does wanting SLI for better performance count? if so this is my "official entry" for US 680. a 2nd 680 would keep this system going for another year or 2 :)
 
officialy in for the USA Card!
 
I'll make this an official entry for the US 680. It would be an upgrade to the 760 I have in my wife's rig, and the 760 would then be promoted to the PC downstairs in the living room, replacing a 6850.
 
I would like to make an official entry for the EU card. I have a comparable card in my main system, however winter is coming and my HTPC in the cosy sitting room is sadly lacking in GPU grunt.
It has been lovely commandeering a corner of the kitchen for the summer but my oldish bones will soon be screaming for warmth. Xeonorator will continue to crunch to keep the kitchen warm on 12 threads at 4.4ghz and i reckon a Q6600 @ 3.0ghz will be an adequate pairing for the 680 (till i succumb to the Xeon urge again !!)


It would be a fantastic replacement for a HD 5850.

Going to take a long while to get the bubbles out of the loop, but construction is pretty much done. In addition to the 780Ti that @the54thvoid graciously passed forward, I updated the pump to a D5 w/ plexi EK Top and, against my better judgement, revisited Mayhems Pastel line with their Ice White coolant. I'm painting my PSU cover white to hide some of the cables and the drain line.

Again, huge thank you to @the54thvoid for the card and @Norton for coordinating its journey across the ocean. The block on the 680 I am paying forward has a bit of oxidation that I am going to try and clean before it finds a new home.

Not sure yet- depends on what folks are willing to put into it. A nice socket 1150 gaming rig would be cool :)

*note- we have plenty of time- christmas is still a few months away ;)

Well, that's a few generations newer than anything I have coming in. Could have offered up a Z77 board and an i5 for it, but I haven't had anything Haswell in months.

OK. I'll test it out when convenient to make sure that all is well. Worked fine at school with a Sandy Celeron but no guarantees it survived the trip home. It's a MSI Z77 board of some sort (no IO shield) and I can offer an i5 2400 or maybe 3470.
