I will post pictures when I get the parts in. I plan overclocking as well. :). It's overkill but I don't really buy much. I buy something once a year for myself. Parts should be in on Monday.

I can't wait to put it together but I need to have a friend help me because I had surgery and Doctor said no lifting anything for 2 weeks.

 

It depends on what you do. If you need POWER then its not overkill. 

I need moar power.

 

Let me die in peace

I'm sorry :(

:). Good news. The surgery bill was $740 and insurance will cover 90%.

Good luck with putting the components in your PC!

Jesus.

My job plus I get a $1600 bonus every month for being the best employee. I don't really spend that much. I sold my $9000 Yamaha R6 to someone and I'm selling over $1000 in accessories on my motorcycle forum. That will help recover the money from this purchase. Also sold my ram and 680 to a friend. :) I save a lot of money. Might as well spend it.

 

Grim, I approve :D

Thanks buddy. :)

By the way what are you using this POWER Monster for??

Corsair AX850.

 

here I was thinking it was the titans and some ram only..

Yeah medical bills suck. One last bill next month. Doctor probably charge me $300 for the check-up and to tell me the results of the lab testing.

 

Too lazy.

I'm off work for 2 weeks. Short term disability but at least its paid. :)

Lucky dog.Wish my job payed that much.

It's not an easy job. Very high turnover rate. I make enough since I have been with the company for 8 years and I got a 20% increase from my review in December. :)

I mean what what task. But nice power-supply 

Oh yeah my bad. Really tired. Stayed up all night. I was deciding if I should buy or wait lol. It's extreme overkill for gaming. 1440p Asus ROG Swift. I want to learn to do other stuff like rendering. Maybe try benchmarking as well. For now gaming at 1440p ultra settings. I play a lot of games.
