huuishuu, 23 days ago

to put into perspective how much i spent upgrading my old pc:

• cpu was changed 3 times (g3260 -> i3-4170 -> i5-4460 -> i7-4790k (current))
• ram was upgraded twice (first time because broken sticks and upgrade to 8gb ram, second time upgrading to 16gb)
• swapped the gpu on it 3 times (gtx 1050, gtx 960, gtx 1650)
• storage was changed on it more times than i could count
• used to have an after market cooler for it
• powersupply was changed twice, each time to accommodate a new gpu

the reason for its retirement this time is because i am a stupid fucking idiot and broke the cooler for it when parting it out to give my friend the gtx 1650.

i did get a replacement cooler, but the replacement cooler did not fit, it wasn't for an LGA-1150 type motherboard.

at that point i just decided that it's not worth investing any more time & effort into it, considering it's just going to be sitting around doing absolutely nothing.

hence, i've torn it completely down & put it away.
