How does this list look

RUWO_builder · January 23, 2018

I dont really have a budget, but i just want a machine which is relatively small, and i can do some gaming on. it also needs to be able to do 3d cad and rendering. I am currently using a fully specked lenovo carbon x1 rev 3, which is great for anything that does not require a gpu. But as i am starting to do some more serious cad and im getting into pc gaming a bit more. Ideally, id like to spend less then a thousand eur, but it looks like thats not really feasable. Anyway, here is the list. Im not sure thats the exact gpu model i will get, but probably the same chipset.

I would recommend this not only because it is cheaper than both your builds (standing at ~ $1530) but because when you picked Intel, you went with the seventh gen of CPUs, line that's dead and have no room for future upgrades.. yeah maybe the i7 7700k but nothing more. That's why I added an I5 8600k(which is unlocked). Also, I do own this CPU and works properly and with a CoolerMaster 212 it never passes 60-65 deg C while in full load. So by that I also reduced the price on the cooler, from $87 to just $30 because it's almost the same thing, it only does cool your PC and as far as I know CoolerMaster 212 is still pretty good. Also, for ram you don't really need 3000mhz on Intel... if you want, then yes.. it's okay, but it does not require that much of a speed. Only Ryzen does that. So I also reduced the price for ram. The rest you'll see in the list. ^^

Do you really need a new pc now? The prices of the gtx 1060 is really overpriced right now, like doubled what is used to be

That looks good, its just that i dont have the space for a full tower, so i changed to itx and a node 304. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zkY9jc

No, i dont NEED it right now, but everytime i want to build a pc and its time to upgrade, there is some reason not to. Like ryzen, vega, kaybe lake, high gpu prices, high ram prices..... it just feels like its the right time now.
