Heya all you lovely people!
I recently realized i need to build a new gaming rig. My 8 year old R4 chunk of a hunk, even though upgraded twice and served me well over the years, does not do it for me anymore. Being out of the loop for a while i started researching and after a while, naturally, i found this community. I can no longer not build a SFF build.
I have purchased and just got my Ghost S1 delivered that i plan to use as my main gaming rig, a bit of modelling and later on VR.
I'm holding off buying a GPU until Nvidia releases their new series (gief that RTX!), which are roumored to hit the shelves this summer if im not mistaken. My aim is to get a 2070 RXT equivalent of todays card unless they become crazy overpriced.
To my question
Can we forsee the requirements of the new Nvidia cards? Could the new 7nm technology change any reqs?
I'd like to know if there there is a point in holding back buying the other components for my rig or not? (Motherboard, PSU etc.) In case they are not optimized for the new cards?
My speculated build
- Ghost S1
- M Tophat with either 2 noctua fans or 1 fan/1 HDD.
- Ryzen 3600X (Cooled by a Noctua nh l9a or L12)
- 32 GB of gangstah RAM that fits under the selected radiator
- RTX 3070
- Corsair SF600 PSU (Would i require 750W?)
- ROG STRIX B450-I (Are there better options?)
Cheerios
