High End Rig for PubG

[kage65]

Id like as high FPS as I can get. Yes I know pubg is clunky, but i know I can get better than I currently have on my i7 2600 and 970 gtx

 

Intel BX80684I78700K 8th Gen Core i7-8700K Processor by Intel

 

GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS Gaming 5 

 

16 gigs of Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16) by Corsair

 

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 GAMING, 11GB GDDR5X,

 

I already have a cmpsu-800g 800 watt PSU

 

I have a liquid cooler on my existing machine , I don't know the model, but will it fit on this new system, or do I need a new liquid cooler as well? Here is a pic of my existing one. 

 

ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q 27" 2560x1440 IPS 165Hz 4ms G-SYNC 

 

OR

should I go for a ASUS VG248QE 24" Full HD 1920x1080 144Hz 1ms HDMI Gaming Monitor ? 

Since I only play Pub g im trying to go for speed. Tks

if you get a new cooler then your old machine will be functional, that is with a psu

get the PG279Q, my 6600k and gtx 980 can 70-100fps on 1440p, your setup should get higher

Get a new PSU and cooler and just sell your rig complete

 

Get the Asus monitor, a 1080ti at 1080P is way overkill, that CPU/GPU combo will be killer at 1440P

I dont think I would build a new rig for PUBG.

My $250 special (E3 1220, 8gb, 750 Ti) plays it pretty good at 1080p/100% resolution scale, nearly 60 fps after prodding the settings a bit.

IMHO, where PUBG is broken is in the higher detail settings. Not a ton of benefit for massive requirements increases. It's kinda like gambling, you dont know if your upgrade will actually increase performance or even allow you to increase settings significantly.

honestly all you should have to do is overclock your existing rig. so try finding a 2600k and push it to 4.5 at least and you're going to have all the performance you can get.

The Corsair GS800 isn't a terrible psu and in a pinch could be reused.

 

The Corsair cpu cooler can most likely be reused. You will need to carefully remove it from the old cpu and clean the contact surface. Something like https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA9VM3PZ6206&cm_re=thermal_paste_remover-_-35-100-010-_-Product can help with the cleaning. Although rubbing/isopropyl alcohol will do a decent job.

 

You will have to buy a small tube of thermal paste for mounting the cpu cooler on the new cpu. It only takes a few drops, so there is little point in getting more than a gram or two.

So as it turns out you cannot reuse the cooler on a new system. Reason being is the plat that goes on the back of the MB is held on with two black adhesive strips. Once you pull it off I don't know of a way to get new adhesive strips. 

I wish I had known this earlier.

I have only added the 1080ti , not even put on the new cpu and memory, and already the game runs much better.

The pads are just spacers to aid installation. The fact they are sticky justs makes mounting easier. You should be able to use any non-conductive heat resistant pad of suitable thickness. They do not have to be used. See http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=95524&highlight=pads+backplate.

So I can install it without the spacers? It will be tight enough? Thanks.
