A common question I’ve been getting is “What are the Specs of the PC I use?” so I’m making this page to share the specs of my main two PCs that I use in my setups.
My main PC I am currently running is “The Stormtrooper”. This build is my Intel build, and I feel it’s my best that I have configured for Gaming. My 7th generation Intel i7 in this build is Overclocked to a fairly stable 5 GHz, and definitely gets the job done! This is my first Intel build, and I’m really enjoying it so far!
- CM Storm Trooper Case
- Intel i7 7700k CPU
- Corsair H110i V2 Cooler
- MSI Nvidia GTX 1080 SC
- MSI Gaming Pro Carbon Z270 Motherboard
- 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM (3200MHz)
- 800W 80+ Bronze PSU
- 500GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD (Boot Drive)
- 256GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD (Secondary Drive)
- 3TB WD Blue HDD (Data Drive)
My other PC I have is the “Black Beauty”, my Ryzen build. Since I had used an AMD FX8350 build for years, I wanted to see how the ZEN architecture was an improvement, and it really is! While, for productivity, it absolutely BLOWS the Stormtrooper out of the water, I feel like the Intel build is still a little better for gaming.
- Phanteks Enthoo Pro Case
- AMD Ryzen 7 1800X CPU
- Corsair H110i V2 Cooler
- Zotac Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 (No Longer Sold)
- 16GB DDR4 G.Skill RAM (3200MHz)
- MSI Gaming Pro Carbon X370 Motherboard
- 256 GB Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB SSD (Boot Drive)
- 4TB Western Digital Black 7200 RPM HDD (Data Drive)
- EVGA SuperNOVA 750W 80 Plus Gold PSU
Note that for my videos, I will play AND stream on the same PC. I don’t use a separate PC for streaming. For Console gaming, I use an Elgato HD60 for capture/streaming.
I hope this helps people looking for a decent mid-high end PC to build!
