CryoVenom Build and Home Theater Upgrade!

So after a long break of not making/upgrading to a new system, I've decided to make a new build from scratch. I will update this original post with the finalized specs as soon as i decide them. But to start off, I'd like to show you what GPU I will be using. I've decided on venturing into the AMD platform, so I've gone with the R9 290. But it's not your run of the mill, stock 290. It's a custom overclocked 290, with an EK waterblock installed by Visiontek.

I have to admit, this is the most awesome packaging I have ever seen for a GPU. I'll let the pics do the talking:

Thanks everyone!
[MENTION=9503]mave3[/MENTION]: It was 550 dollars. I think its priced extremely well considering it came with an EK waterblock installed and overclocked. Most other 290's that are OC'ed are at the 600 dollar price point.

[MENTION=92022]limpix007[/MENTION]: I'm still waiting on the components before I can build the system. I've ordered them, just waiting for them arrive.

So here's a big update. Got the water cooling components! I've decided to give a try at rigid tubing instead of the standard flexible tubing. It's more work, but it looks ALOT nicer once completed. Here are the pics:

















Next post will have pics of my home theater set up!

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    I tried both NayaPay, and UBL, but I keep getting "correct country selected..." error. I already have PK set there 🤦‍♂️

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
