Hey guys
I built my first computer back in the winter of 2012/2013. The setup was medium rig that looked like this:
- Fractal Design Define R4
- Corsair TX 650M PSU
- ASUS Sabertooth Z77, Socket 1155 MOBO
- Intel i5 3570K CPU
- Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 16GB
- EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB PhysX CUDA
- Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler
- Seagate Barracuda 7200 1TB HDD
- Intel SSD 120GB (can't remember what kind)
This rig served my use perfectly up until a couple of months ago. Everything runs pretty much pretty good, and the rig has lasted a good 5 years plus.
I've started playing PUBG and Fortnite recently, and startup times are beginning to rise with windows 10 (free version).
I want to build a new pc now, and I want to build a pc that can run games smoothly and run them smoothly for years to come. My last rig was pretty cheap, all things considering, and I have bigger budget this time around. I'm looking to spend the equivalent of 2000 dollars (give or take). I have monitors and I have keyboard and a mouse.
I want a build that looks good, and within a case that makes building fun (good cable management). I haven't been following this market segment that closely the last couple of years, so I'm open to any and all suggestions!
I don't know if the 1080 is worth it in this cryptocurrency nightmare market,but as I said, I want a rig that lasts long, looks good and runs all modern games at a high framerate.
My questions therefore are:
- What should I go for in the main components? (RAM, CPU, GPU, MOBO, PSU?)
- What can I use my old rig to do? Can i rebuild it to serve as something other than my main PC?
