Thank you for pointing this out! Unfortunately I had already ordered the H170. Will just return it and get a Z board instead.

Guest, did you like the last podcast notification?? Well here's the second one, and for the third podcast! Yep. This Thursday 8-8-24 at 7pm Central
Go here to check out his podcast thread for info on topics and links!Go into the FoH discord and find the Happy Time Fun Hour channel and give it a listen!
Wish there was a better selection of IPS G-Sync monitors out there. The new Asus PG279Q is having some quality control issues and is almost $800. I can get a 50" Samsung UHD 4k Smart TV for that.
Went ahead and ordered my 1TB SSD. I figured $250 for a SanDisk SSD is about as good as I'll get.
As far as deals go, I thought I would point out that the i7-4790k has been dropped to $299. That puts it pretty close to the $270ish price that you can find the 6600k for right now.

Website is still fucked up for me for the last few hours. When I go to any newegg link, or type newegg.com directly into the browser, I get redirects and land on this page:

TVs have always been much, much cheaper than computer monitors, since they generally make bad computer monitors.
I spent as much on my 27" 1080p Samsung monitor 6-7 years ago as I did on my 50" Samsung Plasma around the same time
I went big years ago. Your brain and reflexes will adjust to whatever tiny amount of input lag there might be. I use a set of low input lag LG ips 1080p tvs in a surround setup. I tried out a 27 inch monitor surround setup after using a 40 inch Samsung VA panel for a couple of years. Couldn't do it. Incidentally, I liked the VA panel more than I like these IPS panels.
Rtings.com - TV Reviews - Best TV Recommendationsis a great site for hdtv reviews. Can order reviews by input lag, etc.
I was so very close to grabbing one of those samsung curved 4ks. They do 4:4:4 chroma,[email protected]/* <
if(t[e].getAttribute('data-cfhash'))return t[e]}();if(t&&(c=t.previousSibling)){p=t.parentNode;if(a=c.getAttribute('data-cfemail')){for(e='',r='0x'+a.substr(0,2)|0,n=2;a.length-n;n+=2)e+='%'+('0'+('0x'+a.substr(n,2)^r).toString(16)).slice(-2);p.replaceChild(document.createTextNode(decodeURIComponent(e)),c)}p.removeChild(t)}}catch(u){}}()/* ]]> */, and have respectable lag in PC mode, and very good input lag in Game mode.The Samsung ju7500 measures a measly 21.1ms input lag in Game mode. You won't notice that. Small price to pay for a glorious curved 40 or 48 inch mini imax on your desk.
The cheaper ones, the ju7100, js6700, and js6500, all measure in the mid 20s input lag. Still very low. There are some finicky things about the settings. And some characteristics that you might or might not be sensitive to, like the backlight pwm, ghosting etc. And the caveat that to get the extremely low input lag, you need to be in Game mode, which only does 4:2:2 chroma and turns off many image processing features. Still pretty good, and can always switch to pc mode for internet use if it's a problem. If you grab one, I would suggest reading the thread on Hardforum about them. Lots of good info in there about settings, firmware etc.

Samsung JU7500 Review (UN40JU7500, UN48JU7500, UN50JU7500, UN55JU7500, UN65JU7500, UN78JU7500)
I think this is the last day they are on sale. The 48 inch js6700 for $800, or the 40 inch for $650, both very tempting. Or the flat versions, the 6500, for a hundo less on the 48 inch, 50 less on the 40 inch. But I'm going to run this surround setup personally a while longer. I'll get some more use out of it, wait for Pascal and further 4k iterations I guess.
Also, I've never used a G-sync monitor. But I find a nice, steady 60 fps to be pretty fuckin smooth, so maybe I just don't know what I'm missing.

Anyone see anything wrong with this build?

I still need a case and windows and will order those next week.

Whelp. Spent a good 8 hours last night trying to figure out why my computer was f'd up and figured out it is basically scrap at this point. PPPpppprettttyyy sure one of my family members jostled it a little too hard during our move... lesson learned there.
I have a 6700k / 980 Ti / Intel 750 / etc etc new build on the way. Not super happy about it but my work is buying the remaining working components from old build for $500 so it makes the $2k cost at least a little palatable and Cyber Monday deals certainly help. I'll post pics when its up.

especially if you do any type of work, i've had 3 of these for a few years
Amazon.com: APC BE550G Back-UPS 550VA 8-outlet Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS): Electronics
So far i've had to replace the battery on 1. Look for "powered" outlets those are the ones that give power, this one has 4, perfect for computer/monitor/router/cable modem.

I'll take your scrap ready cpu / ram / ssd. There's no way they're actually broken.

Yup. I didn't say all the components were borked. But ruining the mobo/gpu is pretty easy if you unscrew the GPU prior to moving, yank on the power cords connected to it and break (loosely using that term) the PCI male end and tear (also using that loosely) the mobo slot at the same time. So there's that.
Rest of the parts are already sold gogusrl.
Translation: I could probably/maybe fix the mobo with fair bit of work but I'd rather just buy a new computer, the GPU is 100% fucked and work is buying the parts I know that are in working conditions so yolo?
