![]() We’re still finalising our choice of monitor, motherboard, cabinet, and cooling. These drives are meant to be abused over long periods and should be ideal for archiving our game recordings and miscellaneous footage. That’s enough storage for a handful of games and given its specs, we’re not going to be bottlenecked anytime soon.įor backup, we’ll be opting for a couple of 2 TB WD RED NAS drives. Our SSD of choice is the Corsair MP600 in its 1 TB avatar. Do we need a Gen.4 SSD, especially when few motherboards even support the speed? Of course not, but we’re future-proofing here and since Gen.4 is the future, we might as well opt for it. Will we ever use that bandwidth? It’s highly unlikely. □ĥ,000 Mbps read speeds sound ridiculous, and is expensive, but who cares? It's not like we're paying for any of this. Better yet, it’s got some sweet multi-zone RGB for that added bling, and as everyone knows, RGB just makes everything faster. It’s clocked at 3,000 MHz (CL15), which means it’s very fast, and overclockable, if we go that route. RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 2x8 GB kitįor RAM, we’ve gone with Corsair’s Vengeance RGB Pro kit. The bundled kit includes all the accessories you could ever need, and if, for some reason, we decide to pack in two GPUs, there’ll be power to spare. The fact that it’s a modular PSU also means that we get a great deal of flexibility when it comes to cable management. The 10-year warranty means it’s going to last you a lifetime. ![]() It also offers a low-nose fan mode which should help keep noise levels low when streaming and recording games. The AX850 is a powerful 80 PLUS Titanium certified 850 W PSU, which means its powerful, but also very efficient. This 80 PLUS Titanium certified PSU is very powerful, and more importantly, modular.Ĭorsair was kind enough to offer us their AX850, and we were very happy to accept the offering. Given that we’re going for top-of-the-line hardware, a top-of-the-line PSU is what we need. If you’ve ever play Control or Metro Exodus with RTX enabled, you’ll never want to go back to regular rendering. Essentially, the RTX cards and new 16xx series GTX cards support NvEnc, a hardware codec that transcodes video at blistering speeds with minimal performance impact when gaming.Īgain, it’s not that AMD’s 5700XT and the like are bad cards, it’s just that they’re missing critical features like DXR (ray-tracing), and it simply makes no sense to opt for those cards when there is a more feature-packed option for gaming. The Nvidia-specific NvEnc hardware codec is also a lifesaver here and in our testing, we’ve found it to be 2–3 times faster than the competition for encoding video to H.265. We intend to be gaming and streaming at 1440p 120 Hz, so a powerful GPU is a must. ![]() For us, that translates to either the RTX 2080 or the 2080 Ti. Yes, RTX is overpriced and there are barely any games that support ray-tracing, but we won’t be paying for our GPU and when money isn’t a factor, we would very much like to opt for the very best, most feature packed GPU we can lay on our hands on. By default, a single core on the 9900k can boost up to 5 GHz,
