Topic: My first gaming pc Posted: 09 Jul 2015 at 8:08am |
This is my first custom gaming pc. It's going to be displayed on a single hdmi monitor at 1080p. The types of games I will be playing include new releases like Ark survival evolved, Witcher 3, and games like Day Z and some older games. If anyone can give me feedback as to how well this configuration will work for me that would be great! Any feedback is welcome here. Thanks guys.

The GTX 980 Ti should be able to handle any modern game at 1440p easily and several at 4K. It should blaze through them at 1080p. So you've got nothing to worry about -- it's the single best card on the market right now IMHO.

Hi Davideazy..... Real nice build.
My only recommendations would be to change the Seagate HDD to the Western Digital Black for another $19. A better drive with longer warranty. Change the default cx750M for the EVGA 750W Supernova. Another $30 but you get a 10 year vs 3 year warranty and a Gold vs Bronze rated box. Hope this helps and good luck. |

Thanks guys, I was actually wondering about the power supply so I'm glad you mentioned that.
