Hey folks, now that the 8th gens are out, I figure is (finally) the time for me to upgrade. Currently still on my summer 2009 build where I got the first 920 i7. I've upgraded the machine to have more ram and better GPUs over time, but I think I've hit the limit on this CPU. Here's what I've spec'd out: CPU: Intel - Core i5-8600K 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor ($258.00 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: Noctua - NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler ($88.88 @ OutletPC) Motherboard: Asus - ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($199.99 @ SuperBiiz) Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($159.89 @ OutletPC) Storage: Samsung - 960 EVO 500GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($233.88 @ OutletPC) Case: Antec - Three Hundred Two ATX Mid Tower Case ($59.99 @ SuperBiiz) Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($74.98 @ Newegg) Optical Drive: Asus - DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer ($16.49 @ OutletPC) Total: $1092.10 I'm going to bring over my GTX 970 TI for the GPU to start and have a bunch of older 500mb disks for additional storage. What do we think? I don't think I need the i7, especially with the upgrade of the i5 to 6 cores. I mostly play games and edit some photos lightly in Lightroom.

Looking to replace my 10 year old i7 920 build that I re purposed two years ago to be a Plex server. I could go the route of being in a NAS, but I like building things. Here's where I'm at: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: Intel Core i3-9100F 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor ($86.89 @ B&H) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L9i chromax.black 33.84 CFM CPU Cooler ($49.95 @ Amazon) Motherboard: ASRock Z390M-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard ($134.99 @ Amazon) Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($76.25 @ Amazon) Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($89.99 @ Amazon) Case: Fractal Design Node 304 Mini ITX Tower Case ($79.98 @ Amazon) Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA GM 450 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular SFX Power Supply ($79.98 @ Amazon) External Storage: Western Digital ELEMENTS 8 TB External Hard Drive ($124.99 @ Amazon) External Storage: Western Digital ELEMENTS 8 TB External Hard Drive ($124.99 @ Amazon) Total: $848.01 Some notes: - I'll be shucking the external HDDs to bring them internal - might even get a third to run Raid 5 and/or bump them up to 10tb or 12tb. Either way, I don't need a HUGE amount of storage. - I have a leftover EVGA 1050 TI SSC from my old build that I'll be throwing in this case to do GPU hardware encoding (hence the 9100F - no integrated graphic). - I could probably go with slower RAM or a CPU but I'm not looking to cut costs extensively. - This plex streams mostly locally for myself, my wife and then remotely for just my close family. This won't have to handled dozens of concurrent streams or anything. What do we think?
