Hey everyone. A couple of months ago I began picking up parts to build a new HTPC/Oculus VR machine. Then new shinier parts came out and I bought those too. So now I'm building a HTPC/VR PC and a new gaming desktop.
The HTPC needs to be able to stream 4K video, be a Plex media server, and run my Oculus Rift. Data storage for my movies isn't a big deal because I have a separate NAS on the network.
My Gaming PC needs to well, game. I have a 4K monitor, so It would be nice if I can play on high settings.
So I have all the parts already. I guess I can send something back if you guys really see a problem. My big question is what CPU/Mobo and video card should go into the gaming PC and what should go into the HTPC/VR.
Cases
Coolermaster EVO XB for the HTPC/VR
Corsair Carbide 740 for the Gaming PC
CPU/Mobo
EGVA Z270 FTW K paired with a I7 7700K with a Noctua NH-D15 fan
ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E paired with a I7 8700K with a Noctua NH-D15 fan
Memory
Both PC's are using 16gb of Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x 8gb DDR4 3200
Power Supplies
Both PC's are using a EVGA SUPERNOVA 850W G3
Hard drives
Both PC's Samsung 500GB SSd
Both PC's WD Black 2TB for games and anything I don't want to stream over the network
Video Cards
EVGA GTX 1080Ti FTW3
EVGA GTX 1080 FTW
Any suggestions on what setup for the gaming PC and which for the HTPC/VR PC would be great.
Thanks!
