Hi all!
I have build quite a couple of PCs before, for both me and my family, but for those I always looked for reduced prices and deals etc. to keep it at around 500-700 bucks. Now this time I want to go all out and looking at how the graphics card prices are slowly dropping, this appears to be right time.
Budget. How much are you willing to spend?
5000€ for everything, this means budget should include computer, 2 Monitors, VR-Headset (I have mouse and keyboard already), Operating System. While I do have Mouse and Keyboard, if there is money left, I would consider upgrading to a mechanical keyboard.
Where do you live?
Germany
What will you be using your Glorious computer for?
Mostly Gaming, some basic image editing using photoshop (drawing maps, usually size of pics will not exceed 5k x 5k)
My dream would be to make this PC powerful enough to run Star Citizen 60FPS in VR (even at reduced graphics/resolution settings).
Do you plan on going for custom water-cooling now, or in the future?
I would at consider watercooling, if it is the right solution for me.
What size monitor are you looking for, and what resolution? Screen type (IPS, S-IPS, TN, etc.) ,hertz (60, 120, etc.)
No particular preference for Screentype hertz, however I don´t like my Monitors TOO large. I would be rather happy with either a 22’ widescreen or 24’ widescreen.
Current build, lifted from logical increments: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/YzHNcY
I was confused about all the different models of 8GB 1080, so any assistance on which one is the right one for me, would be very helpful! Also, I am considering upgrading to 2x1080ti if budget permits.
Same goes for Case. I got the same case I selected in above build from a friend, and was super happy with it, as there was space for everything. Logical Increments recommends the X version, but I don´t really see the difference.
I have no idea when it comes to monitors, as I usually simply used whatever I had at hand…
