I will try to make this short.
Several years ago bought all new parts and put together a new system with an i5 2500k, Gigabyte Z68 Motherboard, 8 GB of RAM, Antec Power supply, and a GTX 660. It was a great system until a few years ago, when my buddy decided that his 4790k didn't have enough cores. Being a buddy, I took it off his hands, and paired it with a new motherboard and ram. A very old Compaq was retired from server duties and I bought a cheap case and some extra RAM for the new file server (which now had enough power to be my media server). A few years later, my GTX 660 was finally not cutting it for me, and in went a GTX 1060 and a newer power supply (as the Antec had a few years on it at this point). Not too long after that, summer vacation started, and the main rig was being used all day long, since the old Core 2 Duo Dell in the kids room isn't playing much more than flash games these days. So the file server got the GTX 660 and the Antec power supply to be relocated to their room and it hit me...
I JUST REBUILT MY 2500K DESKTOP - 8 YEARS LATER! (only case and drives are different)
Thought I would share, it gave me a chuckle!
