New setup

[X Shadow]

Got a new setup last week, in total it costed me $1552 USD

MONITOR: BenQ ZOWIE 24" LED XL2411, 144Hz, 1ms
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-7600 Kaby Lake Processor @ 3.8GHz, 6MB cache Quadcore
GRAPHIC CARD: Asus GeForce GTX 1060 DUAL @ 6GB
RAM: 2x Corsair 8GB DDR4-2400 Vengeance LPX RAM
MOTHERBOARD: Asus B250M-A Prime
POWER SUPPLY: Corsair VS550 550W
HHD: Samsung 850EVO 250GB SSD M.2
OS: WINDOWS 10 PRO 64-BIT
CASE: Vision OC-series Gaming, and I added 2 extra 120mm fans in the case
MOUSE & MOUSEPAD: Steelseries Rival 300 Optical/Steelseries QcK
KEYBOARD: Asus Ceberus Gaming Keyboard

Should I get additional space with 1TB HDD or an extra 250GB SSD?

I would probably go with the 1TB HDD since it's helpful for that large space and since u already have an SSD it's good

 

[BestGoldMarket]

It's an alright setup, not diggin the monitor tho

I currently have my OS system + games installed on the SSD. So I guess 1TB HDD would help with the other stuff.

The is pretty much the set up I and a lot of people have. Can't go wrong have your OS + whatever else you want on the SSD then the HDD for all your storage - movies, etc.

I'm an SSD purist so I suggest that route personally, more reliable and game loading times make it more than worth it

Should post some pics when you get a chance

Don't mind the cables, it was a picture when it was setup on the desk. Looks more clean and better now.

Don't mean to be that guy. But I got better specs in every category and paid less than you by a good margin. :/

It's a cool PC for damn sure. But you overpaid.

I live in Denmark, hence why the price difference. Exact same graphics card costs $262 over Newegg in The US, meanwhile it costs $345.03 in Denmark.

Here is a price comparison with a Asus GTX ROG Strix 1070

Newegg at $439

Denmark at $565.35

Well isn't that shit. Lol.

Sorry to hear that man. Maybe next time have someone build it here in the US for you haha.

Get an SSD-PCI slot hard drive man.

Yeah it kinda sucks, and were not available to import from other countries or buy from Newegg, because Denmark has very strict laws, so you'll end up paying the same price again.

I don't know what that is and how it would be better to have. Care to explain? I'm not an PC expert.

It's an SSD but instead of using SATA to connect to the motherboard, it uses PCI slot which allows for up to 4x faster speed.

Oh, makes more sense now thanks. Any links to some of those and are they hard to install themselves?

It's the same difficulty as installing a graphics card.
WD Black 256GB Performance SSD - M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 8Gb/s up to 4 Lanes NVMe Solid State Drive - WDS256G1X0C - Newegg.com

That would be a good starting point because I'm not sure of your budget. This one's read speed is quadruple of your ssd as well as the write speed nearly double.

The money isn't a problem. However is it a good idea to get another SSD or should I get a HDD? I currently have 55GB left on my SSD, after all games were installed.

EDIT:

I actually believe my current SSD is a PCIe, if I understand it correctly.

This is how my current SSD looks like, and it's installed right above the graphics card.

Nice man, I would check and see if you have 1 more PCI slot available and get another put in (512GB-1TB). At that point, you may even be able to have them run in RAID (requires 2 ssds), which super boosts read/write speeds even further!

So another SSD instead of 1TB HDD?

Yeah, as long as cost isn't an issue my man.

Should it be another 250 GB SSD then, where I can store the other shit, since I already got the games needed on the other one.
