Constant Adjustments on the site?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Nearly every single time I find something I like on the main website, especially under the Vanquish line it is gone by the time I am ready to make the decision and purchase it! Digital Storm has some AMAZING computers, like the Aura, for example. But it is way out of my budget. I strongly need to stay within my budget. 

Budget:

Under $1500. The lower the better it will be for me. :)

Expectations:

Be able to play Guild Wars 2 or World of Warcraft at "Good" quality graphics or higher. And to be able to support a second screen for Discord, or Netflix. 

I also need this computer to withstand being able to play games when the temperature inside my house is at 85 degrees. I live in a desert. 85 degree indoor weather is normal for my area. 

Usage:

Planning to play World of Warcraft at Good graphics (higher is nice too) while watching Netflix. 

Special Needs:

Probably liquid cooling? Due to my hot environment. 

Saved Ticket #: N/A

	I see what you mean about the vanquish being changed regularly. This new change, assuming its what it is and not being tweaked , has gone back to pre-built setups with little or no parts selection. The plus side of this is the bigger savings for the customer over a custom setup. Best bang for the buck. Here's what I would suggest for your budget and assuming you game on a 1920x1080 monitor or less. The gtx1060 will play those games the way you want, even better. Configuration Code: 1657991 Total Price with Instant Savings: $1,392.00 Direct Load URL: https://www.digitalstorm.com/configurator.asp?id=1657991 Specifications: Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Pre-built Digital Storm VANQUISH 6 - Level 3 Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: Intel Core i7-7700 (Turbo Up to 4.20 GHz) (Codename Kaby Lake) (Quad Core) (Not Overclockable) Motherboard: MSI Z270 PC MATE (Intel Z270 Chipset) (Up to 2x PCI-E Devices) (No SLI Support) System Memory: 16GB DDR4 3000MHz Digital Storm Performance Series Power Supply: 600W EVGA Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Optical Drive: DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 24x / CD-Writer 48x) (Internal) Storage Set 1: 1x SSD (240GB Digital Storm Performance Series) Storage Set 2: 1x Storage (2TB Seagate / Toshiba) Storage Set 3: - No Thanks RAID Config: - No Thanks RAID Card: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Graphics Card(s): 1x GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (VR Ready) Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio HPC Processor: - No Thanks Extreme Cooling: AIR: Stage 1: High-Performance Copper Heat Pipe Cooler HydroLux Tubing Style: - Not Applicable, I do not have a custom HydroLux liquid cooling system selected HydroLux Fluid Color: - Not Applicable, I do not have a custom HydroLux liquid cooling system selected Cable Management: Premium Cable Management (Strategically Routed & Organized for Airflow) Chassis Fans: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: Remote Controlled LED Lighting System (Multiple color options and lighting effects) Airflow Control: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks LaserMark: - No Thanks Boost Processor: Stock Factory Turbo Boost Advanced Automatic Overclocking Boost Graphics Card(s): - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my video card(s) Boost OS: - No Thanks, Please do not tweak the services on the operating system Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Home (64-Bit Edition) Recovery Tools: Factory Reset Feature (Restore Windows + Drivers) (Partition up to 50GB of Storage) Virus Protection: FREE: McAfee AntiVirus Plus (1 Year Service Activation Card) (Not Pre-installed) ($35 Value) Office: - No Thanks Game: - No Thanks Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks Branded Gear: - No Thanks Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 15-20 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: Life-time Expert Care with 3 Year Limited Warranty (3 Year Labor & 1 Year Part Replacement) The air cooler is all you need for the i7-7700 without the added overclocking. Your ambient 80's F room temp are fine. A liquid cooler wouldn't do any better in a warm room since they both use fans to blow the ambient air over the cooling fins to maintain the temps. Hope this helps.

	I really liked the choices so I can upgrade what I wanted. :3 The games I play don't need super high end graphic cards, so I was thinking of doing that AMD and get an SSD with the savings. But it appears I cannot do that nor downgrade! Thank you for that above build. I'll take a look around to see if anything grabs my attention again. <3 I thought about the entry level Slade as well or the Bolt. Are those good options? I have a rather small desk. I can fit two large 24" monitors on it. But, it has no room for a computer on the ground by it, I'll be keeping it on the desk behind the monitors. I was thinking maybe the Bolt would be ideal?

	The Bolt is an excellent pick , giving the customer all they need in a somewhat smaller package. Only restriction is no sli, meaning 2x graphics card, but that's getting less common and not something you'd need. Whatever Bolt you pick, I would get the 600 watt psu, not the 400 watt that's defaulted in some setups. The Vanquish is about $200 or so less expensive for the same performance, but it also doesn't give you any selections.

	Thank you! Do you happen to know how large the Vanquish is?

	The Vanquish is...21.65 L x 8.27 W x 17.32 H. If you hit "more info" under each selection you'll get the specs, etc.
