Double_13 Posted July 25, 2018 at 07:54 AM Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 at 07:54 AM So I ordered all the parts for my new computer. As my current computer passed the age of 6. Here are the new specs Intel® Core i7-8086K, 4.0 GHz (5,0 GHz Turbo Boost) socket 1151ASUS ROG MAXIMUS X HERO, socket 1151Thermaltake View 31 TG RGBThermaltake Toughpower iRGB Plus Platinum 1050W Thermaltake Floe Riing RGB 360 PremiumG.Skill 16 GB DDR4-3200 KitGIGABYTE AORUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition 11G2x M.2 Samsung 512 GB, 970 PRO SSD Raid0 I specifically picked this CPU because the high clock frequency per core that I need for various tasks and old game. While I know Nvidea is going to poop out a new GPU series I simply cant be asked to wait another half year before the 2nd gen comes out (1th gen always has flaws) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, that sounds like fun ...;) Cus its not really needed according to what i searched up. I no longer need to ramdrive my games as the m.2 is fast enough (yes people i still use ramdrive) If any I can always shove more ram in it. I am thinking of buying an PCI express m.2 drive and add a Samsung evo 960 2TB in it for more storage. (the 2 slots on the board already taken) But i rather wait for the prices to drop a bit.

=VG= SemlerPDX Posted August 1, 2018 at 03:36 PM Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 at 03:36 PM Hey, Ramdrive is still a very cool concept, if one does not have m.2 -- and nowadays, we can get enough ram to actually hold very large titles (Arma was always a bitch with streaming data from HDD, so that would really help) and if someone is trying to eliminate or identify a bottleneck, it is a great way to rule out the storage devices. Like you said, can always buy more ram down the road if you find a use for it. That is shaping up to be one slick maching, mang! You gonna feed it Windows 7 or come over to the darkside for DX12 in Win10 (ug - threw up in my mouth a little while writing that, Win10 is just that bad) haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double_13 Posted August 1, 2018 at 04:34 PM Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 at 04:34 PM Probably dualboot but it depends. I probably install windows 10 or windows server 2016. At work i was kinda forced to use windows 10 and with enough poking in regedit its not that bad. but this would be much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one should have do that, it's insane and highly un-intuitive. Sure, us young folks might get by, but what about our parents, and other older friends? An OS should not be a hassle. Period. Win10 = FAIL ... use at your own discretion, not recommended for everyone (especially the old or non-technical folks) haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
