is this a good 400$ build

Good for what?

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

*cough*AMD is for poor people*cough* I would suggest a boot SSD and maybe a cooler if your plan to overclock, apart from that looks good.

The two people who posted builds has better options.

Don't try and overclock an Athlon 860K on a cheap motherboard. The VRM chips are usually barely acceptable and don't have a heatsink.

This'll allow you to OC the CPU since it's got a good motherboard, and the 880K is basically the same CPU but with a cooler that performs like a Hyper 212 EVO in there.

 

You'll have to pick up a couple things off Newegg / NCIX US, but it's worth it since Amazon doesn't always have the best price / performance components available.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here
