I’m sure there’s plenty of people on this forum who are as into gaming as I am, so hopefully you can offer some sound advice! I’ve literally just finished listing the final parts for my build after much contemplation and confusion, but finally I’ve settled. I need a fellow enthusiast who knows more than I do (can’t be difficult) to offer some advice on the components below and to make recommendations in relation to upgrading/downgrading components, or simply going for a different model/brand. This PC will strictly be for 2K gaming (with future 4k potential), streaming and video editing, so keep that in mind!
- CPU: Intel Core i5 7600K 3.8GHz Kaby Lake (maybe an i7 upgrade, undecided)
- GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 8GB STRIX
- RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) 3000MHz G.Skill TridentZ RGB (will later add another 16GB)
- Motherboard: ASUS LGA-1151 STRIX Z270 ATX
- PSU: Be Quiet! 700w BN275
- SSD: 250GB Samsung 960 Evo PCIe NVMe
- HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda 3.5” SATA III
- Case: Corsair Crystal Series 570X RGB Tempered Glass
- Case Cooling: Corsair SP120 RGB 120mm LED 3-pack
- Case Lighting: RGB LED Strips
- CPU Cooling: Cooler Master MA610P OR Cryorig H7 Quad Lumi
- CPU Thermal Paste: Be Quiet! DC1 Performance Thermal Compound 3g
If anyone here has a sweet rig of their own - not the Supra [emoji6] - I’d love to see a specs list and even some pictures if it isn’t too much hassle. It’s a complete nightmare trying to choose PC parts as their is such a variety to choose from, so seeing what others have opted for would be very helpful indeed. Thanks guys!
