Oh. Okay, I am sorry then.

And let's be honest: It was overkill. I am running a single-monitor setup and didn't play anything but WoW at this point. It was just the definition of an impulse purchase.

Okay yeah, if you didn't play anything but WoW that's really dumb.. Shoulda gone with an X60 or X70 or something GPU.. Whatever generation was current back then

Waaauw, I do hope you challenge your card a bit more now though.

It died a while ago. Rest in peace, Titan-Senpai.

Did you do something even more dumb and follow it up with a Titan x?

Nah. I think I got something like a Radeon R9 380. Which wasn't really that expensive.

I'm still not sure if I should just pick the 1080 and the i7-6700k. The motherboard and cooler is still up for debate, I would like a AIO cooler since a big air cooler blocks other components from being visible and a custom liquid system is too expensive. The motherboard was red and had some nice features but I might just see if something else is out there. I usually start searching for a case and then quickly throw some stuff together and fine tune it later on.

I have another ssd laying around and it's weird but some products don't have prices if you select US. Taxes in the Netherlands are no joke though. a 1070 is going for €530+ and the 1080 for €800+

I would just go with a 6600k, unless you plan on doing a ton of streaming, video editing, or 3D modeling. Also, it might be worth waiting a month or 2 since the 1070 and 1080 should both come down in price when there's more available. Also, make sure you don't get any with blower coolers, (this includes any of the founders edition ones)

How can you replace Titan-Sama with that?? You never downgrade you upgrade!

Because I wasn't willing to shell out a lot of money for a GPU at this point.
Titan-Senpai never really noticed me, but still won't be forgotten.

Yea, I'm gonna wait for a bit since prices should at least drop a little bit. Gives me time to check out more parts and do some comparisons as well.

If you feel like it, you can get a 480 nowadays for like.. Close to no money, and it's actually very nice.

I took a look at the MoBo, and you could probably get by using the M5 version instead of the M7.

If you do do this, wait for the non-reference styles to come out first.

[Deleted]

So what happened than.

Everyone died. The End.

Thanks I'll take a look at it, I think I've picked the m7 purely for aesthetics over the m5.

EDIT:

What do you think of that AIO cooler, I've seen mixed reviews so far.

Yeah, they'll probably look better and perform better too

[Rascal Bob]

Pendra do you live in one of those wintersport towns? I go every year since I was 3 and I'm pretty good, although some Austrian kids put me to shame doing backflips and what not.

Still a better story then the Sweden versus Denmark we got instead.

[Deleted]

That's sad as fuck. Typical Austrian

Austrians are bae.
I will see myself out.

Not directly. I live in Western Austria, around the mountains - but around the state's capital, so in a vale.

No use replacing a fried Titan with another 900 euros card if all your playing is WoW

I mean, the Swedes lost just the same either way

[Amirila]

Most exciting thing of the day: played against Amyrilla

Yeah true, still quite curious how that happened though.
