Sporting Ryzen’s 2nd generation of CPU and motherboard, this customer went for the top of the range Ryzen 7 2800X which is an 8-core 4.3GHz, cooled by a 240mm (2x 120mm) liquid cooler! The graphics card in question is Nvidia’s more than adequate GTX 1070 TI.
This build sure looks impressive, and has quite a bit of performance punch to back it up. We’re sure our NSW based customer will be very happy with the performance and looks of the system.
Onto the pictures!
This customer’s order surprised us a little – weighing in at a little over $14,000 in total (includes 3x 34″ 3440×1440 G-Sync 144Hz monitors, a keyboard, and a mouse) with the PC costing over $9,000 by itself.
With the last many months bringing very noticeable price rises to PC hardware, creating hard hitting stock shortages, everyone in the industry has experienced a lower amount of orders than typical for the time of year, but with news that there’s no true end in sight, and rumours of continued price rises for the rest of 2018, this customer’s purchase made a lot of sense… No point waiting an entire year to buy your next PC when you can buy it now!
But, I hear you, what kind of specs do you get in a PC for $9k even?! Well, this particular customer didn’t have any questions for us before hand, and put together the following configuration that they ordered (only main components listed):
Asus X299 ROG STRIX X299-E, i7 7820X 8-core 4.3GHz, Corsair H110i, 64GB DDR4, Samsung 500GB 960 Evo M.2, Samsung 1TB 960 Evo M.2, 4TB HDD, 2x Asus GTX 1080 TI ROG STRIX, Blu-Ray writer, 1200W PSU. (more…)
We’re a sucker for the clean builds that NZXT cases deliver, so couldn’t help but take some pics of this NZXT build with a fancy NZXT RGB CPU cooler.
The specs, for those curious:
i5 8600K, 16GB DDR4, GTX 1070 TI
Enjoy the photos!
While it’s not the most expensive PC we’ve ever built, it is just enough to make it the new most expensive PC of this year. Coming in at $11,500 this is sure to make our NSW based customer extremely happy for years to come. No expense was spared when it came to the items that really count when it comes to performance.
It has the best Intel CPU; an i9 18 core at up to 4.4GHz costing just under $3,000 itself, 128GB of DDR4 RAM; the most a consumer grade PC can have right now, a healthy 1TB of SSD storage in the lightening fast M.2 format opposed to the slower SATA, and then not one but two of the best Nvidia gaming graphics cards; GTX 1080 TI OC.
We trust that no matter the task, this PC is more than capable of completing it in the best possible way. But now onto the pictures! We wanted to showcase how RGB lights can really give a build a different look and character to match whatever your mood or environment. Enjoy.
We decided it’s been way too long since our last build log post – and what better way to resume them than with Intel’s relatively new Coffee Lake CPU inside an always impressive InWin Infinity case. Hope you enjoy the pictures!
Z370, Intel 8700K, 16GB DDR4 RGB, 1TB M.2 SSD, GTX 1070 TI, Neon Green PSU extension cables, 700w Gold PSU & more; built for gaming.
PS. Hope you spotted the MSI gaming dragon wearing an MSI snapback…
