New Gaming Rig Question

[smurfopax]

??? Upgrade to what? Windows 10 Feature Updates will work without big issues and when you ask Microsoft Win 10 was their last Windows, the rest will be Feature Updates. That you really need to reinstall Windows 10 something really awful needs to happen.
It was absolutly different before Windows 10 but i really can't see why you should do it nowadays. We do this with our Gaming Rigs in the Office for nearlly 4 years or 2 generations now, and didn't look back once. I really can't even remember when i needed to reinstall the last Gaming Rig outside of a exhibition. Same for our Office Machines but there we have much more, so we have more faulty disks etc.. I think i really needed to reinstall (besides faulty hardware) max. 10 machines since we did our Win 10 Rollout. And we have hundreds of Office Machines.

Sorry i can't see your point as valid when i look at my experience with Win 10.

If you mean upgrading hardware, it's even less of an issue. Transplating one SSD to a new System was never easier. As long as you have Internet Windows 10 just starts working in your new enviroment without issues. Win 10 doesn't even care if you had Nvidia/Amd or Intel/AMD before the system change.
Only OEM licenses and hardware encryption makes problems with that, if you have a full WIn 10 license you can change Hardware as you want and your Win 10 won't break. When you don't have a hardware encrypted drive you don't even need to check if you encryption hardware is compatible.

Really awful things do happen, and while Microsoft currently seem to think Win 10 is the last OS you'll ever need, they have changed their minds before.

Anyway, it is just a suggestion; people can (and will, and should) do as they see fit.

Should work well, as has been mentioned before install it on your SSD. It's not that big by modern game standards. And the loading speed, while still not quick, is massively improved.

 

[Shrike33]

do you think i would be better looking at a different system? any advice is welcome

A 2060rtx will obviously increase the price... Check out Amazon you'll find something for around 1000gbp...The performance is insane.. I suspect MW5 will be GPU intensive more than processor intensive.

I upgraded my 250gb Samsung pro ssd a while back to a 500gb. I found the 250 a tight squeeze as I prefer Not to move stuff like the documents folder, ect off the C drive for "reasons".
If you do not mind moving the user folder, or keep it's contents from ballooning the smaller drives are just fine.

As for general storage I also have two separate Samsung pro ssd 1tb drives, one for my Gog library and one for Steam, ect

I'll probably do an nvme for the OS on my next system. But the separate 1tb drives are still a given.

One bit of advice.
Do your homework on your motherboard.
It's the component people often unexaminedly skimp on, but it's also the component that people have fail when they don't do their research.
And it's the component that most often determines future upgrade path, or lack thereof due to feature support like nvme, ram version and speed, and socket compatibility amongst other things.

Likewise everything else in the build relies on your psu too. Do your homework with it.

Thank you for the tip I'm going to shop around see what deals i can get. The psu i was recommended is 700wtt

Three-monitor setup is probably overkill, and will hurt the performance of your rig. I've got a single 24" screen, and it's more than enough for everything I do. Maybe something to look at in the future, but for a first build I'd recommend focusing on one monitor.

Also, if you're looking at Nvidia graphics cards, don't bother with a ti model unless you're: planning on overclocking, and pairing it with a motherboard and PSU/cooling unit that can handle overclocking. Might save you a bit of money.

I don't over clock at all and have no plan to i will keep looking thank you for your advice

32gb for 800gbp i think this could be the one

i 7 cpu 2700
32 gb
480gb ssd + 2 tb sata
6gb GTX 1060

I’m guessing you meant an i7 7700, as the 2700 is a few years old now. If so, that it roughly my current computer (which I’m quite happy with).

The big difference would be SSD size, but you can always add another SSD to hold more games later if you find you want the space and can afford it,

No, that system is advertised as using an i7-2600. Quite outdated, though decent for it's time.

One of the great things about PC gaming is that, when your system starts to fall behind the hardware curve, you can make a few key upgrades to your system that are much less expensive then buying a whole new unit outright.

This unit uses a Micro-ATX Tower, which will make upgrading parts in the future difficult; a micro case means that you're going to be very limited with regards to your hardware, and possible hardware configurations, when you need to start upgrading pieces. On that basis alone I would recommend against it. Getting a pre-built system with a mid-size tower now will save you headaches (and money) down the line.

I'd recommend something more along the lines of this: [mod edit: no unapproved links]
Doesn't come with any peripherals, or OS, but that's a very well put-together mid-price gaming rig.

Right, something like the "Sedatech Expert Gaming PC AMD Ryzen 3 2200G 4x 3.5Ghz, Radeon RX 580 8Gb, 16 Gb RAM DDR4, 480 Gb SSD, 2 Tb HDD". Put that in the UK Amazon search bar and you should find it.

You could checkout the PC Masterrace channel on Reddit, they have great value builds when you want to assemble your own PC. It's preferable over just buying a pre-assembled PC.

the way its looking i am going to be building my own that way i can get the rig i want at the spec i want deff going to be checking out the PC builder reddit for ideas

One virtue of building your own (or having one custom built by a local computer store) is that you can use low noise components if you want. I did that on my most recent computer and my office is much quieter now.

In case it is useful, I used a Nanoxia case and fans, an MSI Gaming series video card (they were reviewed as relatively quiet, and I agree), and a quiet power supply (many will now not use their fan unless under heavy load).

That is exactly what I'm using right now, and have been for the last couple years. My only suggestion would be to get a 7700K that you can overclock to squeeze some more frames out of MWO/MW5. I'm currently considering a new video card, but that is because I was finally able to upgrade to a GSYNC monitor at higher resolution, and didn't think that it would tax my video card more. 2560x1440 is definitely a step up from 1920x1200, but the lower frames made me a sad panda!

A Great build for $1000 US would be as follows:

Ryzen 5 3600 $200, or you can substitute a Ryzen 5 2600 for about 13% less performance for $150

MSI B450M PRO-M2 V2 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($75)- a B450 motherboard will allow you to use AMD's StoreMI software, which combines all your drives into one virtual drive and uses the fastest storage (including your extra RAM) to store the most often used files. It can drop load times significantly in games. But look for a motherboard that says Ryzen 3000 compatible.

16GB DDR4-3200 MHz Ram, (2x8GB) for dual channel memory mode ($70-80)

500GB SSD - should be around $50-65 for an nVME SSD, just make sure the motherboard you buy has an nVME slot, the above board does.

Do put your old Hard Drives into the new computer for bulk storage, but keep your favorite games on the SSD (unless you use StoreMI).

Video Card - Tough choice here but I personally would go with the Radeon 5700 ($330-350) or the 5700XT ($400), best cost per frame out there but $400, a big part of your budget. If you have to go NVidia then your stuck with the 2060 ($300-350) or 2060 Super ($400) for around the same price.

Can you reuse your current case? that'll chop off $50-75. If not go for one that already has several fans included, otherwise you'll have to buy those separately for around $10 each.

Power supply - go for 650Watts 80+Gold efficiency rating should be between $70-$80

If you need a windows 10 key they sell for about $30 with a guarantee at Kinguin.com

That will set you back about $980 with tax and or shipping. Less if you're near a Micro Center store.

I love piecing together builds so please feel free to ask any questions.

thanks for your help in this
My currant system is running win 7 been hearing alot of horror stories concerning win 10 not sure if i will up grade to win 10 or stick with win 7

@SpenReyn I'm going up to my local pc store this weekend i will check out the parts you have recommended
I have had this case for a while i'm planning on getting a new case Aerocool tor mid tower
