I enjoy seeing the old school cathode lights, looks like it was very well put together. How does the RX 570 8GB pair with your 8350?

Now that I have the Cryorig the temps are kept very low on the north and southbridge. Running a new to me game World War Z they max out around 50C same with GPU and Cpu stays in the 40s.
 
havent spoken on here in over 2 years....hi everyone. For what its worth, I use this as a life update to all the guys that helped me put together my PC when i was 14..

Now 20 years old, a multi engine commercial pilot and very soon now a flight instructor. Finishing up my junior year of aerospace engineering. Also, still have that same PC from 2013 so yeah its getting kinda old. Dont know whos still around here...stick? Gunit? xxdeathxx?

Id like to hear how you all are doing!

Project PC I just bought. Says it worked but he disconnected the front panel connectors and the buyer will have to reconnect them. This seems fishy af, hence why its a project PC.

It was $129 with free shipping, which is likely more than I should have paid, but I can throw it in a nice case and resell it.

AMD Phenom x6 1055t 2.8ghz( "hey at least it's not FX")
Red downdraft cooler
Gigabyte GA-MA785GM (i hope this can overclock)
8gb G.skill Ripjaws RAM
2x1tb Western Digital HDD (ima rob one of these for my main PC)
Asus Xonar DG sound card. I may use this in my main PC since I broke an audio cap on the board, the current USB sound adapter is meh.
Nvidia 750Ti 2GB graphics card
Cooler Master 600w power supply
W7 Ultimate (hoping i can use this key to activate W10)
Comes with a gaming keyboard
Looks like a Cooler Master Case, kinda terrible.

The pictures were the worst I have ever seen.

I built this PC last October 2019 starting from scratch. before this build I used a 970 since launch day. I've since upgraded the 2070 super originally in this build to the 3080Fe, and upgraded the monitor to the Gigabyte 34" 1440 Ultrawide. My wife has the 2070s now.
I am curious what others think should be my next upgrade. My thoughts are the 5000 series CPU's.
Ignore the prices, I have not corrected these yet.

I think there are few people who actually respond to this thread anymore. You are likely MUCH better off creating a new thread on the topic of your upgrades if you want some decent community feedback.

Sure, I just followed the links provided in the rules. haha. Haven't been on this forum in a few years. Thanks mate.
