What do you mostly use it for? It looks pretty good to me (blows mine out of the water), especially as a rendering/streaming beast. If you were building it today you'd maybe want faster RAM and certainly want a M.2 drive for faster file access. Have the 1080 tis really been out for a year? I'm falling further behind than I thought! Also, could I ask what monitor you use? I'm holding off on an upgrade until I can afford a better monitor as well, so keen to know what people are using.

Mainly use it for photo editing, graphic design and coding as I'm a freelancer. Obviously for gaming too! I'm using a Benq 24" 60Hz 1ms gaming monitor, probably not the best for colour acquisition but hey ho. Got it on the 07/17! so nearly ;) the only downside is it's slow startup, not sure if that's the beast firing up or if it's maybe the hdd's hindering its potential :(
