How many of you is guilty of "I know this is way too overkill for me but I got it anyway" syndrome?

What I really heard: 

1. I sold my GTX1070.
2. I play on iGPU now.

Well its time for an upgrade then.

 

Yeah, I wasted too much time with playing video games during the semester. So I thought it is a good time to sell my GPU because I barely need it anymore.

Can we get a "Kind of both" option? I'm. not going totally overkill, but I'm slowly getting parts fro my new build with an R5 1600 and 980 Ti, when I could get by with a 970/980 and R5 1400 (it's mainly for Battlefront II when it comes out, and the alpha runs fine on a 970, ask @TVwazhere). And my case (Evolve ATX) is overkill, my mobo (Probs an MSI Gaming Pro Carbon or Gigabyte K5/K7) is overkill for my use case, and the custom loop I plan to do eventually is also overkill. But not complete overkill, thus why I need a middle ground option on the poll.

See, it's overkill, but not too much overkill. So I'm a moderate overkiller. True overkill would be a 7700K/R7 1700 and a 1080 Ti, with some insane ROG mobo, 64GB RAM, a 1TB NVMe SSD, and a custom loop with stainless steel tubing and custom machined fan mounted res.

a 1.5KW PSU for a machine with a mainstream i7 and GPU.

I created this thread for entertainment only. We all waste money on stupid things we don't need. Don't take it too seriously. Just don't spend 5k every month when you are earning 1k then you will be good.

I earn about 1K after rent and such, but then I gotta buy gas and food and my car's favorite past time seems to be breaking (at least recently, hopefully it's done with its emo stage), And save money. And buy a subwoofer, and the Lego Slave I (Boba Fett's ship, the most beautiful Starcraft ever, but it's $200), more stuff for my PC, stuff for my Star Wars costume, other random stuff. So my poor wallet is being overkilled right now!

Please! Don't get an MSI board! They are plagued with issues! (@tom_w141)

 

 

Get the Gigabyte board! 

(ASUS and AsRock are also very good)

I know, but I've been hearing that the problems are getting fixed. And @revsilverspine has a Tomahawk B350, and seems to be happy with it. 

 

And yeah, I wanted a Tiachi, but it doesn't match my build. And I have been eyeing the X370-F from ASUS.....

For the love of all that is sacred. Please don't. I've seen 3 issue threads today with the only common factor being MSI AM4 boards. They come up every day both here and reddit. Please just spend like $10 and buy literally anything else.

 But they look soooo beautiful! Though the Gigabyte ones I mentioned are some of the nicest board out there as well. I'll see what's available when I purchase my mobo, and then get whatever looks the nicest/works the best.

Mine's rock solid so far. Still haven't updated BIOS for AGESA 1006 and I'm still running at 3.75GHz with mem at 2933

I'd better money a motherboard with a decent VRM could do 3.9/4. Also the fact that you are stable makes you more the exception than the rule.
