I voted RTX 3090 but I'm just an average gamer plays stupid shooting games (CODMW) all day with a 3090....

Pentium III 1GHz and GeForce2 MX, IWill motherboard. Almost 20 years ago:pompous:

Phanteks AMP Series 750W 80PLUS Gold $114 at Amazon right now. This is basically a Seasonic GX.

Good point. Only have two of these corsair fan and I'm hesitate to add more fans because want a quiet PC. So far it's been manageable and runs quiet :)

Founders edition, runs quiet and cool. System power peaks at ~580W, so a 750W Gold PSU should be good enough if you don't run a monstrous CPU. Mine is a i7 9700F.

Just got a 5600 XT and has been working flawlessly.

Bought this rig to for mining last December so it's been used for that for about 3.5 months. GPU has been undervolted and was running around 55 C. Fully working condition. linky: https://www.ebay.com/itm/142734051844?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Dual E5-2670 on Gigabyte board stock speed

Did a quick test on 2 x E5-2670 with 64GB Quad channel DDR3 ECC Reg 1333MHz, look at the memory bandwidth.

I'm running a server with 2 socket E5 2670. I only benchmarked Cinebench R15 and got 1900 score. Pretty impressive given the price I paid for two CPUs (around 60 bucks each on eBay at the moment).

Sold my X99 desktop before moving to new home.. it was a solid PC for photo editing and gaming, but it's just too big and heavy (fractual R4 case). Plus, my car trunk space is limited Now my computation gadgets are fully mobile

5820k can be easily overclocked to 4.5GHz, at least from my experience.... X99 motherboards have better VRM and quality in general, because it's HEDT! Almost doubled L3 cache, soldered TIM, 2 more cores, 4 more threads, Quad channel DDR4 I see no reason to get 6700k, especially if you do more...

It was listed as New item. All the accessories are unopened, but the anti-static bag is open and you can see the figure prints on the socket.

Update: Just checked Fry's store and EVERY NEW motherboard has this plastic seals on their box, and possibly the sticker too. The sales people told me they check against bent pins on every new motherboard. So nothing to worry about. Hi, I just pick a MSI X99S SLI Krait edition from Fry's. I...

If ITX form factor is not an issue for you, Asus H97i-Plus is a good choice. It has the high quality 10K capacitor, the same one as my X99-A. It's a bit surprising but it's just there...
