iVVChewy9141VVi Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) My Official Gaming Build 2017 After 3 months of purchasing my computer parts i have finally come to the point of building it. The only thing i am still working on is my Storage setup which i will probably just use my Seagate Barracuda Pro 2TB for my OS and my Seagate Barracuda Pro 8TB for games. Got them dirt cheap.

I will def post. Only thing is my Fan controller i have to create a Little Black Acrylic casing so it looks clean inside the case. Its a Lamptron CM615 which is both touch and software control. Will help me see what my fans are doing when i look at the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David OC Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Before I built my pc, I had windows on a standard HDD and later bought an SSD to put DCS on. Crazy quick load times just doing that without windows being on the SSD drive, I was blow away with the speed. If you can, I would get a small SSD 250GB or 500GB if you can to install windows and DCS, you will not regret it. It's not really quicker in sim having an SSD, but the load times are easily half or more the time of a standard HDD. If you also do any editing Photoshop or video, these drives really do help when editing. Keep the HDD's for plenty of storage and other less important games and sims, lol. (2 DCS installs = 136GB) (windows install was = 20GB) i7-7700K OC @ 5Ghz | ASUS IX Hero MB | ASUS GTX 1080 Ti STRIX | 32GB Corsair 3000Mhz | Corsair H100i V2 Radiator | Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe 500G SSD | Samsung 850 EVO 500G SSD | Corsair HX850i Platinum 850W | Oculus Rift | ASUS PG278Q 27-inch, 2560 x 1440, G-SYNC, 144Hz, 1ms | VKB Gunfighter Pro Chuck's DCS Tutorial Library Download PDF Tutorial guides to help get up to speed with aircraft quickly and also great for taking a good look at the aircraft available for DCS before purchasing.
