Thanks, I'm looking for more current gen stuff. Nice combo though.

I have about $800 currently to spend on core system components listed in title. I'm looking to Max out 1080p settings with good fps. I was going to buy new but thought I could maybe get more for my money here. I'm usually partial to Intel but will consider AMD as well. I'm looking for 8th i7 or...

Raspberry Pi 3 with Retropie and Simple theme.

My buddy begged me to build him a Minnesota Wild themed arcade and it turned out pretty decent. The bottom comes off allowing full access to joysticks and easy removal of the tv if needed. Its sitting on a lazy susan type base I use just for taking pics.

I settled on 4.3ghz, which is a pretty nice OC. I could boot and poke around at 4.5 but decided it wasn't worth the effort. For some reason if I set my ram at more than 1.6 in bios windows won't recognize it. Doesn't seem to be an issue for overclocking though. My ram default says 1.65.

bump

I lucked out and got an Asus p6x68d-e from ebay for right at $100. I switched to the Xeon on my EVGA board because I already had it. Once the word got out all this hardware went through the roof. If it wasnt such a hassle I would just sell off everything and building a new system because I...

Bump for price drop

tempting

yeah, I know. I thought maybe I would get a better deal in trade. It might find its way into my son's system.
