idk if you want the 9590 on that board.

I know someone who has it, and the VRM heatsinks get hot enough to burn your hand in valley....

 

I always can get a closed end watercooler to cool down the CPU, but I have no idea on what to do with the VRM heatsinks.

I have made soms bad choices when building my PC and i should have gotten a different case, but i'm very satisfied with the rest, the gtx770 is still a solid performer for my needs.

No. The way that my rig attempts to cool itself is horrifying. The heat from the GPU and CPU just dissipate onto other components. I'm looking to upgrade to something that isn't the stock Intel cooler (Ouch, I know), and get some better case fans. Currently there is one on the front of my case, cooling my drives, however the fan isn't powerful enough to even reach warmer areas of the computer, so that's useless. Also one of the LEDs on my case fan has broken so now my OCD is screaming at me (Yay!).

I am actually. There's not really anyone I need or want for it. Maybe a better desk mic, I don't like how my snowball cuts off the low end.

Mostly, yes.

I mainly play CS:GO on a 6350 and a 560ti, but I need a new mobo so I can have 4 memory slots, and seeing as I enjoy streaming, upgrading my GPU to a 760 and building another computer (an i3 most likely) just for streaming would be great :)

It does it's job but I feel a crossfire set up is not for me. I will be completely rebuilding however with what I have learnt over the past few months to create a more stable system. Yes this includes binning the 2x270x for a single 970

I think my PC has 5-6 years old, I'm sitting on an x58 mobo, a i7 920, and a gtx 660. I'm definetly not satisfied with this.

Better than my fx-6300+ 1gb hd7850

No, when I get a Z77 board, 8more gigs of ram, and a 380(x) or higher I'll be happy.

Nah who am I kidding, I'll never be content with my build...

Well, with the BIOS update my Pentium will overclock, so I'm pretty happy with its performance. But my 7950 still runs hot (in Valley it runs at 85C at the stock 900MHz, and at 920, it stays at 95C). So... Yeah. Still hope that I get a Hyper 212 EVO for Christmas so I can OC more.

Yes, It's not the most powerful thing in the world but it handles my needs very well. The graphics card is powerful enough to run most modern games at 1080p with high settings, the 120GB SSD make things quicker and the CPU has power to spare. RAM is sufficient for the moment. I'm pretty satisfied.

I think my computer needs a CPU upgrade. Thought an i5 3330 would be enough but I was wrong. I mean, the CPU is really good considering is an entry model but I just need a little more. I'm going for an i7 3770K but is kind of difficult to find one where I live. The GPU in contrast is really good (GTX 780) and overclocks really well on air (1228 Mhz on core). And I need a decent case because the one I have is a shame lol.

For me a better case and PSU are what I want, and a 980 would never hurt but I do not have that kind of money at the moment.

The reason i'm not satisfied with my build is because I'm pretty OCD about my PC (I format constantly to keep it 100% fresh) and my hardware can't be because I don't have the money to build my system the way i want it (damn budgets).

I miss Nvidia every day. One of these days I will buy myself dual 970s and never go back to SpaceHeatMD.

I'll be satisfied when I've got an x99 system with quad SLI, EVERYTHING watercooled (down to the HDD's and SSD's, because reasons), in a caselabs STH10 magnum, with nothing but noctua 3000rpm black fans modded with LED's, and at least a custom glass reservoir.

 

Also, more monitors than Wendell on The Tek. And if I didn't go caselabs I'd make my own custom case, likely out of a desk, but it'd look better than all those desks everyone else builds.
