So I did a thing...

Not quite a 1080ti, but should be plenty for what I wanna do with it. The 8700k should be great for 4k transcoding with plex.

Reused my Noctua NH-D14. Idles around mid-high 20's CPU core temps. Max I've seen running prime95 was just over 50. Bearing in mind that's not OC'd.

Do potentially have concerns about the GPU noise. Have to play a bit today, but it seems considerably noisier than the previous card...so half tempted to see if I can swap it for one with 2 fans to make it quieter.

Pick up an RX 580 for the same price as a GTX 1050ti if you're looking for something around the $250 mark.

 

It smashes the 1050Ti out of the park.

Yeah, that. Plus, turns out it's not the GPU fan making the noise, it's one of my case fans humming at a certain frequency. Also, I'm not going to be gaming on this thing, really...so I don't really need a monster card for uni assignments and plex server duties. If I decide I want to I can always buy a beast card down the track.
