Hi all,

 

I'm planning to build my own gaming rig, that is capable of running high end games, now and in a couple of years.

You can find my setup at: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/MrKickkiller/saved/3fUt

 

This rig will be mainly used for some gaming, some coding, maybe Photoshop and other intensive applications.

 

Thx for your time and effort

750gb are like 20 games. Not enough. Lol. MOAR STORAGE. 

 

 

Most games are like 10gb-20gb at most.. Only recently have games been getting bigger, half of them are big for no reason, titanfall: 50gb? And odds are you're not going to play everygame on your steam library on a daily basis. (inb4 "i play all my games everyday")

 

I think a 2tb would be much better suited to his needs. (especially since his original plan was a 750gb)

This would be better and if you want to get a 1TB SSD you could. Also if you want to SLI later you can change the PSU to a  750Watt.

Quote me to get a reply!
