Well, let's do a recap on my rigs:
This is my first PC. Just a retail HP with an added GPU. As mentioned in previous post a couple of years ago, the specs are:
-Intel i5 4430 @3.0
-12GB Ram
-EVGA GTX 750ti
-Anything else is just the normal stuff you get on a brand computer. This PC is still running. Currently being abused by my roommate.
-Being used with an HP IPS 22 inch non-gaming monitor.
This is my first custom gaming rig. I love this thing. Taught me so much on computers. I got it about... two years ago? Still have it, still use it. It was built with maximum performance in mind, for the smallest budget possible, that is why it has a bunch of basic parts. Specs:
-Corsair Carbide Spec 02
-ASUS Z170-F
-EVGA Supernova bronze 750w
-i5 6600k Overclocked to 4.2GHz
-Coolermaster tower air-cooler (not sure the model)
-Crucial DDR4 ram kit @2133. 8(x2), 4(x1) for a total of 20gb
-EVGA GTX 970, later upgraded to an EVGA GTX 1070
-ASUS ODD
-Seagate 2tb HDD
-Used with an ASUS 24 inch 144hz 1m/s 1080p gaming monitor
And this is my latest rig. As some might have seen already, I created a new thread asking for advice on how to build a PC myself. It's been almost a month, and after a few mistakes, a broken GPU on arrival, going over budget and long waits, I finally have it with me. This PC was built not only for maximum power within budget, but also aesthetics in mind. Specs:
-Corsair Crystal 460x
-ASUS Rog Strix Z370-E
-i5 8600k super mild overclock, 4.3GHz Turbo Frequency permanently locked on all 6 cores.
-Watercooled CPU by a Corsair H100i V2
-G.Skill Trident Z 16gb DDR4 kit @3000mhz
-MSi GTX 1080ti Gaming X(formerly an EVGA 1080ti SC2 which was unfortunately DOA)
-Crucial MX 500 (500gb) SSD
-Seagate 1tb HDD
-EVGA Supernova Gold 750w
Running on a Dell 24 inch 165hz, 1m/s , G-Sync,1440p gaming monitor.
