I'll change it to a water cooler. I think he wanted 32 gigs of ram anyways, for a machine of that caliber. But 16 gigs would also be more than enough. I also didn't know if he wanted windows 10 pro. I can also change the case, but don't really know how big it should be. SLI 1080 TIs could probably do 4k 100 fps and easily 1080p240. Or you could do 2080 NVlink or just a single 2080 ti. But I think 2 1080 TI is still better value or at least better performance. And someone else can help me pick a case because I know nothing about that.

Here is the new list - 

 

i was on pcpartpicker and the 2080ti isn't on sale anywhere, just the 2080. Wtf? I'll just put a 2080 on my list I guess

8086k

aorus pro z390

noctua nh-d15s chromax w black cover

evga 3070 ultra

samsung 128gb, adata swordfish 1tb, wd blue 1tb

seasonic 620w dogballs psu

Hi guys, 

 

It is time to build a new gaming PC. I need help to pick nice components. I want to play new titels with high fps and with the best settings, I have two monitors (1 hdmi and 1 displayport), mouse, keyboard and usb-headset and an internet-cable to connect to the PC.

 

Budget some where around 3400-3600 USD, so a really nice PC :)

 

**EDIT** I already have a Fractal Design Define R6 TG Gunmetal

 

I want the following spec:

2080 Ti

2 x 16 GB RAM

1 TB SSD (I already have a 2 TB HHD)

CPU AIO water cooler

 

Please help me. I do not OC, I just want good and quiet components "out of the box".

 

 

 

this is a frost design i think you may like....the ram is black and glows white and i think this looks pretty cool. I made some of the components that get hot black instead of white cause...science...and it only costs around 2500 USD....with pricing in Sweden i would say it is around 3000..i'll get an exact estimate in just a moment...i'll also go and make a blue/white RGB build if you don't like this

Ok, So I went with the NZXT RGB system since I personally like their stuff. T

-I did 16gb of ram, a NZXT water cooler than can sync up with the RGB fans from NZXT too.-

-I also made sure to include the 1tb SSD, I put in the fastest one at the moment.

-Its not 3.5k, and when its edited to a 2080ti I'm sure it'll go right to your budget, just the 2080ti isn't available

It should hit your budget..

Um B360 chipset ? A bit pointless having an unlocked cpu and expensive cooler on a chipset that doesn't allow overclocking.

 

The psu is also overpriced and not needed. The case has a psu shroud so why an expensive white psu ?

How does white for the static components sound?....like the case will be white but the RGB will all light up whatever color you want

I don't need a roller coster with 5 million lights, so it is okey to skip rgb on some parts ;) It doesn't need to be more rgb then this The ULTIMATE RGB PC. Just some lights so I can show the boys some female pink/purple power during lans and keep it simple and blue at home to match it with my blue DxRacer. 

 

I need 32 GB RAM, I play some games with a lot of mods and assests, I have 16 GB now and it is not enough I have constantly 100 % usage.

I don't want a white expensive PSU. I can't see mu PSU in a fractal design define r6 TG.

I'd still advise getting RGB everything, it's pretty handy. I stick with a black/grey/silver color scheme, and have a bunch of RGB components and accessories. I usually run them on red/white or just off if my case is too bright, but it always leaves the option open for me to swap the entire color scheme of my rig in a few minutes to match some dope wallpaper I found or something. Basically it just gives you a lot more control over how your rig looks without having to change actual components.

Do I really need a 360 mm rad to a i7-9700K that I'm not gonna OC?

Yeah, I guess I wasn't thinking about that. Maybe you'll oc a little in the future so you don't have to upgrade? Also it'll run quieter...

 

Not saying you have to oc but people do that to get performance out of older parts so they can hold off on upgrading.

Np dude. It isn't impossible. I'm just scared to breake something so I will not OC until it is time to upgrade some part. I have plenty of space in define r6 with no storage cage, so that is not a problem.

You not considering Ryzen ? If you are planning on buying a 4K monitor then there won't be that much of a performance gap. An R5 2600/X or R7 2700/X would be a good alternative to the i7 8700K/i9 9900K. 

Idk to be honest. I never even thought about that they existed. I wish I could give you a good reason, but I think I'm just like all those people who never will buy anything else then Apple ;)

When I was searching for parts on our Swedish site I found these RAM that looks lovley ?. Are the good, I know it's in Swedish but the headline with the specs are english. 

ej buffrad - icke ECC translates to no buffer/buffred, no ECC. What are buffer/buffred and ECC? Is it important?

 

G. Skill Tridentz RGB Model-nr.: F4-3200C16D-32GTZR 400 USD 

 

Normal price for 3200 MHz 2x16 GB in Sweden is about 375 - 600 USD

That is just standard Ram so it will work fine with any board that supports DDR4. You don't need to worry about the ECC or buffered/unbuffered part in the description. That sort of Ram is mainly used in things like Servers.

Consumer-grade Intel version

 

AMD Treadripper version

 

     
   
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

AMD ryzen build (you might want to wait for second gen)

 

intel extreme isn't worth it at the moment

 

I saw your love for the trident Z rgb later, but that's also a great idea for this buid

 

and before someone asks 64 gigs? hell yeah. becouse you're not limited by budget

This looks cool, even tho I'm not strictly limited by a budget, this is a bit to expensive. 45 000 SEK is 5 000 USD. One of the reasons why I don't want to have SLI is the price. 1080 ti is not cheep in Sweden. One card is 10 000 SEK = 1 100 USD

I an so in love with those Trident, how much will I notice the difference between 3000/3200 MHz and CL14-17? I will be upgrading to 64 GB eventually, that's why I want 2 x 16 GB, but for now, 32 GB is enough to be able to spend some dollars on other stuff.

then a 2080 (ti) will do, you won't notice that much, especually on intel. On amd it is more, but only between the cl14 and 17, but even that not much.

Thank you. I have a question about fan-placement in the Fractal design define R6 TG. I want to place the radiator in the front. Where should I place the other fans? Do I need extra case-fans in the top as well or should I place the radiator in the top?

I would place the radiator on top, becouse of better thermals in general. for the fans at least one at exaust in the back, the others as intake in the front. if that's giving you not good enough thermals, you should get some more fans.

Perfect, should the radiator pull air in or push air out of the case? I will have the fans below the radiator since they have RGB lights.
