Hi everyone!

Can I ask what country you are in?

And can we assume this is for gaming?

[Sabroo]

Gaming only. I'm from Slovakia.

PCIe SSD??? (and Kingston!)

1000 Watts???

3TB HDD???

I5 for 4k???

hybrid GPUs... eh, it is the default PCB

 

Also, those are american prices, they will not work in Slovakia

-what's wrong with PCI-E SSDs ?!

-this system draws around 700W, nothing wrong with a bit of headroom

-What's wrong with 3TB

-Hummm, can't see you point 

-Yes hybrid GPU, MUCH MUCH higher boost clocks out the already beastly 980Ti

-I know, his budget is around $2600, a simple conversion

1. Nothing, just was amusing in this build, especially with M.2 being much cheaper.

2. true enough, but not necessary

3. Nothing, but again, not necessary here

4. The I5 will struggle with AAA titles at 4k

5. Hybrid GPUs are good, but that one specifically uses the base PCB, the 980ti Sea Hawk from MSI will be much better

6. right, but prices are very different in Europe because of import taxes. 

 

A 980ti goes for 700 euros base price in germany (1 euro is 1.08 USD)

- i wanted to suggest M.2 but than though let's go big, besides, PCI-E SSDs are slightly faster 

- i wanted to go for an 850W but than again, headroom is always good when ever possible 

- you never know 

- i don't see why ?? modern titles are becoming less and less CPU demanding 

- i'll admit, i didn't know it used the reference PCB, so yeah, a sea hawk or a water force would be better 

- i know witch why i deducted about $100  from the budget (ish  )

M.2 has a much better price/GB ratio and great performance. 

Fallout 4 and newer titles are getting MORE CPU demanding.

The difference is a lot more than $100 USD, that difference will cover 1 980ti alone.

-i know it performs great, but i hope you can understand this, techie to techie, PCI-E just is better (for bragging rights at lest) 

-naah i refuse to agree, games will always rely on Graphics Card horse power for the most 

-i understand, thank u

1. true

2. I have found myself more and more CPU bound, even with my 4690k @ 4.5

3. Yeah, you gotta be careful about this kinda thing with every other country. US has the best prices by far.

i know, but the thing is, it's just a couple of titles out there that are heavy CPU workloads, and Fallout is the only one of em that actually counts, so to go down a completely different more expensive root for one title is not ... well you get it (i posted another build, sniped the old one) 

[Sabroo]

Well, you don't have to care too much about the money if my computer will be better, I will pay more. The max budget is 2700€

again, HEAVY misinformation. The 4790k will handle 2 or even 3 980 tis

i never said he couldn't get a 4790k...

 

if he's got the money, why not just get skylake... might as well

Do you think I should go for 16GB RAM or 32GB RAM?

No need to get 32GB. 16GB is more than enough for gaming and multitasking.

[Sabroo]

I like the build of Stardar, would you change something in his 2nd build?
