Is my pc, that i finally ordered now after being in the pipeline for some time. Bit uncertainy at work, also have to borrow a bit.
Though today there was an unexpected meeting at work, and there was a food cart with omelets, wraps and other food, so was relax. xD
Will take till next week till i have it in my hands, gonna wait with the graphic cards (1080 TI) for some time, onboard should be equal to a 620 i think, which is still alot better then the 430 GT i have now.

Will make pictures and post when i have it, and for who is interested (though big case (15kg), no graphic card, no fancy watercooling, would still look a bit empty).

Changed the Crucial to a Samsung 850 EVO (no 900+ NVME but read some reviews that weren't good to justify even a larger cost, think i accidently chosen Crucial (which gets bad reviews) because i got confused with Corsairs in the first place.
And can always put another one in later on.

No PC will look empty, or ugly, when it's filled with love.

<3 Best way to look at it yeah.

Though eventually it will be filled with dust. xD Though this case has a filter at the bottom you can just pull out, remove the dust and click it back in.

Filters do help a lot, but no matter how many of them your case have, dust always finds a way... Sadly.

Unfortunately true, but i do and don't mind doing a 3 monthly clean up, but always been a case of just unscrewing 2 screws and remove one side, with the new case and glass plate and being 15 kg, it's gonna take some heavier work. :p
But eh there are worse problems i guess.

I once had a dead beetle in my pc, even that finds a way.

If I remember correctly, my current PC is around 23-24 Kg, and I have to do a lot of stairs every time I want to clean it.. Meaning that the regular 3 months clean up soon became a single, annual post-summer clean up, since it gather a lot of dust during summer with higher fans speed.

Never found a beetle in any of my PCs, but multiple flies, mosquitoes and even motherfucking spiders. Also enough hairs to form a living, given enough time sentient, plush.

Nice Buid! A new PC is always a nice feeling. Hope you don't have to wait too long for the graphics card. Well, if you wait long enough, you might as well go for the next generation.

Thanks, yeah i probably will wait for the next generation (i wouldn't have money before that anyway).

I don't know if miners will still jump on it, so they become scarce again, if that's still a thing.

Wasn't that more with AMD and middle class nVidia cards? I might be wrong, but I thought miners didn't go for the 1080ti.

I have a 1080 (non-ti) myself and am still very happy with it. I hope I can safely skip the next generation and invest in a new monitor instead. :)

I know that in some stores here atleast 1060-1080 can be scarce (out of stock and you have to wait), but i don't know if that's because of production, miners or other reasons.

You gonna go for a really big ass monitor? :p Was just reading an article about a 61inch one..

61"? A PC monitor?? Sure that's not a TV then? That's actually crazy. No, I am waiting for the next 21:9 monitors. They seem to have problems with the panel, so all those are delayed (Acer, Asus and AOC will have monitors with that panel). It will be glorious! 35", 3440*1440px 21:9, curved, 200Hz, HDR, GSync. This panel will have it all! ^^

Right now I still have an old LG 21:9 monitor with 2560*1080px. It's nice, but the new ones will be so much better.

Thanks, and those games will be alot. :p

What graphics card did you get with it (couldn't see that on the site)?

Hope you will find a good replacement for your bike, i had a 150 one, second hand but the tires kept getting flat like every 2 months, so that's the risk going cheap, then i won a good 700 euro one in some contest the local bike shop did, now i might have a flat not even once a year (though changing a tire requires a special tool only the store has, so replacing a tire will cost 42 euro. :x).

The card was second hand from a good friend of mine which gave it to me with a huge discount: AMD R9 280 for 60 euro.
I'm going to get a new commute bike and the budget for that it's really small like 50-60 euro max.
On a side note I'm getting a road bicycle something like this and I'm going to spend quite some cash on it like 500-600 euro.

Don't forget to invest in a good lock too though. ;) Though from what i heard thieves can pretty much get any of them open.
Though the longer it takes, the less likely they want to risk it if the place is crowded enough.

I'm not going to ride the expensive bike to uni or any place. Just going for a long rides.
Yeah expensive lock can make a huge impact on how long the thief can brake it open.

Dude those motherboards are great, cant beat the price!

You can get them for around 60 bucks!

As for your bike- try facebook marketplace. I hate Facebook, but I've had good luck with 'garage sale' type item purchases there. I got a bike, 2 pc monitors, and a guitar off there recently.

