Hi Bino,
Yes long time no-talk-to. I am not a gamer, but I'll share some goodies
I have or dream about.
OS: your choice
Kbd&mouse: your choice
Display: Your choice, but I'm very happy with my Dell U2412M (x2).
Case: Lian-Li - youchoose
PSU: Seasonic 650W (modular) Gold
M/B: Any ASUS Z97, you choose (I like the PRO)
Processor: Intel Core i7/4770K/4790K
Ram: G.Skill ~16GB
Optical: your choice (I like the ASUS burner)
Video: nVidia forever
Hard drive: SSD all the way! I use Samsung and Crucial. EM is dead no
matter how big/cheap they are.
I've seen some Enterprise SSD devices for CAD/CAM, but they cost ~$3K.
Just a bit much.
The Collective knows all about 'water-cooling.' I do not. I still use
whatever comes in the box.
HTH,
Duncan

Subject: [H] Long time and new desktop gaming PC?
Hey all, LOOOOONG time no talk/see! Glad to see the collective is still here
and going strong! Who's running/hosting the list if I may ask?
Anyway, that aside, question for you all as I haven't been keeping up with
stuff the last few years...
My main desktop gaming PC died *years* ago and rather than replacing it I've
been using my laptop as kind of a stopgap (yeah I know, but when I got in 2011
it was a Core i7-740QM with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 and then I upgraded
it with 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD so it's been pretty bad-ass; just has heat
issues when I really hit graphics intensive games...)
Anyway if I wanted to get a really bad-ass gaming PC but not necessarily go
through the trouble of building one myself, anyone got any recs on builders
that give you the whole shebang that offer the best customizability. Like
Falcon Northwest or Puget Systems, etc, etc?
Budget-wise I don't know; what *should* I spend on one of these??
And is there any new tech I should def get, like all 3D monitors or
multi-screen gaming or Oculus Rift something like that?? I've been mostly
playing Xbox360 and then iOS games lately lol! :P
