Gaming PC Builds
« on: August 04, 2016, 09:29:09 pm »
So, I was posting that I wanted a laptop for something new. But someone in a local PC store reminded me that I wouldn't be able to run big nice graphical games.

So I was asking what would be the strongest build you guys suggest? I got a budget of 3000 euros.

I have set my eyes on  the Graphical card EVGA GTX 1080, and a quad core processor with an intel core i7-6700k

I do not know what to put more in. So suggestions are welcome. :)

I just bought a PC for (almost) the same money.
This is what I got:

Intel Core i7-6900K
EVGA Nvidia GTX 1080
MSI X99A GODLIKE Gaming, Intel X99
64GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2400
1TB Samsung 850 EVO
Blu-Ray Burner LG BH16NS55
1000W - BeQuiet! Dark Power Pro P11
ASUS ROG Xonar Phoebus Solo
Prolimatech Megahalems BeQuiet! PWM
Windows 10 Pro, 64 Bit, DE

I had another 512GB SSD at home and a 2TB Normal Sata drive, so I also plugged those in.
I also bought a pretty good PC case, lots of small fans and quite silent.
The system runs well and generally I get a much better frame rate in 4k than with my SLI 980TI setup. (Cause SLI support sucks for most games...)
I should have gotten the Intel Core i7-6950X and overclocked it, but meh, I went with the slightly cheaper option.

I suggest that you get a newer CPU than the one you chose.

Personally for myself as I do alot of editing for work etc. I would want to go the full way for a 5930k.

To be honest if you have the money you could go for a 6800k but a 6700 is more than enough for just gaming.

Alright thanks for the comments.

What is SLI actually what does it do? I'm not experienced with these terms, I apology. But I'd like to know it before I buy something. xd

SLI has 3 different types. Essentially SLI is the programming behind having 2 or more graphics cards working in the same PC. You need to have a new version of the SLI bridges which are expensive in order to run a 1080 in SLI

Tbh 2 1080's in 1 build is beyond overkill currently.

Yes, it's basically the best card on the market right now

You can run everything with a 3000 euros laptop.

Like I told you on steam you don't need a 3k PC to run Total wars. My GTX 980 ran everything at max on all of them and still got like 80 FPS. Except for Rome 2 and Attila of course. Shit games that they are.

Would the GTX 1080 have good FPS on Rome And Attila? Cause I really want a monster PC as these next gen games are coming out in 2017.

It's the nuttiest graphics card out there right now (besides the Titan)
Check out my YT channel where I post NW www.youtube. com/c/CluelessWill

god damn, Anthony is smart, he was able to get the shit AEF to tie with the best reg in the game. The tactical geniusness needed to pull off such a feat is insane. He's the Erwin Rommel of NW.
