Over the past 3 years, my Alienware X51 R2 has gone through data crashes, viruses, and startup issues. The RAM was slow and outdated, and thus replaced. Upon the need to replace the 2012 version of the Intel® HD Graphics 4400 and the GeForce GTX 745 in my PC, I discovered that a GeForce GTX 1060 Graphics Card would not only be a little big, but required me to buy an expensive power supply. After this, I just decided I needed a new computer altogether, with a bigger case, and my own customized layout.
What I have planned right now is:
Case - Carbide Series® SPEC-ALPHA Mid-Tower Gaming Case — Black/Silver
GPU - GeForce GTX 1080
CPU - Intel 7th Gen Intel Core Desktop Processor i7-7700K
Cooling - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan
Motherboard - ASUS ROG Maximus IX Code LGA1151 DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 Z270 ATX Motherboard with onboard AC Wifi and USB 3.1
RAM - Currently using in current rig - 2x8gb ddr4
Storage - SSD | Samsung 850 EVO 500GB - HDD | Seagate Barracuda 2TB (2016)
PSU - Cooler Master V750 - 750W Compact Fully Modular 80 PLUS Gold Power Supply
