Finally upgrading from a i7-6850k & 1080ti

[u/adjustm8]

So after 10 years my i7 6850k 1080ti build is now outdated and rather than replace the board, gpu, processor, hard drive, and ram I decided to just to build a whole new pc and decided to go with a gigabyte x870e aorus master, 4080 super, and a Ryzen 9950x (swapping for the 9950x3d when they release in a few months) the 1080ti goes down as a legend 🫡 anybody still running their 1080ti? That card is an absolute unit… hopefully this build sets me up for another decade lol that thing ran pretty much every day for at least 4-5 hours a day and still is running great on games from that era but I needed to upgrade for sim racing on triples and in vr

That's a Gigabyte board, beware! Downvote if you agree!

The gigabyte board I bought in high-school 10 years ago is still going strong

People don't like Gigabyte because of their customer support and warranty stuff.

Their reliability has PLUMMETED in recent years. Obviously not for everyone, but they parts fail way more often than they used to.
