Khorvis builds a new computer OR Big pile of smelly parts
Posted: Fri Dec 29, 2017 11:57 pm
Once upon a time, Khorvis would upgrade his computer parts on a regular basis, keeping up with the curve, and spending many dollars.
Then came the dark times...
I have not really upgraded my PC in about 6 whole years. It's time to invest!
Here are a few important components that I am looking to purchase over the next week. Please speak up if you think that I am wasting money or time.
CPU: Intel i7-7700K from my old i7-2600
Motherboard: MSI Z270
HDD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB solid state drive from my old physical disc
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB from my 8GB of whatever
I'm not entirely sure about the RAM. It seems a little pricey, but I don't want to skimp. I have an Nvidia GTX 1060 for a video card, so that is fine for now.
