It's been a while since I've built a gaming pc. I've had several ASUS ROG gaming laptops in the past. Just wanted some opinions. I was using PC Gamers recommendations for the "best high end gaming PC" as a reference but may opt for different components. I'm trying to keep it under $2500 (under $3000 with 4k monitor). Looking to build a pc capable of 4k gaming at a decent framerate (preferrably 60fps or >) and VR. May buy an Oculus Rift at some point. Here is the article from PC Gamer I was referencing. I'm just using it as a reference. I may opt for larger capacity SSDs and higher end CPU. How would you rate their recommendations? Should I change anything? http://www.pcgamer.com/pc-build-guide-high-end-gaming-pc/ (CPU) - Intel Core i7-6700k (Motherboard) - ASUS Maxiums VIII Hero (RAM) - G.Skill Ripjaws 4 (32GB) *** I will probably go newer with Ripjaws V *** (Video) - EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW DT Gaming ACX 3.0 (PSU) - EVGA Supernova 850 watt G2 80 Plus Gold (SSD) - Samsung 950 Pro 256GB / for OS volume (I may opt for 512GB) (SSD) - Samsung 850 EVO 1TB / for Data volume (I may opt for 2TB) (CPU Cooler) - Corsair H100i V2 (Case) Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 5 Thanks...

There's a thread for this but wait 1 month for the 1080ti and you have way too many watts unless you plan on SLI'ing later though it is a good unit you picked. I'd opt for 512 NVME as you noted over the 256

Cobra_Commander posted:Thanks. Just copy paste your OP into the megathread for way way way more answers. At 2500 though for a gaming machine, move some numbers around to budget for the 1080ti, such as ram or motherboard choice. You can argue for the i7 as well, but that thread will take care of you
