Possible next PC build

FWIW my puter engineer son recently advised me that the 3200 RAM was the way to go, when I decided to upgrade to 16 GB from my 8 GB 2400 sticks.

He's right there is not a noticeable gain between the 3200 RAM and 3600 RAM stick, especially when the margin is ≤ 1% for performance.

The Supernovas are good PSUs.

What are you gonna do with this thing...Minecraft?

Color pong is way to advanced for this machine

I think it used to be that PSU efficiency went way down as the load went down, so if you were using a 1000W PSU, but drawing only 150W of power, its efficiency would be crap -- you'd be, say, drawing 300W from the wall outlet to make 150W of power for the computer.  So, the PSU would be delivering 150W of power to the computer (and generating 150W of heat through useful work) plus an additional 150W of power into just waste heat.

80 plus PSU's, though, are at least 80% efficient down to 20% load, meaning if you are drawing 200W from a 1000W PSU, it is drawing at most 200/.8 = 250W from the wall, so not bad.

However, 80 plus generally isn't rated at 10% load.  So, if you have a 1000W PSU, but draw less than 200W normally, it's not clear what the efficiency is.

80+ Titanium requires 90% efficiency at 10% load, all others ratings have 20% load for minimum eff reqment

Thanks! Didn't know/remember having seen that before.

I have a 1080TI card and would really like to get the 2080TI for my Valve Index VR. Your specs looks great for a VR build. Looks like its gonna be a really nice build

It's leaps and bounds better than my current machine, though my current machine isn't that bad. It was built March 2016.

It's seen some stuff!

New machine is in, hooked up and I gotta say, it's a beast for sure.

Is it a front loader? They are very efficient.
