Hi all, once again. I'm back after a long break.
I've built my new machine this year. I had built one in 2015, but it went wrong somehow, in terms of choices. Everything is working fine since then without a single malfunctioning of any part. I'm able to play Assassin's Creed Unity (on medium settings though)
Anyway... This is my new build for the year. Please let me know what do you guys think.
CPU: Intel i7 8700K
GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC edition DDR5 4GB
Motherboard: MSI Z370-A Pro
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 2666 32GB (4 x
SSD: Crucial MX500 250GB (Last time I had bought Samsung Evo)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Cooling: Corsair H115i 280mm
PSU: Corsair CX650M
Cabinet: Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 5 RGB (This one was locally modified, a bit tow allow more space. I don't know how and why they did it, but they've modified some of the parts by welding. Thus, got it at dirt cheap price)
Overall, I spent around $1500 USD.

Re: My new config 2018
That sounds like a fine setup! : o
Planning to put away some money and build a new one next summer or so
Will post mine whenever that happens
So gaming is the main activity on this machine?
Or are there any other heavy tasks you expect to be doing? (Coding, Unity editor or maybe video rendering?)

This is mainly for video editing and animation. Actually, it's for my friend with whom I've started a new company. So, I get to use it when work is not happening on it, after office hours... then I play Assasisn's creed unity on it

Re: My new config 2018
I had already bought Samsung Evo last time. Plus, I read good reviews about Crucial MX500 in "Custom PC May 2018" magazine, in which they said it's better than or very much close to Evo. Moreover, a bit less expensive. Thus, I chose that.bad_brain wrote:why no more Samsung Evos? bad experiences?
So, it's not that Samsung is giving me any issues, I just want to try another. Let's see...

Re: My new config 2018
Reading this thread again I realize how badly I need to upgrade my shit soon.
Screen stopped working yesterday, and turned out it was something with using display port cables : /.
Any cable in any port gave the same dark result (And before this happened the sound stopped working in the screen).
Now I switched to an HDMI cable instead which works, but it has some other issues that are rather annoying.
I will post here or create a new thread whenever I decide to upgrade as well! : D
