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.

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.

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

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.

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.
