Please keep it looking somewhat close to this format.

 

Here are mine.

 

Short Term

  • Sell 690 and get 980ti
  • Sell Z87 G45 and get similar board with warranty

Medium term

  • CPU cooler: Dark Rock Pro 3

Long term (never)

  • CPU: Intel 5820k future equiv
  • Mobo: Cheapest "thermal armour" board with built in WB
  • RAM: 32gb of cheapest simple looking RAM
  • GPU: one more of whatever I end up getting, I sure as hell have enough PSU wattage..
  • Monitor: 6 LG curved ultrawides

 

 

PSST: I checked that there isn't another thread https://www.google.com/search?num=50&q=site%3Alinustechtips.com+what+are+your+planned+upgrades&oq=site%3Alinustechtips.com+what+are+your+planned+upgrades&gs_l=serp.3...4714.6856.0.6931.14.14.0.0.0.0.142.1257.8j6.14.0....0...1c.1.64.serp..14.0.0.Uhxn7Fha8hk

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

290 for photoshop

WHAT

She's going to try it and if she's happy I'm letting her take it and getting a 390. Wanted to xfire but the vapor-x 290s are hens teeth. I'm a very lucky man.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

Long term

Dual Xeons of some description

Another 970

Phase cooler

 

Don't have the money to plan for short or medium term, and there's nothing that needs immediately changing bar my keyboard which is just out of preference and my monitor which I think is on it's way out

LTT's fastest Valley 970, slowest Valley Basic and Extreme HD scores

8tb? is that thing?

Indeed it is, I got two 8tb drives around 6 months ago to replace my previous pool of 4x 3tb barracudas and a 1tb blue as I had run out of sata ports.

Can't embed as I'm on my phone.

Mid/Long-term: nVidia GP100 Pascal GPU/ 1440p 144Hz G-Sync OR AMD Arctic Islands highest end (whatever its called) GPU/ 1440p 144Hz FreeSync monitor.

 

I'll weigh my options between both (probably whichever comes out first, knowing me I can't wait :D ).

 

OH, and a macro keyboard and baller gaming mouse. B) Time to get rid of my $30 keyboard/mouse combo. :D
