It is a pre-made.

And it seems to be stable now. /fingerscrossed

Yea Win10 is amazingly stable as a clean install, very likely your issue was some shitty dell/hp/whatever branded software borking when updates ran.

Amazon has a deep discount on a 600W UPS right now. I picked one up as the cheap one I bought from Walmart a few months ago (one day I'll learn to google before I impulse purchase) can't support my PC's draw.

I think I'll wait until Prime Day and get it for $30 more.

So after not even finding a trace of a 1070 superclocked online anywhere, check frys and ready to pick up in 20 minutes. Lol. Let's see how this compares to my 550ti.

I would guess very favorably.

Well, it's a ton faster. But I dimed all the settings on some games that aren't DX12 and I don't have a 4K monitor or gsync so the real 'goodies' aren't there yet.

Mmm. 650W PSU, silent below 40%. Maybe get one a tad more powerful, 750 or 850 to avoid the fan? It's 10 and 30 dollars more, respectively. I donno, I hate fan noise.

Is a "gold" standard power supply that much better then the lessser ones?

Is 16gb of ram worth getting over 8?

Is I-7 worth the extra money for only gaming?

Thanks everyone

Sure if that bothers you. I have a 650 and I can't hear my psu fan though.

Gold is good to get. Psus come in tiers and typically you want gold or above.

16 vs 8, 8 is the standard but I think it's best to stick with 16 especially how cheap ram is.

For gaming an i5 is more than enough. You only need an i7 for cpu intensive stuff like streaming, video editing etc.

I always get an optical drive just in case, they're like 15 bucks

Skip the PRO and get an EVO. Save the $60-$70, you'll never notice any difference whatsoever in day to day usage.
