New PC Build

Hi All,

I’ve been waiting for the past couple of years to build my next PC and I keep changing my mind when to do it! But the time is now!

Here is what I’ve come up with so far:

Would you change anything?

I’m after something which will last, my current PC is around 6 years old… an old i7 920, only upgraded the graphics card (GTX 670) and put an SSD in it.

Cheers,
Steve

In a relatively high-end system like that, I’d get 32GB RAM and a 1000W power supply. Aside from that, the other components look good.

What’s your intended OS?

Windows 10 I guess for the OS…

1000W is a bit overkill these days even with SLI. I may up the RAM depends on the budget

Just a question: how many times this new computer should be faster then the actual one you are using?

The ‘incremental’ power (in CPU/GPU/HD speed/Memory speed) in the last years is getting lower and lower…

I still have an AMD Phenom II X4 955+4GB RAM+gfx Radeon HD5700, and an ‘old’ HD – and sometimes I get the ‘monkey’ to change everything… then ask myself for what and stop thinking

ps: just read that AMD has shown its last ZEN CPU (no sure when it is sold, maybe at the start of the next year). I would way just a moment only to see an hoped fall in the price and a little bit more competition on the CPU field (Intel prices are just a little too high for my tastes!).

 

Cheers
