Just ordered a new nvidia 770GTX, think im all set now. 6 core (12 thread) i7 extreme, 24gb ram and the above GPU plus a 23 inch 1920x1080 monitor. Geting excited for the alpha.

Nah... you're missing the fluffy dice that needs to hang from your monitor

Without SSD, all this beautiful mechanics does not work ...

And he forgot a motherboard. Better watch what version of windows too...

 

[izzy]

With 24gb ram, I think he got a good mother board
Yes SSD is mandatory with this specs

 

[Philip Coutts]

I got my new rig and I can heartily recommend a SSD drive, they are super quick when starting up.

 

[Moriarte]

Good specs.

Next stretch goals - SSD and 2560x display.

 

[Rog]

You'll be wanting an Oculus Rift to go with all that...

One adapted for 3 eyes?

Shouldn't that be a bobble head Thargoid?

 

[Michael_G]

Lol no ssd there still too expensive per gb. This is my cg rendering rig too hence the 24gb mem. Motherboard is gigabyte x58-ud5.

 

[Jean-Marc Cipullo]

Oh no, what is this SSD talk about?? This is making me nervous. I think it's the chip right?

yes yes, i know little about computers. Do not laugh. :S

 

[Jean-Marc Cipullo]

RAM right? sounds kinky. But yes, RAM you mean this SSD thing? I shall boot up the PC. I do all my surfing on an old Mac

 

[Maxeren]

That too...

I still can't get over what a difference the SSD makes to startup/shutdown.

Only had it a couple of months - but what a difference to my laptop which doesn't have one (and it's a decent spec laptop too).

I wouldn't have a computer now without an SSD for the OS/Main apps drive. Single best upgrade (and now standard feature for me) I ever made.

That's one powerful computer you've got there Michael. You shouldn't have any problems.

 

[HaB1971]

With that kind of horse power you might be able to get 5 to maybe 6 polygons drawn for a ship and more than 2 colours !!! Maestro cue the Blue Danube music please!!!!

They are less than $1 per GB now so it is getting better... $189 for a 256gb drive... even if that is just a boot drive that is more than capable...

I'm thinking an SSD could represent a really big performance increase for older machines and considering it myself so I can avoid upgrading the mobo and cpu. Presumably its got to help with pagefile access and improve overall performance massively.

Has anyone had experience of replacing a traditional hard drive with an SSD for these purposes?
