Newest HTPC/Gaming build
Posted: Wed Oct 17, 2018 2:10 pm
Building a computer for my brother. Here's the plan so far:
CPU; Intel - Core i5-8600K 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor
There anything in the new 9th gen chips worth knowing about?
CPU Cooler; Scythe - SCNJ-4000 84.6 CFM
Open to other suggestions here.
Motherboard; MSI - Z370 GAMING PRO CARBON ATX LGA1151
Love my MSI Z270, am hoping this is as good
Memory; Corsair - Vengeance LED 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3600
Open to suggestions here too. Would 4000 speed chips make any noticeable difference? GSkills are cheaper, anything bad about them?
Storage; Samsung - 970 Evo 1.0TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
Pretty much perfect for installing all software on. Will use external drives for media.
Video Card; MSI - GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB Video Card
Hoping to see price drops on this real soon. (Also considering the new 2070)
Case; Fractal Design - Define R6 Black ATX Mid Tower
Love my R5, any differences here to know about? Also there are 2 versions with different ports, which is best for a 370 MB?
What's the best options for 2 fans to put in the front of this?
Power Supply; EVGA - SuperNOVA P2 650W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Already have this, so basically free.
thanks for any input.
