Cain's December 2016 Computer

[Cain]

We have all been there, Did you get if because of price or because of certain options?

Asus name, price, and match for my CPU.

I tried an ASROck MB and it was junk, I'm now trying another Asus Board the next one up. Stay tuned!

I will stay tuned, I have build I'm assembling myself, I bought my first Asus board, I was overwhelmed with the number of new Z270 boaards, After a lot of research I ended up going with the Asus Prime Z270-A. My EVGA boards have served me well but they didn't have what I was looking for this time.

Changed my video card (the Asus was too long, and my MB, (the first one dropped dead)...

Congrats on that new PC Cain!

I recently upgraded my rig a bit too.

Wow! When you turn that beast on, do the lights brown out for a sec? That's a pretty awesome rig!

Hehe... I wonder why people do some of the things they do. And the answer is. ... "it seemed like the thing to do at the time." Course I've never done anything like that before. That being said, you should always consult the clowns in this forum. Individually we're pretty dysfunctional.... (see Phantom). But as a collective we figure some stuff out. Mainly because of all the stupid stuff we can tell you not to do that we've already done.

Yeah, the 99 Mb was not the way to go at this juncture but that's water under the bridge now. I'm glad you're able to carry on with your new stuff. Building computers is just boys with their toys from what I can tell. Some of us got more money than we do sense. (no reference to you of course) But it's all good. Congrats on the build. Should last you a long time. And I know it will chew through any game you run. Next step is getting a 4k monitor. Now thats a resolution we can all love.
