Hi all,
I have just decided to go through iBuypower to build my PC. I have posted the link below for all to review the build options. Also included is another link for a prebuilt PC that may be a better option than my customized build. A limited budget is not an issue for my PC build btw. Any comments for improvements or unnecessary options within my build, please let me know. I do not have much knowledge on every aspect of PC building and the best in class options out there so any advice is appreciated.
Use to review my build option - Link: https://www.ibuypower.com/Store/iBUYPOWER-Snowblind-Extreme
Prebuilt Link: https://www.ibuypower.com/Store/iBUYPOWER-Snowblind-Ultra
My selections:
Case: iBUYPOWER Snowblind S Gaming Case - Black/White with LCD Side Panel
Case Fan: 3x [RGB] AZZA Prisma 120mm RGB LED Fan
Case Lighting: Snowblind White LEDs
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-7800X Processor (6x 3.50GHz/8.25MB L3 Cache)
iBUYPOWER PowerDrive : PowerDrive Level 2 - Up to 20% Overclocking
Processor Cooling: iBUYPOWER 120mm Addressable RGB Liquid Cooling System - White
Memory: 16 GB [8 GB X2] DDR4-3000 Memory Module (Certified Major Brand Gaming Memory)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 - 8GB GDDR6 (VR-Ready)
Motherboard: ASUS TUF X299 Mark 2 -- RGB, Gb LAN, USB 3.1 (4 Rear, 4 Front), ASUS Exclusive Features
Power Supply: 850 Watt - be quiet! Straight Power 11 - 80 PLUS Gold, Full Modular(includes Sleeved Cables)
Primary Hard Drive: 2 TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD -- Read: 550MB/s, Write: 520MB/s
Data Hard Drive: 250 GB Samsung 860 EVO SSD -- Read: 550MB/s, Write: 520MB/s - Single Drive
Overall notes: Today I use a 250 EVO Samsung SSD and a 1 TB WD Hard drive with a 960 NVIDIA card within my Alienware X51. This has lasted me sometime but it continues to beep from time to time at startup and after 7 years of use I think its time for a new setup while I keep the X51 as my backup when needed.
With my build above, I would like Wifi & LAN capability, so should I add an adapter to the build for wifi or get a different motherboard(If so, what motherboard)? Please keep in mind, the other link provides more options with the motherboard. I want to get a Snowblind PC so the best optimal build I can build for the best reasonable price is preferred with fast performance. Also, is my primary drive and data drive overkill? I want my pc to perform at optimal speed. Any advice would be awesome in optimizing my build. I will be using this PC for gaming and everyday use.
Thank you in advance!
