Could you check out my build?


AMD FX-8350, EVGA GeForce GTX 660, Phanteks Enthoo Luxe - System Build

Just a simple workstation for programming, and running multithreaded tasks, and doing machine learning.

Can I run CUDA optimized code on that GPU?
And does everything look efficient, and compatible?

  1. The water cooling will be louder & more expensive and not that much cooler than a good Noctua air cooler
  2. would not use a 3TB Seagate hard drive ... they have a very high failure rate ... Hitachi may live longer
