general

thats the first thing you need to pick

I mean we don't know much about motherboards so if you know a good one

i7 is great, 16GB ram is great, getting an SSHD is propably better than an SSD

i7 isn't a cpu

its a brand thing

i picked up a 4TB one for $150

he doesn't need more than 1 tb probably

i've filled up a 1TB

I am not you

he is at 350 gb

I have 2 and change tb filled

I have 5tb

but thats only because VR porn is massive

also VR porn games are way better than the videos btw

the videos are pretty shit

lmao

i never realized storage was such a big deal for people

i don't have liquid cooling, i just use like 8 fans

I have like 7 total TB

I am with you fire

i too agree with fire

I mean thats what I am saying

I literally have never used more than 400gb in my life

of storage

he could just get a 500gb ssd

and if he needs it he could hire someone who is competant to put in a 2tb hd

in 3 years

its not difficult at all though

I haven't ever had a problem with storage but i know shit takes up way more space now adays

don't need to pay someone to plug in 2 wires

thats what i said

what video card are you looking at?

1080 or 1080 Ti

thats twice as powerful as my 2 year old one

yeah so i figure it will last a long time unless it breaks

considering the 1080ti is 200 bucks more expensive on this site

not the ti

for sure

Ti is overkill

mine works fine for max graphics on most games i play

1080 is high end of what is reasonable

yeah but this needs to last with max graphics for the next 4 years

I never said max

1080s are what i use in my research

I just needs to last for 4 years

oh well then you can probably get away with a 1000 dollar computer then

thats probably fine

I don't think it has Wifi

so add 20 dollars for the 100ft ethernet cable

100ft is pretty long

50 is usually fine

I also have no idea how I would run that cable anywhere

where would I have to plug it into

One into the computer

Router

the other into the router

Or extender in my case

router is a floor up on the opposite side of my house

oh thats fun

Alright so 100 ft

get the 100ft one then

why do you think I get shit wifi

I went from directly to the router to directly to the extender and somehow my speed is higher

thats probably because you were competing with fewer connections

is there no way to also get wifi

a usb adapter

Oh ,I see

I understand

just googled that

Wifi is the same price as the cable and shittier to use

easier to use though

its also wireless

The cable is better though cause you're more guaranteed a connection

i can add a wireless card to it

I have no way to fucking run a 100ft cable throughout my house

It's a desktop, wires are fine
