Why you treating Cigg like he's some PC scrub?

I'm not...I just at mechanical drives for anything outside of mass storage space

 

[daze23]

You putting your games on a 1TB mechanical drive

Dual 1080 TI's which means you shouldn't be going for anything less than the 32 inch 4k Gsync Predator monitor...

6 core cpu...

And you going with a MECHANICAL DRIVE FOR GAMING

it also comes with a 512GB M.2 SSD

@Ciggavelli

How badly will a GTX 1080 TI be bottlenecked by an I5-6600K OC to 4.2-4.5ghz?

Also if I need to upgrade to an i7 should I go 6700k or 7700k I have a z170 board....MSI sli plus to be exact. I think I have to update the bios to get a kaby lake cpu.

Exactly

 

[daze23]

bottlenecking will be an issue if you're running an unlocked framerate. but when you're pushing it like that, something is gonna be the bottleneck. I guess since the data basically goes from cpu to gpu to monitor, there's an expectation that the gpu shouldn't have to wait on the cpu. but if that happens at 200+ fps, it really doesn't bother me

@Ciggavelli has virtually every game that has been released on steam. Don' think that 512 GB drive is going to go very far

2TB M.2 SSD is like $1200, and it still wouldn't be enough

can't install everything on SSD. this is coming from someone with 3 SSD's

What kind of a$$hole installs every game in his library if he's not gonna play it?

You actually CAN install everything on SSD. And this is coming from someone building a system with 12 TB of SSD space

nevermind then

SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 4 TB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-75E4T0B/AM - Newegg.com

Copped two of these 2 weeks ago...and that would put me at around 1.5 TB of free space...which means in a year or so I am going to have to get some more hard drive space just for gaming...so Monday I copped a 3rd one to go ahead and install it and get it out the way...

 

[Ciggavelli]

I used to have every game installed, but when 8tb wasn’t enough, I started deleting. Now, I’m selective about what I keep installed.

512gb of ssd space is enough to have my rotation of “games I’m playing or will play,” so I’m good.

Goddamn at 12tb of ssd space though. shyt, fukk

Was looking up a new computer just cause I havnt upgraded in a few years (i7-3770k 970 GTX)

just putting together some shyt.. came out to $1700 before taxes

i7-8770k - $410
1070 ti - $500
Asus Z170 motherboard - $329 (I could probably cut cost here -- didnt even look up if its compatible honestly just saw a lot of people using it)
G.Skill TridentZ Series 32GB DDR4-3000 - $350
Case - $100?



I need to see comparisons compared from the new 1070 TI vs 1080 GTX but my gut tells me wait to February to see if the new cards being released

I got an email about this earlier , I need to see comparisons to 1080

edit: looks to be a just a little under the 1080

Bought my GTX 1080 for $500 from amazon. I would just grab the 1080
