There were several factors that made me build this

1. i7 CPU - speeds up my Uni work running when Solidworks, Xilinx for FPGA synthesis, Video editing and being on the latest socket will last me for many years. Although I had the i7-4790K before it was more cost efficient to get the new chip and spend less on the motherboard when downscaling from an ATX build to Mini-ITX. A motherboard for the unlocked i7 CPU I owned before cost around 50% more than the latest. The price I sold my i7-4790K covered 86% of the cost of the i7-6700K.

2. GTX1070 - I pay my electricity bills and my whole system now uses 204W max during gaming sessions. Non-gaming 68W compared to 600W gaming/ 132W non-gaming of my previous build. The GPU also speeds up rendering Solidworks 3D objects and video editing much faster using Nvidia's CUDA cores compared with AMD's using OpenCL.

3. I enjoy customising..there's only one of it's kind in the whole world.

4. Desk Space... the small form factor uses less space and is extremely silent.

5. I sell old parts to buy newer parts, saves me money. I've reused most of the parts I already own.

6. This build is future proof for gaming we are already seeing PC gaming requirements slowly creeping up and DX12/Vulkan API's using up to 8 cores when compared to DX11 that uses a maximum of 2 CPU cores. I don't plan to upgrade for a few years, the missus has put a ban on upgrades.

True. It all floats up to "It is his money, he can do whatever he wants with it"....

The reason why I made that first comment is like you almost described "because I don't have as much passion for gaming as he does". I can go to the extreme for 'Pringles' whereas the o.p might not.

Babysho:
I'm very open minded so I totally understand; it's his money, he can do whatever he wants with it.
But I'm also a gamer, and I'm pretty sure that as of now-2016, there's only 1 or 2 games that require such a resilient system spec. I believe he took it too far.

The money spent can be used for more than gaming you know?

I might be wrong, you can mention me and throw some more light on your views.

I see,just like a laptop with really noisy fans, i know that feeling...at the threshold of an inspirational idea breakthrough, one needs absolute silence , which i prefer to describe as absolute peace

Babysho:
Nitori game.

Dude I agree that's why despite having g all the consoles , I still invested heavily in Elena (thats my gaming rig)
She is a modded Lenovo Thinkstation for gaming!
Top of the range Xeon processor
40gb ddr3 ram, 7 terabyte hard drive and nvidia gtx 960 extreme.
Inbuilt wifi
Lemme just say this , I run nba2k16 on ultra,minimize that run Witcher 3 on ultra, still minimize that and run Quantum break on ultra and not a single drop on performance while I open up programs like Photoshop with those three games minimized.
But like you said, I spent over half a million setting that rig up

This list is not complete. You left out one telenovela my sisters would die for back in the days. Even Mariam my neighbor no dey let person rest back then.

MARIA DE LOS ANGELES... One of the reasons my Saturday is always interesting.

I love passion as well. And also second chance was nice. But it was the last telenovela I saw.

Hehehe you just gave an apt description of kitchen hustle.... on Point!

Let me write mine too. But I'm not a fan of writing long essays. Anyway here is my story so far.
I came to Germany as everyone else and decided to learn the language first, during this period the kind of jobs i did were just the normal "Umzugshilfe" which literally is relocation assistance kind of work. I did this job because I was paid in cash, no giving of bank details and no tax whatsoever. Take note, if you are not strong enough, don't try this job. The last job i did nearly broke my spine after moving household stuffs from a second floor apartment to a third floor apartment without lifts and with a narrow stairs, that was what broke the last straw in me.
Meanwhile, I was earning 100€ monthly, if you ask me from where, i can't write that here. But it was legal and had all my records on it. So, the other job was just a side job which wasn't regular but I earned at least 50€ per day and the most i have earned was 100€ for 3hrs, thar was from the last job.

After my language exams my studies began, I was able to express my self to most of my profs in German and they were amazed as to how fluent i was in the language within a short period of time. This created an opportunity for me and I got a HIWI contract, my duty was translating a part of the University's' site to English. This was a turning point in my life. I worked directly from home at my convenience which gave me flexibility. Although it is always good working from home, but you need a high level of discipline if you want to achieve maximum work time. This job gave me the opportunity to play around TYPO3 and now i am good working with it. It is already on my CV..lol.

Before my contract expired, I got another offer to work in another Faculty as a computer technician and text corrector. my job details was simple, format bible text in office or latex and ensure all PC and projectors are working efficiently. I had to put the job on hold till August, this has been my work experience so far.
Meanwhile, I have also worked in a logistic factory for two weeks, earned some hard cash but the pain afterwards is a story for another day. I have not worked in the kitchen despite reading lots of adverts, most of my German friends work in a bar or club or restaurant. So its no big deal working in the Gastronomiebranche.

Please, how reliable is NIPOST? I received my Erasmus contract today and I was told to sign and send two copies to Lyon before July 15.

Can I trust Nipost to help me beat the deadline?
