    Spec for new PC to play COD primarily - good/bad/otherwise?

    Hi everyone,

    The Win7 to Win10 'free' upgrade didnt work for me and i dont have time to try and make it work. So I've brought fwd plans to buy a new PC.

    With the help on my IT savvy 16 yr old son I've put together the following spec for a new PC (less some stuff i'll be reusing from my existing PC like the monitor) that will be primarily used to play COD. And do boring stuff like paying bills and online banking etc <yawn>

    new_pc_spec.JPG

    Be interested in any thoughts / comments etc.

    I've tried to strike a balance between performance and cost but if i can get significantly better performance for a few $$ more here and there then I'd appreciate any thoughts on how to do so. In particular I found the GPU options very confusing in terms of trying to balance cost v performance.

    Be very appreciate if anyone sees any show stopper issues that would prevent me playing COD at max settings with this PC

    Thanks

    Ezzie

    PS Cost is in $AUS in case you are wondering...

    If you want a cheaper version with better performance I would go AMD, Ryzen CPUs are very cost-effective in both long and short term and they offer better value, but the build you got there is pretty good if you have no budget limitations.

    Pretty much the same with GPUs and I have used them both.


    That Windows 10 key can be purchased way more cheaper, have you looked on Ebay?

    Looks pretty good Ezzie... make sure you install the game on the SSD if you want max performance.

    Your SSD is a little small... I know that these are expensive... but if you can afford 500 gb, you will find it easier to fit the various programs you want to run optimally on that drive.

    I'd also go for 2 TB non solid state drive... they are cheap... not much difference in cost between 1 TB and 2.

    Honestly it's overkill on some things, as in if you're truly playing Cliffs and paying bills it's a bit much.

    What resolution are you playing at? Are you planning on overclocking? (If not save some money and skip the "K" variant CPUs as you won't use it). I'd save some $$$ here and there and go for a 500GB main SSD, and get a 1 (or 2)TB SSD for games. Skip the old optical drive nowadays.

    Personal opinion disclaimer, but unless you're doing some really demanding stuff, 4K gaming, whatever, you aren't going to notice a difference between an i7 and i5. You won't even use 32gb of memory (at least not anytime soon). A 2070 Super is useful for 4K or 1440p high end gaming (and I'm not talking about Cliffs of Dover here) and a total waste of money at 1080p. I mean, if you want to spend it go for it. I just think you could do really well with some better performance to value components.

    Thanks FS - good advice.

    Re resolution - im currently using a 1920 x 1200 / 60 Hz and will be using this monitor on my new PC, at least for a year or 2. But down track i would like to increase the resolution and refresh rate.

    I wont be overclocking so thanks re the K.

    Re 32gb - i guess i was thinking of the future as well re 32. I might investigate this further.

    Thanks

    Regarding SSDs: Back in early 2018 when I bought a new PC I went for a WD Blue 3D NAND 1TB M.2 SSD, which at heart is still a SATA SSD brought into the M.2 format. On paper it's a good bit slower than the more expensive NVME SSDs but for gaming there's little to choose between SATA and NVME. It's only when you're writing large amounts of data that the NVME SSDs start running away in terms of speed.

    See this comparison here for example (Starting a game, loading a savegame), in German though:
    https://www.gamestar.de/artikel/m2-s...57,seite3.html

    So for the same money that you're spending on that 250GB NVME SSD you could be getting a TB SATA SSD. Just food for thought

    just upgraded mine a couple months ago to pretty much what you are showing. the thing that made a big difference was the SSD drives. I use one for operating and a separate for flight sim. load in time is now just seconds


    Asus Z390 MB, 32 GB Corsair RAM, 850 W Power Supply, Intel Core i7 9700K GeForce RTX 2080 Super 8 G and about a dozen squirrels running on a wheel that I sometimes forget to feed !

