Kellatha 629 Posted August 27, 2017 So basically I am going to start from scratch and build everything myself. I have experience from my last build which started off prebuilt from ibuypower, and later I upgraded pretty much every component except the CPU. I'm really thinking hard about whether I should go for Ryzen(1700X) or the Intel 6700x. I could always wait for the Intel 8th gen, but I feel like Ryzen is the best choice at the moment. Any thoughts on that guys? I have seen so many performance benchmarks and majority of sources say the 1700x is better than the intel 6700x, except for hardcore gaming and the overclocking(which I wont do). I already know pretty much what I want to order, I'm just wondering on what Motherboard and ram would go perfect with them. Here is a list of stuff so far: AMD Ryzen 1700x or Intel I7 6700x - CPU Corsair 460x or Corsair Crystal 560x - Case Corsair HX1000i - PSU EVGA 1080ti FTW3 Edition - GPU Noctua NF-A14 6-8 of them - Fans OR Corsair AF120 8 of them Whatever generic 2TB 7200 RPM hard drive Cheapest 1TB External SSD CoolerMaster Liquid Pro 240 - CPU Cooler I might splurge even more depending on the total cost, if it's cheaper than I think it will be, then I will buy the Corsair HD series fans, atleast 6 of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mafiaso 2 Posted August 27, 2017 Why dont you buy a finished pc? I think that's easier. If not, then pm me. I can help you setup an insane gaming PC. I also built mine and it costed me around 1300$ total. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kellatha 629 Posted August 30, 2017 I have finally finished it and ordered everything except my case and PSU. AMD Ryzen 1700x Corsair 460x or Corsair Crystal 560x - Case (not yet) Seasonic Prime 750w Titanium (later today) EVGA 1080ti FTW3 Edition Hybrid Noctua NF-A14 6-8 of them - Fans OR Corsair AF120 8 of them (not yet) Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SSD x2 NXT Kraken X62 Corsair Vengeance 3000mhz 16GB(8x2) will buy another two later Thoughts guys?

IpidandClean 10 Posted September 3, 2017 OP build, should last a few years with almost anything (be weary of some amd cpus, they tend to not last as long if you try to OC) Its defintely a beast though, should be able to do anything on it except maybe 8k rendering Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kellatha 629 Posted September 3, 2017 AMD Ryzen 1700x - Got Thermaltake View V71 - Got (didn't get the corsair after all) Seasonic Prime 750w Titanium - Got EVGA 1080ti FTW3 Edition Hybrid - Got Noctua NF-A14 6-8 of them - Fans OR Corsair AF120 8 of them (not yet) Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SSD x2 - Got NXT Kraken X62 - Got Corsair Vengeance 3000mhz 16GB(8x2) RGB - Got Gigabyte Aorus GA-370X K5 - Got Lowkey excited to put this all together A lot of first timer brands in any of my rigs like Seasonic, Samsung SSD's, NXT, Gigabyte. Usually a corsair fanboy but this time the case wasn't available in amazon prime shipping and would get it like a week or more from now. Sticking to Thermaltake for case, Evga for GPU, but everything else i'm switching sides. Thoughts so far guys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did my research, sure I could of spent way more but I got the best for what I spent. 1440p 144hz Gaming on a 27 Inch curve samsung monitor with HDR , I'd say thats close to a perfect build the case was my third option, I originally wanted a Corsair/Thermaltake case but neither showed up "lost in transit" so I went with a mid tower all in one 360 mm liquid cooling.

jody 8 Posted November 11, 2017 Very OP Build, bring us on that adventure Keep us updated Let me see how the PC looks when you finished building it, Take a Picture. Best of luck, don't destroy it like I did with mine ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I very much agree with you but this is also a rather new build for me and I held off on some things because my brother may be adopting the CPU, board and RAM. I planned to get the 1700x like you but I was short on funds at the time. Also I wanted to wait for more motherboard options to come out and see how other boards were fairing with Bios updates. As for the RAM I currently have 3000mhz frequency like I said, but Ryzen's Infinity Fabric benefits from faster memory speed increasing single core performance. I'm not sure on which frequency I will settle on but I'm definitely satisfied by these beautiful G.skill Trident Z RGB modules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were my first choice but at the time the corsair vengeance rgb were on sale for $40 cheaper so i bought those instead. Only downside is they never turn off, even when my PC is on sleep. But I don't mind much, got a RBG night light lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I don't mind much, got a RBG night light lol Ah see it wouldn't bother me because I never put my computer to sleep, so I don't really have that expectation for mine lol. Though if you can buy a set of these and sell your corsair one's I definitely recommend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds wild Well considering this was 30 months ago, and inflation from mining was much higher I spent around $3200 on the rig, and about $650 in peripherals, $650 on the monitor as well so pretty much around $4500ish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
