Hey guys,

 

I was just interested if maybe anybody of you knows in what way I could improve the looks or even the performance of my setup.

I'm currently rocking these specs on my main setup:

 

Processors:
CPU: AMD R7 1700 16 Threads @ 3,8 GGhz
GPU: MSI Gaming X Gtx 1080 TI

Cooling:
CPU: Stock AMD Cooling
Case: 1x Silent Wings 2 BL063, 3x Silent Wings 2 BL062

PSU:
Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 750 Watt ATX 80PLUS Platinum

Hard Drives:
Samsung 950 PRO M.2 256GB SSD (Reads up to 2.2 Gb/s, Writes up to 0.96 Gb/s,
Random Read IOPS 109835, Random Write IOPS 60633)

Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB SSD (Reads 553 mb/s, Writes 532 mb/s, Random Read IOPS 83430, Random Write IOPS 7814)


Case:
NZXT H450 (Black and Red)


I'm playing at 4k on the Left middle Monitor.

Its pretty fluent but maybe it can be improved by it. I use passive air cooling for most of the stuff in my PC since I like silence but wouldn't be turned down by custom watercooling maybe (If its sub 1k I'm in)

So if there is anything to improve (optics, etc) 

Maybe get a 3. Monitor and replace the right Monitor on the left setup to 144Hz monitor?

Thanks for your suggestions already. If you are interested in anything else to the setup just ask!

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

I don't really wanna downgrade my gpu to a 1080 maybe the 1080 ti model but tbh, I would prefer just putting a waterblock on the current one like wokeyeyes said. but the Mounting the PC on the wall may look awsome thats a good suggestion I'll go and plan a bit and see and what price that totals around
