I finally assembled my retro HEDT system !
SpoilerWhat 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 ?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.

You know... There are other bullets out there. So your suicide prevention idea is kinda flawed.
Yeah but she died at 103 years old in the end (the pistol was also confiscated) she did try to get rolled over by a firetruck though.
