thats the idea.
if im building this myself, i want something that i can use and continue using a few years after the guts are outdated.
im liking this case too, but not sure about its functionality:

Get the cheapest case you can find with enough hard drive and expansion bays for your planned setup. -

That's he's doing, he intends to handle high quality video on his machine and inevitably he will have to work with 4K too. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if he has to work with it now, most video professionals are doing so because it pays to have high quality image materials for future use. -

Ah, okay. I only read the last page so I wasn't sure about his planned usage. In that case something like a 960 evo would be a good bet. -

2018-03-18 at 8:46 PM UTCim looking at prices on these components and the main thing im seeing in their price history is that the graphics cards, RAM memory, and power supply prices have had some shit-gasmic explosion in price, allegedly due to this 'mining' bullshitery.
that being the case, its more budgetarily sensible to buy an already built PC with equivalent components until prices come back down to reasonable. -
2018-03-18 at 8:48 PM UTCWhen I do custom builds for a customer, I just ask what their budget is. I take that number and build the best computer I can while factoring in build labor/OS installation/etc. I won't do a build if I can't make $150 on it, that includes all my labor and parts upcharge, etc. If I can't make $150, then I don't do it.

thats part of what im saying about the budget. a computer that would cost $2000 to build a year and a half ago now will cost $3000, even considering the age-degradation of the components. -

shut your kosher hole, kike, and crawl back into your oven.
