Greetings everyone!!!
The community helped me back in 2012 and now even today that very same system is playing new games at high/mid settings
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/360627-31-opinions-advice-1500-gaming
I'm now building a game system for 1440p gaming and could really use your help once again!
I can spend $2000 for the computer. (or a little more)
Main purpose of playing 1440p games coming out 2019
(will not be using VR)
I prefer intel, nvidia and G.Skill but not a deal breaker
Also want the RTX 2070, best bang for the buck sort of thing plus I dont want to drop $600 on a GPU thats been out for 3 years already 🙁
I want... 1440p gaming without issues or problems, high reliability factor, can play games for the next 5 years, "best bang for the buck" and all components work perfectly together.
What i have on my shopping list so far...
Monitor: Optix MAG341CQ
(NOT part of the $2000)
https://www.microcenter.com/product/512508/optix-mag341cq-34-uw-qhd-100hz-dvi-hdmi-dp-freesync-curved-gaming-led-monitor
GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 XC Ultra
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JB58VK6
Case:
Cooler Master H500M
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DF2SP3X
Also buying two more 200mm RPG addressable fans for the top of this
Yes, I kindof like the whole RPG lighting thing going on at the moment but would never give up performance for pretty lights lol
In closing, I am not %100 stuck on intel and nvidia but from past experience intel lasts much longer and amd gpus tend to have driver problems, dont last long and games tend to not like them but have not owned a amd gpu or cpu since 2012.
Im not %100 stuck on the monitor either, its merely the best bang for the buck that ive found so far. And yes, kindof wanting ultra wide 34" curve 1440p
Games I play include...
Warframe, Fallout 4, GTA V, Destiny 2, X-Com 2, Skyrim, The division, path of exile, Middle-earth Shadow of War and etc...
I want Anthem, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, Metro Exodus, Phoenix Point, Rage 2 and The Division 2 when they come out.
Would love to start buying parts this weekend, will not be using VR, prefer air cooling, overclocking maybe a tiny bit but not a huge factor and can easily play games for 12 hours a day on my days off LoL
CPU, should I go I7-6700, 7700 or 8700? should I go "k"?
PSU, should I be at 750watts? (always super nervous about PSUs)
GPU, is EVGA XC Ultra really the better RTX 2070?
Memory, is G.skill still the most reliable? 16gb or 32gb?
Mother board? Aorus? Strix? MSI? Asrock?
Any benefit with having the GPU and mother board from the same manufacture?
Already have a SSD, samsung 850 EVO 500g
(should be just fine in this system, right?)
I'm more then happy to anwser any and all questions, would be super grateful for any and all input about this! Sorry for being so long winded, just wanted to offer as much info as I could so that you can better help me
THANK YOU!!!
(from the how to ask for new build sticky)
Approximate Purchase Date: this weekend or next week
Budget Range: $2000 USD (monitor not part of the $2000 range)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: 1440p gaming, with some internet surfing, some movie/anime watching, some wallpaper editing.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes but that is NOT part of my $2000 budget
Parts to Upgrade: Building a new system from the ground up but have a SSD
Do you need to buy OS: Yes (windows 10 I guess)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg and amazon mostly but not limited
Location: Seattle, WA USA 98104
Parts Preferences: Intel, Nvidia, G.Skill, RTX 2070 & H500M case
Overclocking: Maybe a little, not a big overclocker honestly.
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 3440 x 1440 100hz
(unless I find a 34" ultra wide curve screen with 144hz that is better then the MAG341CQ around the same price or lower)
Additional Comments: see above
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I want 1440p gaming for games coming out 2019
