#2426 PC Build Thread in Hardware
Setsul

Right so before I can discuss upgrades I remembered I live in Denmark and there's a 25% VAT on everything (for example, the CPU costs 3648 DKK = £439). The current build is up from £1440 to £1800 with this applied so it makes any upgrades pushing it, since even the £200 to upgrade to a Ti would push it over £2000. I am able to get 20% off any purchase in Denmark over 1500 DKK (£180), so when it gets to sourcing parts in Denmark it would obviously be better to source as many parts as possible from one site/location
In this case, if I were to buy the CPU from one site on it's own, I'd get 20% off that CPU, in this case reducing it to 2919 DKK £351. Various parts under 1500 DKK would not receive a 20% discount. If I were to buy the CPU + various other parts together, I'd be getting a better deal as the 20% off applies to the entire purchase.
So ultimately my ability to go for better parts is decided by where I can buy the parts in Denmark. I'll have a look at this (obviously I'd appreciate help since I'm sure you know more about where to buy, probably even in Denmark) to see if there is room to upgrade.

SetsulWell there is no way to predict which GPU you'd need to get the performance you want (60fps/1080p/max, right?) in those games.
Since this is basically a guessing game I'll just give you multiple options and let you decide, then make the detailed partlist with danish prices.

Baseline:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 1800X 3.6GHz 8-Core Processor (£388.00 @ Aria PC)
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG - H7 49.0 CFM CPU Cooler (£47.52 @ Amazon UK)
Motherboard: ASRock - AB350M Pro4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (£74.24 @ CCL Computers)
Memory: Team - T-Force / Night Hawk 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (£124.58 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£84.74 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£82.97 @ CCL Computers)
Video Card: Inno3D - GeForce GTX 1080 8GB iChill X3 Video Card (£499.99 @ Overclockers.co.uk)
Case: Phanteks - Enthoo Pro M ATX Mid Tower Case (£59.99 @ Overclockers.co.uk)
Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 (EU) 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (£78.44 @ Novatech)
Total: £1440.47
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

1080 Ti would be about 20% faster, +200£.
An i7-7820X (+ different mobo) would be about 20% faster than the 1800X in Premiere, 10% in After Effects, 0-20% in games, depending on how much you're limited by the CPU. Cost +300£.
i7-7900X 25% Premiere, ~0% After Effects (lower baseclock than 7820X), 0-20% in games. Cost +650£. All still compared to the 1800X.
No idea about FL Studio.
If you want 12 or 16 cores you'll have to wait until August.

When you say the 1080 Ti is 20% faster, I'm assuming that's 20% in every aspect? If that's the case then that's probably the most cost effective way to upgrade performance, otherwise the i7-7820X seems like a better option (assuming you included the cost of a different mobo in that £300). On that note though, is not overclocking an issue i.e if I were comfortable with overclocking then would I get more/better of a CPU for the money?
12-16 cores, if they are more powerful at a similar price point (again, assuming this is why you bring it up), is it worth waiting in your opinion?

SetsulEDIT: Had a quick look at it just now.
Forgot to ask overclocking yes/no?
Also neither Wolfenstein 2 nor Metro: Exodus are out yet, so I can't use them as benchmarks.

I've never overclocked before so if it's not a totally necessary then no.
I'm aware of that but they are pretty much what I'd be using it for in terms of games aside from TF2; just better looking, triple A titles, whatever you want to refer to new releases as.

Micro ATX it is then.
Not looking up Danish prices because I'm lazy. It's roughtly 50$ for 1TB, 65$ for 2TB, 80$ for 3TB and 110$ for 4TB. Lowest $/GB is still 3TB.
What about the SSD? If it's just for the OS (you really should get one at least for that) you don't need much, if you want all programs/games on it you need more and if you want to render onto it then I'd get two or a large one.

I'll probably start with the list tonight.

Fair enough, pretty unreasonable for me to ask for price comparison on top of parts. 3TB sounds good, as for SSDs it's similar to most other aspects, if it doesn't impact price too much then a larger one would be good. Thanks : )

SetsulYes, now the question is do you want a full ATX case or smaller/larger?
For the SSD and HDD size as in capacity.

Ok, now I've got something to work with for games, "the faster the better" always applies to rendering so I'm not quite sure about the balance between more expensive and faster yet.

A smaller case is ideal, but if it means the build costs too much/impairs it, then I'm not too fussed on size.
The HDD I had was 2TB so I'd be open to upgrading to 4TB or more, not too sure of how price changes but if it's not too drastic then more storage is always better.

As for rendering, there's not much more I can say to help you help me on that other than so long as it's under the budget I'm sure it'll be a major improvement from what I had, so anything that improves rendering and processing works for me.

I guess Denmark then. 12k-17k DKK?
Now for some more details.
Standard mATX, smaller/larger?
SSD and HDD should be a given, size for each?
Rough guideline for the performance in games and for rendering? You can get 10 cores (16 if you're willing to wait until August) or a 1080 Ti, but not both at the same time and you probably wouldn't complain if a pc for less than 1500 GBP gets you the performance you want.

I don't think the size should matter for either since I'd rather just overhaul everything and buy an appropriate case. But if I'm wrong, the HDD is 3.5", the motherboard is ATX.
At least ~300fps in TF2/CS using low quality configs (config personal preference only though), and stable 60 with ideally max graphics in newer titles. As for rendering sort of things it's music and video production, so the faster the better really. As long as it can run software without any hitches and a relatively fast rendering speed then I'm happy.
Also paying under 1500 is good but I would like to be able to use this PC for a while without needing upgrades, so I'm not opposed to spending more than I'd need at this time to ensure that in 3-4 years time it can still keep up to an extent.

SetsulDoes that mean you're going to buy it in Denmark or in the UK? I mean you're living in Denmark but I don't think they accept GBP.

Can buy in either, it would be quicker to buy in Denmark, but I have family visiting from the UK later this month so they can bring it over if it's significantly cheaper compared to Danish prices.

#2409 PC Build Thread in Hardware

Hey, my computer's broken and I've been wanting to buy a new one so I'll take this as a sign. Budget of between £1500-2000, would be used for games (TF2/CS@144hz, as well as newer titles like Wolfenstein 2/Metro: Last Exodus) as well as video/music production (Premiere, After Effects, FL Studios). Already have monitors/peripherals, just need a functioning computer that would hopefully last me a while before needing a costly upgrade. Currently living in Denmark, thanks : )

letting your team down like that is seriously just disgraceful, no excuses for this, its unfair on everyone involved. no doubt he'll be back tomorrow making a post about how sad he is, apologising and saying he loves everyone etc etc.
