1441882 2017-11-13 01:03:00 What will it be used for?

I got lots of parts that I really should get rid of. I'll try to put a list together of what I have tonight. I think I'd get rid of things at the cost of shipping since they just taking up space.

Building a machine for the child to game on.

I have a 980Ti and Harddrives as a base so far.

Sooner is better but not in a hurry.

1441886 2017-11-13 08:10:00 well I'm encouraging him to hurry up now as we just swapped my 16GB DDR3 with his 4GB.

:-( I'm in shock, haven't had 4gB in about 10 years..... :-(

But his game was whinging......

He has can't remember motherboard, i5 750, 4Gb (I want my 16GB back), and the HD7970. The card is still quite decent, it's still coping well with all his new games he's got and they're pretty high end. But he will need to upgrade.

He gets his bonus at Xmas, which would pay for the new parts, inc a i7 and a GTX1080...keeping the case, PSU, D and E drives, (C: is so old I'm amazed it isn't dead), and the optical drive.

1441887 2017-11-13 19:54:00 Im shocked that people still get xmas bonuses :-) 1101 (13337)
1441888 2017-11-13 21:11:00 He gets one twice a year. he also gets paid overtime, not time and a half, but still. As middle management thats pretty good.

And they get performance presents, last year he got a $400 pak N Save card on top of $2500 bonus.
Bonus varies, on how much they made in the 1/2 year. Always decent though.

Anyway, couldn't stand the 4GB, bought another 8Gb this morning off Trademe, horrified how much DDR3 is now....
Oh well, longest I've ever kept a motherboard...........

Sounds like I might be interested in the Motherboard/CPU combo
