If you want to protect your investment, buy another ssd drive and use RAID for drive mirroring so you back up your data and don't lose any speed.

The only thing you might want to cut back on is the 8GB 1080 and buy a 4GB 1080. Mind what brand, some of the driver disks you receive with the board have (mostly harmless) malware/spyware and have heat sinks that are too large to be practical with an SLI setup.

>>
>>59628007
Did you know gaming PC's use more powerful processors than most server platforms?

Server platforms usually use dual or quad xeon CPU's, which are garbage compared to even AMD's FM2 Trinity chips They use xeons because they use serverblades which don't have enough vertical space to install small heat sinks and air cooling.

Older servers use racks that stack verically instead of horizontally like HP server blades.

HP servers are expensive as fuck, they look all shiny but they are really overpriced.

however, if you want to for ryzen. get a 1700, they o'c similar to the other, more expensive, variants, use any money saved on buying a non-ref 1080ti, the founders edition is garbage.

also ryzen really benefits from high speed RAM, you should research on what boards currently have the best BIOSes for Ram speeds, as speeds were slow as launch. try to aim for 3000mhz +.

The Xeon's i've seen in servers were usually 8 cores, because while servers don't need the throughput of a gaming rig they need to be able to do a lot of things fast and all at once. I see a lot of AMD in servers because it's more cores for the buck, and most of the xeons I've seen were in enterprise workstations.

>>
>>59627962
because for a time there was no single gpu that could sustain 60fps at decent resolutions, multiple small gpus were overall better when they worked right, or multiple powerful ones for a stupid setup.

Then the 900 series came and there was no real reason for sli anymore as a 980 or 980ti could do most things at 144hz, or 1440p, and a single 1080 can drive most games to around 60fps 4k if you are willing to reduce details from ultra 'the engine is breaking' down to very high 'pretty much no difference but far more performance'

>>59627864
Both seem to be going for mcm as a final solution as monolithic gpus are a problem, but at that point firmware should be able to make them run at near 100% scaling and no issues as its all treated as one gpu apposed to multiple.

Also, the 1080 is overkill in most cases, so stepped it down to a 1070, that will last till at least navi/volta or the gen after and that's where you want to splurge on a top end if you really want/need one as they will probably handle 4k at well over 60fps, maybe not 144 but well over 60 at least.

>Get a WD Blue. Also 5400RPM is shitty.
I already have 10 TB of space, but I am getting another all the same. It doesn't really have to be a 7200RPM one. Not too concerned about speed, but I will still consider getting it.
>Don't get the 1080Ti, get a 1080. The only 1080Tis out there are founders edition.
Hmm yeah that's what I was thinking, are the founder's edition cards that much worse? The Ti is probably much more than I need anyway.
>You very likely don't need a DVD writer.
I use it enough, as rarely as that may be, that I do warrant still having one.
>A 7700K is overkill for gaming. Are you doing video editing, photo editing?
I have a job editing porn for cam girls, so yes, video editing definitely.
>You're only going to need 16GB of RAM.
This is what everyone says, but even if it's just for the rendering, I want more than 16 GB. 32 is just the next logical choice
>Get an AC WiFi adapter, or as the other anon said, use ethernet if possible because it's much better.
I'm currently using ethernet, but not conveniently... my modem is on the ass other side of my house. I have my ethernet running through the floor into my basement and then up into my room to be plugged into my computer. I've seen this particular adapter work extremely well, so that is why I want to get it.
>>
>>59634060
Seriously though, if you have a job editing videos get the 8 core CPU

get a bloody intel wifi adapter. TP-Link, even on the high end, is garbage for throughput. The $60 TP wifi cards I made the mistake of buying cap out at around 31MB/s while my shit $18 intel card pulls 300+ without blinking (which is its rating)

I run a repair shop, I see nothing but trouble from TP link equipment (aside from their routers, which have always been rock solid in my experience). But even their wired cards are shit, with 50% of them being DOA

It's more of a free-lancing thing than a traditional job, but it's there nonetheless. My main intentions are gaymin with this rig anyway, but I do still use it for editing shit.

The intel wifi adapter bit interests me though, can you link one you're talking about? I've had good experience with the TP-Link, but I don't mind to try something else. I will still have the option to be wired regardless, so it's not that big of a deal to me (I'm not removing my 50+ ft of ethernet cable from how it is setup)

I give in /g/ I'm switching to Black drives.

This board is so back and forth on the two cpus. It's probably one of the reasons why I have waited so long to purchase. My current pc is having problems though so I can't wait.

I'm going to switch things around but I don't really know about the mouse. My hands are a bit small and I've been using the G500 for a few years... it's just perfect for me. I could get another one and be content but I would prefer something new.

How's it look now? This better?

This board isn't back and forth at all you dense fuck, the 7700K is ONLY for pure gaming machines.

Anything that's going to do actual work at all, you go ryzen.

what do you need it for, you little autistic shit?
Laptop would be enough. You know it.

That mobo doesn't have external bclk, thus 3200 is the max mem speed it can do. Swap either the mobo or the rams

Why even bother?

get two rx480s and run them in crossfire instead of the gtx 1080. get an aio liquid cooler like the h100i or something./ other than that looks like you're set
>>
So is 750w considered overkill now? What is good for 1700 + 480?
>>
>>59644373
It has always been overkill, so much that even LinusDickTips has a video telling people to not buy unnecessarily beefy power supplies.

Just use an online wattage calculator.
