Specimen pt. 2

[P0ck3ts]

 

Budget (including currency): Unlimited (though I would prefer to keep it ~10k)

 

Country: USA

 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Right now CoD Warzone/Smite, but will play more games and RPGs in the near future. Also, Video editing and music production will be done on this PC

 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): MAX ME UP. Will start to purchase parts by the start of the year (if not sooner)

SOME PARTS MAY BE MISSING BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON PC PARTPICKER, OR I FOUND SOMETHING BETTER FOR A LITTLE LESS ON ANOTHER SITE. Just because I am sending this link DOES NOT mean that these are the exact items I will be buying, but it is just a starting point to get an idea of how much money I will have to spend so that I have (at least) a general idea of what I am dropping.

 

The PC will be used to Game/Stream, Produce Video, and Produce Music.  Yes, I know that this build seems extreme. I want it extreme.

 

If you reply to this thread, please keep it legit. Why this, Why that? Tell me why not this or that. Don't flame my build. Just help me with it.

Also, is 5100 RAM too fast? I know it is only 16GB, but I figured if it was running at 5100 over something like 4200, it would still be faster?

Changed the case, the SSDs, the RAM, the OS, and then removed the keboard & mouse, fan controller, network card, and other stuff ...  because, unless you're getting those at reasonable price, this list seems to be made by sorting by the most expensive, or you added stuff only to raise the price.

 

Oh, and I added a cooler ... Still a ridiculous build IMO.

Thank you for the feedback!

 

So a few questions regarding the modification you made.

 

Why did the SSDs change? (I looked for the fastest I could find, are those not it?)

Why change the case? (I was looking to show off a ~10k PC)

What makes the 32GB ram better at 4000 than the 5100? Is it the amount available? (I am more computer apt than most, but not as much as a true enthusiast)

 

The keyboard, mouse, and camera were chosen for various reasons. One of them being that they are all the same brand and would look good together and I believe the software would be compatible with them (the logitech software). The keyboard was chosen because I like the little screen, but also because I like the amount of macro keys. I will be using those keys often for a few of the things I have planned for this build. The mouse was simply because I liked the design, it (as far as I can research) is well made, and software.

 

The fan controller was chosen because I liked what it looked like, and thought it would look nice sitting at the front of that TT 900.

 

As for the power supply, I figured I could upgrade more peripherals as it became needed as long as I had the power for it, I can see where you would cut back on that though.

 

Again, I appreciate you replying!

Oh, and I should mention that pcpartpicker is just being used to provide me an easily changeable and accessible list. I will do more research into what sites have what for less money when I get closer to actually purchasing these parts! So though it may seem like I just threw the most expensive stuff I could find together, I didn't. There are plenty of far more expensive things I could of put had I just done that.
