So, after being out of gaming for like 10 years (since i got married) i am now am ready to build a dedicated gaming rig with the emphasis on VR.
BUDGET (and country you are buying them in)
maybe 5,000 USD, and all stuff will be bought in the USA.. probably overmuch but im buying pretty much a whole new rig and that price includes the VR gear (hopefully)
PURPOSE OF THE BUILD
games. period. i will keep my current daily driver for everything else.
ITEMS YOU NEED/ALREADY HAVE
Have:
2x 1080ti (i will upgrade that at some point of course)
EVGA P2 850 watt if needed ill get a new one.. this is gold rated, plat or titanium would be nice)
ratt 9 mouse
Need: (thanks to oxrufiioxo for this inital list)
mobo : Gigabyte - Z390 AORUS MASTER ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
cpu : Intel - Core i9-9900K 3.6 GHz
cpu cooling : Corsair - H115i RGB PLATINUM 97 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
case : Phanteks - ENTHOO EVOLV X GLASS (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
gaming keyboard : Corsair - K70 RGB RAPIDFIRE Wired Gaming Keyboard
ram : Corsair - Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
boot/OS drive : Samsung - 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
Game drive : Samsung - 860 Evo 2 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive
misc drive : 2 x Western Digital - Black 4 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (RAID 1)
monitor Gigabyte - AORUS AD27QD-SA 27.0" 2560x1440 144 Hz Monitor
VR gear: Valve index full kit with 2 base stations. preorder
OVERCLOCK OR NOT?
of course![Smile :) :)](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/smile-v1.gif)
OS will be win10 pro
so, real issue (maybe) is intel or amd. no brand loyalty so whatever will provide best performance now and for the next few years. i know intel is the single tread king right now but are games moving to multi core (like using more than 4?)
bling. um thats a "no". only thing i find i useful is my corsair keyboard K68 rbg abilities to assign say, my numpads color based on CPU temperature and the ability to assign colors to game command keys.
i wish it to be fairly quiet so a AIW cpu cooler is pretty much a must. i figure a 360mm radiator with low(ish) noise fans will take care of that.
so as you can see this list is pretty blank. sorry about that, ive been out of the gaming scene since i got married, which of course is a much more fun game. but now its time to play![Smile :) :)](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/smile-v1.gif)
any suggestions or questions feel free to ask, im here to learn.
