Chameleon Posted September 9, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinfulRaevyn Posted September 9, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinfulRaevyn Posted September 9, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanaraud Posted September 10, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobba Posted September 10, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
