Don't know what you're going to use it for, but if you're gaming on it, it's overpowered on the CPU side, could have shifted more to a better GPU (nothing a later upgrade can't fix though). The 830 would have been a better choice for a SSD and the PSU is overkill (wattage-wise).

Anywho, sorry for being a negative nancy. Congratulations!

Thanks Growled ;-)

and I got this CPU cuz it was a good deal at microcenter... only 169 instead of 230 like newegg had it!!! Plus it's easier to upgrade the GPU.

Also I love Antec and I needed a modular PSU. and The wattage is needed for upgrades. Got a good deal on it too.

I am also doing a lot of Hyper-V stuff so I need a good CPU.

What's nuts is I have 59 min runtime on my Back-UPs XS1000 reported by APC on this system... and I will have 39 minutes runtime gaming on skyrim at max settings!!!! This system is very efficient also becuase I have no optical drives, not many case fans and no LEDs or bling like my old system did. I also have no card readers or PCI card devices installed either... using onboard sound.

I installed my OS with a USB Pen drive and I went from the first install screen to desktop in just 10 minutes!!!!

This is unoptimized....

I also had stuff running in the BG:

3DMark Score P5093 Graphics Score 5064 Physics Score 6316 Combined Score 4083 Graphics Test 1 24.25 FPS Graphics Test 2 23.27 FPS Graphics Test 3 30.82 FPS Graphics Test 4 15.38 FPS Physics Test 20.05 FPS Combined Test 19.0 FPS

Enjoy the ride... so to speak :D

All real solid components, Three Hundred (Two) FTW - great looking, dirt cheap for the quality and spacing it offers. Haven't seen the revised edition, got the old one myself. I think they've even fixed fan controller wires so now they're attached to the back instead of I-don't-know-where-to-put-the-wretched-things, yes?

    • LibreWolf 152.0-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 152.0-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 152.0 Release Notes Notable changes: The AppImages are now built on Codeberg along with the other releases We have decided to wait a bit longer to enable the settings redesign, due to use being aware of multiple upstream issues Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • hahahahah wow hahahah you sure got me there hahahahahah, you know that bad performance is always due to poor optimization by the developers, right???
    • "I know for a fact I'll never own one of these." This is why choice is better than government regulation. Globaly Android has something like 72% of the smartphone market. Granted the vast majority of that is low end phones. Apple can and should charge whatever they want. The market will decide if it is too much.
    • I dont mind the AI stuff the time its released its going to be super mature. My hope is the AI can optimise or at least work out if things could be and the devs prompted. This would help offset sloppy copy/paste and asset flips resulting is rushed bloated games.
    • its an online game, the better part of it, piracy is not the problem. If that was so, it wouldnt release 1 year after for PCs, the piracy will be there Its probably some contract with the console brands
