Hello Toms Hardware
I have heard from my friend that this site's forums is very helpful for IT questions and pc builds so I decided to give this a go. I basically need to buy a pc VERY soon as my current one broke down.. Now I think I can still salvage some parts but I'm not quite sure as I'm at work right now and I'd need to check at home and edit this post on my phone... In any case I'm looking for an entire new build. I have no budget whatsoever. I tried installing my new gtx 1070 in my old system and from there it just went downhill and I accidently broke my pc I guess (BIOS related).
The purpose of my system will be: Gaming at 1080p/1440p, I want to have dual monitors, I will be playing very taxing games and it has to be relatively future proof, livestreaming, youtube (so video editing, I would upload 2-3 times a week). Keep in mind the very taxing games please because that's what the pc probably needs to be centered around, and also good enough for livestreaming and youtube ofcourse. The games are like GTA V, Witcher 3, and other taxing ones that people use benchmarks on to test their GPU's.
So now that you know that theres no budget and the purpose of the system, I would also like a system that is black and red themed... my last pc was randomly put together because that was my first time building a pc ever so I wasn't that picky, now I want to be pickier.
So black and red, would appreciate and like red LEDS.
So if you guys are willing, help a fellow green IT enthousiast out.
I will most likely ask many questions in this thread so be prepared and patient please.
Let's fill in the blanks
CPU:?
CPU cooler: ?
Motherboard: ?
RAM:
Storage:
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Video Card (I bought this GPU already for my previous system that didn't work. I just hope the card actually works and isn't DOA... also is this GPU good
enough for my needs? Also keep in mind I bought 1070 as a temporary solution, down the line in 1 or 2 years I will buy a single GPU but I'm waiting for a goo TI card to come up and blow up performance charts like the 1000 series did.
Case: ?
Case LED fans?
PSU: ?
OS: I'm guessing windows 10 here, my favourite is 7 but there are performance gains when going to win 10 I heard along with dx12 compatibility so just for future proofing sake win 10 for me I think.
Wireless Network adaptor: I use a USB network stick right now but I think an adaptor would be better.. Also can I disable this if the stick ends up being better? I know I know, wireless! NO! But this is only a temporary solution for 6 months until I move to my new place.
Monitors (2): ?
Sound Card: Is this needed for good surround sound?
Let me know if you want to know the parts I do have still from my last pc setup, maybe I can reuse some parts.
If you guys end up helping me I will be really grateful.
Thank you in advance, and let's make a cool gaming system together!