Thanks for the GA. BTW, I managed to recover the data from my crashed HDD. It wasn't easy, but I managed to do it without dropping a lot of cash.

Thanks and grats on your recovery, yeah plenty of people thinking it's too hard or impossible and let experts do it for them, but there usually is plenty enough software in which you don't have to pay much to anything (if you pirate).

They got a bunch of bad reviews on their facebook, but they are the cheapest i could find.

With 1800 euro i was trying to get a free kaspersky (40 euro) they couldn't do that... so i said give me atleast something, in the end it seemed they wanted to give me 15 euro discount but they give me a bill that charged fulll price for kaspersky so i mailed them and then they fixed it but without the 15 euro discount (i been mailing back and forth and usually a reply after 15 minutes but after that i didnt get any mail anymore yet.

Their customer/sale department isn't the most helpful atleast.

What was your experience?

My experiences are from 2001-2004 mostly so I'm not sure how valid they are these days.

Back then the sales team was nice but I had to go back with faulty hardware a few times and that was always really annoying.

I didn't get any more reply after 15:00 (thinking maybe that particular girl went home) but i guess she just did get fed up with me.
But i webchatted with them and apparently there was still someone there, but he was firm, no discount is possible, not even 15 euro or even a mouse or game for all i care, and they gave me some bullshit about margins but they price their products more expensive then Alternate and not by a small difference either (about 80 euro).
But i accepted their final price and mailed my okay, but then they send me another bill but with a "thuisheffing" with another 3 euro (government thing) while i already gave my okay and without that (probably forgot) every time in the chat, they let me wait 15 minutes without any sorry for waiting, thank you or even if they were done.

This will definitely be my last buy from them, and i will get my graphics card somewhere else.

Maybe... 6 person household, upgrades get a little confusing at times. I might wait for the next *50ti type card, for cost (1050ti isn't very compelling against a 750ti,) or might splurge and get myself something a little nicer.

Nice rig, congrats and post pics!

Sucks about GPUs at the moment, do you think a 1080ti might be overkill though? If you are just doing 1080p on 2 or 3 monitors than a 1060 should be fine as long as it is 6GB.

I built my rig about 6 months ago, but I only put 8GB ram in it because I figured I could put another 8GB into it later on. Big mistake! Now, ram prices are up and I want to buy the same exact stick of ram to match my current ram stick because my case has a window! So, of course the price is not 25% higher and I'm too stubborn to spend the extra money yet.

I also have been waiting to get a new GPU myself. I figure I might as well wait and see what the 2060 looks like (or w/e they are calling it).

Thanks.

I don't believe so much in overkill or don't mind, maybe in 3-4 years it will be recommended requirements for games, might as well get something good and don't have to worry about buying anything for some years to come.
But maybe since i had this old pc for so long i might just want the best of the best even more now too.
And i dunno what i will do with monitors in the future, probably keep this one and add a big one, but how big i don't know, my eyesight isn't great (i wear glasses) maybe because staring at a screen too much, also don't want to ruin it more.

Yeah what i was afraid of too with the ram, it sucks, but what goes up must come down again. ;)

From what i read the biggest one so lets say the 2080 would have 16gb of DDR6 but apparently prices would go up to $1500 as it would be equal to 2x 1080TI, for a 2070 they would use 11gb, for a 2060 i have not read anything.

1180 will have 1,5x performance of 1080 and cost ~700$. So 100$ than 1080 at launch. With 8 - 16 GB GDDR6.

They wouldn't make card that'd have 2x performance of 1080Ti :D Unless you talk about 1180Ti or Titan.

I'm curious about your job

I worked in construction, i did computer stuff, last november i applied for a job at a company that build electrical cabinets from small to really big, they would get some serial production work and asked for people without any experience, but they still haven't gotten around to that so they let us do other stuff in the meantime, and for everyone that applied it been different.

I had to cut wires, put numbers on them with a pen (after 4 days that could get a little boring) but also just plugged the wires in with a screwdriver, screwing on panels, i did a whole lot on and inside those big cabinets itself, for someone with initially 2 left hands i managed to do and learn alot, for the last 3 weeks every day i did something new.
It's full of metal and screws so it's easy to cut your fingers every time on something.

It was also initially flex work (so if they wouldn't have work you could sit at home doing nothing for weeks but so far i always managed to get my days and they will have plenty of work to come) i work there 3 days for now per week, after the year is over since i started (march) it could turn into something permanent.
