New build replacing old rig

[lucky644]

Had a budget around $2,500 cad, lower the better of course.

 

I mostly do Gaming & 4k Media streaming over Plex & Nvidia Shield to my Living Room.

 

Old PC was a i7 950 & EVGA GTX 760 SC.

 

Wanted to stick with Intel & Nvidia.  (need nvidia for the Shield)

get ryzen 1700, wait for vega or get a 1080ti.

Wait for Vega. I think we're all collectively hoping that AMD has a wildcard this generation.

This might prove a problem, I use a Nvidia Shield to stream content/games to my living room.

So you have had a bad experience. Doesn't make the entire brand shit.

I really dislike razer switches, razer synpanse isnt that good, and the build quality is pretty bad.

Keyboards and such are purely opinion, no more, no less. You're entitled to your own opinion. If OP wants to spend the extra $20-$50 on the Razer, his call.

[ArcticSalad]

I'm just going to throw this out there. For your budget you can easily fit in a Ryzen 7 1700 and GTX 1080ti.

I didn't include a keyboard, pick whatever you want there. I didn't include windows either, you might be able to reuse your old windows key.

Rosewill PSUs are pretty noisy and bad quality, read lots of reveiws. Get a seasonic M12II 620watt, on newegg. Not sure how much canadian money it is but after 20 dollars rebate US its 40 dollars. It will be cheaper than rn but it will have a worse efficiency rating, but I dont think thats too important.

Keyboard is Good

If you want a bit of soundproofing get the s version of the p400 tempered glass. But the regualar p400 tempered glass is still great.

Ryzen 1700. Overclock it.

Never really heard of or bought the ssd, so I cant say anything about that

Like @Shadow6767 said, you can get a 1080 ti, but a 1070 is the best price/performance so it's OP's your call.

For all those saying that I shouldn't say stuff about the razer keyboard.

1) Never said he had to get it. I tried to convince him on another one. He can get one that has all the same features, but better switches. So why not do it.

2) Sure, Razer doesnt make the worst keyboards, but they dont make the best either. He could get a better keyboard for the same price so why not.

I disagree, 1080 is similar in perf/$ to 1070 now with the new price. Unless you look at the on sale $330 ish 1070s

He did say that his max is 2500, but like he said lower is better. I think he should get a 1070 - Best price to performance.

He might not be fine with using kinguin

512 gb ssd would be pretty nice.

He could get a dark rock pro 3. Its really quiet, has NO chance of leakage(AiOs dont have the best reputation) , Cheaper

We can both agree that either way a 1080ti isn't the best for a budget build.

512gb ssd. Why? Not recommend to read and write to a SSD much so it's not worth it.

Dark Rock Pro 3. AIOs have gotten much better for there leaking issues. Especially corsairs.

Kinguin, idk his choice.

$2500. Just doing my job.

This is actualy ironic, cause I was actually going to use SeaSonic as an example. If I had a bad experience with a SeaSonic power supply, does that make it OK for me to say that all SeaSonic power supplies are shit, over priced, and no one should ever buy them(I'm not saying they are, it's purely an example, so don't go getting your panties in a wad), would that make it alright for me to tell people to never use them? If not, why not? And would it make it alright for you to bash on a brand you had a bad experience with?

ok ill try not to bash razer. Sorry

Thanks for all the ideas.

 

I did, however, want to stick with Intel/Nvidia.

 

Never heard of Kinguin before, interesting way to get a cheap OS.
