Well, recently a friend of mine won the local lottery and requested me to get him a MAXIMUM Gaming PC setup, he's willing to pay + my commission since i'm the one doing the shopping + assembly & installation of the necessary stuff (Drivers, BIOS, OS etc.) and here's what i got for him Note : the list is subdue to change prior to specifications & incompatibility/poor performance)
Setup:
-The sound card can be unnecessary since with the Mobo and GPU like that, i doubt that you'll need a sound card to hear clear audio but just to be sure though
-I'm not sure if the Mobo is one of the best out there since local PC components here is limited and quite pricey depending on the brand and model
-While the RAM, GPU & CPU is overkill the 2 SSD is quite an overkill too since for me i only need 1 SSD for paging, OS, and other stuff that needed to run the PC but the second is for installed games / softwares while the 4TB HDD is for storage like Vids/Music.
the CPU on the other hand is i think, not the best out here since again, the availability of parts here are limited to only a few pieces and brands depending on the demand of the people who buy parts from this PC hardwares.
So what do you think, is it a waste of money or an overkill or a modest setup?
