Building a PC...maybe
Hey pals,
I built a PC a long time ago when D3 came out. Built it to play that game with all settings maxed out. Anyways, that piece of shit never worked right from day one and by time I was fed up, everything was out of warranty so I just dealt with it. Anyways, thinking about building a new PC and was curious if ya'll had any input or feedback. Below is what I am thinking... PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X61 106.1 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver 3.5g Thermal Paste Motherboard: Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB FTW Gaming ACX 3.0 Video Card Case: Corsair 750D ATX Full Tower Case Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply Wireless Network Adapter: Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I PCI-Express x1 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi Adapter Fan Controller: NZXT SENTRY 3 Fan Controller | ||

Kraken x62, an nvme m.2 sdd over lame 2.5", and the grid+ is pretty dope over the sentry
Arctic silver hasn't aged too well iirc, might be better alternatives GL And concede

That case is a beast. Unless youre going to have dual GPUs and all the bells and whistles its probably overkill..
This case looks sick in silver. Check it out http://www.phanteks.com/Enthoo-Evolv-ATX.html | ||

Also if you're still in NYC look into microcenter (I think they have a Brooklyn or queens or something location) - much cheaper cpu/mobo combos.

Is the X62 really worth the extra $40bucks just for the LED lighting. Side note on LED lighting - i hate that shit and end up ripping most of it out. NerdGlow. I'm note sure I even need Arctic Silver with the cooling I'm going for. First time doing liquid cool, so really just threw that in out of habit - plus it's only $6. M.2 - dafuq does this plug into? PCI express? | |||

M.2 slot is on your motherboard. It's on the bottom right of that axis - look for the 3 screw pegs. NVME Ssd's are significantly faster than Sata ones (as long as you get quality shit). Not a massive boost in games tbh, but again, casuals save money here.
