So last year was not the best year, I lost my Father in law, Great Uncle, and Grandmother.
Wife said I can spend some of the money I'm getting (I'm NOT suddenly a millionaire or anything!).
The goal is a serious upgrade from my current machine, some future upgradeability, Price $1750 or less and the lower the better.
I need a strong dependable machine in a nice case that is easy to work in with good cooling.
I am not interesting in flashy leds, case windows, or anything else obnoxious even though that's what all the kiddies want these days.
Mainboard needs to have good vrm cooling with good overclocking for memory and cpu, does not need wifi as the machine location has ethernet.
I was thinking of water cooling but after looking at my budget and reliability I'd rather just have a huge heatsink instead.
so on that note, what do you guys think of this?
