Starting my new desktop build!

in #technology6 years ago

It has begun!

Alright. April is here and so is the promise of a new Ryzen 7 generation.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I wanna upgrade my old desktop CPU.
But come to think of it, since I atleast would need to upgrade mobo, cpu and RAM, why not just build a new machine entirely?

So that is what I plan on doing now.

The parts!

I already started ordering the parts I need. So I'm starting from the buttom.
This is now what I plan on buying:

  • A new case (a red fancy one)
  • 500W Power supply
  • X470 motherboard (probably ASrock)
  • Ryzen 7 2700
  • 16 GB Dual Channel RAM (2966 MHz if mobo supports it)

And this is what I'm gonna take out of the old one and put into the new one:

  • Asus GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB
  • 120 GB SSD
  • 2 TB HDD
  • Bluray drive

So far!

I bought the case, it should arrive tomorrow. I also got the power supply.
The CPU is rumoured to be released on April 19th, which is next week.
Motherboards will probably release at the same time, so I will order those when I can.
I can't really order the RAM yet, because I want the best ones my motherboards supports, and I won't know what that is until they release.
