I've gotten the go-ahead, in the midst of crippling debt, to get a new computer.

The only requirements are that it must run Windows 10, it must run Cygwin, and it must run Planet Coaster smokin' fast on Ultra.

Tell me what to buy.

Thank you.

In very briefly looking into this, the real bottleneck here is Planet Coaster.

I have it on good authority that a GTX 1060 will do fine to run it on Ultra. However, it's also a CPU hog.

I don't know nothing about CPUs. So, I think we're comfortable with the graphics card, but the CPU is a mystery.

I feel like this would do it? Something like this?

OK, if you say "build me a computer," we're gonna do that.

This is $827.19, no hard drive, but three terabyte hard drives are $89 on Newegg:

The only thing I don't like about the computer Pinback linked is that it has a HDD instead of a SSD. Fast loading times are really nice to have.

I agree with that.

I agree with all of this!

Kinda feelin' this one, dawgz!

As far as CPU goes, just stick to whatever the current version of Intel7 that is going for around 300$ Looks like the last one you linked has that covered.

I'm still running an I7 based setup I built in this case https://www.nzxt.com/products/source-530 and it works fine for Resident Evil 7 and other modern games.

Due to the release of the GTX 1070 Ti, the normal 1070 has received a price cut today. Might take some days for this to propagate to retailers though.

(The new MSRP being $329.)

Only the BEST for our pal, Pinback!

My understanding is AMD'S Ryzen processors are serious competition to anything Intel is releasing. But don't go lower than quad or six core, as most games are requiring at least dual core and we can expect this to go up.

How are they for handling overfull inboxes?

A-hahahaha ahhhh that was great.

So did the steam key get through?

Welp, there it is.

That looks like a really nice computer, let us know if you decide on it and how much you like it when it arrives. This thread has motivated me to start parts researching for my next build to replace my frankenpotato pc that's on its last leg.

Is the daring design of the tower part of the appeal of this machine?

No, the fact that it had better tech for less money than the other ones I was looking at.

I thought you wanted to *build* a computer, not buy a pre-built one.

I changed my mind.
