It doesn't harm to get familiar with how things are put together or what a person should be looking at to avoid picking incompatible parts, dimensions, etc. Also, getting more familiar with the jargon, different bus types and so on can't hurt. Reading and.watching more about this has helped me...

I'll continue researching into building these things before making a final decision. I'm not in a hurry. it will be 2018 before I am ready to do anything. I'm presently paying down a home-related cost. I'll be done with that by the end of this month.

I want the machine to be capable of doing 3D and 2D animation since I have an interest in trying my hand at that. It is not just for gaming. The Tom's build looks okay. However, frankly, I'm not interested in spending money on a product line that is at the end of its life cycle, when it comes to...

Well, I started looking at building again. This is what I have come up with so far. Asus Maximus X Hero mobo I7-8700K 3.7 processor EVGA Supernova 850 P2 850W PSU Corsair Obsidian 750D Airflow case. Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2 1TB SSD NZXT Kraken X62 liquid cooler Cost for this stuff 2129...

With Windows? Probably not that long. :)

Why wouldn't it have worked? You basically changed out all.of the major components: processor, mobo and RAM. It was.essentially a new machine not counting drives.

While I was looking for my mic to do a YPAO calibration on my home theatre set up, I started noticing all of the half done projects that I seem to start and never finish. For that reason, while I'm sute I could put one of these things together, I think I'm going to steer clear of doing a build...

Unfortunately, I can't go to the US site. Dell redirects to their Canadian site if a person tries to open your link. I forgot to add that there is a gaming keyboard and mouse in my original pricing. Still, using XE.com to get a rough exchange rate difference, the 1800 US price you mentioned...

I'm thinking on settling for an Alienware Aurora with the following specs. I7-8700K processor Windows 10 pro 16GB Dual Channel 2666MHz RAM GTX 1070 8Gb DDR5 512Gb M.2 NVME SSD + 1TB 7200 SATA HDD Killer 1535 WiFi I'm still trying to decide if it would be better to buy the 1070 and then upgrade...

Do any of the GPU's, like the 1080TI, support output in HDR? They don't seem to mention that in any of the specs. Edit: Also, I'm wondering how that PCG rig would handle doing 2D and 3D animation if a person wanted to experiment with that?

An Alienware Area 51 with an 17-7800, 16MB of 2400MHz RAM and a GTX 1080 Ti card is about 3550 Canadian before taxes. The Alienware storage is a 128GB M.2 SSD + 2TB 7200 RPM HDD. For about 3300 all in, I could build the PC Gamer second tier system with the same 1080 Ti card, 16MB of RAM, 1TB...

I was thinking about dropping the extra 1070 to reduce the cost of this. Dropping the extra 1070 would put this system around 3500 canadian with what I have listed here. I'm also looking at PC mag component list for a rig, but I haven't had time to price it out. I don't have a problem going to...

When it comes to computers I tend to go overboard versus what I want and what I need. I always end up spending 3 to 4000 grand on these things because I don't want to replace a computer every two years. Therefore, I always go for more power than I will probably ever use during the lifetime of...
