    What happened to the pone emojis?

    My favorite one with Lesson Zero Twilight is gone. ;-;

     

    Anyways, I'll try to get back to the forums as soon as I can, Real Life™ has yet to claim my soul. ಠ_ಠ

    Bye for now, hippomaniacs.

      An AMD 2700x, a GTX 1080ti, an ASUS ROG motherboard, two 8GB Corsair RAM memory sticks, a 4TB HDD, a 500GB SSD, a simple Blu-ray drive, (I wanna watch movies on this too), a 700 watt power supply, some fans, and I'm torn between a Corsair case or an NZXT one, but I definitely want one with good airflow.

      I'm currently saving up for this. I don't necessarily need this right away, since my current PC can handle games pretty well now that I've installed a new graphics card. I also want something that will handle games well into the future. What say you to my picks?

      I can't think of a better build at the moment.

      I'm currently using an overclocked 1700 at 3.8 GHz and 1.35V. With the Fractal Design S36 AIO radiator I'm using, it stays around 70-80C under a prime95 stress test on all cores. Under day-to day usage, even gaming, it's around 30-40C even with the radiator fans barely running.

      I love the 8 core Ryzens, because they're hardly ever fully utilized in day-to-day use. There's something satisfying about getting great performance, and seeing that CPU load is only at 20% at the same time. The only reason to buy a Skylake or Coffee lake is if you need 144 fps or more at 1080p or lower resolutions.

      I would suggest perhaps waiting for the 1180 instead of getting the 1080ti, but considering the state of the GPU market, there's probably no reason to. With no competition from AMD, Nvidia is becoming the new Intel, and I believe we'll see the 1100 series cards as overpriced and only minimally competitive.

      As for the case, I got a Fractal Design Define S for my own build, and I couldn't recommend it enough. It doesn't have any space for an optical drive, but there's a slightly different model, the Define R5, that does. You can watch a really good video review of it here.

      I've built a PC with a low-end NZXT case before, and I liked it. Even though that one was cheap, it was pretty well thought out. It was nothing special though. With Corsair's cases, I find them to be overpriced and mediocre quality. I wouldn't recommend one at all unless you just really like their style.
