PLEASE when you POST threads asking for input on system builds tell us...
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Used for VR to power an HTC Vive
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
$1200 give or take a few
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
US
4. IF you're buying parts OUTSIDE the US, please post a link to the vendor you'll be buying from.
We can't be expected to scour the internet on your behalf, chasing down deals in your specific country... Again, help us, help YOU.
5. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you anIntel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy,Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc.
Considering i7-6700K (I think that would be decent for VR plus hopefully I can get a bit more juice out of her by OC'ing.). Got HDD's, Need DD4 memory. Need good and efficient PSU and heatsink fan for the CPU. Have a GTX 970 now, so nvidia would be my choice GFX card (would i need to bump up to a faster GPU?) Also a proper PC case.
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
SSD's and HDD's, mouse/keyboard, flat panels, and i think that's it.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system atdefault speeds.
Will probably OC a bit. Not 100% sure if i'll do it.
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
1x 1920x1200 and 1x1920x1080 (main monitor) so 1080P gaming for now. Probably go 4K early Next Year.
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Note that it is usually not cost or time effective to choose your build more than a month before you actually plan to be using it.
Friday
10. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
No software necessary.
Basically i'm trying to build a rig that can sustain close to 90fps (yes I know we are 100% there yet). I'd also like to enable super sampling in VR to increase quality as well. Trying to order the parts tonight from Newegg.com for pickup at their warehouse. Any and all input appreciated.
