Waiting for AIB Vega cards (w/Custom Coolers)? Well...be prepared to keep on waiting.

Good looking card, to me the best looking Vega so far. I wish I had the same luck as you, no PowerColor Red Devil vegas left. Can you tell us about the cooling, if its noisy? from the reviews it does really good in silent mode.

Looking for recommendations on a non-gaming build

This will do more than fine, but if you want to do some more serious gaming you should replace that 1050 Ti for the 1060 6Gb or even 580, but the prices currently are not optimal for that. PCPartPicker part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/F7ggd6 Price breakdown by merchant...

Waiting for AIB Vega cards (w/Custom Coolers)? Well...be prepared to keep on waiting.

Looks like the first 56 cards are out. Sapphire and PowerColor seem pretty big improvement in terms of thermals and noise. Im feeling more like the Red Devil, looks like a solid cooler... what do you guys recon?

EPOX EP-8K7A

Loved the Epox mobos! Such fun days vmodding and pll wiring :D I think probably thats why they went out of business... so many overclockers trying to hard mod their stuff, I guess their RMA was too high. Now use mainly Asrock stuff, they are supper overclocking friendly and very robust.

Building a new PC, Ryzen 1700, I have many questions

True, VEGA is just around the corner, let's see how it performs, you should def. wait. Even if it doesnt beat, might push nvidia to lower prices as AMD will have to compete with pricing. For PSU, go with eVGA, you dont need anything more than 600w. Motherboard I would go for the X370 Taichi if...

And that looks like a very decent card. But I might look into grab one PowerColor Red Devil Golden Sample to take it for a spin, I guess there will be more overclock potential. :D

Looks decent, but would maybe for for the Fatal1ty if you can afford if your serious about overclocking. Other than that I would say its pretty decent price feature set.

Recommendations for a Motherboard

Well, actually thats pretty true, when it comes to overclock, don't cheap out. But what you might not know is that actually AsRock gained its name from overclocking, they build the best overclocking boards around and yes even compete with asus.

I wonder if its from AMD side or Asrock side, they are having issues, would be silly to have the CPUs but not the chipsets to go along with it? Maybe Asrock didn't expect such high end demand?

I've dropped MSI long time ago, they been trash since ages... Made the switch to Asrock and never looked back, already done many builds using them and never had to return and or came with any major issues.
