Trying to build a cheaper gaming PC to get into the PC Master Race. Tell me if it's good or absolute crap:

CPU: i7-6700

MB: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII GENE

GPU: RADEON RX 480 8GB

WIFI: ASUS PCE-AC56 802.11ac Dual Band

SSD: Samsung 950 PRO M.2 NVMe 256GB

HDD: WD Black 1TB 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s 7200rpm

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz C16

CASE: Thermaltake Core V51 ATX Mid Tower*

COOLER: Cooler Master Masterair Maker 8

PSU : 600B Bronze*

OS: Windows 10 Home

*I plan on upgrading when I get the cash

I start every day with a nice hot cup of Linus.

I thought FTW is f*ck Taiwan.

If you touch Sony's Cledis, it could be damaged.

Oh good for you, smarty pants, here's a f*cking gold star.

The sauce will never die.

What's the budget going to be for this PC-Build/Upgrade? :)

Pretty much just under 15 and it barely gets it

Yeah... I've been thinking the same for the last minute or two.

Then again though, my current "soon-to-be" PC isn't that cheap, unfortunately but... ya know xD.

What are the specs on it?

Well, it's a WIP (Work In Progress) project at the moment but what I can say is:

  • It's not only for Gaming but also for development/workstation :P
  • Aaaand it's a bit more than ya expect because I'm in the UK which means GBP is juuuuuust a bit higher than USD xD

But the total for it at the moment is £1,400 ish which according to Google is near to $2,000.

A bit high for me buuut... that's Ok.

Hey I'm Xiauj ^_^ Wassup :3

Listed at the moment is a GTX 1070 but I'm thinking about changing it to a GTX 1080, not sure yet.

To shed a bit off the price, you may want to go with dual RX 480's. The fps get close to the 1080 and sometimes over. But it depends on the resolution you'll be gaming on. For 1440p, look into the RX 480's but for 4k and above definitely go with a 1070 or 80

I could yeah but, a few applications that I'll be using requires NVIDIA's CUDA-Cores sooo, no AMD this time.

 

My build is quite similar to @herman mcpootis 's above list actually, because mine uses an Intel Xeon CPU also :P

Nice, never thought of using a Xeon before because I thought they were all on LGA 2011. Only thing is I'd rather not have a SATA SSD, but I see an M.2 slot on the board. May replace the 980ti with dual RX 480's because it's better performance and not much more money

Yeah, I never did much research on Xeons and I thought they only fit on LGA 2011, but now I see they work on 1151 too
