Parts List for ULTIMATE 4K Gaming PC Build Guide

Posted

This ultimate build guide is all about getting a great gaming experience at 4K. It's a no-compromises machine... but one that also doesn't just dump money down teh toilet for the sake of it, so while there might (read: will) be stuff out there that's a better bang for the buck, every piece of this monster DOES have a purpose.

 


 

I'm going to list out the components as well as provide a source or two for where you can get them :)

 

I can't tell you where to buy this stuff, but I do lean towards NCIX for the Canadians (and International viewers if their pricing and shipping costs work out for you) because they're my bros, and for Americans, Brits, and a couple other regions, the Amazon links below are affiliate links, so of course every little bit helps :)

GET HYPE

 

Also, I see you, sneaky end text.

"M. Aronnax." replied the Canadian, "your arguments are rotten at the foundation. You speak in the future, 'We shall be there! we shall be here!' I speak in the present, 'We are here, and we must profit by it.'"

O.o

 

Why 32gb of ram though?

 

I agree that would be fine with 16gb

tres gusta, the core specs were pretty much what I expected from the title (admittedly minus the RAID 730s) :)

I think these build guides are biased to Nvidia, 290x is superior at higher resolutions.

Intel did sponsor this build guide... And most others too. That's why in the thread he even says that there a better parts for the money out there. As for the 780ti's, my guess would be In LTT benchmarks they are higher because they've gotten better overclocks out of them.

Yep. I don't think those other guys really pay attention to anything.
