Bought a new desktop. Specs included
Hey so it's been 15 years since I purchased a PC just for gaming, and back then since I was a student I was only able to get a mid-range one.
Here are the specs of the PC I just bought (prime day discounts + microcenter awesomeness), with costs before taxes.
CPU: Ryzen 3600 / $199.99
Motherboard: Gigabyte x470 Ultra Gaming / $99.99
GPU: RTX 2070 Super / $529.99
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16 GB 2x8 / $67.99
Harddrive: Samsung 860 Evo SSD 1 TB / $129.99
Power: EVGA 650 W Gold Semi Modular / $99.99
Monitor: Dell S2716DGR 144 Hz Gsynch / $339.99 (open box, almost new)
Case: NZXT H500i Black / $96.99
Keyboard: Logitech G413 / $64
Before tax $1,619 / after tax $1,753
I am ready to rock and roll with this thing in a couple of weeks after assembling.

Sticky mouses will be in need of cleaning soonly.
All kidding aside, you should be able to run quite a few games for a few years until you have to replace the video card and processor.

This will last me a good five years of high graphics gaming. Then I'll sell it for $400 or something.

That's true. I used to do a tonne of CPU gaming but keeping up with all the upgrades was hitting me hard in the pocket book so I quit. I bet quake and doom will run exceptionally well for ya.
I'm kinda curious how classic WOW reissue would run on a system like yours, but that's neither here nor there.

It's not 2070, it's 2070 super, which is a newly released card closer to 2080, or almost identical to 1080 ti.

that's a solid build, better than my computers
I would throw in a mechanical hard drive though, you'd be surprised how fast your ssd will fill up

yeah definitely agree, big mechanical storage is dirt cheap and OS footprint + steam library will rip thru a 1TB drive in no time.

When I bought my PC last November, I bought a WD Black 1 TB HDD just for games, thinking that was enough. Boy, was I wrong.

Re: Bought a new desktop. Specs included
I don't have white people problems of running out of space because I'm not putting everything I ever bought on it. At most I install a few games and that's it - as much as I need to and no more. If I run out of space, I delete the games I don't play. I don't ever plan on getting an SUV for the same reason, just because every damn American feels they need one.
I don't have any other content that takes up much space either. I can certainly easily let a year go by before requiring additional space, so I could easily just buy a mechanical drive next year in the discount season.

Live within your means, Americans. You waste too much food, take up more space than you need, spend more than you need. Learn from us Asians.

Shadowalk is colonized by America, so he doesn't count.

Considering it's been 15 years since you built a PC, you may want to disable auto-defrag for your SSD.The Ultimate wrote:Harddrive: Samsung 860 Evo SSD 1 TB / $129.99

Imran you should really lecture the Americans around you more often. Like in the workplace, Walmart etc.
