One of the more impressive builds of the week, not your typical purely gaming oriented choices. Instead, a gaming PC for the man who wants a killer gaming PC and a serious workhorse. Check out the pictures.
Inside this beast you’ll find:
MSI’s MPG Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon with Intel’s i9 9900K, cooled by the massive Noctua NH-D15S to allow for G.Skill’s always amazing RGB RAM
Samsung’s 1TB 970 Pro M.2 NVMe SSD. 2x Western Digital Black 6TB – the best of both worlds with unrivalled speed and ample space
Finally, the Asus RTX 2080 Ti STRIX OC Gaming 11GB
Hats off to our customer for giving us the pleasure of building this machine.
It’s not often our techs will set RGB components to a certain colour instead of the default RGB cycling mode. But they definitely did the right thing for this build. Check out the pictures to judge for yourself.

Configure your own gaming PC just the way you want it. Go on, treat yourself, because you’re worth it.
AMD’s Radeon Vega VII (or Vega 7) was released about a month ago, with unconfirmed benchmarks quick to follow. Though unconfirmed (due to major stock shortages) the benchmarks all conclude the same performance figures. In terms of pricing, the Vega 7 blows punches with Nvidia’s RTX 2080 with FPS in 1440p and 4K gaming. See below.
RTX is either slightly ahead, or quite a bit ahead in most comparisons, with Vega II ahead in only a few. Considering the Vega is the same price as the RTX 2080, we can’t see any good reason to wait for Vega to be readily available. Not to mention Nvidia’s RTX cards offer DLSS and Ray-Tracing.
Most of you will know about the big online game stores, Steam, Origin, Uplay. Perhaps if you’re into Fortnite, you’ll know of Epic Games.
Even if you don’t care for Fortnite, there are a collection of other great games available on the Epic Games store. Right now, for example, “The Jackbox Party Pack” is free (until Feb 7th). Highly anticipated titles “Metro Exodus” and “The Division 2” which launch this month and next month respectively. As Epic tries to secure their position as one of the top stores, make sure you check with them as they could have exclusive titles, or better pricing than other stores!
Discord (previously well regarded for being the best platform for free voice and text chats between gamers worldwide) also has a respectable offering of games. Be sure to check with them, too, as pricing differs between all stores.
Battle.net is one of the oldest still going. Giving us the Warcraft series, Starcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, Destiny 2, and Call of Duty. Not much of a range, to be sure, but an undeniable collection of highly regarded games.
As annoying as it may be to have different stores to buy different games from, and at different prices, it creates competition, which should help keep the prices nice and affordable for us gamers, rather than one place having a monopoly and charging whatever they want.
On the other hand, if you want to know what games you can expect to play with your next or current Evatech gaming PC… look no further than our games database which is deeply embedded into our PC builder. If you have already bought one of our PCs, simply re-enter the PC ID into our website to pull up your unique PC page (eg). Then scroll down to the games portion of the page, and you’ll see what games and what settings you can achieve.
Let us know if we are missing any titles you want to see in our game database.
Now that you know what you need to play the most anticipated games of Q1, head on over to our PC builder!
Hot on the heels of last week’s highlighted build of the week which showcased how easy it is to configure a visually stunning gaming PC with our online PC builder – here’s this.
RGB matching so well, you’d be excused for thinking they’re brought to you from the same brand. In fact, the graphics card you can see is MSI’s highly sought after RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio while the RAM is Corsair’s Vengeance RGB Pro 3000MHz, totalling 32GB of system memory.
