Thanks for the info - titan xp would probably be overkill for a media server.

I have a 4 bay synology NAS box with 1 HDD that I use a bit like a scratch disc. surely by torrenting directly to that mapped drive I can reduce the number of writes to the onboard SSD?

*thanks followmerogerthat for the case recommendation - more things to consider

That power benchmark was using Titan Xp.

Yeah, using mapped drive by default should focus on that disk.

Dear sifus, below spec list is my first AMD rig build. Does the part combo is good or any good combo parts that perform well with AMD ryzen processor?

[Purpose]
Gaming, watching youtube and upload video

[Hardwares that will be re-use]
Acbel 1000W PSU (currently used in my existing PC) or Acbel 600W PSU (left in storage but tested working OK). Is 600W PSU enough for this AMD build?

Thank you for your time and your suggestions are appreciated.

i3-7100 will perform better

GIGABYTE GTX 1050Ti OC 4GB
Seagate 1TB
PNY 120GB SSD

I understand that..

But how significant is the improvement for my usage and does it justify the extra rn2xx in price?

What i mean is if the improvement is not that much for usage i mentioned earlier it would make sense for me to just get the pentium and save money

Also tq for your input

Hi,

I would like to build a desktop. Currently below are the parts which I prepare use:
1 x processor - i7 - 7700k (bought)
1 x motherboard - gigabyte z270x Gaming 7 (bought)
2 x ram - hyper fury 2400 8GB DDR4
1 x samsung SSD - 250GB
1 x Harddisk - 2TB/3TB
1 x GPU - zotac 1080 AMP edition
1 x monitor (should be 27'' ~ 31'')

My purpose is to play games, watch movie, play ps4 games etc. Can help to check is the above combination fine? If fine, can help to recommend:
1. Which fan/heat sink is suitable for processor? It is not included when I bought the processor. Might do over clock if needed.
2. What type of casing is better? My friend suggest Tecware Alpha. If Tecware Alpha, seems like 3 fans included (2 front, 1 rear). Still need extra fans?
3. Which power supply is better? Is 750W enough?
4. Any other missing parts in the desktop?

Thank you.

You can't play PS4 games on PC unless it is an emulator.

1. Go for at least Coolermaster Hyper 212X
2. Bigger casing is better for high end setup. Heat accumulates slower. Aesthetics is entirely up to you.
3. Go for quality power supply like Super Flower Leadex Gold, EVGA Supernova, Corsair HX or AX series, Seasonic. You can't go wrong with these brands.
4. Nope

give u some of my experience, kabylake i7 is SUPER hot, i highly suggest u get a very BEAFY cooler [water cool recommended] especially u planning to oc later

1. u dun need such high frequency ram..
2. segotep 600w gold around 399
3. WD ssd would be enuf... tat 2 256 around 440

u need a liquid cooler for a k overclockable proc le.. need prepare 300-1000 there depends wat type cooler u wan.. nxzt kraken is RM1000 range
tecware alpha cannot... no space for liquid cooler.. ID cooling 12cm fan oso need a bigger casing ... tecware titan, segotep k6 those casing u need

Get your fact right first

NZXT Kraken is not RM 1000 range, the most expensive one (X62) is just RM 759.

And Tecware Alpha is a standard ATX case with 240mm top and 280mm front radiator support, plenty of space for AIO water cooler.

Depends on which type of games you are going to play, I can see they all come with GTX1050Ti so the main deciding factor would be CPU, if the games you play is CPU demanding then pick the Ryzen 5 1600 build, if not then the i3 will do, you could even swap the i5 7400 to Ryzen 5 1400 build if your budget is around 2.8k.

BTW for both Intel builds, the mobo picked is mATX form factor, it won't fit in the ITX case (CM Elite 130 is an ITX case) FYI.

RM 600 can get a 1080p IPS monitor already, look for ViewSonic VA2419-SH/Dell S2218H/S2318H/Acer R221Q etc.

Hey, need a quotation for a rig here

Budget not constraint as long as the specs below are fulfill, usage is for 3D Modelling and Rendering, some gaming

Ryzen 7, 16GB ram, 240GB SSD, 24" monitor, maybe a 1060/1070

Since budget is not a problem then I will just go "all in" mode

AMD Ryzen 7 1700 - RM 1599
Asus Prime B350-PLUS - RM 533
G.SKill Aegis 16GB (8GB x 2) DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 570
Zotac GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 AMP! Edition+ - RM 1379
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD - RM 474
WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 219
EVGA SuperNova 550 G3 - RM 499
Tecware Alpha - RM 219
Dell S2318H IPS - RM 699

Total: RM 6191 (ETECH price inclusive of GST)
