Gaming Pc Question (PcSpecialist)

judewilliams22 · Jan 13, 2018

Hi i need a more experienced person in gaming computers to recommend a custom build to me off the website pc specialist. I'm new to this stuff as i have always been a console gamer. Here's the link to the website
https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/intel-computers/
Once on the website can you please look into both TOP SPEC CORE COMPUTERS and CORE I7 EXTREME COMPUTERS category.
My budget is £1800 and I'm looking for a build with at least 16GB of RAM and 2TB of storage with some SSD. Can someone make a build and send me the info of a good build making sure all the parts are compatible if possible thanks

hi thanks as you have commented on my previous questions i assume your experienced with computing and i hope that you know these all run together. One question though you selected a 2nd hard drive disk but no 1st does that matter?
Because the website says the 1st hard drive is necessary but the 2nd isn't?

WildCard999 · Jan 14, 2018

The primary drive will be the M.2 SSD.

WildCard999 :

will it still have enough storage to run games?

WildCard999 · Jan 15, 2018

The M.2 will have enough for a few games but I also put in a 3TB HDD for all your games and other files.

WildCard999 · Jan 15, 2018

Nope, when downloading games you really want to install them onto the HDD as there's no difference between putting them on the SSD or the HDD besides loading times. Games such as Battlefield 4 have long loading screens that keep you from entering the game prior to it starting so you want to put that game on the SSD but most other games you'll put on the HDD.

WildCard999 :

Thanks just one more question do you think its a good gaming rig performance wise Mainly in FPS

WildCard999 · Jan 17, 2018

Yes, this system will have excellent FPS due to having the best gaming CPU out there and second best GPU (first being the 1080 ti). If your going to be playing a lot of first person competitive shooters I'd get a 144hz or faster monitor.
