I can't believe we're actually getting a game where we play as Faye. It's about time they explored more of that lore outside of Kratos' perspective. Are you guys planning on picking this up on launch day?
So, I finally pulled the trigger on this build... though I’m still second-guessing the case choice. It comes with air cooling—maybe an AIO would be a better move if this setup ends up being too bulky? I also swapped in a different CPU cooler... went with a second SSD this time, and the RAM is 2x8GB at 3600 MHz...
wanderingbison9 said:Honestly, picking up a 2070 just doesn't make much sense when you look at the value of the 2060 Super; wouldn't it be a smarter move to $167 take those extra savings and put them toward an X470 motherboard with solid VRMs instead?
And really, why on earth would anyone need a 750W unit? It feels like overkill to suggest that kind of wattage for a single high-end CPU, unless you were planning on running two graphics cards simultaneously...
Can you drop a link to the exact motherboard you mean?
I'll be placing my order around August 12th once the NFL season prep wraps up—so until then, I need to weigh my options... we're looking at roughly $1,800 before tax.
Thanks smartic, that’s exactly what I needed to hear... if something is $100$67 more expensive but significantly better... wouldn't you want to know?
I bumped up the budget a bit since this is coming through the company—so I put together something like this... did I actually make any meaningful upgrades, or is it basically the same as the previous build?

I’m not sure if I mentioned this earlier, but I’ll still be using this PC for Photoshop, Illustrator, and Adobe Animate... I assume that doesn't change the parts swiftfalcon89 already suggested for me?...
A buddy told me it would be better to grab CL16 RAM at 3200MHz—claiming his latency feels better? He also brought up getting a beefier power supply for when I eventually upgrade my CPU and GPU on this motherboard...
Just give me something... this isn't for me... it's for a buddy who's just starting out... he's no pro at this stuff... though he might play a few games here and there.
wanderingbison9 said:High Definition, Ultra High Definition? What about the input and output codecs?
Ultra High Definition—honestly, I haven't a clue what that entails... my buddy is just starting out in this field, and even he's completely lost... basically, I'd suggest he at least gets an SSD for his Windows drive.

I still need to pick up the rest of the PC components—my previous post was a bit of a mess. 🙂 I don't even need a mouse or a keyboard anymore.
Adam Moore3 said:How many PCs are you buying at once, man? Seriously... 🤔
To start off, I need it for Adobe Premiere Pro... though it would be ideal if it could handle other software too... I'll need everything including the monitor and all that.
