I already had an old viewsonic display that I'm adding plus an old black wd 1tbhdd. My GPU is from my old computer so I'm not upgrading right now.

Good call on the solid state drive, it seems pricey at first but it is well worth it for the speed in the end imo.

The rest looks good as well, I doubt you'll have any heating issues. The 660 ti 2GB is more than capable of handling majority of games out there, or rendering.(I'm running the same)

Enjoy it, take pics and post em! First builds can seem nerve-racking (at least for me it did) just take your time. Enjoy the new PC!

(hope nothing arrived DOA :( )

Yeah, 1.2k is pricey but that's mostly from the 1TB ssd which will last in regards to $/gb. ( in the 1TB+ range)

Throw in a new monitor for a dual screen setup and that's half the price.

For a first time build if you have the money and are happy with what you got/wanted. Then it's not bad at all. Most 1tb ssd run North of $500.

I said that I had the gpu from my old computer. I bought it a year ago so I just transferred it. I know the set up is a lot of money but I tried to save where I could and didn't cheap out when it concerned the mobo and the cpu. Btw a lot of these prices were cheaper when I bought it so I probably spent about 150 bucks less.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
