Topic: My New DS Machine Posted: 05 Aug 2016 at 12:26pm |
Here's my build... Have had it a couple of weeks now... FANTASTIC!! Easily handles everything I've thrown at it; I have never heard the fan even speed up a little...
The most-demanding game I have (and the main reason I bought the new 'puter) is Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf, which I couldn't even play on my old desktop and could play on my newer laptop if I dumbed down the settings... This new monster handles it with extreme ease, graphics options at the very highest settings! The only problem I have is with the integrated sound. I can't record music off YouTube or anywhere else. I was able to do so on my old machine, which also had RealTek integrated sound. I have found a workaround, though... YouTube Downloader browser add-on. Since I found this workaround, I haven't even bothered to ask Tech Support. Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Digital Storm VANQUISH 5 Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: Intel Core i3 6320 3.9GHz (Codename Skylake) (Dual Core) (Not Overclockable) Motherboard: ASUS/GIGABYTE (Intel Z170 Chipset) System Memory: 16GB DDR4 2666MHz Digital Storm Certified Performance Series Power Supply: 600W EVGA/Corsair 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 Certified Performance Series) Storage Set 2: 1x Storage (1TB 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 970 4GB (VR Ready) Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio HPC Processor: - No Thanks Extreme Cooling: High Performance Cooler with Large Fan and Copper Pipes 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 CPU Boost: Standard Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 Automatic Overclocking Graphics Boost: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my video card(s) OS Boost: Yes, Disable and tweak all of the non-crucial services on the operating system Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Home (64-Bit Edition) Recovery Tools: Windows Recovery Toolkit (Bundled with Windows CD) 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 10-15 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: Life-time Expert Care with 3 Year Limited Warranty (3 Year Labor & 1 Year Part Replacement) Edited by LoveMyDSPuter - 05 Aug 2016 at 12:28pm |

Congrats! I'm glad it is working out for you! Have you tried "The Golf Club"? Its supposed to be pretty realistic.

I have not tried The Golf Club... But I have seen pics of the game. They are to come out with The Golf Club 2 sometime next year, and *that* game looks like it *might* be competitive with the realism of Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf.
