New PC after moving accident.

Hi Possum..

Here's a build to check out.  It gives you the latest 6 core cpu at a very good clock speed for gaming and streaming.  

For 4K gaming you want at least the gtx 1080ti and maybe an sli setup, meaning adding another 1080ti down the road for high to max graphics settings in games.  This build has the mobo and the power supply to accommodate the extra 1080ti.

If you stayed at 1080p or 1440p, then you could stay much closer to budget with a 750watt psu and a single gtx 1080 or 1070, 1070 for 1080p and gtx 1080 for 1440p.    4K high end gaming can get expensive. 

I added the Samsung 960 evo m.2 drive, which is more than the DS one, but you know what you're getting and has the better warranty.

Forget to mention...this case doesn’t have a built in optical drive.    You can select an external in the configurator or get one yourself.    With optical drives being less and less used, it’s becoming more popular.

I still have 3.5 inch discs sitting in my pc table, just because.   How many thousands of those 1.44 meg discs would it take to install Shadow of War at 60 gigs ?    New sometimes is better.   

Originally posted by DST4ME Lol bp you realize that was the same as my build

Yes, and your build was the same as mine earlier before gpu, psu change.     

Let’s face it, mine just looks better.   


I was typing, pasting, posting before I saw your update.

Somewhere in the deep recesses of an old home office, stacked ever so carefully on my MS-DOS 3.1 manual is my first back up files on 14 8" floppy disks.

8" floppies.
