I have never built a pc in my life and i’m sick and tired of paying for shitty computers that don’t last/perform. BUT I NEED YOUR HELP GUYS. So after doing some preliminary research, I came up with a build (I need advice on whether it would work well or can it be better? Thanks Thanks.

Hi.
You should be going for a corresponding x399 (not x370) board for ur 1950x.
Other than that just make sure ur case supports the dimensions of your eATX/ATX board.
Stock availability might be an issue for your parts also. Do check.

Also, re-evaluate if u really need to drop a bomb for that 1950x.

An 8700k will more than suffice for gaming and daily usage.

This PC for gaming only? If so dont bother with threadripper. Get the intel 8700K. For gaming 16GB also more than enough ram

 

[ValechoR]

Thanks for replies strahl and Crimson_FURY bros , so basically i shld just get 8700k and
z370 mobo will do ? (ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero Z370)

Yes Sir.
An 8700k w/x370 would be more than enough imho. For the board just go with 1)reliability and 2)features that u will actually use aka Usb ports / RGB etc. U should read up on it.
2x8 GB of ram is enough and would leave u with future upgradability if u need it in the future.
Just to emphasize, re-evaluate on ur usage. Really. Unless u have cash to splash.lol.

Thanks bro, currently ive revamp into this setup. Just wanna squeeze as much fps i can get. Will 2x1080ti help? Cos i heard is just sharing the load. Sry, i know not much about parts, just hearsay.

I currently have a 1080gfx with i7-6700k 32gb ram com now, built by aftershock. But its not as promising as it looks. Fps is really lacking. Its not as smooth as i wanted it to be. Sigh...

Hmm...TS should really look into the issues and not building a new PC, since a i7 6700k with GTX 1080 is still a very good PC for current gaming,

Maybe U can tell us what games u were playig at what kind of settings. Next is that which monitor u were using? Moreover how much FPS are u getting for playing at that setting and resolution?

Building another PC compared to your current one, I would said that u only gain a few FPS. But u still burn quite a lot of money (unless that is your least of your concerns.)

I'm playing pubg. my fps is at 70-90 at very low settings, sometimes drop to 50-60. I have already send it back to aftershock but came back same (facepalm)

Im using Benq 2546 dyac 240hz monitor. Its pretty bad i feel, constant jerking.

pubg engine is very bad in optimizing ...
btw 6700k with 1080 is really still a beast now

This is quite normal for pubg. Your parts are fine.

 

[ValechoR]

Yeah, thats what the staffs from aftershock says but, my fren built the exactly same com but his fps is constant 100+. (facepalm)

 

[Irenicus]

Hi ValechoR,

Your i7-6700K and GTX1080 is still a very capable gaming rig.

Have you checked whether all the drivers installed are the latest? Also check whether your video card and other components are seated properly.

Did your friend overclock his rig or run at stock speed? Maybe his fps are higher due to overclocking.

Also check your CPU and GPU temperature. If it is too high, it might lead to thermal throttling and fps drop.

 

[dreamyxq]

Lol i7 + 1080 + 32gb ram still not enough still wan upgrade, sibei elite sia..

Born with platinum spoon in mouth ah?

You got go his house and see? Maybe he's lying... lol

 

[Psychedelic Senses]

Born with platinum spoon in mouth ah?

And wanna burn a few k on an entirely new rig just because of one game lol. Definitely the case.

Meanwhile I still trying to squeeze as much out of my 3570K + 660 + 8gb before upgrading..

****i.. really difference between elite and peasants.

 

[joshuaho]

Wa 660 ehh... I trying to get my GT 620 to run Red alert 2 survival mode properly

Meanwhile I still trying to squeeze as much out of my 3570K + 660 + 8gb before upgrading..

****i.. really difference between elite and peasants.

PM me for cookie (; HardwareZone Forums app

Asus Rampage VI Extreme barely clear 570X...

So any board smaller than R6E will be good for 570X

 

[AC2]

Yeah, thats what the staffs from aftershock says but, my fren built the exactly same com but his fps is constant 100+. (facepalm)

I can also say my fps constant 200+ lol. Ppl say u believed so easily. Go his house and take a look or ask him use his handphone take video of the fps. There are always ppl that like to bluff , 50 can say 500 , 100 can say 1000

Can be better. Swap the GTX1080Ti out to Titan Xp (second gen). The GTX1080Ti chip is slightly crippled chip with less CUDA Cores than the Titan Xp (3584 Cores For 1080Ti vs 3840 Cores for Titan Xp), buy 2 to SLI the Titan Xp.

Probably can change processor to Intel i9 7980XE (18C 36T) instead of Threadripper 1950X (16C 32T) which means Motherboard need to change also.
