ROCKAPE PC BUILD

[EDD THE DUCK]

OK ROCKAPE  needs a new pc . so we have spent many many hours so far looking at what to build or buy .

Our conclusion are these options .

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/QyZgyf    with no operating system and will need to be built by shop or someone visiting him .

or there is this option from pc specialists that has operating system and 3 year warranty and is built and delivered. 

https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/intel-z270-pc/wXkH3HTuag/

 

if anyone can come up with a better build for very very similar price it would be of great help . it may even save you from being banned from the website as Rock loves to website ban !!

This guy does some good deals.

Brought my dads machine recently from him and this was great value and all good components

[coolmd]

Pcs are difficult to decide.....depends on use...

I have always brought the most high end graphics card over processor as for gaming the processor is not really doing much. but if rocape is into video editing or other high end video/graphics work then a better processor is great.

Good luck with whatever you choose ..let us know where alll the hard earned dosh goes....

i say with all the money EDD has he should just get one for rock and take it to him..

I would get a BD/DVD/CD drive. A little more money. Cant say I record too much to bluray except for important stuff that I want an extra backup of that isnt on a hard drive. But comes in handy to rip things now and then. Or you do video editing and want to make your own for standalone players.

[EDD THE DUCK]

just having another look. i think i might change the chosen  SSD drive to the new M2 SSD . WD M.2 500 GB Internal Solid State Drive - Blue

I wouldn't get anything less than 500 Gig SSD Rock, my last PC had only 120 Gig and basically it filled up with nothing, never had any games on just windows crap, it only had 4 Gig left on it when i dumped it.

[coolmd]

still think min GTX 1070 needed

Quality 

 

[Dukoo]

the parts are fine for the price, if he or who ever is going to pay for this has it, than no probs. 

you can go lower in the cpu, take a normal cooler instead of water cooling, and take a cheaper motherbord as well for the HDD and RAM also the video card could be 960 or 970 what ever. if money is a thing. save's about 200 to 250,- if you take the cheap components. 

You still can go lower then that, but then you will have to look into cheap AMD components. Like asrock mainbords and so on. 

but with this build you dont have to upgrade the next couple or years like 4 - 5 if you only play the game's that are out now. If you wait 3 4 years new game's will need alot better specs. but in a time frame of 4 years you can save some money for upgrade's later. that is also what i do, put money away every month a little bit, in 4 - 5 years i can buy a new one or the components that are needed.

Looks good and beefy!

Not much difference between the 1060 and the 1070 to warrant the price difference. 1060 is cheaper and all that is needed.

Is there an XI member that can walk someone through a pc build over teamspeak?

EDD, I would suggest that you also check the Samsung 960 EVO M.2 500GB. Added cost is £88 (including VAT based on the PCSPECIALIST link) but you see a 6x increase in read speed and 4x increase in write speed.

 

I/O speed makes enormous difference in my opinion. Just a thought.

[KicknDatAzz]

I disagree with the cost savings suggested by some others here.

I really like the list of parts, except the vid card. I would get something beefier that would last a longer amount of time upgrade wise.

 

Nice job!

That would be rockape's call on that but yes i agree

[ROCKAPE]

Thank you everyone for taking time researching this for me I really appreciate it.

i have an old pc built in 2008

[Duckdisch]

I think with the new 6core amd Ryzen 1600x processor and an Am4 x370 board you have the best price performance for gaming

[Damage_inc-]

the build looks great.are you going to overclock?
