Hello all, You guys helped me with choosing parts for my custom build a few years back, and I was hoping for some advice on which components to upgrade/expand on, if any. This is a PC I want to keep "current" for as long as I can, and with it coming up on about 3 years old, now, I was wondering if anything needed to be changed in order to do that. Currently, it can handle basically everything I throw at it; fully modded Skyrim and Dragon Age: Inquisition with ENBs run at max settings without any hiccups, and I want to keep it that way as new titles come out in the near future (IE: DA4 and TES6, whenever the devs decide to publish them). I'm not interested in having the absolute best of everything, though, and I don't have to have the latest and greatest of components the minute they come out. So here's what I've got: Case: Phanteks PH-EC416PSTG Eclipse P400S Silent Edition with Tempered GlassMotherboard: ASUS Prime Z370-PPSU: EVGA Supernova 650 G3, 80 Plus Gold 650WCPU: Intel i5-8400 @ 2.80GHzSSD: Samsung 970 EVO 500GBRAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHzGPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Monitor: DELL S2340M 1920x1080p, 23"I have a few slots open on my motherboard, still, namely two more RAM slots and another for a second SSD. I've also been looking into better monitors, but I can't seem to find any that aren't horrendously overpriced and/or have reviews that make me think twice about getting one. Any recommendations are welcome and appreciated! :smile:

Hi Guys! I'm About To Build My Own Gaming PC And Before I Buy All The Parts I would like to know if my choices are good for Hardware. Could You Guys Also Tell Me How Some Games Would Run? Fallout 4 (Modded) DOOM Overwatch Skyrim (Heavily Modded) CPU: Intel i7 @4.0GHz Expensive or: Intel i3 @3.7GHz Cheap GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 950 With: Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VIII Hero RAM: 4 GSkill Ripjaws 4 Series All Add Up To 32GB of RAM Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA g2 80PLUS gold Disc Drive:LG UH12NS30 Blu-Ray Drive I'm Not Sure On What Cooler (NOT Liquid)Or What Coolant Mixture To Use So If You Guys Could Recommend One Then That Will Be Really Apreciated! Anything I Missed Out? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

So I built a new system in December (Specs attached). It works well on so many things but I have been having an issue when I play skyrim and fallout4 where after playing perfectly for 1-2 hours it will stutter to the point of being unplayable. The only way to resolve the issue at that point is to restart the entire computer. I have completed removed the Nvidia drivers with the clean removal tool and reinstalled the latest drivers, I have adjusted Vsyncs to the best of my ability, I even updated my xbox one controller from tips from another post hoping for a resolution. I originally thought I might be having issues with the dx9 limitations, but fallout4 is having the same problems. I also have some of the same with The Division. I can play GTAV all day long with no issues. I am really at a loss here. PC Specs: Intel Core i5-6600K Maximus VIII Hero Nvidia 980 Ti Kraken x61 G.
