#1 RE: Thoughts on my new rig 05-02-2018, 12:05 AM #2 Hope you got liquid cooling for your CPU. GTZ 1070 is good. DDR4 ram correct? Is your 1TB HDD a standard HDD or a SSHD? I have a 525GB SSD which I prefer because if you install your OS on your SSD the space will fill quickly.

RE: Thoughts on my new rig 07-02-2018, 03:27 AM #8 A nice rig indeed, when it comes to building a PC it should be based off of your own preference. If you want 30GB of RAM then go for it dude. You have a good ass rig.

RE: Thoughts on my new rig 07-02-2018, 06:36 PM #10 CPU: i7-8700K - Great
GPU: GTX 1070 - Great
RAM: 32 GB - Overkill
HDD: 1 TB - Great
SSD: 256GB - Great
PSU: TX 950 - Great
The only problem with your rig is the amount of ram. You have too much ram. You only need 8 GB. 16 is the maximum you should have.
