Looking to build a new PC - suggestions welcome


KSpan

Recommended Posts

Been a long while since I built one so any suggestions from folks who have kept up with the tech are welcome. Main uses wil be home office type stuff with some basic graphic design, and while I don't need a monster gaming machine building something that can play games would be a plus. Definitely want to go solid state. Budget is around $1000 or so for just the PC itself (don't need a monitor, speakers, etc.). It will likely have to connect to a corporate network, so I don't think Linux is an option.

Why are you doubling down on the GPUs and SSDs but skimping on the CPU?

No real need for an i7.  Thought about it, but the extra $100 just wasn't needed.

 

This system is primarily for gaming, and will run as a Hackintosh as well.  Hence the extra SSD.

    • For the silly people that worship her it will be that.  The Coleman 'legend' thing, they did that with another fairly average player that was here and I sort of mocked or questioned the 'legend' status. Instantly caught crap for insulting someone's favorite Panther. So okay, Kurt Coleman is a Legend. 
    • You allow him to compete--you all are talking as if I am proposing making him the starter. Give him a new coach, new weapons, good OL, etc. and see what happens. You are saying, "Well Damn.  It did not work for 3 guys..."  Right now, our C is injured, we lost our top 2 WRs.  Better question:  If you need a QB, Why would you not take a chance on bringing in a QB who was a former first rounder, a good arm, intelligence, mobility, youth, etc.  and see how he does out of NY--with a better OL, better running game, better receivers.  I am not saying give him a 10-year contract, I am saying give him a chance. You act like there is no improvement on offense here--it was a 2 year process, and next year is year 2.  To me, how can you sit there with Bryce and an opportunity to sign a veteran QB on the cheap comes available and you say--"Not us. We're good.  We are waiting for Patrick Mahommes."  Jone's problem is obviously mental--and he has little support.  Why is this so frigging hard to comprehend.  It is called "bottom fishing" and it is better than sitting in the boat.  
    • I think we're going to fall from behind quite early and be forced to abandon the run game.  3 rushes -2 yards 1 catch -10 yards
