Not bad at all for $315

Lite gaming / htpc.

I'm sure a 980Ti would've been easily found

How much did that cost you?

8000€~~

Damn, what do you use it for?

Video games.

>he actually bought an i9

That frys $189 ryzen 1600 + mb combo is pretty tempting, I'm thinking of upgrading.

Also ignore the gpu driver I took this pic after a fresh install of windows and didn't install it yet.

What did you buy your wifes boyfriend?

Time to upgrade?

This computer has definitely lasted me a while in terms of being a relatively powerful gaming PC. It's true that the games I play are usually well optimized or not very intensive, but I can play The Witcher 3 on, almost all settings to ultra aside from some AA and hairworks, at 50 fps.

I first bought the Radeon 6870 back in 2011 and it was a great card that lasted me until mid 2016 when it started to deteriorate especially in temperature management. I replaced it with the Radeon RX470 which is an amazing card. However, I think it is somewhat bottlenecked by the other, relatively outdated, parts of my PC.

I bought my HDD back during the tsunami crisis. While I initially bough a Western Digital 1Tb for something like $150, I later found a Seagate drive that was going for much cheaper, probably like 70 bucks or so.

The SSD was purchased some time in 2012 during the era of expensive SSDs. It costed about 80 bucks. I'm only a few more windows updates away from running out of space on it. I used to be able to have CSGO, TF2, and a few other games installed on it, but sadly that era is done. I could actually free up about 5 gigs on it if I spent a few hours locating useless files, I may do that eventually. Though most of my shit is already pretty organized.

My computer has only failed me on a few occasions, one being relatively recently when it started to fail because of some sort of RAM or VRAM issue. When it went to sleep after inactivity it would fail to reboot and I would have to recover it each time with bios recovery. I set it to never sleep and instead go to lock screen, but it still failed eventually for some reason. I then did a complete windows reinstallation and used a backup. It actually failed, I thought irreparably, without a backup from this year, except somehow the gods smiled on me and let it boot up one last time for a backup.

Now it has no problems, aside from the fact that my HDD is starting to slow down and fill up. /flood
