I built my rig over a year ago. Added some memory and another ssd. It's all budget but it does the job. Overclocking the video card. Thinking about overhauling this one after the holidays.

I used to build my own from scratch, but my favorite OEM store here in SoCal disappeared, so... now I pay other people to put it together for me when I decide what components I want.

My specs are in here, its pretty good at playing the newest games at medium or high, I'm not computer expert though, and I have no interest in overclocking.

Grats on your 1st build, I've been wanting to build one on my own however, I decided to get a custom PC instead recently. Till I have spare cash for any spare parts in future, then I shall try a build out. :D Pretty decent entry build imo. Mind editing the cost in your local price in? Thank you ^_^

Despite the three year old necro (though to be fair, if you'd posted a thread about it, someone else would have linked you this one LOL), that's actually a very solid and well-balanced build.
If I had to nitpick -- you might have gotten a bit larger SSD for loading up with a few games, but to each his own.

I agree to both statements and yeah probably a 250 at least. Its still not a bad build for some decent gaming with a little more patience for loading I guess. :)

i do too, it would help if some companies would give us the option to legally download games. But even EA does not support most of its classic titles.

Some people are movies collectors for example. I've an old CD of Black Hawk Down from yrs back, its still a movie I'll check back from time to time. Although nowadays you can copy the files to drives, you'll still need to read them on the DVD drive itself. Cheers~ :D

I have an external one myself, just incase.. and an internal in my fileserver.. I had BDROM drive but I guess I threw it out with the last comp without noticing, which shows how often it got used lol.
Still, always nice to have at least one comp with an optical drive. Better to have one and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Yeah i cant agree more, i had no idea why i bought a cd drive until today that i bought a copy of godfather thats a cd. My choice on buying one saved me from so much trouble.

Usually an external one for the very few times (atleast I) would use one. I managed to remove my 5,25 and 3,5 inch bays in my Define R5 creating extra airflow this way.

GPU is the only thing I'm looking to upgrade, though no big rush.. a good deal on a HDD would be nice as both my current mechanics are rather old.. That said I have a 30TB Fileserver ( More pictures! though not fully current - https://imgur.com/a/Q46y6 ) so local storage isn't isn't something I desperately need. Already install my games to the SSD's.

Wow, you won a 8086K from Intel! Cool, can't imagine someone from SteamGifts won one :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd be shocked if several didn't. I know 3 other winners just from a few smallish IRC channels. That said it's the best thing I've ever won lol. Great CPU, meme factor aside it was a great upgrade from my i7-2600 .. not that that NEEDED upgrading, CPU was never my bottleneck.. old system not having SATA3, M2, or USB3 was an issue though..

PCB: MSI H61M-P23(B3)

HID: CM Storm Quickfire TK Blue + MS Imperator2 (my trusty logitech rx300 died after 15 years, sadly)

Comment has been collapsed.
I like it. It has a nice shape, all the buttons/triggers are in the correct place I'd expect them to be (compared to, let's say, xbox gp series layout) and supports both x-input and d-input... had no issues with it in the last 2 years, and I played several games using it. Mind you, I'm not a gamepad person, but I like using this one so far.

Yes, I will bottle neck my GPU to shit, no I don't care, my current CPU is struggling hard and I wanted something that I won't have problems with for the next +5 years and I had the money for it.

I know you were asking building your own so disregard if you want. I didn't build mine because I'm terrible with tech now. Went with a Corsair Vengeance 5180. It has not had a problem with anything I throw at it.

Got most of my components nearly 7 years ago :O
And even though my GPU is quite new, I'm gonna need to buy a completely new rig in about a year.
(my laptop is also soon 6 years old but it's in a great condition and I don't use it that much except for university stuff so it's still fine)
Current build:
CPU: Intel i7 3770k

GPU: Powercolor RX580 8GB
Monitor: 27" LG 4k IPS, 24" BenQ 1080p TN.
Storage: Some 3TB HDD + 256GB SSD Samsung 840
also 5.1 speakers and a condenser mic (both needed for filmschool, which is the reason my PC is in need of "renewal"...editing 4.6k video footage sucks so hard, especially when I do compositing work in After Effects)

When I purchased my PC in 2015 there were only Bulldozer or Intel, so I chose Intel. I made sure my girlfriend's PC included a Ryzen, though. The R7 1700 for $69.99 is insane for the price.
