Excellent, thank you very much for this! =D This is really good to know, as it prevented me from making a very costly mistake, lol. Thank you for the knowledge drop!

Appreciate ya! Yeah, so, the ATX motherboard requirement is stemming from the fact that, in some ways, getting an mATX instead seems like I'm neutering the board for the sake of size... while in some cases, paying extra for the privilege. I'm not sold on mATX for my needs (yet) which is why I...

This is going to echo a post I made about GPU selection: If you're choosing a CPU for 3D modeling and scanning (no gaming), are you going Intel or AMD, and why? And to follow-up, if you need a processor for the above that is low TDP and low wattage, would that change your decision of CPU maker...

If you're choosing a dedicated GPU for 3D modeling and scanning (no gaming), are you going nVidia or AMD, and why? And to follow-up, if you need a dedicated GPU for the above that is low TDP and low wattage, would that change your decision of GPU maker? If so, how come? Essentially, I'm...

Is it me, or does there seem to be a disparity with the availability of motherboards natively supporting DDR5-7200 speeds? I see a glut of DDR5-6400 supported motherboards, but what's the deal with -7200? Isn't -7200 a natively supported speed with current generation mobos, chipsets and CPUs...

What options exist for a small(er) case, like a SFF, but can accommodate standard size ATX motherboards (not E-ATX)? I don't have a ton of desk space, so I am trying to minimize my PC footprint as much as possible. The case cannot be placed on the floor, and given the option, I would rather...

These are great points, I didn't really even realize that at 65TDP, that an AIO, regardless of size, would be overkill on this type of CPU. That said, I think I might reconsider my CPU for something non-neutered when combined with an AIO. This is also a great point regarding the throughput of...

It's been over 12 years since I last built a PC (currently running an X58 E760, Core i7-750, 780Ti Kingpin) and my PC needs have drastically changed since. I no longer game, but I am gearing towards productivity (3D modeling and scanning). I have 70% of the parts picked out, but I'm stumped as...

TTT.

To the top.

Price updated.

Price adjusted.

Selling my gently used EVGA GTX 780Ti Classified Kingpin Edition videocard. Never overclocked, always ran stock. Comes with original box and all accessories. In excellent condition, and meticulously taken care of. In 100% working condition and comes with back plate installed. Any questions...

Thank you all for the replies. Would my current system (EVGA X58 E760 Classified motherboard, 12GB Corsair Dominator RAM, Intel i7-950, Intel SSD) be a bottleneck for any reason while playing new titles, such as Battlefield 1 or Titanfall 2? Would using a GTX 1080 with this system present a...

What kind of performance gains/increases will I see if I upgrade from two EVGA GTX 780Ti Kingpins in SLI to a single GTX 1080? Will the difference truly be night and day?
