Was able to put together a couple of bucks soooooo. Just had to take the plunge. I looked around and have enough DDR4 3000 memory (32GB) and everything else needed for a new build so I have an Asus Tuf Z370 Plus Gaming MB and an Intel i7 6 core 8700 on the way. Have to see what this will do if coupled to a GTX 1060 and a GTX 1050 TI.:D:D:D

Nice! I'm limited to keeping my old hardware operational. Maybe someday I can do the same. Here's hoping. I'm currently babying a Z600 with failing memory.

Wow, that sounds like an awesome build! Congrats, I'll bet you hit a lot higher in your goals this year with that thing. :)

New 8700 is up and running and numbers are way up. It sure is nice to see 16 threads of WCG or Rossetts plus 4 Goofyfx and of course WUProp running. WCG is running at about 2:45 per unit and the 1050ti;s are putting out over 1 mil on GPU Grid. Now I have to find more DDR4 3000 memory, power supply, HDD and a case to put the "old" 6700K into. I am going to looke at all my spare parts and see what I have. I think I have everything except the memory. I might just take 16 gb out of the 8700 and see how that works.
