Chameleon Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) I put a new PC together recently as my other had been around for a while. I am in no way a super PC geek but I believe this one to be pretty good. I decided to share some of the specs with you guys/girls, hope I got the info right.. I dunno much about cases but I think this is an ATX case, black with a window on one side and cool looking neon blue lights shining through. the rest is as follows (If I forgot to mention something important, remind me and I will post it also) AMD FX-8320 Eight Core CPU Geforce GTX 1080 GPU 32 gigs of ram 2048 GB 2TB SATA III 24x DVD±RW Dual-Layer Super-Multi Drive Liquid cooled 8x USB I feel like this should last me for a while and help me play Battlefield 1 nice and smooth when it finally releases.. I didn't post this to brag, I just wanted to share it with you all The only thing not new with this system is the OS.. I am not a fan of Win 8/8.1/10 So I installed Win7 Edited September 9, 2016 by Chameleon 2 Quote

SinfulRaevyn Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 O.o you got a 1080... why amd chip ? Intel pairs so much better for modern gaming. Still nice little build ^.^ 1 Quote

Chameleon Posted September 9, 2016 Author Posted September 9, 2016 Le noooooooob! ❤ Still a nice machine anyway! I uber jelly want 1080 baaaaad. Yeah the price of the 1080 is why I had to skimp a bit on other things lol Quote
SinfulRaevyn Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 How much was the card, if you don't mind me asking? I want to eventually build a desktop and that might be my first investment. Quote
Chameleon Posted September 9, 2016 Author Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) The cheapest I found one at the time was $649.00 they may be a little cheaper by now though I googled a bit just now and saw them around $599, so you may even find them somewhat cheaper Edited September 9, 2016 by Chameleon Quote
Vanaraud Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Yeah, GTX 1080 is a beast, though I think that FX 8350 would bottleneck the system a bit. You can check this up by running a game and checking CPU usage on Task Manager, if its 100% all the time then the CPU is bottleneck. HWinfo64 saves the data also. Any pics? Do you have CPU\GPU under custom liquid cooling loop? (I´m waiting AMD-s Vega till I´m upgrading GPU, should bring prices down and also would force nvidia to come out with a GTX 1080Ti. At least thats what I hope) 2 Quote
Jobba Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Nice build bro! What Vanaraud said though, I feel like that 8320 might be a bottleneck for the 1080! Not to worry, overclock and be happy! Pics would be nice too. 1 Quote
Chameleon Posted September 11, 2016 Author Posted September 11, 2016 I will do some pics tomorrow and post them.. I didn't know about the bottleneck or maybe I would have went another route, but so far I have been able to play all games in ultra settings at a crazy high fps so I am pretty happy hehe Quote
