Post pics of your rig/setup

Behold, the most powerful rig on the market.

Nothing fancy:

i5
8GB Ram
GTX 970
SSD

Just have it hooked up to my tv, mostly use it for Sherdog, Netflix, Spotify and playing some steam games mostly with a gamepad.

Look closely and you can see the photo's of Sensei Seagal.

Forgive the potato picture quality, took it at night just before showering.

I3-8350k, 16 gb ram, gtx 1080 in an air-cooled microatx build. SSD+2hds.
. Just transferred it to a new desk so I haven't lined up the monitors or tied up the cables yet. Old desk is now dedicated to working.

Why did you go with the 8350k?

At least he has a central vacuum system.

Why did you go with the 8350k?

I needed a new CPU (and everything else), prioritized single core speed (which I understood this does really well), and got a discount for the motherboard. The extra $200+ for an i7-8700k didn't seem worth it to me, since I was trying to keep my build cost down around 1000. I didn't succeed, but I got pretty close.

What are you doing with it if you don't mind me asking. Also, what do you have it clocked up to?

I would be curious to see what you could clock it up to (much to @jefferz question). I am toying with the idea of building either an AMD 2400g system, or an 8350k (as a gaming box for my nephew) and I wanted to see if the IPC advantage of the 8350k made it worthwhile over the more well rounded experience of the 2400g.

Gaming. Mostly DF and PUBG right now.

I'm a bum who did a very minimal OC to make sure I could do it successfully and then didn't do anything more. I keep putting off actually putting it through its paces. Maybe ill get on that this weekend. Apparently I'm missing out.
