OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

[Gotmadskillzson]

In a nutshell, it is really great for 4K ultra preset gaming and gaming in general. Great for streaming. Great for rendering. Currently there are ZERO games out today that uses RTX or DLSS, so they can't test RTX or DLSS yet.

1. You do realize you can get a 1080 for that price they charging for the 1070ti now right ? GTX 1080s are going for under $500 now.

2. That SSD going to fill up mighty fast being only 500GB. So I hope hope you using a regular HDD as well.

3. Your power supply on the weak side. I would bump it up to 750 watts. You can find 750 watt power supplies for under $100.


Also fair warning. Fully modular power supply cables are short and a pain in the butt to work with.

Thanks for the input, I'll check out the 1080s, originally I was gonna just go for a 1060 to save money and upgrade soon but I'd rather just get it now.

I'll check out power supplys, I thought the one I picked was solid, so you're saying I should go semi?

For the SSD I'm not too worried, again just saving some cash now. I'll be getting a bigger HDD in the future. I'm really only going to be playing Destiny 2 and installing the OS on the SSD for now anyway.

Originally the build I was shooting for was like $700 with upgradeability within the next year but then I got overzealous.

Yeah semi modular is better, much longer cords. Also bronze level power supply is really all you need. No need to over spend for Gold or Platinum level unless you find them on a good sale. I have had bronze power supplies last just as long as golds. So now I just rock with bronze and save money. I would also buy some case fans. Usually the case fans that come with cases are crap. But that is something you can decide later if you determine you not getting enough air flow. I have 5 fans. 2 in the front, 2 on the CPU heatsink and 1 in the back. I have space to add 2 more to the top if I wanted to, but the temps are fine currently.

I agree with GMSS,

1) I paid $450 for this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=operasport-20 but there was 1080s going for roughly the same price. You can OC the 1070 Ti to produce stock 1080 performance, but why do that when you can do a 1080 Duke for a few bucks more ($470).

2)I'd start with that 500Gb SSD, then plan on an M.2. Once you are able to buy one, throw your OS and any editing software on the M.2. Now your free to use the 500Gb for just games. You will never have enough space, so plan on what you want to play consistently, those go on your SSD. Then buy a 1TB spin drive ($50) and put on single player games like The Witcher 3, Far Cry 5, Alien: Isolation, etc. Load times in those titles won't be a detriment.

Now you have an M.2 for a very quick operating system, a decent size SSD for a solid rotation of games, I'd guess 10 to 15 titles, and a large HDD for backups & SP games.

3) That 550w is fine for a 1060, but will be near the high side for a 1070 Ti. At min I'd go 650w, but like GMSS said, you can't go wrong with a 750w now and be done with it. It will last you through another build and you won't have to ever worry about stressing it in the near future.

Good to know guys, thanks. I'll play around and make some edits tonight, I appreciate the help!
