Build video coming soon! This is just the teaser because we're dirty teases, sorry. We'll probably take this down and hide our shame later. BUT! for now, you need to enter to win::
@w.meri You're not the only one. Also the 280 rad is pretty beefy too for just an i3, even if it's overclockable. I think that at stock speeds you could even run the CPU passively with the rad in the top.
@wendell Teaser videos are "fine". What gets on my nerves (and probably many others) are those million parts videos for dumb things.
On the original post cluck show more find the gleam link click said link and enter. To enter I believe you have to subscribe to the two YouTube channels.
I have not entered yet. But I believe that's how it's done.
Actually I can never enter these draws because I don't have account on any of those social networks. Not even youtube. Sad me. but it's ok I could buy all those things today if i wanted to.
But seriously, I have no need for a system, so I'll sit this one out. I hope this winds up going to someone who really needs it. The i3 is an interesting choice, but in reality, it should be able to handle most things you throw at it. It's a mid-range 1080p build and all you'll really need to get to high-end 1080p or 1440p is realistically a RX480 or the likes.
I like the build and am eager to see @kreestuh's cable management skills. If they're anything like the Linus wall, it's going to be beautiful.
CPU was a tossup for us. The i5 7400 is probably a better value tbh but we didn't know that before we tested the i3k. Too little too late. But hey upgrade the CPU and GPU which is what we intend for the winner . The other parts are top shelf
