I'm hoping that someone in my office would be interested. I don't want to have to deal with people on Craigslist or the other sites.
    Let me know what your old rig is and asking, I am looking to get an older gaming PC to run virtual pinball, which shouldn't require a lot of GPU.

    This is way overkill for that. It’s an i7-4790k with 16 GB of DDR3-2133mhz RAM and a GTX 670 FTW. I wouldn’t want to ship it, because it has tempered glass on the front and side panel of the case. I was asking $550 for a local pickup.

    Oh, and the SSD I thought was 1 TB, is actually 500 GB.

    I have an old LGA 775 board and a Core 2 duo (E6300) with 8 GB of DDR2-800 RAM I could sell on the cheap. I also have an old 1GB GTX 460 laying around. I also have the 2 Core Pentium “25th anniversary” CPU and a Z97 board that supports NVME SSDs.

  4. I can't convince you to ship? It shouldn't be too bad with padding and tightly wrapped. I can always use another case if the case doesn't survive shipping.

  5. PM sent!

    That case is a work of art. I'd definitely make sure that it was boxed in wood and heavily packed. I'd hate to see it go to waste.

    I'm FINALLY able to start upgrading my PC. Starting with mobo and cpu. I have a i5 4670, and I wanted to get a b550 and a Ryzen 3300x or a 3600. I'm not doing 4k or anything. 1080 for me. Am I making a mistake.?

    I don't even know if you can get the 3600 new, anymore. AMD quite selling them over a year ago.

    Might I suggest the 6 core i5-11400f and Tomahawk Z590 Motherboard. You should be able to get them for a good price on Amazon, or New Egg, if you don't have a MicroCenter near you. AMD wants to much for the 5600 that replaced the 3600.

    There's also the Asus Z590 P Prime motherboard, if you think that the Tomahawk is a little too pricey.

  8. Amazon has this Z590 board for $138.

    And they have the i5 11400f for $168.

    https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-1140...s%2C181&sr=8-4


    You should definitely look at getting an NVME drive, once you've decided to buy storage. You won't regret it.

    That sounds like a whole lot of good idea. I'll def look into that. I appreciate the feedbacl

  10. No problem.

    Once you get that thing built, I might be able to hook you up with a good price on my old EVGA GTX 1080 Classified. The card is still pretty powerful, for its age. I’m running Cyberpunk on high settings @ 1080p and getting well over 75fps with it. I just want to replace it with a 3070 or 3080 soon.
