General advice

[Mogbish]

Hello

 

So, I am bulding this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hkJ3cc

 

All is good, but no GPU and no screen yet. All other parts on that list is put together and works. Stupid me and getting that 8700K when something better should come soon, but I could not wait for better CPU.

 

Btw, money is not an issue.

 

Should I wait until the Gddr6 GPU comes out? Or should I just get a 1080 Ti now? I can wait until May/June. This is when I want my "Ultimate Build" complete. Please advice me.

 

Also, I am thinking about getting that sweet 32GB Trident Z rgb Ram because my friend needs 16 Gb ( he has only 8Gb). I know 16 is enough, but hey, he should have 16 and I kinda want 32 now. So giving my 16GB to him and getting 32GB seems nice, because I am wasting some money at the moment. Anyone have something to say about this? I am talking about the 3200 Mhz RGB pack. No need to OC more.

 

The screen I am thinking about is this one: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vhkwrH/asus-monitor-rogswiftpg348q

Do someone with this one have anything to say? Because from what I can see, this screen is good.

 

I have only the AIO pump (from the cooler ofc) connected to the MOBO, and the  fans are connected to the split on the cooler. Do most people do this with their fans, or do they put the fans on CPU fan and CPU_Opt fan? I am new to water cooling. From 2000 until 2018 I have only had Air cooler.

 

And finally: What do you have to say about this build?

 

Hoping to get some tips about this.

 

Thanks for answering

Wait while you can. There's a DRAM, SSD, GPU and PSU shortage currently. And new CPU launches just around the corner.

If money is no issue and waiting is no issue , then wait for something faster and buy it.

Of 850W+ PSUs due to mining

If money is no object and you are just playing games then your system looks good.

That is the screen and GPU I would buy in your postion.  

Unless you wanna get nuts and watercool a Titan V or something.

Thanks for the answers so far My plan is now to wait for a GPU until middle of March. My Ordinary pc is enough for my current needs. And no, I am not goint to watercool a Titan V I am simply looking for some input on my current build with the questions up on my original thread. And my build will be the one with the link in the thread, only with a change in GPU and screen if something exiting happens in March.

If you are streaming, consider the Ryzen 7 2700 that comes out in April

I have looked at this, and if I am starting to feel like streaming I will get this.

 

BUT I am a horrible streamer and only need a top of the line Gaming PC at the moment.

 

Anyways, I am hoping for AMD to get a great CPU out there this year, because from 2011 I have been using AMD. It is only in 2018 I am getting an Intel CPU.

This year is just a refresh of the previous years on 12nm. Slightly higher clocks, lower temps.

Ryzen 5 still is a pretty good value for the mid range, competing with the i5 lineup pretty well. It beats the 7000 series i5s out of the water and is slightly behind the i5 8400, but being $180 and with $60 motherboards available, you can't really beat it.

Dude, thanks for the info Love getting feedback on PC components.

 

From what you have said I totally agree. The MOBO for the coffee lake series vs AMD AM4 on the (f.exs) 1800X is HUGE. And now in late January, all the AMD Ryzen CPU's are MUCH cheaper than in December. Becasue of the next series coming soon.

 

On Intel's side they got great in game performance, but those cores from AMD sure helps when streaming.

 

But now I have Fx 8350 which is kinda insane, but the performance never seems to struggle. I have never hit higher than 70% workload from that CPU, and for some reason it does not get hot even with standard cooler ( i got a V6 and a V8 ready to cool if it gets too hot( Cooler master)).

Sadly, even Crosshair VIs can't contain the 1800X. But you can get motherboards where you can overclock R5 1600s with pretty decent VRMs for $60-70.

Sounds nice. (The positive part, not the negative part) To be honest, if I could get your personality in a coop or multi group game, I would love to play with you. I never go for "chicken dinner" or another high standard. I just wanna play the game in the most casual way or the most fun way. The chicken dinner comment is just because that is the game most people know about at the time

 

Anyways, waiting to see that Gddr6 getting released on the GPU world.

Can I admit something? - I have never played an FPS game before. Call me a filthy casual, but my type of game is an RTS.
