Programming + 4k gaming.

[Chris Hasinski]

Hey, I'm planning to replace my current desktop PC (i7 2600, 16 GB RAM, 1080 GTX, GoodRAM 120 GB SSD + 2 TB HDD).

 

I play games (right now I have a ultrawide 1440p display, but I'm considering upgrade to 4k or ultrawide 38" 3840*1600).

 

I'm quite sure I'll buy a 1080Ti when they are available and a second GPU (older AMD? Nvidia 7xx series?) to run things that do not run with Pascal, so dual GPU support is a must.

 

After buying those GPUs and monitor my budget is around $1700. Any help choosing parts?

 

64 GB RAM is a must. Programming and gaming are the use cases for this build.

only $1700

dual GPU's? one 1080ti -$700

64gbs of ram? - minimum $500

plus you want a 4k display? - they start @ $300.

 

$1500 of your budget is already gone. Not ganna happen   

 

Rethink what your goals are. If you stick with your current monitor, that'll save. reduce to 32gbs of ram - Saves $250-$300

I have $1700 after buying GPUs and a monitor  So the rest of the build should sum up to around $1700 total.
