Triad's PC Builds ($300 - $2000)

[Triad]

what do u think of my build ? would like to know if its balanced enough.

Be Quiet Silent Base 800 Black/Orange
MSI X99A RAIDER USB 3.1
EVGA Supernova T2 850W 80 Plus Titanium Modular
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 3TB SATA3 64MB
Intel Core i7-6850K
Enermax Liqtech 240
Asus DRW-24F1MT DVD 24X
Samsung 950 PRO M.2 SSD 256GB
Sapphire AMD Radeon Pro Duo 8GB HBM
Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 2133 PC4-17000 64GB 4X16GB CL14

Just thinking about upgrading ram to 2400, I will add 64gb more to make it 128gb in some time anyways.

You can run Batman Arkham Knight v1.00 @ 720p Medium 30FPS.

What industry? I wanna keep laughing

128GB seems pretty ok if u going to run a database or something, or even build a cluster of hyper-v ?

Ye i think u need to really explain better with what u work cos 128GB of ram is really a lot, but sure this can be nothing if u say why you need all this amount, like if u are running the database of  all google systems seems pretty ok

@Triad.

Do you think a RAID 0 with 4 SSD discs of 256GB will really run much faster than a RAID 0 with 2 SSD  of 512GB?

To be honest i would never use raid 0 at all. Because if one SSD breaks, all the data is broken. Not sure about speed advantage, i guess it depends on the total bandwidth of the controller.

I know if one disc break all data is lost, but iam just asking about the performance, for the case one disc break, we would use backup.

I would say it's not worth it just for gaming, it's not worth it just for most common computer stuff. But if you run VM's, or edit large files and need to load and save them faster, or do something that requires you to stream a lot of data from the disc, it is worth it. For example, if you're into making music, you better believe it's worth it for working with mega-huge sample libraries. There are virtual pianos with so many round robins, velocity layers, and mic positions that loading them into RAM just becomes kind of silly. 2 striped SSD's is actually the recommended configuration by East West for using their instruments. But even for instruments that you don't stream from the disk, load times are still important if you're trying to audition different instruments for playing the same recorded loop of notes.

For normal use and gaming use though, you just won't notice a difference. Huge difference between HDD and SSD, much less a difference going up to RAID 0. Also boot time might be slower.

Bonus Level 9 was kinda sloppy. Updated it.

[Sensei]

I'm ordering these components tomorrow. If anyone have any advice what should be changed (in same price range), let me know.
This configuration is a bit over 600$.

dude, get atleast a 256 bit Grafhic Card, id go for one one 1gb/256bit than 2gb/128bit

I've read many times that those two components really doesn't matter. 500 mb/64 bit card can be better than both of our choices

But if you have a good explanation why bits matter, I would like to hear it out!?

[Triad]

You can also get a better but second hand gpu for same price. Since new GFX generation came out, people started selling their old hardwares. You can even get used i5.Haswell cpu for same price of that i3. Used parts are good for budget builds.

Nice hirony above little puto xD

I always heard that the bits are like the bandwitch of graphic card, like cars 2.0L 16v and 6.0L 32V the more litres give more potency to the car.

I might be wrong but on www.google.com you can make some research too, bye ae.

Aee Triad, I have a request from my buddies over at Worms Guild... yes, it's a PC xD

- budget is 500 euro
- has to perform somewhat equal or better than MSI GS70 2PC STEALTH
- needs to have a keyboard and a 1080p monitor included, we already have a mouse

[Triad]

500€ is a tight budget for monitor included so had to a little over. But still it's much cheaper than that laptop.
