Monday I will be installing a few new parts to bump me up 6 years into the present day. My 2600k was a wonderful chip, never stayed on a CPU that long before.
OLD 2011 parts :
i7 2600k @ 4.5 Ghz ||| CM Hyper 212+
Asus p8p67 Pro and 16GB Corsair XMS DDR3 1600
New 2017 parts:
i7 7700k @ 4.5 Ghz ||| CM Hyper 212 EVO
ASRock Z270 TAICHI and 32GB G.SKILL TridentZ DDR4 3200
Pretty excited to see the performance improvements that the new Z270 chipset and DDR4 speeds offer in addition to the CPU upgrade.
I updated my signature with the final build, I've been using the SSDs I installed in 2014 and this past fall got the GTX1080, which seems CPU limited whenever I try to game at 4k.
Also haven't been super active here in a few years, so I had to get my email and pw reset, but I am back!
