Who is into building PC's/Gaming rigs?

I am gonna call BS on this. if it were truly a PC rig there would be references to it in the english press. and you said you read all this in one place and then here said you only understood the pictures.

so far the most expensive rig I have been able to find anything about where they talk about JUST the rig was about 40K

I built my rig a few years ago and spent just about 3 grand on it. nice machine does what I want with room to expand. at that time had I used all front line parts I could have easily spent another grand. it will probably be my last build unless I win the lottery or come into an inheritance from that rich uncle that I haven't met yet

Go ahead dipshit, that's basically being ignorant to the possibilities that some people keep their shit rather private especially if it actually works and no international agencies get interviews and is not for public use unlike the USA's 250k failure that went world wide for being one of the biggest flops ever and no ones mentioned it in here so I guess that doesn't exist either!

you go on with your bad self. your story is full of shit. if he put it in a japanese magazine he had no desire to keep anything private. YOU said you don't read japanese yet you gave details you could not get from pictures, we are talking gaming rigs and PCs built by normal folks not some super rich corporation but you failed to understand that as well. is that shit bolded supposed to be a link? if it was you failed that you ... you are just one big massive fail aren't you?

The rig below is currently sitting at number one on my list. The equipment is top notch, execution is perfect and overall it makes for a great table top display.

Ok got my computer I listed the specs before but I will here just a few upgrades
Upgraded the case for drive bays since I can put a blu ray RW and DVD RW in there, which they are in. Might as well add them since they were in old system.
Upgraded the fans to better fans.
upgraded the MB to GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS ULTRA ATX w/ Intel 802.11ac WiFi, ARGB, USB 3.1, 3 PCIe x16, 3 PCIe x1, 6 SATA3, 3 M.2 SATA/PCIe
upgraded ram to 32GB (8GBx4) DDR4/3200MHz Dual Channel Memory(Corsair Vengeance LPX)
Windows 10 PRO 64 bit
upgraded SSD to 512GB Samsung 860 PRO Series SATA-III 6 Gb/s SSD
upgraded 2nd HD to 4TB (4TBx1) SATA-III
upgraded 3rd HD to 4TB (4TBx1) SATA-III-had at home in old system
upgraded 4th HD to 2TB (4TBx1) SATA-III-had at home in old system
upgraded PS to 1,000 Watts - Corsair RMi Series RM1000i 80 PLUS GOLD
upgraded cooling system to NZXT Kraken X52 240mm RGB CPU Liquid Cooling System w/ Copper Cold Plate
upgraded video card to Asus Turbo GeForce® GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5
Monitor is Asus ROG 348 34 inch curved monitor at 4k and 22 inch HP monitor, I did not feel I needed a better video card I spent to much on the upgrades,
still has the i7-9700K 3.60Mhz
4.5TB of external HD space too
4TB cloud drive
Total of 6 120mm fans on the case that were upgraded to the good fans
here are a few crappy pics but the system is a little monster, got this system cause my 3 year old system the SSD drive went completely out, loaded the OS on the other HD and it was locking up every 2 hours, come to find out the MB was throwing a chipset error which was the intel chipset, so now I have a extra 1000 watt PS 32 gig of memory at 2400 mhz and AC wireless card sitting around just in case I need them, the memory will not be of use since it can not fit in 5 year old desktop but I will change that AMD video card to the 4 gig GTX that I have in old system. Yes I did look at the 04 code on the MB, that is stating it is set to fast boot. No big deal on the forums I read

4 grand is a little high for that build, I just finished a build for my co-worker that was very similar for around 2500. (didnt have full liquid however)

LOL sure beats the soldered heatsink with an input hose leading from a bucket of water and an output hose leading to the same bucket of water and an open case that we used to use back in the day!

Very similar as in what? An i9-9900K and RTX 2080 Ti alone will come in at nearly $2,000. That leaves another $500-700 for the case, motherboard, ram, PSU, cooling solution, etc.

Now it can be argued all day if anyone actually needs the 2080 Ti over something like a 2070/2080, but at this point there is no arguing the 9900K for me as I do a lot of recording and streaming. I'll admit the builder is probably making a decent chunk on that build, but his time and skill is definitely worth something. Not to mention I have no desire to build a custom loop myself and go through the testing process and the risk it entails.

Kiohtee · Feb 16, 2019

The new rig! It's a work in progress for sure, but with an i9-9900K overclocked to 5.1GHz, a GTX 1070 Ti and 16GB of 3200 ram overclocked to a stable 3600, it's a stupid strong foundation to build off. Don't mind the lack of cable management as I'm using a spare (temporary) desk since my wife is taking over the laptop setup.

Kiohtee · Feb 24, 2019

Can anybody shed some real world experience with a RTX 2070?

Cobra(ed) Up · Feb 25, 2019

My current setup, The Desk is 16 feet. I wanted room to draw, work on my RC cars, and have the kids in my space. Currently still in progress. PC's are 970 (6600k-cpu) and a 1080 (8700k-cpu)

Very nice! I'm digging the layout!

You’ve got the same speakers as me - what headphones do you use?

Did you mean to quote me?

Either way, I'm rocking the Corsair VOID PRO RGB headset.

Just finished up replacing my CPU/Motherboard/Memory from my old rig.. haven't updated since around 2012-2013. I used to have an i7-4770K, Asus ROG Maximus VII Hero & 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 1866MHz memory.

New rig consists of i9-9900K, Gigabyte Aorus Master Z390 mobo & 32GB G.Skill TridentZ RGB 3200MHz memory. Still using my 1080Ti GPU as well. I stream every night after work so a few of my buddies can watch me play, and the i9 completely dominates when it comes to gaming performance on a single CPU streaming setup... I'm happy.

If anyone wants a PC Part Picker list to my build - System Builder - Core i9-9900K 3.6 GHz 8-Core, GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11 GB FTW3 GAMING iCX, 760T Black ATX Full Tower - PCPartPicker

@Kiohtee What voltage are you running to be stable at 5.1GHz? I'm at 5GHz with 1.31V but randomly blue screened last night while playing Apex. I pass Realbench 15 min test, can run Cinebench infinite amount of times back to back without issue. BSOD code was a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION.

I feel that 1.31V is still too high of a voltage than I would normally need, unless my chip is a turd, I see a ton of people hitting 5GHz on like 1.27-1.29V with ease.

Kiohtee · Mar 8, 2019

@ 5.1GHz, core voltage was set to 1.325V. Since the additional ram install, I reset everything back to default values. I haven't noticed any difference.

Can you guys give me some help? Hoping to order tomorrow morning.

I bought this cable to data log: SCT Analog Input Cables 9608

I need an extension or a longer cable. There's so many different types of firewire cables. I want an extension or buy a 10'-15' and cut it to size and use one end.

I'm using this to tie into my arm widebands. Then the male in plugs into my xcal 4. Then I can log my widebands. I used the red and orange wires if that matters. I can always ohm it out. I just need to make sure the plug is the same.
