Topic: Looking to get a new system(thinking Bolt 3) Posted: 05 Aug 2017 at 2:44am |
Way overdue for an upgrade, still rolling on my ODE from 6 years ago(with some minor updates over that time of course) and looking at the Bolt 3's. Thinking of going a little more over the top than in the past and looking around the $2500-$3k mark.
Right now with one of the base set-ups looking like this.. Specifications: Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Pre-built Digital Storm Bolt 3 Exterior Finish: Exotic Paint Finish - Lust Red Side Window: Edge to Edge Premium Acrylic Processor: Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2 GHz (Codename Kaby Lake) (Unlocked CPU) (Quad Core) Motherboard: MSI Z270I GAMING PRO CARBON AC (Intel Z270 Chipset) (Mini-ITX) (Up to 1x PCI-E Device) System Memory: 16GB DDR4 3000MHz Digital Storm Performance Series Power Supply: 750W Lian-Li PE-750 (Platinum Rated) (Supports up to GTX TITAN Xp) <br><strong></strong> Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Optical Drive: DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 8x / CD-Writer 8x) (Internal) Storage Set 1: 1x SSD (480GB 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 1080 Ti 11GB (Performance Edition) (VR Ready) Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio HPC Processor: - No Thanks Extreme Cooling: H20: Stage 2: Corsair H100i GTX - 240mm Radiator Liquid CPU Cooler (Extreme Performance) 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 Black 120mm Fans Internal Lighting: - No Thanks, Front Panel LED Lighting Only 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) wondering if any suggestions on changes to make, also plan on picking up a 4k monitor in the near future as well, I'm guess it's best to buy that elsewhere as the Asus 4K Ultra HD 28 inch PB287Q Series they have listed as an add-on here at +$569 is $399 at amazon. |

Hi Cletus... You nailed it on the build. All great picks.
Not sure the games you'd be playing but for high end 4k gaming a sli, 2x gtx 1080Ti is needed. The single will play anything out there on 4K, just have to turn settings down. Sli would mean no Bolt. Under Recovery, pick the CD and/or partition for a bootable Disc if the OS drive dies. Definitely get the monitor elsewhere. I'm still on my ODE from 6 years ago with an upgrade or two. Looks great.
