What's your latest tech purchase?

Nice looking case even in black on black.


$120 for that power supply seems kind of expensive granted it is a 80+ Platinum rated.

As I posted, the prices I paid are not what you see now.
That PSU was marked down, plus a 15% Off Code which I applied. If it wasn't for those discounts I would not have bought a Platinum Rated. The pricing made the overkill worthwhile.
Everything I bought was cheaper that you see now. For example, I had to complain to Newegg about their so called "Sale" when they raised that price $25 to give a $20 "Discount".
I got the case for $46 with Free Shipping Expedited, that shipping charge was over $15.

PSUs rated 80+ Platinum are expensive, for that money they could offer at least a 750W instead 650W, i paid for mine 230€, 80+ Platinum.

I don't know if you think this is a good dealie, but I paid $101 for this PSU.

I highly recommend this Mouse, it has every feature in an enthusiast device you would usually find in the $60-$80 price range. I just received this in the mail, which I bought two of them:

In addition, I recently purchased this 3M Mouse Pad for $8.71 as a gift for a TPU member who was experiencing dermatitis from the rubber in a Pad that he recently purchased. The price is more that I normally would spend on a Mouse Pad, but I've been using one of these daily for a year now, and it still looks like new. It is as the name says, very precise. I highly recommend this Pad for everyone, but especially if you have a reaction to Latex.

you got ripped off oh wait ... your's is a 1000W (not that it's useful since nothing in that rig would eat more than 700W, even with a 1080 SLI, but the price is correct ) but the other at 120$ for a 80+ platinum ... it's a steal not a "expensive one" here it's more gold or even bronze that cost that price for 650/750w ... (I.E.: my M12-II 750 ... )

80+ Titanium 750W 157chf
https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/produc...w-power-supply-computer-5890688?tagIds=76-524
i suspect Digitec to have mixed up the rating and it's a gold at max ...

80+ Platinum 850W 199chf (aherm ... a corsair, my least favorited PSU brand ... )
https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/corsair-hx850i-850w-power-supply-computer-3457984?tagIds=76-524

almost the same price as yours 240chf
https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/produc...w-power-supply-computer-2727610?tagIds=76-524

i think my 115chf M12-II still has some year before her ... 750W Bronze ... more than enough even if i SLI or go for more hungrier component than those i already have


(at last ... one thing i can avoid to "compulsively buy" )

I know that very well but why not if i can afford it?

When you decide to buy an Enermax PSU you have to take in consideration that you will pay: their name, quality, the PSU model, watts and if the PSU is rate Gold, bronze or platinum, i could buy an Enermax Platimax 80Plus Platinum for 187€ but because i chose the Overclock edition i paid 47€ extra, but once again why not if i can afford it.

(at last ... one thing i can avoid to "compulsively buy" )

That's good.

I don't buy compulsively, i just buy what i have been buying all these years, i have my trusted manufacturers, which are:

Motherboard - Asus

CPU - Intel

Ram - G.skill

SSD - Samsung

HDD - Western Digital

Graphic Card - Evga

PSU - Enermax

Monitor - Asus

They are expensive and i am aware but i have been using it for many years and i am more than satisfied with those Brands/Manufacturers and till i will be building Machines i will be buying it.

Names and quality has a price.

nope ... yours is cheap (for a 1000W and same pricing as a Super Flower Leadex which IS a cheap, but reliable, brand) ... and Enermax is not Seasonic ... (although i positively love Enermax .... my CoolerGiant 2mm thick alu casing is agreeing with you ... )
paying only 2 time the price of my 750W bronze ... i definitely would for a 1000W Platinum ...

also most of my trusted manufacturer, nonetheless ...
G.Skill is not what i call expensive (a bit like Kingston in term of pricing )
Samsung is getting cheaper (i hate Samsung except for SSD )
HDD i also trust Toshiba (most of my drives were WD for a long time )
CPU well ... i go wherever the wind carry me ...
GPU ... EVGA is my "do not buy" because of a personal experience (once with a 460 and once with a 580 ) i am more a MSI but i got card from nearly all known brand and most of the time never got an issue ... the issue is always the user, eh? (except in EVGA's case ... NOT MY FAULT! )
monitor ... mmhhhh my Philips is not bad ... although i am eyeing at a AOC or BenQ-Zowie 1440p 144hz next ... (cheaper but a bit more "lottery" type if i am not mistaken )


reminder ... there is some Platinum and Titanium PSU above 400chf ... soooo 230€ is ... not that high

That's what i always say, a 230€ PSU it's not expensive but for many users it's.

Btw talking about purchase, i can't wait for the 7700K

 

[TheMailMan78]

For what do you need a Rifle?

What don't I need it for is the question.

 

[GreiverBlade]

That's what i always say, a 230€ PSU it's not expensive but for many users it's.

well i have a slightly under average wage ... and i still can't find 230€ for a 1000W Platinum, expensive

Btw talking about purchase, i can't wait for the 7700K

well since most Z170 mobo will be updated for it ... i wonder why i would not wait for the 7700K too ... (the only "upgrade" over a 6600K nonetheless ... judging by the meager IPC improvement .... but as i do not use my CPU for encoding nor do i see a real benefit for more than 4 thread atm ... i wonder )

if i had a 6700K ... then i would never be tempted to upgrade to a 7700K (more a sidegrade at a higher cost )

i guess i wait to see what Ryzen will be priced like

 

[P4-630]

but as i do not use my CPU for encoding nor do i see a real benefit for more than 4 thread atm

It has also crossed my mind to upgrade to i7 6700K, but the thing is with gaming my CPU isn't a bottleneck yet and I may even buy a 1440p monitor somewhere next year and looks like I don't really need a new CPU, for showing off in benchmarks is fun ofcourse but I won't be buying it only for that reason and 7700K , I just don't need it now even if I had the cash.

 

[FireFox]

if i had a 6700K ... then i would never be tempted to upgrade to a 7700K

My 6700K is not older than a few weeks but when the 7700K will be available i will upgrade and the 6700K will finish on Ebay

 

[GreiverBlade]

My 6700K is not older than a few weeks but when the 7700K will be available i will sidegrade

corrected

Still torn in whether to go with an AIO or Air cooler, I'm watching for a sale price on this item which will match perfectly with my new White and Black case:

That is my biggest fear with water cooling!
I currently have a Corsair H80i, and am looking to sell it in a used parts build.
Was it just that device, or is this product known for failures?

 

[Shou Miko]

Mby a bit old and not brand-new but last week I purchased this bundle bcs the seller didn't want to split it up.

2xDell BizLink and 3xDVI-D 5m cables for about 48USD / €47 / £39 (A brand new Dell Bizlink costs about £60 on Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003XYBA72/?tag=tec053-21)

I been planing about trying out one of these active dvi-dp adapters for some time but didn't knew if I should try Apple, Club-3D, Dell, or Startech's adapter but with prices starting around $82 / €79 / £66 I just took the deal to try it, so now I run 85hz on DP instead of 100hz on DVI with my Yamakasi Catleap 2B and the hz doesn't really bother me now I got dp for when they r planning to discontinue dvi on graphics cards
