--- Quote from: SteveJenkins on September 18, 2017, 02:27:12 AM ---you could do a RAID setup but I'm not sure how that functions between different kinds of drives also its simply SSD (Solid State Drive), not SSD card, I think you're confusing it with Secure Digital cards --- End quote --- I looked up RAID setups and it says nothing on different types of drives you sure that that'd be what I'm looking for? it wouldn't be slower, would it? |
| Tactical Nuke:
so I talked with my music composition teacher, he's also a big computer guy and he says that if I did a RAID setup with the SSD it would slow down the speed of the drive, so I'm thinking I'd rather do a nightly backup onto the drive I don't even need to get a 256GB regular drive, I can get bigger because they're so cheap now also he said you're all wrong and that there is no such thing as more than enough RAM he really likes his RAM oh and overclocking is "old school" |
| Tactical Nuke:
update: I'm now doubting whether I should overclock or not, if you think it's not going to be an issue then I need a verified source telling me so I'm also considering bumping up the budget to $2500 because you guys gave me a stuff-tier soundcard I also need an in-depth explanation on shadowplay or whatever it's called, and what's required to do it |
| Tactical Nuke:
Budget is now $2500. I added some things and I want your opinion. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BCHvXH Suggest things and bring down the price. I want the best sound card out there (I'm gonna talk to my composition teacher about it) At this point, unless you can convince me that there isn't going to be any problems overclocking with the CPU, I'm not going to take that into consideration when constructing the list. |
| SteveJenkins:
unless you really want that RGB on your ramsticks you can save a couple of dollars by getting the same type without cheapest sticks I could find compatible with your motherboard choice happens to be identical to what you picked sans RGB: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ZskwrH/gskill-memory-f43000c15d16gtzb besides that as far as I can tell you aren't going to get any cheaper without sacrificing performance |
