[dipablo]

So i just finished ordering all my stuff and thought i would share, and if others want to share there current or future builds!

Its not so much a gaming rig but something to edit my RAW photos and video editing, and some gaming

Here is my build:

i7-5820K 6 core
Asus X99Pro
32gb ram ripjaws 2133
GIGABYTE GTX 960 4gb (a little outdated i know but its not really a gaming rig)
500gb SSD
5Tb Hdd 7200
Cosair H115i AIO

Nice setup. You have some big numbers there. Are you doing heavy duty video editing on it?

There are only a few things better than a new computer! Congrats on the new rig! :thumb:

Lol...outdated... That card will play any game out there right now on ultra settings.

Here's my rig.

AMD FX-8150 8 core (3.6ghz)
Msi 970A-G46
12GB ram
EVGA GTA 960 4gb
1TB and 1 500gb HD (sadly neither is SSD)
Roswill Green Series 80plus certified 630w power supply.

Haha yea i say outdated because of the new gtx 1080 that is coming out this month puts everything to shame!

Thanks! Not yet but that is the plan in the future! Right now its mostly photo editing but I do want to get into Video. Also it will be my 4k player, still need the 4k tv but one step at a time

I have a toaster with a 660 and it plays pretty much everything.

makes me want to get a new gaming rig, i have that same graphics card though and it's all you really need right now.

i7-4770 3.40 GHz

16 GB ram

ASUS P8H61-M

EVGA GTX 960 4 GB

CORSAIR CX series CX750M 750W PSU

[Dennis.1960]

Have fun with the new rig! I used to build my own optimized for flight sims from about '99 to '05 when the graphics cards cost more than a state of the art MB and CPU put together

Honestly what you have will likely last for awhile. My CPU is a bit outdated, but it's not bottlenecking me. When I was younger it seemed like you had to get a new PC every 6 months to a year to keep from getting out-dated. Now it seems like you can just do it in small chunks here and there. My CPU was originally released on 2011 (so it's 5 years old) I'm still running games like the division on full graphics with every setting cranked and not seeing any drop in FPS.

I'll probably have to upgrade my CPU/Mobo/ram in the next year or so, but at this point it's not anything like it was 10-15 years ago when parts were outdated soon after buying them.

Would you mind putting the cost down for your overall build (if not each individual piece). I've been kicking around building a new one as it's been a couple years

Agreed, i mean im building a "new" rig but using a chip made 2 years ago. Honestly thought about getting a i5 as that would have worked fine, but i want to this PC to last a while so i spent a little more to "future Proof" a bit, as much as you can with a PC

yeah i just got the graphics card and PSU last fall and i'm happy with it for a while. i don't have a SSD either like you, that's what i want to get next but it really isn't that necessary for casual gaming IMO.

that's also why i'm not running to build a true gaming rig.

Keep in mind my Budget i set was $2k, so i was pretty happy with the price i ended up with. Also already had wireless key board and mouse and monitor is my TV so didn't need those expenses. I moved those funds into extras like more ram and 6 core etc. Going intel also added $200 from cpu alone, so if you go AMD you can save more money.

I will state that the average gamer could save about $500 on your setup by just going to an AMD, chipset and getting a lower end Mobo. I paid probably $70 for my Mobo and probably another $80-90 for my processor.

Obviously we've discussed your rational behind going intel so I'm not saying at all that you did wrong in going the route you did. Just pointing it out for anyone else wanting to setup a mid-range gaming PC.
