Currently sitting at something like this.

Intel Core i7 6850k
Noctua NH-D15
ASUS X99-Deluxe II
32GBG.Skill Trident Z 3200MHz
Samsung SSD 850 Pro
WD Caviar Green 2TB
be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 650W
NZXT Phantom 820
ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 Advanced

I thought I would make a perfect build this time but I made so many mistakes again. I hope in 2 years I'm gonna build something better and a lot closer to perfection.

Er...what sort of mistakes do you think you made there lol?

(not criticising, genuinely curious, this looks great to me).

I was forced to build it earlier than I wanted due to my old PC exploding. That meant I had a good bit of cash less at hand than what I would've had right now.

That means I had to skimp on the CPU. Actually I promised myself after the i5 disaster with my last PC I would never ever compromise on a CPU ever again. I think I'd be happier with a 6900k or 7700k in my rig right now. Not that the 6850k is underperforming but it does just feel like a compromise.

I also made the stupid decision of getting a 650W PSU. That is much too big for single GPU and just a bit too small for SLI. Next time I'm going 750 for sure.

I still haven't yet my 960 Pro SSD for my games I wanted. It's still not released here which means my games have to run on my old 940 Pro.

My 4x 3TB Barracudas are still the old ones from my file server and they don't even have their own RAID controller. I had to use Win 10 storage spaces. I think my next storage will be 2x 10TB in Raid 1 and hopefully with a real RAID controller.

The mainboard is weird too. The plastic covering for the sound chips interferes with any GPU I put in. I wonder what kind of moron designed that.

The case did not come with enough USB3 headers so as of now 2 of my 4 USB3 connectors on the top of the case aren't functional.

 

I am not a person who likes building PCs, in fact, I go out of my way to avoid opening my case after I built it. So all these issues will probably remain until I build a new PC in 2 years or so. By then I should have saved enough to get myself a custom built one that I didn't have to touch myself.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

5 pages of people linking their specs but not a single person points out that it would be unlikely that you have 1TB of SSD and 125GB of HDD storage in your PC it is most likely the other way around in the harddrive department mate.

Still though, if people don't even read the OP's spec of machine it's unlikely that any other post here has earned more than a glance so I'll leave off posting my specs.

I guess most of us assumed he made mistakes posting his specs and decided to not say anything. Just like you, that didn't mention anything about the "3.7Ghz 1050ti superclocked" part.

He said Super clocked though!! Super clocked from 1.4Ghz up to 3.7

I mean... that would be breaking world records for overclocking, but still... it's possible. But I don't imagine anyone would have that system with a 150gb mechanical HDD in 2017 Could be wrong. Especially not in a PC which would be using Liquid Nitrogen cooling to keep that GPU from melting through the ground.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Just going to put it out there btw for anyone reading through this thread thinking "Jez, my PC is rubbish, where do I start making it run better and more enjoyable from a user point of view" The absolute first and easiest thing I would recommend that people look into upgrading would be change your HDD to an SSD.

Even on a really rubbish machine the change to a solid state drive for the OS can be absolutely amazing, from bootup time, program start time, loading reduction... noise, it's just one of those things which is getting cheaper and cheaper, now you can find 240gb ssd for under €100 and really there is no better upgrade I think for a PC than going from HDD to SSD.

imo of course! Wont quite be true if you're still using a AMD750mhz or PIII processor I guess :D

16 GB DDR3 2200(OC) Mhz
EVGA GTX 980Ti FTW
FuryX SSD 128Gb + WD Black 2TB
Antec HCG-900

Upgrading to an EVGA 1080Ti FTW(3?) around summer time.

The rest of the system will do another year or two until i see a compelling reason to upgrade. I'm not cpu bottlenecked at the resolutions i play (1440p/4k) atm.



PC I i7 3770K @4.5Ghz I 16GB 2400Mhz I GTX 980Ti FTW

Consoles I PS4 Pro I Xbox One S 2TB I Wii U I Xbox 360 S

I mean I feel like I could have gone with a higher level of ram and gone with some DDR4 which I would have liked. Either that or I could have worked on opting for a better Graphics card, but that was the best money could buy for me at the time. Or with how much I had. So I really did the best I could at the time, and plan on upgrading in the future.



The only other promblem to this other than some of the cost is the limited read and writes to the drive.
