Military-themed PC ideas.

Conradigan · Jul 29, 2016

I'm in search of two pc builds centered around a military-styled theme and looking for some ideas. One is an AMD and one is an Intel. Budget for both is about $1600 USD.
Aim: Gaming, VR ready.

AMD build (Preferred parts to have)
FX-8350
Corsair C70 case

Intel Build (Preferred parts to have)
i5-6600k
Corsair C70 case

I'd like some build ideas to give me a pretty sweet pc for each build. I'd like to keep the door scheme to black, dark green and gun metal grey.

Thanks in advance.

well, I'd stick to the 6600K build.

for your theme, I assume you want those colors for teh case, ram, GPU and motherboard?

roccat makes military themed mice. I tried to set one of these up for a friend. I know asus has a camo theme MOBO. THere are alot of parts out there, your gonna love it. I cant put pieces together as im at work, but im sure the other guys here will get it right.

Yeah, Screwy - Case, Ram, GPU, Motherboard. Matching colors, or as close to it as possible.

Fluffy - Yeah, I've found motherboards that fit the bill but they're out of stock at most places I've tried.

The ASUS Sabertooth boards come in camo themed PCB and some come with TUF Armor that kind of resembles military body armor.

Here is the current Intel build I've assembled, trying to stay as close to the theme as I can and staying around my budget.

Thoughts?

at that price, you probly should consider an SSD as well, my preference would be a 480 GB one minimum, but you could consider a 256 GB model
