Gaymin pc r8 thread

so how am i doing?

Want a 1080/144 mostly on very high/ultra. Most demanding game would be witcher 3.
Would a VG248QE, a GTX 1070 and I5 7600k be enough?

Plz rspnd

Go to system requirements lab and check if you can run TW3
Not sure about the CPU

Just did this build about a month ago using some of my student loan and I couldn't be happier with it, though I'm sure some will be critical over the amount of storage/ usage of AMD GPU. It feels so alien as my old computer was a frankenbuild of parts accumulated and bought over an 8 year span that had frequent issues most often un-explainable.
For the first few weeks, the computer would freak me out because of how silent it is (which is why there's high temps, but my cpu never goes about 50C)

Yeah, especially overclocked

>i3
what the fuck

My system

Do you only play indies and some emulators?

still time to kys my dude.

Please tell me you faggots at least use your i7 for work related programs otherwise you are massive cucks with those pathetic gpus.

Uh, at the time the 970 was a top tier gpu and matched the 4770K perfectly. It still does, both are just fine still.

And yes I do photoshop and other things like compiling and rendering.
But games like Witcher 3 and GTA V take full advantage of an i7, so even just for gaming it's not a waste.

What the fuck are you smoking retard? Pure Nvidia cocksucking fanboyism to ever think 970 was a top tier card.

It was the biggest selling card at the time, and people were raving about the performance when it came out.

Even after the 3.5 memes came out, which changed literally nothing about the cards performance.
I'm sure you're too young to remember this newfag.

Not sure how the RX 480 is "pathetic" considering it's price point, but I will admit that it's absolute overkill and the only reason I bought it rather than the i5 was because an ebay vendor was selling it for about $290 so I took a risk and it went well. The i7 is also the only reason I'm capable of emulating Zelda BOTW which was a partial to my intentions with this computer.

I do intend to eventually use it for graphic design as well considering my career path requires the skill.

Speccy thread?

yes

>mfw I only play emulated PS2 games

...

Second monitor is turned off. CPU is clocked @ 4.5ghz.

Yes but don't get that monitor. It's terrible and so is the flickering that comes with it.

Buy a Viewsonic XG2401 instead. It's PWM.

>using some of my student loan
I'm not sure if I'd be happy about doing that.
