Looking for comments/feedback/concerns because I’m just taking guesses at what I’m building honestly.
This is intended to replace my current machine, from which I will move two dedicated SSDs (one for gaming, one for music tools & software). I already have a solid external sound card, so that won’t need to be replaced.
What I want to do with it:
- Gaming: Sometimes 1080p, sometimes “3K” (Eyefinity on triple monitors at 1920x1080 each)
- Development: Needs fast processor and plenty of RAM to compile/build and run
- Music production: Needs fast processor and plenty of RAM to load samples and tools in memory
Budget is ~$1,000 USD with some wiggle room. Hoping this build will last 4-5 years at least (for comparison, this is my current build, still serviceable: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/jodawznev/saved/jpvTCJ after 6+ years).
I would greatly appreciate any comments or feedback on this!
Oh wow, thanks! I’ll take a look at all that. I prefer a smaller case, but if I’m going to do incremental upgrades in the future this makes sense. Also clearly better components, and I didn’t consider fans at all when putting mine together. Thanks again!
The power supply listed in the other guys would be fine on this as well - I noticed mine looks ‘cheaper’ because pcpartpicker isn’t picking up prices for it. So just keep that in mind.
Also I HAVE built this system. It’s the machine my wife is currently running and in many ways I’m a bit jealous.
