  • THE "OMG I AM BUILDING A NEW COMPUTER" Thread

    It's been a few years since I last built my current rig (about 5 or so) and it's been slowly dying and causing issues when streaming/editing so it's time to build a new one.

    I had originally set a budget for 1200 for myself, but I went a bit over but not by much.

    Hopefully this is what I'll have in my hands in a few weeks.

    I feel as if this isn't a terrible build but also not high end. From all reports this should run most games at ultra with decent FPS and should assist in our streaming/editing as well.

    Only a 250GB SSD? I would recommend getting a big ass hybrid drive. Or a very small SSD for the OS and a big ass 2TB HDD or Hybrid for actual storage. You also probably save some money going i5 without losing performance. Otherwise, looks really nice.

      Yeah, the storage is wack.

      WACK, DAWG.

        I have like 4 other HD's just laying around. The 250gb SSD is for the OS and our recording/editing stuff. More than enough storage.
        I would lose performance for livestreaming with the i5.

            haha. He's not wrong but with how I plan on using it, saving 100 bucks isn't worth the hit in performance with what I have planned for BDRcade going forward.

                Well you can overclock an i5, but not the i7, and get better performance. That's why I mentioned it.

                            first three parts have shown up. SSD/Mobo/Chip. Monday I should get my case, powersupply, and ram. Then I have to wait like a week to get my graphics card. Hoping that comes in earlier than later so I can put this fucker together next weekend and see if the show quality is enhanced.

                              I just need a part that makes Win7 stable. This fucker acts up like three times a year out of the blue and I have to do a restore point from earlier every fucking time even though I didn't download or install anything new.
