So I've had my rig for just over 6 years, parts picked myself as a first build then you lovely people on here posted a few different alternatives which I went with and was happy with how it run.
I think it's now coming towards the end of its life, I get random crash's especially when photo shopping with multiple layers. Sometimes when gaming It'll crash / freeze everything but the sound works at normal speed and so does discord.
I was going to replace a few parts but decided to hell with it and start afresh, so this is what I'm looking at - just collecting general thoughts, if something is to little or to much.
I'll be mainly using the system for Graphic designs, research (aka 30 odd tabs of articles open online), gaming - wow, OW, then some Single player like skyrim. Oh I'll also be getting the Ocu Rift with it in a few months time so VR ready as well
Case: PCS Enigma 6003B
Processor: I7 Quad core - I7-7700 (3.6ghz) 8mb
Mobo: Gigabyte AORUS Z270X-Gaming 7
Ram: 4GB Corsair Veng *******
Graphic card: 8GB Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080
Disk: 120gb Kingston SSD
M.2. SSD: 250GB Western Digital Blue
Intel Optane: 32GB Intel Optane Memory (might change this to 16?)
Disk Drive: 16x blue ray writer drive
Internal memory card readers
PSU: Corsair 350W VS Series *******
Cooler : Coolmaster Hyper 212X
Sound: Asus STRIX Soar 7.1 PCIe Card
The ones I've put stars next to are parts I'm getting separate from someone else, I'll be looking at Corsair 2x8gb DDR4 and a 650 or 750 corsair PSU
So general thoughts? I've decided to spend a bit extra this time around to hopefully get a bit more mileage out of it.
Cheers
