After 25 years as a PC owner (first was an IBM 486, most recent an Alienware Aurora R5), I've decided it's high time that I built my own. It's a little on the "high end" side, and rest assured that I do NOT have "deep pockets," I just like to get three or four years where my PC can run whatever I throw at it:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (First PC without an Intel CPU)
CPU Cooler: Scythe Mugen 5 CPU Cooler (might just use the stock cooler in the end, however)
Motherboard :ASRock X470 Master SLI/AC ATX
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16Gb
Storage: Samsung 970 Pro 512GbM.2-2280 SSD (primary)
Storage: Samsung 860 Evo 2Tb 2.5" SSD (strictly for games and "large" programs)
Storage: Western Digital Gold 8Tb 3.5" 7200 RPM Internal HDD (X3 -- I am a pack rat with tons of video and backups)
GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 8Gb XC Gaming (EXACTLY the price I was going to pay for a 1080ti)
Case: Fractal Design Define R6 Black ATX Mid Tower Case (Mid Tower, my a**: the thing's huge!)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G3 750W 80+
OS: Windows 10 Pro OEM 64-Bit USB key
Monitor; Dell 23.8" 2560x1440 165Hz
I'm keeping my current Corsair 95 keyboard, and am considering a new mouse and Blu-ray burner.
Now all I have to do is put it all together!
