My new PC comes tomorrow. Too bad I gotta work 11 hour days this week for cognitive testing :mjcry:

Hopefully I can set it up tomorrow, but it might not be until this weekend :mjcry:









*prepares for benchmarking, since "I don't play games anymore" :russ: (nah...I still do, but I've been slacking with PC gaming recently)*

I can't wait to benchmark :ohlawd:

3D Mark and Prime95, PC Mark, PassMark, Heaven, Valley, aida64...oh my :blessed:

40 lanes, finally 16x16 gen3 for my Titan X Ps (apparently there can be up to a 30% increase in some application by going 16 X 16, as opposed to 8X8, with Pascal cards) :blessed:

Now to get a PCIe SSD :jbhmm:

That 960 Pro should be out soon, just wait on that.

Hopefully it doesn't go up in flames like their Note 7 phones did :francis:

Can ya help a breh out

I know nothing about gaming PCs. Nothing about specs. Nothing about building.

I really just want to play skyrim and oblivion all modded out

I'm looking into investing one but Idk if I should build one from scratch or buy a gaming pc. IDC about graphics in a game as much as just having fun playing them

What's the price range I should be looking at? What questions should I even be asking?

Minimum $500 and that comes with some compromises.

I hope you have a monitor. If not, $600.

I'm hoping a lot of these things I can get for the low on black Friday. But what am I supposed to even be looking for?
Core i5 4690K or 6600K
LGA 1150 or 1151 Motherboard
GTX 1060 6GB
240-256GB SSD
8GB RAM MINIMUM
600W 80+ bronze power supply
Mid tower case

That will run you over, but I think that's what your target should be. Gets you VR ready and everything will run great at 1080-1440P

Where is a good place to get all of this?
