On suggestion from others I’m making a thread to post PC stuff for anyone interested. I’m super passionate about this topic and if you have questions I’d be happy to try to help
This PC was my latest Build done this past summer
CPU: Ryzen 3700x
Cooler:Hyper 212 EVO black
GPU : Asus ROG Strix 2080 ti
RAM: was changed at a later date the one in the picture was some spare ram I had laying around cause RAm was not delivered yet at the time of building it is now 32 GB of ddr4 3600 mhz g skill trident z RAM
MOBO:asus X570 TUF wifi
PSU: I don’t quite remember… I believe it was a corsair 850 w psu 80 plus gold
1 TB corsair SSD
4 TB seagate HDD
128 GB samsung NVME drive for boot
case was a budget TG deepcool case. hated that thing such a waste to build great specs in a case but whatever man wants what he wats and it’s what he’s gonna get
Built February this year after a phone call from a friend that they were at canada computers looking for a keyboard came out with all these parts and no fucking keyboard. stardew valley, slime rancher, and league of legends machine
CPU: 2600x
cooler: stock cooler
MOBO: B450 ROG strix
GPU:2070 XC
RAM: 16 gig Trident Z
PSU: EVGA 750 w GQ
Storage: 840 evo for boot drive Don’t remember the capacity, 2 TB HDD
Case: H700i why such an expensive case? cause she liked the pretty RGB. CAse was a pleasure to build in so not going to complain…
this was built early 2018
by far one of my least favorite builds to have ever worked on cause of the case such a garbage cheap plastiky case.
CPU:1600x
cooler: Hyper 212 evo
MOBO: B350 asus ROG
GPU: RTX 2070 XC ultra was a 1060 during initial build
Storage: 1 TB WD blue
Boot: 500 GB 860 evo
Case: corsair Carbide spec 04 cable mGMT is garbage on this case dont buy it for any customer there are much better cases now at this price point.
Aight 1070 founders edition
650 watt EVGa gq
500 gig 860 evo
B350 PC mate
16 gig Corsair vengeance 3000mhz
2 +3 gig Seagate barracudas
Phanteks P400s
Fans are a mishmash of Corsair, Silverstone,and fractal design
Cooler is a be quite bk 009
That case is pretty freaking sweet…are you looking at more efficient components to load into that portable? Seams like an interesting prospect with a totally different set of parameters from a usual PC build…
I got a 520W PSU in there, if space (or mainboard) allowed for it, I could have two GPUs in there.
A battery to make it truely portable would make it impossible to move without putting wheels on it.
What if you put together a hodgepodge of OEM laptop components. Use the same design basics, but much smaller, more efficient parts. Think that could be an interesting project to basically build your own “desktop killer” “laptop” - really more of a portable computer at this point…but whatever
Custom loops are awesome, but I personally can’t justify the expense unless I were to build an insanely high end pc. The cooling doesn’t give any practical boost to performance unless the parts being cooled are the absolute top end and you plan to overclock. Now if I win the lottery…I’m all for it. I think it looks amazing and really brings an artistic element onto the build. But a full loop for CPU and GPU runs 1000$++ which really prohibits it from being worth it for all but the highest end builds imo.
I want to do a custom loop next build, but is a few years away. I think that the market for custom loop parts is going to get more competitive and cheaper now that EK and Alphacool have legitimate competition with Corsair, Phanteks and enermax all in the market.
I sure hope so. Currently like I said I can’t justify the cost unless my components are top of the line. And I can’t even justify the top of the line components to myself (I’m looking at you Nvidia) for the price…
Edit: also looking at Intel for about the last ten years… >.<
