Bought a
i7 3.4gh 6700k processor.
Gigabyte GA-H170-HD3 Motherboard.
Corsair Vengeance LPX  16GB (2x8GB) 2133MHz DDR4 memory.
Antec High Current Gamer Modular 850W Power Supply.
MSI Radeon R9 390 GAMING, 8GB graphics card. (may buy another)

already have over 8TB's worth of hdds. Don't need anymore.

Next buy in a few weeks will be a HTC VIVE. I have the Gear VR which is fun but limited.

yay

how old is your previous pc and how much did you bought that time?  and how much did you spent on your new pc?

8 TB of HDDs.  wow.  why did you need that much storage?

Damn dude, with those specs, it's sounds expensive Though very impressive. I'm still rocking the first gen i7. I definitely need to upgrade my graphics card too. You have pics?

old pc was about 6 years old. I had updated the GFX card / psu a a month ago.
Needed to update rest to get full use of card and be able to run vive / oculus without problems.

I spent about

Corsair Vengeance LPX $149.00
Gigabyte GA-H170-HD3 Motherboard    $169.00
Intel Core i7 6700    $455.00    

Antec High Current Gamer Modular 850W Power Supply  $195.00 
MSI Radeon R9 390 GAMING, 8GB  $535.00    

all up about $1500 AUD. Not much really.


I already have a Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Champion for sound card.

i have a antec 1kw psu. I thought it was playing up. I got a feeling there is nothing wrong with it. I'll use it for a cocktail arcade i plan on building.

Storage was for all my gaming / movie needs. I have a NAS now that has 6 TBs on it which i use to store all the stuff, so most of my hdds are empty space.

I have some pics but didn't take any of the inside when finished.  Here are some including my old mobo / cpu.  Some of the inside on a shitty angle. My pc sits to the left of my desk against a wall so it's hard to see inside it.

sounds very good and looks cool.  I just did the money converter from google and $1,503 Australian dollars equal about $1,135 U.S. dollar.  That is still a lot of money.  you must be pretty rich.  very cool.  what will be your first game on this new pc that you built?

1100 ain't too bad for a custom computer. I spent 1400 I believe on mine like 5-6 years ago I believe. I've upgraded the hard drives on mine in that time but I still have all the original hardware otherwise. Good to see what Souly paid so I can get an idea on what an upgrade on mine will cost Though I have apartment hunting and shit going on now and paying off a laptop so it may still be a while

[Paul2]

Wow titan, US $1,400 on a pc back then.  you must be pretty rich too.  how about it, post a pic of what your pc look like.  since i am bored, i would like to see it if you don't mind.

Lol. I'm not rich. It cost me most of what I had at the time. I make more now but with cost of living, I don't really save a whole lot. I make a little over the national average.

[Paul2]

i see.  still nice that you make a little over the national average.  if you don't mind, can you post a picture of your pc?

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

i make under the national average. That being said i make more money then most people i know, so i have no idea how they get the average. I've only meet a few people that make 74k and more (average). Most of them work in the mining sector or have their own business.

Well, when they pay you in woodchips, I can see why you make under the national average
