Hello everyone, been a member for a while but been lurking in the background , well i built my rig last February, and have added a few parts since, Recently I added
2 Nvidia GTX 1080 founders edition cards. I did that today, I am upgrading from a single GTX 980, am hoping to see a big difference. So what I have in my Rig, lets start from the beginning. I bought all my parts from Newegg,
MoBo: ASUS Rampage V Extreme/U3.1
Intel I7 5930K 6 Core, should have come here when I built this to ask you all what your thoughts would have been on a CPU for me, I just game so might have done better than this ?
Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D,
PSU: Corsair 860i with Red Sleeved cables from Corsair,
Sandisk 240GB SSD from best buy, its nothing to write home about but way faster than a traditional Mechanical hard drive, I have Windows 10 64Bit on it and some games as well, D3, EQ1,EQ2,WoW, Rise of the Tomb Raider, will be adding a few more eventually. Where I bought 2 Nvidia GTX 1080's I get For Honor And ghost recon Free. I wasn't sure if I should Put Just my Operating system on that and get a different SSd for Storage, Games Etc.. but seems to be handing it fine, if anyone wants to give me some advice on this I am all ears. I want to Get a SamSung M.2 Evo's Not sure which one I should get , I know they get very good Ratings, they have a standard and a pro version, unsure which is better.
32 GBs of Corsair Dominator DDR 4 3200 , I also have 2 fan Coolers over my Ram with red LEDs ,corny? it looks cool or maybe not let me know what you guys think please.
2X Nvidia GTX 1080 $686.49 at BestBuy, they matched Amazons price, I didn't feel like waiting for the TI version and am sure it would carry a much Larger Price tag than that and really don't know how much of a difference it would of made?
This system is Air cooled , I can not wait to Water cool it and ask everyone for there input on it when I take the plunge in to that, still a ways away.
Over this past weekend I tried 2 different ASUS PG348Q's 1 had a build Date of August 2016 and the other Had a build date of December 2016, both had significant BLB ,so I sent them back today, waited over a year to finally take the plunge and buy 1 from Amazon and was Disappointed with the first one so I sent for a replacement and that was the same, For $1,200.00 I Expect a Premium Monitor , I will include 2 pictures of each of them. I don't know what to get now, I want a 34"Ultrawide , the PG348Q's were so Beautiful until you get a dark scene in a game or Movie and you have Lights coming off each Corner.....
Here are some Pictures of my system so far, I took these with an IPhone 5S so hope they look good
And this was both my PG348Q's , I took the pictures with no lights on like I have seen other people have done, #1
#2
the pictures got turned somehow can someone please either turn them up right or let me know how please?
Anyways Let me know what you think of my Build so far, its a work in progress, I tried doing a really nice job with the cable management inside and also behind the back panal, I know no one will ever see it but I know its there and I am kind of a perfectionist . thanks for checking it out and if there is anything I could do better please let me know, thanks a lot .
