    Your GPU is way better than mine but my CPU should be better indeed
  2. It's a Sapphire Vapor-X R9 290 that I got for a good deal on eBay
  3. Hey nice build ! I have the exact same case though it's called Antec Three Hundred. I also did the exact same modification to fit my GPU !

    I tried with metal scissors and I ended up using a Dremel The cuts are well done but kind of sharps so for the cables I placed duct tape above to be sure it doesn't cut them on the long run. It's also a build for fun since I already have a main one far better, I'll keep it or sell it, I don't know yet

    Well I did sand the edge but it wasn't really aesthetic so I added duck tape, pretty sure it's not better

    What I bought used :

    CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K from @Damascus, better price than what I can see in France.

    Motherboard: EVGA Micro 2 Micro from Damascus but previously owned by @Zando Bob, good price and not even available in France.
    Video Card: Sapphire Vapor-X Radeon R9 290 4 GB from ebay for actually a very good price.

    Case: modded Antec Three Hundred from my build from 2010, it needed to be modded to allow the video card to fit in the case.


    What I bought new :

    CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S because discount and it's Noctua.

    Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2 x 8GB 3200MHz CL16 meh memory and not even quad channel yet.
    Storage: Crucial MX500 500 GB 2.5" why pay the double for Samsung when this one is as good ? :P

    Power Supply: be quiet! Straight Power 11 650W not supposed to explode ™️

     

    What I plan to bought later :

    Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2 x 8GB 3200MHz CL16 for that fancy quad channel memory.

    3 Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM fans because there are actually no fans in the case.

     

    A build log will maybe come in the next year (if Earth survives 2020).

      I like it. We should go toe to toe. Retro showdown between Intel and AMD.

       

      You will probably have better memory bandwidth but I think I can hold my own in GPU performance at the very least.

       

      CPU, not so sure. If you get a chance run some benchmarks in AIDA64, I'll post the full benchmark report on my rig later.

    I mean just take your rule and you have a measurement.

    a bit about the new NZXT Z490's for who's curious

    Oh, ok.
  10. There are so many wrong things in your build. A K cheap with a B motherboard. Dollars instead of pounds. A P1. That case. The GPU for that budget. A 1440p for esport ?

    Yeah I actually own that bullet so a relative couldn't use it to kill herself.

    I'm planning a new GPU. I was considering the 3080 but it's out of stock and the prices are insane when available. So I'm waiting on RDN2 or what the 3070 has to offer

      You know... There are other bullets out there. So your suicide prevention idea is kinda flawed.

      I love your stories. So riveting.

    I am a huge disappointment.

    I can't believe I spent 30 minutes to explain to him and he doesn't understand because he can't read. I want to bash my head into a wall, thanks Haro.

    I have the Poco F2 Pro, the only thing missing is a 120Hz display compared to the X3 otherwise it's a solid phone!
