[BUILDOFF] SCWN is not Scrapyard Wars

[LienusLateTips]

SCWN is not scrapyard wars.

 

$750 US PC that you can overclock and has good looks. Must use pcpartpicker.com. Going overbudget or using crappy PSU or motherboard with bad VRM will get you a worse score.

But...

It's not overclockable lol

[jared404]

*I do not wish to be judged just throwing this out there if you are seriously looking for powerful system on the cheap. I love hardwareswap and have had good luck. If any of the items I have listed are not available they frequently show up and it just requires a quick search to find them. Be patient and hunt deals for about a week and you will have a very good build.

Restrictions are dumb

 5820k with decent cpu cooler and mobo $500

 

$200 Gtx980

 

$78 16GB of DDR4

 

$778 for a system running x99
5820K

Gtx 980

16gb of DDR4

Just steal the power supply and case from your previous build

This:

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/d6ZKbj

 

the Pentium is overclockable

AIO looks good because it's not an air cooler, plus it has RGB

completely color neuteral theme (this will be important later)

Great case, with a beautiful sidepanel

basically the best PSU

NZXT HUE+ for lighting

RGB Fans with the HUE+ for more awesome lighting

 

i win, right?

 

[RadiatingLight]

all you noobs thinking that the PC needs to have a GPU...

Why that cooler?

RGB = Blue if you want

 

That board was the best looking board, and I had some budget left. Obviously nobody would every build this IRL.

 

Cooler is for RGB. Obviously.

 

the sad part is I've spent more than that on RGB for my personal setup.
