My ASUS MB in my current PC took a dump (bad cap) So I was looking into replacing it, it started with considering a pre-built but with talking with a friend, I went the custom route. Fist it was a VERY modest build with a 7th gen i3 core, but after thought I went semi GZF and ordered the following:
Case : Phanteks Enthoo Luxe (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M5JOEPJ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
PSU : Seasonic X-series 650W (https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-SS-650KM3-X-650-ATX12v-EPS12v/dp/B00W4E0DUM/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1495637836&sr=1-3-fkmr1&keywords=seasonic+650w+80+gold+certified+fully-modular+atx+power+supply) (from my old PC)
MB : ASUS ROG Maximus IX Hero (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NBHXSP6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
RAM : G.SKILL TridentZ RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 4133MHz (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NCV4CY8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Graphics card : ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 8GB ROG STRIX OC Edition (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HDUVJ1I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s04?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
CPU : Intel i7-7700 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0L41N7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
O/S : Win10 Pro 64-bit
DVD drive : LG SATA drive
SSD : Samsung 840 500GB
KB : Corsair Gaming K70 RGB RAPIDFIRE Mechanical Keyboard, Backlit RGB LED (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D8H09TS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
I will have two Seagate Barracuda 500 SATA drives, that I thought about a RAID-0 configuration for 1TB storage, then back it up to my W/D My Book 1TB Drive.
I think I put together a stout PC, tell you what verifying QVL with new stuff is a PITA :MikeB:
