Posted January 1, 2017 So I've been slowly refining this list for a while now and have decided to ask you all for some advice. What do you think? Anything helps. Thanks! Here is the PCPartPicker page: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KV6FCy. A few things to note: - I mostly plan to game. Perhaps some very minimal 3D modeling using SolidWorks. - My budget is around $1000 (US). - CPU: I already bought it so I'm kind of stuck with it. - Hard Drives: I also already have the 1 terabyte HD. Also I plan to run the two solid state drives in Raid 0 for boot and for my games. I want to use the 1 terabyte HD to back these two up. Also many many people have told me I don't need the 3 terabyte HD. Lets just all save time and let me tell you I do. If you have any other questions just ask and again, Thanks!

Posted January 1, 2017 @DarthJake On your PCPP list, you put in a custom $299 for the GTX 1060 FE card. Have you bought it already?

Posted January 1, 2017 Author Wow. Sorry on my part. Taking way too long to respond. Had something to do. @Freezanator I was going for a Black/Red color theme and as for the GPU I have not already bought it. That is just the price for it here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1060/. @nerdslayer1 In regards to peripherals and a monitor (maybe 2) I haven't really given it any thought except I'm kind of leaning towards a Razer keyboard and maybe even a Razer mouse. Again sorry for the slow response and thank you both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) Here's what I would suggest: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/84Dy8K All is the same minus GPU and CPU Cooler, and the 480 GTR should outperform the 1060 in every way, especially for upcoming titles. Also, the Cryorig H7 is notably better than the 212 EVO in almost everyone who has used both's eyes, it's smaller and it looks better, plus it's easier to install.
