Looking to build a new PC - suggestions welcome


KSpan

Recommended Posts

Been a long while since I built one so any suggestions from folks who have kept up with the tech are welcome. Main uses wil be home office type stuff with some basic graphic design, and while I don't need a monster gaming machine building something that can play games would be a plus. Definitely want to go solid state. Budget is around $1000 or so for just the PC itself (don't need a monitor, speakers, etc.). It will likely have to connect to a corporate network, so I don't think Linux is an option.

Why are you doubling down on the GPUs and SSDs but skimping on the CPU?

No real need for an i7.  Thought about it, but the extra $100 just wasn't needed.

 

This system is primarily for gaming, and will run as a Hackintosh as well.  Hence the extra SSD.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
