Well here is what I got in so far, still waiting on the MB and RAM, GB Aorus Z370 Gaming 5 and 16GB GSkill DDR4 3200.

Nice hardware, especially PSU! 😀

Looking from above, GPU would be either GTX 1080 Ti or Titan V.
Have you thought what PC case you'd be using? Also, is there a chance to see any custom sleeved CableMod cables (like in my PCs)?

Thanks.

Will be replacing the I7 7700K etc in my current case.

GPU will be my current GTX 1080 FTW2.

Complete specs will be this.

Gotta wait for my Meshify-C to come in before I can complete my Haswell rebuild....

But fans are here!!

 

[Lucky_SLS]

[Barty1884]

:lol: yup. Can you guess what's to go next?

 

[jankerson]

Here we go, up and running.

Haswell rebuild complete in the Meshify-C

It's really snug with the NHD15 front fan and the TG panel...

[Barty1884]

What kind of clocks are being hit across all cores? I know the 5GHz was meant to be single-core only? I'm assuming a sync all cores to 5GHz is going to be tough without a substantial voltage bump?

That's MCE...

5.0 GHZ all cores


Just waiting on the bios update until I really play with it, F7 isn't out yet.

Finally got around to replacing my 1TB Seagate HD with a 1TB SSD. 😀


Moved all my stuff over this morning, games etc, no more reg HD in this machine, 250 GB 970 EVO, and 500GB and 1TB 860 EVO's.

 

[CRO5513Y]

Picked up a new RAM kit, imo the best looking i've seen on the market but i'm bias towards RGB 😉

16GB Viper Elite RGB DDR4 @ 3600 MHz C16, way faster than i needed but it was $8 more than the competing RGB RAM kits at 3200 MHz so went for it! Loving the aesthetic! (The CPU block is RGB too, just not in-sync when i took the shot).

 

[jankerson]

Got this stuff in today. 😀

All part of the deal B&H was running.

Hot damn, didnt think this would work, haha

Nice! I'm seriously thinking of pulling the trigger on a 1080TI when they come down in price more. I'd love to get an RTX but right now they're a bit too rich for my blood.

I paid $679 for all that you saw in the picture, the PSU and Powerlink were free.

Was a deal that B&H was running.

It's unbelievable how much faster the GTX 1080Ti is over my GTX 1080.

Look at this deal they have now:

Bought a new PC chair for my wife since her old PC chair broke completely. While the chair isn't part of the Haswell build, it's still one piece of the whole setup.

Per her request, i bought her the exact same racing styled PC chair as i have in use but in blue color, because she likes blue color and loves the comfort of my PC chair. Now, we have matching chairs where only color differs.

If it was an Asus ROG I might go for it. I like their design. Then give my girl the 1080.

However it might just be better to wait it out. I like the ideas the 2080 has. The features seem interesting and with a few more iterations might be even better. And maybe AMD will have something similar and competitive by then. Hopefully to lower prices. Or they will just price fix like both have done multiple times through history.

its so cool

Perfect display for your 1080ti! Congrats!

Thanks, it was time to do something as my old 32" TV was going bad that I used.

I got over 10 years out of it so I can't really complain.

September
Bought Logitech C922 webcam for my Skylake build and Kingston HyperX Savage USB flash drive as well.

My old webcam, Logitech C170, served me 8 years until it's mic died. So, bought a better, up-to-the-date webcam. Tripod was also included with C922.

And my old USB flash drive, Kingston DataTraveler 101 G2, is USB 2.0 and 8GB in size. My new USB flash drive, Kingston HyperX Savage, is USB 3.0 and 128GB in size which is considerable upgrade.

 

[QwerkyPengwen]

bought a new monitor, cable sleeves, monitor mount for triple display (because the new monitor makes three total now) a new desk, a new chair, and a new 2x4 cubby hole thing that I'll lay on it's side and use as my new entertainment center for the TV and consoles.

My whole setup is going to be much nicer than before. Just giving a minor update to let you all know I'll post before and after picks on Saturday since the cubby shelf won't be here until Friday.

Nice upgrades. LOL though, I have that exact Kingston 8GB flash drive. And I have the C920 webcam. I love the C920, and since the 922 is slightly better when it comes to lighting exposure and color accuracy in low light I'd say you'll be thoroughly satisfied with it.
