The most overkill or unbalanced PC setups you have seen?

asim1999

What PC setups/builds have you seen that are either overkill for the intended purpose or very unbalanced

Take me for example, i recently received a 980 Ti from NVIDIA and i am rocking a 10 year old Dell Monitor that is not even 1080p. On the other hand, i am going to be using the card more for folding than gaming.

On facebook, there was someone selling their PC in a pc part group and they were asking 1500 pounds for it, i7 4930k, 32GB of ram, asus extreme something mobo, 5 SSDs (2 1tb, 1 500gb and can't remember the rest of it...), ax1200i PSU I think then we come to the GPU...a 260x...

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

I was rocking dual GTX 970s paired with a pentium G3258. It was just for couple of days until I gave the second GPU to it's final owner, but a 970 and a g3258 are pretty unbalanced if you ask me.

PC parts picker says it's not compatible cuz i chose a 32 bit OS with 32 GB of ram, it will work but only 4gb of ram wil be usable........basically makes it more cringeworthy

I have an R9 390 with an FX 6300 (both at stock now) and a 2560x1080 display... Best part is I dont even play video games expect for GTA V once in a blue moon.

I ran my old i7 920 rig with a 6800gs for 2 months whilst my card was in for rma. Little beast ran with a 75% (700mhz from 400mhz) overclock until the last 3 days before my rma was returned it finally died from the overclock abuse :D
