I have a huge window in my sidepanel, so I'll be seeing the GPU all the time I want it to look cool.

Right now I'm running on the integrated GPU that's on the i5 6600k. I've only recently built this PC and I've decided to wait for Polaris instead of going with a R9 390 and I'm happy I've waited

Ahh, cool. I regret I didn't buy a case with a window. I love how cool they look!! Where you can see through and your PC parts emit nice lights.

So, u on purpose decided to run with integrated graphics for a little while in wait for a GPU you would feel good about? And now the RX 480 with its price/perf feels perfect? What was your last GPU then?

The window is cool, since I have LED lights on the motherboard, CPU watercooling, even the power supply and I've bought very sexy RAM modules (G.Skill Trident Z). I want the GPU to be the crowning element and I hope it'll match all other elements, since they do match each other.

Yes, that's exactly what I did. I've decided that 2-3 months won't hurt me since I have a lot of older games to play and I was right, since this iGPU is surprisingly good and runs all the games I want to play now at max settings. Right now I'm playing Witcher 1 with many mods and it works like a charm. Dawn of War 2 runs great as well, I'm downloading World of Tanks and I'll see how it works, I plan to play the Mass Effect Trilogy soon and try the Wii emulator out - I expect everything to run smoothly.

Previously I've used a laptop, didn't have a desktop PC at all, as I used to play on consoles. But I'm very happy I've returned to PC gaming.

 

@Shikamaru317 - right! Better OC capability is another argument for axial coolers. They are the better choice - simple.
