I don't know if I will upgrade or not right now. If I do, I doubt it will be soon.

Probably good to wait a month or two by then they will have updates etc ...

Also get a good idea of stability after a few updates

Yea, most likely. I am even thinking of selling my FTW 3. I'll get something later.

Wow really you just got it right ?

Well knowing you probably have another good GPU like a 980 laying around

Like i mentioned before i think my 1080ti is taking a dump last night i heard a fan hitting the shroud scared the F out of me thought it was my H115i busted

It was just the GPU fan hitting

That's not a good sign. Wow. No, there's nothing wrong with mine, just may use the $ on a new build and get another one in another month or two.

Weren't you waiting months for that card? Why in the world would you be considering selling it?

That's easy. $ Stuff comes up and I could use it now if I want to do a new build. I'll get another one in a few months, or just wait a few months and do the new build. Either way, I'm not going into savings. I may be a prime example of one of the crazy new hardware enthusiasts, but I'm not really dumb on top of crazy. :)
