My new build (i7-8700k)

[Rich_Fireskull]

Hey everyone! I ordered parts for my new build Saturday and they’ll be here later today.

Here is a PCPartpicker link for it:

I will also be putting a WD 2TB Black drive in it very early next month, as well as possibly another ssd. Most likely a 250 - 500gb sata 3.

As for my gpu, I am waiting for the price to come down on the RTX 2070 some... so I am going to continue using my current MSI Gaming X RX-470 8GB and put my older R9-380X into my current computer.

So I've had it up and running for a few days...

Here is a Geekbench of the CPU at stock settings http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/12576372.
And here is one for it running at 4.5Ghz on all cores http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/12602216.
And finally... A Geekbench running OC'ed at 4.7Ghz http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/12655651

Here's a CPU-Z screeny


And... Here's HWMonitor for current temps


The temps are surprisingly good under normal gaming loads... I'll thank the Noctua NH-D15 for that one.

Here is a quick peek of the inside for everyone.

I'm back with some benchmarks! Sorry for the wait. All of these benchmarks were run with the 8700k clocked at 4.5Ghz
