Newegg, I wanted an Asus X370 Pro but they all sold out before I found them.  ASrock for the most part has treated me decent.  I prefer EVGA though.

Nice bro! Wouldn't mind seeing it when it is built.

I plan on doing a few YT Videos, maybe a build log.  If I can snag a few 100k views it may pay for itself lol.  I overnighted the CPU/Board so it will get here by the 3rd.

Sounds like a waste of money to me.  You don't need to be upgrading that much.

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!

You had an almost top-of-the-line system already.  You're spending $480 (really $630) on a minor improvement.

I'm a tech enthusiast, this is where I like to spend my money.  I am not a drinker or pore thousands into Steam every year with a library full of games never played.

I make usually 100-250 per PC.  I do it because I enjoy it and like to deliver a good product.  I have a career job as well xD.

If you want to make money, buy stuff from a few years ago on CL, build and sell.  The most popular stuff I've sold were from 400-800.
