Dem Spec good or NAH


Recommended Posts

Honestly, I see no point in bragging.. how do we even know you own this set up? Maybe you're just reading a bunch of parts put together on PCPartPicker.

 

If you honestly do own this set up, congratulations. That must've cost a good chunk of money. In this section, we help people, we don't cater to braggers and trollers.

The 1000W PSU is overkill for the setup and will not provide optimum efficientcy. The 1TB HDD is understandable but the 2TB hybrid drive is pointless. Hybrid drives are faster than regular hard drives but are nowhere near as fast as an actual SSD. You could have been much further ahead to just get an SSD .

Motherboard is not where I'd put my money. The idea of a cut-peucw RoG board is fundamentally stupid. Two 980s is a bit pointless unless you're going 4k or multiple 1440p.

the 2TB hybrid drive is pointless.

^^^^^

 

SSDs are much better despite the higher price per GB.

 

Not to mention Seagate's SSHD are very inconsistent in terms of performance. In fact, my HDD outperforms the average speed of their ST2000DX001 , hell, I'm pretty sure their own Barracuda outperforms it.

 

My speeds / Seagate's SSHD speeds

 

Seq Read: 183 / 147

Seq Write: 155 / 159 (Within the margin of error imo)

Seq Mixed: 175 / 125

4K Read: 1 / 0.67

4K Write: 2.18 / 4.98 (Huh... It actually beats my HDD at something by a decent margin)

4K Mixed: 0.44 / 0.63

 

Not being funny or anything but my Hitachi Ultrastar 7k4000, which is only a 2TB 7200 RPM drive, is a better drive for just about everything. Higher Seq read speeds make it better for grabbing large blocks of data and higher 4k read speeds make it better for use as a boot drive.

 

 

A few tips for you:

 

  • At least look into building your own PC, you'll save a decent chunk of money or you can go for better components.
  • Don't bother with SSHDs, they're a complete waste of money, especially if you can get a HDD which is going to perform just as good or in some cases, better.
  • Go with a cheaper PSU like EVGA's G2 750 or 850. Much cheaper, high quality, 10 year warranty backed by EVGA's legendary customer service.
  • Get an SSD for the boot drive
