Another new PC build
Just wanted to see what you guys thought. I know there are some like minded folks on here.
I really liked Ryzen but the deals where so good on the Intel stuff I couldn't refuse. Plus, I game, I don't do Photoshop etc, and I will keep my 6 core 12 thread machine for a streaming box etc. The 7700k is still the winner in single threaded applications, and 4 cores and 4 threads on this is plenty for maxed out upcoming AAA titles at 4k. My original plan was to reuse a bunch of parts from my current rig, but as I got deeper in, the hardware deals are SO GOOD right now that I am only going to end up reusing my SLI 970s, and my PSU from my current box, both of which will be replaced in upcoming months. I put the REAL price I paid for everything, and everything is brand new with the exception of the aforementioned GPUs and PSU. Oddly enough, every single lowest price thing on PC partpicker I was able to find cheaper elsewhere, mostly through www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales, which included the free p400 case with the mobo purchase. I am REALLY in love with the case, except for the possible airflow restriction on the front, and I do plan to mod the front panel for straight through airflow. I also really wanted to go with the Cryorig A80, which is a 280x27mm radiator, but its sold out everywhere, so I 'settled' on the A40 ultimate which is the big body 240x38mm radiator, at the cost of about 1 degree Celsius in performance. You can also see that I only went with a single 500GB m.2 NVMe drive, and that is because I basically leave everything in the cloud and download on demand since I have gigabit internet, but I will add a mechanical HDD to it next month when I also upgrade to a big boy monitor setup. After Vega releases I will see what GPU prices do, and end up with a couple of 1070s or 1080s, or possibly a vega GPU depending on the market. The 7700k will be delidded before it goes in the machine. I did not list the 24 dollar delidding tool and the 10 dollar liquid metal for that. I will be shooting for AT LEAST a 4.8 ghz stable OC, and I will definitely push it to 5 to see how it handles it. All in all, I got away for a thousand bucks. Not bad for a top of the line gaming PC. Here we go! PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel - Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($295.00) CPU Cooler: CRYORIG - A40 ULTIMATE 83.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($128.00) Motherboard: ASRock - Z270 Taichi ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($189.00) Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($98.00) Storage: Samsung - 960 EVO 500GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($219.00) Video Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 970 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 Video Card (2-Way SLI) Video Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 970 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 Video Card (2-Way SLI) Case: Phanteks - ECLIPSE P400 ATX Mid Tower Case ($0.00) Power Supply: Corsair - 850W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($0.00) Operating System: Microsoft - Windows 10 Pro OEM 64-bit ($32.00) Total: $961.00 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2017-05-24 19:35 EDT-0400 Tell me what you guys think, and where you think I ****ed up! |

Reusing an old 170 series mobo with that new chip? That doesn't seem good. Would have to flash bios upgrade wouldn't he? What's a "G20"?

Haven't bought anything for it yet except an SSD. I've read quite a few reviews that it runs pretty quiet and cool. I can vouch for the quiet part. It's damn near silent Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Getting a bit nervous over the future of GPU prices. Miners are going nuts right now. They've already run out the stock of RX 580's and shit and now 1070's are flying off the shelves. Just checked my PCPartpicker build and the EVGA 1070 I had on there is $80 higher because Amazon, Newegg, Superbiiz, etc are all out of stock. Only Best Buy has it in stock.
