Well I've been a little crazy and bought a few things so, I thought I'd share with everyone the purchases
Another Seasonic 650w Focus unit.. Brand new, never been used according to the owner on EBay and for £70 ish I think it was, good value as well
Perfect!!
Next up I saw these two GPUs and I thought to myself, what a wonderful world,... No, not that... Well here goes, what's generally better than a single 295 X2, well of course two of them but then whats even better than two 295 X2's is two full cover water blocked cards and a for £102 each, I am very happy
They cleaned up pretty well indeed. Not that they where massively dirty but still, a little clean never hurt anyone.....
And then whilst I was looking at the Steam sale, I saw The Sims 4 which reminded me, I'd like to get that for the Mrs's but trying to find a physical copy of it is well next to crazy that hasn't been added to accounts and whilst I don't mind only paying a few quid to get them to try, I'd rather put that few quid towards one that's not used.....
So I saw this, messaged the seller and said, what are you looking to sell it for.. I gave them my max of £15 posted, they came in at £14 posted... Good enough!!
Never look at the DLCs for this sort of game on Steam to find out how much they all are... Jesus it makes your eyes water.....
Now this board I'm not really sure what I was doing when I looked at buying as it was a mates CP that was getting unusable so me being me, seemed to find one boxed and it seemed to be in great condition... So again, messaged the seller and so on.
When he messaged back about making sure it was well packaged and the like I was this guy hopefully knows what I'm after type thing, but when it turned up without the CPU cover over the socket I was stunned... I quickly checked and just made sure I couldn't see any damage and thankfully, no I couldn't.. What really confused the living doo doo out of me was the fact it was at the bottom of the box... Why wouldn't you cover the CPU socket to make sure you got the board there in great condition is beyond me... Still, a little message to the seller about that one....
Now there I was saying to
@Knoxx29 about not buynig a Enermax PSU, well, I found one!!
Used to have these PSUs when I was using an AMD APU system for my general day to day rig. Worked really well so when I saw this one, I thought, um, knocked down from £15 and paid a bit under £9 for it, I thought I'd done alright.
Now last but not least, I was just a little unsure of but well went on and bought it anyways....
Since all the 6000 series and the 3000 series have been difficult to get unless you don't mind paying a little more in places or being lucky finding one in stock, I was looking at one of these models of card.....
Now if I'm honest I was more so thinking about it being a mining card (I really run them very gently in comparison!) and being that it's water cooled, the power and temps should be really rather decent. Looking around I could see a few Asus Tuf models and a few Strix and then the odd Nitro+ from Sapphire and the Devil cards too but when I saw this one being water cooled... I thought... Here's the card
Never used and as you can see pretty much in perfect condition, in the current climate and sitation with GPUs, I thought the price for this one was decent considering and I was glad I picked it up
The box wooooooo'd me when I saw it in the flesh, was very happy
And here's a board sent up by an old friend who's been having problems with it (an older system I had back years ago) so I'm looking to test this and see if I can find the same issues....
I did say to him, for gods sake don't ever send things like this again please!! Hopefully no issues with this one but we'll see
The guy that sent it to me never has any luck when it comes to hardware. Can sell him something completely setup and working and in some way or other, it'll stop working properly.... Must just be him I think... Good old Picnic issue.....
There's a few more things on the way but I'll update again when it's all arrived
