I'm looking into a full new build to replace a 5+ year old system.
Reasons:
It's been a while
System performance can feel sluggish at times and windows start up slow even after various full wipe and clean installs of win 10
Current case is very large and can be load
Current setup's comatibility with Win 10 seems sketchy
Current/Old system:
NZXT Switch case
Asus Z77 deluxe motherboard
Intel Core i7 3770K Ivy Bridge
32GB DDR3 1600 RAM
Msi Geforce GTX 1070
Samsung 840 Pro SSD
4TB Seagate HDD
Preferences:
I am not able to buy parts and assemble for reasons I do not wish to get into.
My last build came from eCollegePC.com and their prices seem reasonable so would be open to using them or another similar service
United States
I'd like something reasonably compact and quiet. I have a monster full tower now and would not want to go above a mid tower this time. It doesn't have to be an ultra compact thing or anything.
No Overclocking
1080p for now
My main use is general browsing, DVR for TV, programming, video streaming and transcoding, and sometimes gaming
I need an OS but not monitor, speakers, etc
Open to selling old full system to offset new build a bit
Budget is somewhat open but from initial research it looked like I might be in the 2700 range for what I initially picked
I'd like USB 3.1 and type C on the front panel if at all possible for future purposes. Case options for this have seemed limited
Initial rough attempt at picking parts:
Asus strix Z270 E
Geforce GTX 1070
32GB DDR4 2400 (the upgrade to 3000mhz is available but I assume pointless if I'm not OCing and before saying its not worth going over 16GB, don't because I've regularly use more than that and feel the difference in price is well worth it)
500GB Samsung 960 EVO M2 - The Pro seems much more expensive and from what I've read not worth the diofference
6TB WD black
Corsair 650W gold PSU
BD reader or RW drive
Win 10 Pro x64
Falcon Northwest define R5 but that did seem larger than I'd like but do still need to fit an ODD drive, video card, and CPU cooler.
Possibly open to closed loop water CPU cooler if they are completely safe and maintanence free. I had a bad experience with a full custom loop a decade ago that eventually started losing liquid and overheating.