    Well, for starters, I certainly wouldn't pay $100AUD for a cooler, I'd get something like the Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO, and bolt an extra fan to it for another $10

    On one note: the 370 class CPU's, MB's are succeeded already, to future proof, you might wanna go for 390
    and if you're not OCing, you don't need a Z-specced board

    If I was brand-specific
    I'd take an I5 over an I7
    I'd also sooner would opt for a 2060S over a 2070S (that's at least 100 in whatever currency saved with minimal performance loss, but I consider the RTX cards too expensive anyway)

    As for RAM, you could do with 1 stick of 16gb and get another later

    Any money I would have saved would've gone into an extra SSD for programs and leave the 250gb for OS

    The "Bang for buck" discussion concerning brands is a tricky one

    IMO, never say you won't overclock! Always opt for a "K" INTEL Processor. Overclocking both Processor and VGA is the single greatest performance gain available in CLoD gaming. Overclocking is now safe, reliable, and mostly automatic through BIOS options.

    For a big VGA card, buy a big case. Carefully consider the length of the card and the space in the case. I feel that the bigger case allows for more cooling options (more fans) as well as allowing for uncramped cable routing. It's simply easier to work inside a big case and as a minimum, select a FULL tower. CoolerMaster makes some good ones.

    The 750 Watt power supply is adequate, but if you foresee any future power load increases (SLI, extra cooling, etc.), then a 1000 Watt PS can provide some peace of mind. It seems that the Gold standard can save $, over the Platinum level.

    I've used a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 with an extra fan for the TCUII cooling specification (Found in the ASUS BIOS). This BIOS spec is supposed to require water cooling, but I have used this inexpensive, 100% air setup on my last two computers with no heat issues on my overclocked processors. $35. ($45 with the extra fan!)

    M.2 memory is very convenient and reliable, but it costs a lot. I'm very pleased with mine. Whether SATA or M.2, upgrade to 1 TB and you can install everything except large numbers of DVD movies in one place for most home computers.

    Why add a WiFi controller?

    That motherboard surely has a LAN adapter on it? (Haven't checked though...)

    Re: Spec for new PC to play COD primarily - good/bad/otherwise?

    A little fodder for thought about future proofing....

    High refresh rates and higher res monitors will raise the old vsync floor. What runs well at 60hz at 1080p with some nice headroom may die the death of a thousand cuts at 120hz. Theres always freesync/gsync of couse but that can be buggy as well and you are currently limited on monitor size even if your pockets are as deep a Highseas's mind. So having the grunt to run in old skool may likely be a good fallback position especially if you like bigger/multi screens and/or are considering VR in future. I know you said 2 years but that can come round quick and TBH at the prices PC parts costs now, most of us are a long way past being able to afford a new build every 24 month.

    As Baffin I would always look for a K or equvalent in an intel. The OC on my old 6600K is currently the saving grace of my geriatric rig. Like Baffin Ive also used the 212 Evo forever and even at 4.6ghz it keeps things in check....that said I wager Lincolnshire at this time of year is a tad colder than HMP Oz but im assuming you have AC. The Evo is ugly as sin but cheapish and it works. There are better air coolers now though if you were starting from scratch like the Noctura but its a heafty price. All that said Rizen is becoming more and more mainstream in gaming and comes with a perfectly servicable cooler if you aint doing daft things with it. My own impending upgrade is likely to be AMD based.

    All the rumour talk is that the next gen nvidia cards may launch this year to. The usual twice the speed/half the price crap is being talked but May might bring some firmer news if you are not in a rush.

    Thanks Highseas - some good advice

    re aircon - believe it or not I only have ceiling fans in my room where my PC is - its an old house. In summer the temps do get up to ~ 35C in the room and I have the fans on max speed. My current liquid cooled system works OK at these temps but will look into this to make sure i have enough cooling in the new PC.

    skip the tower, just get a MB CPU, cpu cooler, RAM SSD HDD and the GPU...maybe a PSU depending on the final need of power.

    re aircon - believe it or not I only have ceiling fans in my room where my PC is - its an old house. In summer the temps do get up to ~ 35C in the room and I have the fans on max speed. My current liquid cooled system works OK at these temps but will look into this to make sure i have enough cooling in the new PC.

    At some point u may want to try DCS (130GB and rising) and one of the many FPShooters on offer (another 100GB) and u will regret not having the space on ur NVME or at the very least an SSD 2ndary HDD to load them from. About $226 more for the 2 drives but worth it IMO. U will find u will fill the 250GB drive up quickly and as with any HDD u need to keep 10-15% free space (25GB) to let Windows and other apps move stuff around when needed.
