  1. Upcoming birthday gift for my friend

    in PC mutual help

    Posted

    My best friends birthday is coming up so me and my two other mates decided to cheer him up by building him the ultimate beast of a PC. This plan was in works for some time now by 3 of us and money was saved like crazy. He's living in a little crappy apartment, barely makes money for a living with his outdated laptop (he's a photographer and a gamer that works for one of the portals here in Zagreb Croatia) and we thought he needs new tech for work and fun. Black friday sales are here so this is what we came up with:

     

    Motherboard: MSI X370 Gaming Plus

     

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700x, 8-core, 16 threads, 3.4Ghz/3.8Ghz Turbo

     

    COOLER: Still debating should we go air or liquid (but in my mind noctua will tame this beast pretty well so no need for high end liquid cooling)

     

    RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000Mhz

     

    GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Strix 8GB

     

    STORAGE: Samsung 960 pro M.2 500GB - Windows and miscellaneous, 1TB 850 PRO SSD for editing, WD Black Series 2TB for storage or whatever

     

    PSU: EVGA SuperNova 850W, 80+ Platinum, fully modular

     

    PC CASE: Cooler master Storm Stryker white, ATX Full tower case

     

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

     

    NOTE: Not all components will be new like GPU, PSU and CPU cooler. We needed to cut some corners because this build is high end and it would cost a lot more if fresh from the store.

     

    He was always a laptop dude so this will be his first proper PC he will have. We've put a lot of time planning this build so share your thoughts :)

     

    MOBO: Asus my favourite

     

    CPU: I heard thah ryzen 1700 is very good for editing work, at the same time time 8core/thread are better than 6/12(obviously)

     

    Anyway, in my opionion the choice of 800w PSU is a well-wheight choice, amd eat lot of energy, overclock on this cpu make it became a beast, never save money on PSU it's the hearth of the rig, an undersized psu should compromised the build, cooler master is favourite.

     

    Cooler: Take a big air cooler, cryorig make nice air coolers, often air one are better then liquid aio

     

    GPU...nothing to say, 1080 is better than 1070, in italy their price are really similar, 1070 is 80-100 euros cheaper than 1080, lsearch for some special offer, that's my advice.

     

    Anyway is a nice build, your friend must be proud of you! Good luck, let us know when this build are ready and share your friend comment on it :))

  7. Laptop for uni

    Thanks for your comments guys.

    The XPS 13 is a bit too expensive for me and let's not talk about macbook because it's wayyyyy too expensive.

     

    So there is an asus zenbook with i7-7500U,16 gb of ram, SSD  512 GB , M.2,  QHD+ screen 3200x1800 13" for 1300 euros.

     

    Or a Dell inspiron 15 5000 with i7-8550U,16 gb of ram, SSD SATA 512 GB, 1920x1080 FULL HD 15.6" for  1100 euros. Better CPU, bigger screen and 2 in 1 but worse SSD and screen quality :( The reviews I've seen on internet agree that the screen is shit which ins't good for a laptop :/

     1080p is good enough if u are not a graphic designer...intel 8550 is better than 7500 and you eill not appreciate differences between sata ssd and m2ssd...they are both very very fast

  12. Which Sports have u done?

    What amazing pic zoom!

     

    When I was 6 i started plat football and when i was 7 I understood that balls and teamwork were not for me.

     

    Then I star swimming for 5-6 years i think, water was my element, i got nice awards.

     

    Subsequently my family gave me a mountainbike as a gift and I start riding as fast as i can, always fast never brake. IN the same period I started to go to the gym...bodybuilding was never my aim (at the moment i am 183 cm*72kg, best results whan i was 183*75) so I tried bodyweight skills and calisthenics with nice nice achievement like front lever or dragonflag.

     

    Now i can't ride bike as often as I would like cause of my study but 2 years ago I got my first level fitness teacher graduation with my best friends and we built our domestic gym.

     

    I'll post some pic asap, both mountainbike and gym pic.

  16. Books anyone?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I was a ravenous reader when I was 15-16-17.

     

    Fantasy, science fiction,thriller and historical novel was my passion.

     

    Tolkien, Licia Troisi, Christopher Paolini, J.K. Rawling

    Asimov, VAlerio massimo Mandredi, Dan Brown, Ken Follet, Stephen king and so ON.

     

    I really really love books, they make me live another life, when i want and as long as i wish. Books were my evasions from what i dislike in life.

     

    Nowdays i'm still a reader, not so ravenous as i was earlier but i'm still a good one.

     

    We all grow up one day or another but books allow us to be younger...I think it's called peter pan syndrome ^^

     

    Anyway books can teach, books can make  better than technology can sometimes.
