Another...What would be a good rig for 1440p/60 and VR?

Wait on the New Ryzen's coming around July.impressive, I am about to build another one.
No idea what you just said, but sounds hot.Just out of a whim I'm updating my computer. I'm going from a i7 4790k to a ryzen 3800x. New motherboard and 16 GB of DDR 4 ram. Still rocking the rtx 2080.
Well, I've finally got around to having a new rig built! My eight year old PC is finally being put out to pasture.
Going with a 2080 Super, 32gigs of Ram, a 512GB SSD and 3 TB hard drive. Going with the Ryzen 3900x too, for the multi-threading.
Pretty excited, and the guy building it is the owner of xgamepc, so he should be pretty good.
It's out of San Antonio. My brother's wife is streamer and he built her rig originally. Then he built my brothers. After talking with him he really seemed to know his stuff. He recommended the Ryzen over the i9 because I wanted it for development tooNever heard of xgamepc. Local builder?
SO ... I've finally got the thing up and running (though I'm having a time getting my old Steam account back up).
I feel like a damn tech glutton right now, lol.
Since my monitors are "only" 1920 x 1200, I'm ultra-ing everything at 60fps- with ratraycing if it's available. I've gotta say, I may be playing me some Minecraft. It's kinda mind-blowing. Picked up the Witcher 3 just to see it with every up to 11 (including hairworks!). The resolution seems to be super sharp too. Not sure why I'd even need 4k on my PC. I'm on cloud frikkin' nine from a gaming perspective.
Thanks man! My internet provider is getting serious workout right now, lol...Nice rig! Enjoy!
That'll do, donkey. /ShrekWell I decided to upgrade just about everything....I have shelved the watercooling this time around. RIP watercooling.
Thanks man! My internet provider is getting serious workout right now, lol...
Got my Steam account back as well, so I'll be replaying some games like Skyrim and Battlefield 3. Looks like I'll be in the MOD rabbit hole again!
I wonder who that guy was at TXB who would berate me for saying that building a PC was too difficult and that I liked having a console UI and playing with a controller. It's not as plug and play as they made it out to be, especially when you are trying to stick to a budget. However, I don't think I would still be playing games at all if I didn't make the switch to PC. It really does fit my lifestyle now much better than consoles.
I think probably one of the key issues I've had on PC is this consistent stutter or hitching that got progressively better as I upgraded the hardware. First I went from a i5-6400 to a Ryzen 1600 AF then I went from 2133mhz ram to 3000mhz ram. So the hitching and stuttering was less frequent at that point, but still noticeable. So I decided to do a little experiment and unload the XMP profile for the 3000mhz ram and run it alongside my 2133mhz ram for a total of 32gb of ram.
And the hitching FINALLY went away. So I have another 16GB of 3000mhz ram on the way.
Don't believe people telling you you don't need 32gb of ram for gaming. If your games are playing fine then 16gb are enough, but if you are experiencing hitching and stuttering then you might want to look at getting an additional 16gb before the price hike on ram.
Final Fantasy 15 on the PC is what finally made me move from 16GB of ram to 32. That game ate through memory.
If you want that I mean, Steam has Big picture mode which is meant for playing on TV's with controllers and you can literally use Xbox One, PS4, or pretty much any other controller out there.....those haven't been valid excuses for a very, very long time.
It's funny you would say that. People always bring up Steam big picture mode like it's really a substitute for a console UI. I definitely believed it when I made the jump. It's shallow and barebones. It's not terribly unstable like playnite, but if a console UI was this unstable there would be hell to pay.
That being said, I used it for a long while, but between the Epic Launcher and Xbox Game Pass I have abandoned it over the past year or so. It's just too many games to transfer over to big picture mode one by one. Lol, and I was hell-beant against the Epic Launcher too, but I just bought The Division 2 for like $2.99.
Those sales are ridiculous.
Next gen you will most definitely need 32 with these consoles having 16(or more)
