Depends on the competition. Mine makes way more noise and weighs way more so I'm definitely winning those categories.

yes.

>7 terabytes of data
um I don't think normies need that much room jesus.
my little brother has a 180gb ssd and has never complained about space.
fuck 2500 i would have done with a better cpu

I bet my 45nm Phenom II would win in a game of conkers.

>i5 & 1070
>that overprice mobo
>that excessive everything
>Kraken for a fucking i5
>$300 case

Worst part is this was just built a few days ago. Pic related is his cheaper PC.

Where did it all go wrong guys?

HORY SHIT, ARE THEY FUCKING RETARDED?

BUILDING A KABY LAKE PC IN COFFEE LAKE LAUNCH MONTH?

Digitalfoundry is so much better than IGN and on top of the game

>this was just built a few days ago

jesus

>RGB

When will this shit stop

>Kabylake
>R5-1600 and i5-8400 exists

7500? Ffs. Anything that is locked is garbage.

And he's got a Z series mobo lmao

>$2500
>i5
wtf why

I get by on about 500-750GB

I'm starting to feel like I could use more but I still have ~350GB free.

I don't generally download movies and my music selection is pretty limited. Vast majority of my space is actually being taken up by pdf's/books and then applications after that.

The only reason I'd use 2+ TB HDD's is for backups.

>people complimenting him

jesus fuck

My Thermalright Macho B is quieter
My PC is quieter in general

What a fucking shitshow, couldn't they at least use a custom 1070?? Which benefit do I get from watercooling when my GPU sounds like a jet engine??

You can easily do better for less.

What the actual fuck is that shit? Did IGN give that guy a budget and the dude went all in on RGB autism putting a single thought into performance?

Like shit, my PC is better than that and only paid just over a grand for it.

Yes. The CPU is a 6600k, and I have a smaller ssd (I'm planning to upgrade), but I have double the RAM, an arguably better case, and I think I have better cooling because mine's liquid

why did they spend all the money on a motherboard and storage and have an i5 and a single 1070 for 2500 dollars
what the fuck

Mine plays games better and was cheaper even back in January

HE DIDN'T WANT IT TO BE TOO POWERFUL LOL

>2 octacore Xeons
>128GB DDR3 ECC
>16x1TB 15K RAID0 array
>dual redundant 900W PSUs
>8 cooling fans
>only $1500
The only thing it has that's better than my build is the 1070.

>CPU i5 3570k at 4.6 ghz on water
>GPU GTX1080ti
>32 GB DDR3
>3x 2TB WD green

>Case is a phanteks enthoo pro
>PSU some 7yo enermax 625W

>LG OLED55C7V tv for lazy gayming
I think it will last until Ryzen 2

Daily reminder that you can't spell ignorant without IGN

yes
except there build is kinda dumb and not very efficient with money: most won't need that much storage or the high tier of a motherboard. much better to jump up a gpu or better cpu

güd except
>16gb master race
and better ssd mayb cpu

>RGB everything
PC master race meme needs to die.

It's probably ~a match. Decent machine, anyhow.

Why would I want to compete? There's no good shit worth playing or upgrading for, and my current setup handles everything fine anyway.

Still happy with a Haswell i5 and GTX 970 Meme Edition

CPU is a bottleneck

Case is a bottleneck

OS is a bottleneck

>i5

I hope this is fake.

>muh le gaymen Sup Forumsidya rig with le gtx 2090ti, i13 petacore, 999999 gb ram do i look like a manchild yet xDDDD
fuck off back to

Recently got given a 6700k and bought a 1080ti. Card is nuts

ONLY POORFAGS THINK HE WASTED HIS MONEY LOL

POORFAGS WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW GREAT IT IS TO BE A RICHFAG AND JUST THROW MONEY AT SOMETHING

POORFAGS ONLY SPENDING $1000 ON THEIR COMPUTER AND GETTING BETTER PERFORMANCE BTFO

>1070
>dream machine
And why the fuck does any normal gamer need a 1TB ssd? And 6TB of HDD space? Are they planning on downloading multiple copies of DOOM?

Seriously who is the mongoloid that put this list together

>1 tb ssd
For what purpose?

>IGN
Literally any of them I bet. They have a hard on for pushing console shit and actively try to shit on PCs with their "humans can't see more than 24fps meme" even though that joke is older than Conroe.

>OS is a bottleneck
That's not what bottleneck means
I think you mean limiter
Bottleneck is when the process behind it becomes backed up due to slowly handling the task at a certain point.
Os means there are tasks it just doesn't handle, not that all the tasks are prevented from performing at max speed.

...

>IGN

>2500 Shekels
>i5
>1070
what? Not getting an i7 I kind of understand but they should have a 1080ti in there

Is this shit for real ? Running on 4790k and SLI 1080s with 4k display, and I wouldn't even consider that being a dream machine.

>$2500
>i5-7600k
>1070

Is this a joke?

Holy fuck these people can't into PC building.

>Dream
I could put together one with a 1080 for less. IGN is a cancerous meme.

top kek

and those fucks bought humble bundle

How is that $2500? Mine is equal or better in every way except not having An HDD, and only cost $2300.

>ssd
>ever

>not putting the money that the ssd would cost you into a better cpu or gpu

cuck

throw away the case and the mobo the cpu and the cooler
buy a ryzen 1600 plus a taichi and a 1080
and you get an even better

I think you meant temperature.

Why are IGN so stupid?

Too much water.

Yours is directly better in every way.

(You)

how the fuck would a cheap 1100$ gamer pc from 2011 win from this?

At the $2500 price range you can have all three.

Holy fuck this is beyond stupid and ignorant.

>7GB
I can't even fill up my fucking NAS, and that has usable 5GB of space.
Oh good luck if that hard drive suddenly fails.

>GB
TB

>tfw I got that exact cpu because I didn't want to spring the extra 40 bucks for the k series but I got an h60 anyway

Holy shit you're right lmao
I guess they can upgrade in the future if they want to? But it's ign, they'll probably throw it out next year and trade up for that shitty scorpio xbone.

It's all sponsored by the manufacturers anyway, one huge advertising video.

...

wew

6600k+rx480+16gb so it's pretty close. Wouldn't call either combination a "dream machine" tho

>only on ryzen does latency not really matter
what, it's proven that it does matter, low latency 2933mhz memory gives ryzen more fps than 3600mhz higher latency

Kinda. i7-6700k cooled with NH-U12S, GA-Z170-HD3P motherboard, 16gb DDR4 RAM (forgot frequency), Sapphire RX480 8gb Nitro+...

So yeah, it can compete. Around 1000 EUR year ago.

>chosing a retardedly expensive mainboard even though it offers no performance gains over a cheap one
looks like those fags just wanted to make it expensive. saged and kys.

>marx
fucking commie needs to be thrown out of a copter
