I bought my first Digital Storm computer back in 2011 and I'm still using it today with a few upgrades including 8mb to 16mb Ram and a Geforce 1070. I still love my system that plays all the current games. So why did I need a new system you ask. Well my son is now 16 and loves PC games. Well I been wanting to play games with him for a long time. So now that I have some extra money I went ahead and bought myself a new Digital Storm PC for myself and passed my old DS system to him so we can finally play together.

Let me know what you think of the setup.

Do you need that 1080?

Go with 750w modular
go with 960 oro

Think about a better cooler should we need to oc across all cores

I thought about getting a bigger PSU but when I looked up power usage is was way below 600w.
