January 24, 20179 yr Well, that's definitely a great PC. However I would have just upgraded your RAM and GPU, and overclocked that CPU (if you hadn't already.)
January 24, 20179 yr Author Well, that's definitely a great PC. However I would have just upgraded your RAM and GPU, and overclocked that CPU (if you hadn't already.) I have had it overclocked to 4.4GHZ since i got it, but lately i have had alot of BSOD, the person who i take my PC to said its due to the CPU, the most stable i could get it OC was about 3.9Ghz unfortunately Ssd(s) A nice G-Sync monitor? Are you able to link me please thank youu Do you guys think I should upgrade the Power supply unit aswell? Or wont it need to be upgraded with these new components I7 6700K 4.7Ghz, GTX ROG Strix GTX1070 8GB, ASRock z170 Extreme6+, Corsair 16GB ram, Corsair Hydro Series H110I extreme cooler, ASUS VC279H monitor. Thanks in advance, Jack
January 24, 20179 yr Wondering why you haven't chosen for a Kaby Lake processor with a Z270 motherboard. Besides that; if possible, cancel the order for the H170 motherboard and get one with a Z170 chipset. Motherboards with the Z170 chipsets are better equipped for overclocking and tweaking. SSD's will help you reducing loading times. Will not or hardly improve FPS. Regards, Frank van der Werff
January 24, 20179 yr Are you able to link me please Well Ssds are slightly pricier than they were a few months ago due to a worldwide Nand shortage.... But these are considered to be very good and reliable drives. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16820147373 And various good G-Sync and non G-Sync monitors: I also tend towards IPS models because of the colors and enhanced viewing angles of that technology, especially now that G-Sync IPS models with high refresh rates and low latency are available. https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100160979%2050001315%204814 This is the one I have: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236405 We are all connected.....
