Haven't decided what I want to do. I don't feel the 290X is a big enough upgrade from the 7970, and I'm still hearing people complain about the drivers. As for the green camp, I've read that the 980 is on par with the 290X, but beats it in power draw, especially at idle. Of course, there's also talk about a slight refresh with Maxwell like Nvidia did with the last tech. I'm half-tempted just to wait it out and see what the next wave of GPUs is like.

I almost bit on a 295x2 two different times, but I'd have to get a waterblock for it, too. "Have to..." lol - I would "want" to get a waterblock for any new card I get. Seeing as I don't game a lot any more, I have a hard time grabbing a dual-card setup, when most of the time it's going to sit idle. However, if someone wants to buy the 7970's I have (the two in my FS thread and maybe even this one), I might be more tempted to upgrade.

Scratch what I just said before the edit. I now realize you spent time wiring it as it is.

The 5960X seems upside down? Or at least the text on it is upside down?

Then again, there might be some things about LGA2011 that I don't understand.

Beautiful pics man
Now what about upgrading your GPU?

Done

Yes, that's the correct orientation for this board.

I have the same gpu and love it. Finally able to play games at 2560x1600 with a single card (and with decent settings).

Very awesome @t_ski :toast:

I missed this thread last year but I'm catching up now, and. I love what I'm seeing, especially that beast gpu!

Looks good. Nice build :toast:

t_ski · Oct 31, 2016

Thanks. Changed the motherboard, ram, CPU and video card, but not much time for proper pics.

HammerON · Oct 31, 2016

Are you going to stick w/ the GTX 980Ti? I might upgrade when the 1080Ti comes out.

No, that was part of the upgrade, too. Currently running an EVGA 1080 SuperClocked.
