The 1080 MONSTER

[Brandi93]

Homemade, carefully crafted 1080p Monster!

Should be future proof for at least 2-3 years

Price of Components : 

 

GTX 1080                             ~ 400 euro

Mobo + CPU + RAM combo ~ 220 euro

Storage (SSD & HDD)          ~ 50 euro

PSU (750W Silver Rated)     ~ Free (was in my possession)

Peripherals (WiFi and MKB) ~ 50 euro

 

Total PC Price : 720 euros

 

Specs :

Samsung 40" FULL HD TV

 

EVGA FTW GTX 1080 8GB

Intel Core i5-8500T

16GB DDR4 2666 Mhz Dual-Channel RAM

ASRock H310CM-DVS Motherboard

120GB Patriot Burst SSD

1TB Western Digital 7200RPM HDD

Windows 10 Pro-64bit

Corsair Professional HX-750W Silver Rated plus PSU

 

TP-LINK 2.4 & 5Ghz WiFi USB

Generic Wireless Mouse & Keyboard

 

 

Performance : 

 

Destroys any game at @ 1080p

 

Red Dead Redemption 2 ~ ULTRA ~ 60+FPS

Far Cry New Dawn ~ ULTRA ~ 80+ FPS

Cyberpunk 2077 ~ ULTRA ~ 45-55 FPS 

AC : Valhalla ~ ULTRA ~ 60+ FPS

 

 

Future Plans : 

 

Next (Around 2023) I will move onto 4K Gaming hopefully. Something like an i7 12th Gen + RTX 4070 should suffice. 32GB & 1 TB SSD would be nice extras

Budget for next build should be around : 1,500 for PC + 500 for 4K TV = 2,000 euros.

2 Sounds apt, with how we are going to have 6/12 CPU configuration as the norm with DX12 and Vulkan titles being released every week.

It seems like a decent build, but I would not suggest to buy a 1080 for 400 Euro and just for 1080p gaming. It's still even fine for 1440p. Since you will be using a Full HD tv, I think you are aiming for 1080p 60fps. In that case it's better you look for something like a GTX 1070 Ti, 1660 Super/Ti or RTX 2060. Also, the CPU can be a bottleneck in some games that are CPU demanding. Actually your post is a bit unclear, do you have all components or is this your build plan? And you plan to only use it for 2 years? In that case get better components I'd say.
