You forgot the PSU Nice system

was that mobo really $600 or is that amazon being weird

This is really a 600 dollars mobo.

 

[Nemesia]

Is there a reason why you did not just buy a good 200 dollars board and take that extra 400+ dollars saved from the board and put it on a RTX 2080 Super?

because my 5700xt works well at 1440p at max settings

1440p 144Hz+ monitor? or 1440p 60Hz? I admit that for 60Hz a 5700XT is enough.

If it's 144Hz+ a 2080TI + 3900X + ~200 dollars motherboard would have been better no?

nope its 1440p 144hz. I have a 3950x not a 3900x and 5700x is plenty for me. there is no compelling reason for me to spend 1200.00 on a 2080ti.

I think that having as close as 144FPS at 1440p using a 144Hz monitor at max details is a compelling reason especially when that 2080TI could have fit in that system for the same total price without any performance sacrifice but just a 1 or 2 second in loading time. Anyway the system is already bought.

 

[loomis1978]

I just wanted to know why you did not build your system to get as close as 144FPS possible since you have a 144Hz monitor and you play at 1440p. That's it. I was just surprised that with that budget no 2080TI was in it.

not a single thing on that list I would consider buying other than the aio and psu. because that is something you would pick but that's something I wouldn't never consider for example g.skill trident z wont work on my build because of its color of the stick. and the msi unity looks too plain all black design is so 1990's. And lastly don't get me started on why don't you get a 2080 ti because A. the 1300.00 B. i don't play shooters so going 144fps means nothing to me having because 100fps at ultra is fine with me.

 

[Phaaze88]

Nice! That would make for a killer workstation.
Memory is a little low at just 16GBs though - perhaps your apps aren't memory intensive?

 

[mdd1963]

16GB is still enough for most folks...

I bought 32 GB three years ago, ...just because! (I also like to run assorted Linux and Windows Server VMs in HyperV to tinker as well, however)

My mistake. I did not know you preferred aesthetics. It makes a lot more sense now that you said that.

Congrats on your new build. I just pulled the trigger tonight myself on a 3950x

 

[Nivz0r]

Dayum that's a nice build, that CPU is the shiit lol.
But the bottleneck your GPU will produce with that CPU is at 100%.
But if it runs your games as you wanted then nothing else matters ^^.

Down there it has an explanation of the bottleneck tho I know this calculation isn't precise, but is it not true at all?

Ohh, you really shouldn't have used that... those things are frowned upon here, and for good reason; they are garbage.

^That's mine, by the way. Don't you think something's REALLY wrong with that?
1080Ti is around 10% faster than the 5700XT, and the 3950X is faster than a 7820X... and there's somehow an over 90% bottleneck difference? WTH...

It's not true at all.

FYI: the 3 most common gpu limitations:
-Software
-Resolution
-Cpu+Ram, because there are still folks out there running in single channel configs...

Oh, I see.
Well, i understand that this site is BS but i do know what a bottleneck is.
Anyways, always happy to learn, though I used that site just for indication.
