Hello, new guy here --
I usually build a new system every year, and I'm way overdue, so am having withdrawal pains. Would like some critique, advice on cooling or anything else you think of. So far, the system looks like this:
Currently undecided:
When I'm done, I do a "Musical Chairs" routine with my computers, and the loser gets donated.
Your contributions will be appreciated. Any questions happily answered (assuming I know the answer).
Regards,
Russ Walden
I usually build a new system every year, and I'm way overdue, so am having withdrawal pains. Would like some critique, advice on cooling or anything else you think of. So far, the system looks like this:
- Motherboard - ASUS X-299-Deluxe, LGA2066
- System Storage: Samsung 970 M.2 500GB, plus an additional 500GB M.2 for system backup. I run Win10Pro(64) Insider Preview, so I always back up my sytem drive
- Other Storage - A 1TB SSD for data (I do not put data on system drives), plus 2 HDD's which contain my movies and music. (These will come from existing systems.)
- Case - CoolerMaster N400 NSE-400, probably add extra fans,
- Memory - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz -- I plan to steal this from current system, since I'm running 32GB there and I'm not sure why.
- PSU -- EVGA SuperNOVA 850 P2, 80+ PLATINUM 850W
Currently undecided:
- GPU -- I like EVGA products, but not wedded to them. I am not a Gamer (except chess), but I do some video editing
- CPU -- Something on the high end of Intel CoreX I9 series, but not Extreme.
When I'm done, I do a "Musical Chairs" routine with my computers, and the loser gets donated.
