What is the general consesus on this card? This would be put in a new 9900k build, it would also be my first venture into hard line watercooling and overclocking. 

 

Im also slightly concerned about the physical dimensions of the card, it seems pretty large @ 180 mm wide.

Just use a reference card, but what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

Also an R7 3700X is likely perfectly fine for what you need at almost $200 less.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
