then go into device manager and look at display adapters

That's amazon marketplace  they can put whatever price they want to troll people, disregard it.

Both are irrelevant ?

the 7950 cab bring in about 2-2.50 a day.

Rosewill Capstone are on sales on newegg, pretty good deal.
