Hello all,
It has been many years since I knew anything much about hardware. I'm quite ignorant of what is great, what isn't, price. vs. quality sweet spots and so on. I've realized it is time to retire my six year old warhorse and buy a new, decently powerful gaming PC. After some reading, some recommendations this is what I ended up with. How does it look?
I don't need OS, monitor,keyboard, mouse, speakers etc.
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700 (Boxed, LGA 1151 Skylake)
GFX: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0 4 GB
Motherboard: ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming (ATX, LGA 1151, DDR4)
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 2 x 8 GB (DDR4, 2666 MHz, CL15)
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 (80Plus Gold)
Fan: SilentiumPC Fera 2 HE1224 v2
SSD Drive: Crucial BX100 500 GB SSD (2,5" SATA 3.0)
Hard drive: Western Digital Blue 1 TB (3,5" SATA 3.0)
Case: SilentiumPC Gladius M35 Pure Black GD-M35 (ATX)
WLAN: TP-Link TL-WN881ND (PCIe)
Soundcard (???) Asus Xonar DGX (5.1, PCIe)
DVD drive: ASUS DRW-24F1ST (DVD/RW)
Does everything appear functional and balanced? No glaring mistakes or bottlenecks or such? How would you say my set-up ranks in terms of price vs. quality? Plan is to play Star Citizen with proper eye candy one day, heh.
I've included a soundcard here. Do you think this is wise? How does it get along with soundcard of the motherboard? Would soundcard of the motherboard be enough?
How would you say this does in future? Can you imagine future-me using Oculus Rift with this build happily enough?
I don't plan to do any overclocking.
Thank you very much for your time, and happy holidays!!
