Akeelagi Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 If your have the extra money just go for an i7 and a 1080. Other then that you look good. That build is good right now but I’d hate for you to build it and then have to upgrade in a year lol Kate and BioHazard like this Link to comment

I don't have the highest expectations, hence my budget is around 1-1500 $. But yeah, upgrading to an i7 would seem good. Link to comment

He's only getting 8GB of DDR4-2400 ram, how do you expect him to go from a 1060 6GB to a 1080? @Heidelberg I would trade that Cooler Master aftermarket cooler for something similarly priced from Noctua, you'll get WAY better price/performance. Looking on PCPartPicker, that cooler is $72 USD while Noctua's best cooler, NH-D15S, is $79 USD. Of course, this depends on whether or not your case supports this giant cooler, if not, you can settle for one of their smaller models. It'll still be better than anything from Cooler Master. Are you planning on doing any overclocking on your CPU? If not, you should settle for a non-K 8600 and look into getting one of the more budget-oriented motherboards that were recently released for Coffeelake. If you are going to overclock then disregard what I just said. If you can, you should try to get faster RAM. I'm not sure if you're going with a 1x8 or 2x4 setup but it's something you should consider. BlackShot and Space like this Link to comment

I've just heard that the Cooler Master is a decent one for a neat price. Motherboard-wise, i'm just looking for something gaming-compatible and not too old tbf. Link to comment

I don't have the highest expectations, hence my budget is around 1-1500 $. But yeah, upgrading to an i7 would seem good. Core i7 processors use a feature called “hyper-threading” to reach above and beyond the number of cores they have. So, a Core i7 processor with four cores can actually handle eight threads of data at once. Processors with hyper-threading can effectively double the number of threads they can handle simultaneously. However ARMA 3 does not benifit from this, lets cut all the technical crap and look at an actual test below. So my recommendation is for ARMA if you're on a budget, stick to i5 and spend the money elsewhere. McMuffin, Kettles, BlackShot and 1 other like this Link to comment

Mason Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Hey, my little brother just started playing CSGO on his computer and it was almost unplayable. I just ordered him these parts to build him a new one. Hope this helps. I picked the parts as if I were buying it for myself so its a pretty nice PC. https://gyazo.com/7ac76ac52f512bb1387f8fd5885de673 https://gyazo.com/3e04f0dd5f04e80d4d9c11aa9ffce01c The total was $998.89 HOWEVER, this does not include a graphics card. This is because I got myself a titan xp. So my little bro is taking my 980ti. With that being said, the1080ti is only $699. So if you increased your budget from 1500 to 1700. you would have a beast PC. Just my thoughts! Good luck! Link to comment

Mason Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Also be careful where you order from, for example... Newegg price.... https://gyazo.com/6c219cbd70f377289cd2768607232c2c Amazon price... https://gyazo.com/88cc8bca6428826a4e9c34016469721a I have been using mine I got from amazon for 3 years now. 0 issues. If you can save a few bucks do it!! Link to comment

Boby Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 this is perfect. you dont need more. and you wont have to upgrade in 1 year. you dont need a I7 or 1080. Link to comment
Super Bumbi Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 i've had 6 gb of ram for the longest while and i run witcher 3 on ultra - the hair physics at 58-60 fps on my ssd. Link to comment
•ÐŠ• Randy Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Not bad, but just be careful with that CPU. Its not bad with the 1060, but if you decide a year down the road the 1060 inst cutting it for you and you want to upgrade, youll also have to upgrade your CPU and possibly your mobo, otherwise it can bottleneck a new GPU. I made this mistake when building my first and spent around $900 upgrading my gpu cpu and mobo when i originally intended on $550 for just a gpu. Link to comment
Deadly Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 you need an i7 instead of the 5. you can get by with the ram but obv 16 would be a lot better. imo 1070 should be the minimum, all of this depends on budget however Link to comment
Heidelberg Posted April 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I might look into an i7 and a PSU with more wattage, in case I'd upgrade anything in the future. I'm not sure about upgrading to 16GB of RAM, but I'll think about it. Thanks to everyone for your input. Link to comment
Tusken Raider Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Wait for 11 series GPU at the end for June. Link to comment
