Anything Goes / Cutstuff General PC Discussion
« on: October 18, 2015, 08:00:04 PM »
So a few days ago, I heard that there wasn't a topic like this in here and given my recent addiction to PC builds in general, I found that to be utter heresy. 
So, I thought of making this topic for people to talk about things like future PC game releases like Star Wars Battlefront (which will be released this month), recently released games for PC, their current/future gaming rigs and anything related to PC gaming.
So I want my future gaming rig to have parts that will remain relevant and/or reliable as the years pass and games constantly evolve and become more demanding. Given that I may be on a budget depending on what job I find, I cannot go with something more expensive like say a LGA2011-V3 build or even LGA1151 so this is my current list of parts for the build.
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790k
Cooler: Corsair H100i
Motherboard: MSI Z97A GAMING 7 ATX LGA1150
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive and a Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive for additional storage
GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 980ti/GTX Titan X
Case: NZXT H440 (Black/Red) ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU: EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
So with that aside, this is a enthusiast build with the final price ranging around $2000 with the peripherals included which I have not included here of course. For a monitor I want to go with a 1440p resolution monitor (probably a BENQ or Acer) which is where either GPU come in. I was thinking on going with a 980Ti given my possible limited amount of money but I heard recently that Star Wars Battlefront requires a Titan X to run in 1440p so that's why it's listed as an alternative here but to be honest, a Titan X is a huge turn off for me right now. As a final note, this build consumes 474 Watts (according to PCPartpicker) so if you're wondering why use a 850 Watt PSU it's because a PSU loses 10% of it's capacity each year and because I may overclock either the CPU and or GPU down the road and I want to make sure I have enough wattage so I don't fry all this expensive hardware.
Everything I know on the subject I learned from Linustechtips, NCIX Tech Tips, Techquickie, JayzTwoCents, Newegg TV, Paul's Hardware, CultOfMush, etc. If you want to build your first PC, Newegg TV has a two video tutorial on how to build one of your own from scratch (Both a Intel and AMD build respectively) with the first part covering the Hardware installation and tools required and the second covering the Software installation. If you want to know how everything works at a more in-depth level then Linustechtips, NCIX Tech Tips and Techquickie are the way to go. Lastly they're all youtubers so you can look them up there.
