Link3588 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Video Card: PNY GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Founders Edition Video Card ($494.97 @ Amazon) Wanted to just touch on this part... I wouldn't go for the Founders edition. even though they look cool through personal experience and from many, many friends they tend to overheat and die much faster then other brands of the card (MSI, Ect.) and usually you can get the other versions of the card for the same price or even lower. I would personally recommend GIgabytes Windforce version of the card. Other then that this list looks really good. And for lower end i used a g3258 for a LONG time and I know that the Pentium series is surprisingly reliable in CS and such... Even overclocked mine enough to run GTA V decently 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrrhic Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 If you put it together on pcpartpicker.com you can ask reddit.com/r/buildapc to review your build. They're pretty knowledgeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kv526 Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) You're really going to be pushing that power supply on the last build. Especially if you are going with a 6-Core processor and a 1080 GPU. And also if you are looking to game on the last build, don't go with AMD Ryzen, get an Intel i5 processor. 8gb of RAM is very low as well. The 1080 has just as much VRAM, get a minimum of 16gb. Unless you plan on overclocking; the featured power supply is suitable. The build uses ~330W, with a clearance of 120W. Users can go the intel route for gaming, the only intel i5 processors that Logical Increments recommends for your dollar is the i5-7500 or i5-7600k. If you plan on heavy video/image editing, or running Virtual Machines, 16GB would be recommended. However; it's overkill for most people and unnecessary.
