Updated Build:

[TMatzelle60]

So after deciding that the RVZ02 will not be good enough and wanted a CPU that is Stock FAST!!! :joystick::pilot fly:

 

Phanteks Evolv ITX (White)

Intel Core i7 6700K

EVGA Z170 Stinger

Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400 16GB

EVGA GTX 980

EVGA P2 65

WD Black 2TB (OS)

WD Black 5TB (Partition 1/2 for Steam and Other 1/2 for DCS World)

 

Basically a sick EVGA build

The only thing I feel is missing in your spec sheet is an SSD as your operating system drive.

[TMatzelle60]

Honestly Even though SSD are great i don't mind waiting extra 10 seconds for booting and stuff

[OldE24]

it's not a matter of booting, DCS uses your HDD and if you ever Zoom or certian things you CAN get a lagspike because it HAS to read from HDD......you will notice it when you Zoom or look around sometimes or as your view changes.

Dcs loads stuff in while you're playing, not just before you play, and even ssds aren't that fast compared to system ram, so micro-studders can still happen, especially on servers with many types of air and ground units spawned in all over the map at the same time.

 

HDDs just aren't fast enough for those situations, unless you enjoy screen freezes and people getting angry at you for warping all over the place, and weather intentionally or not, cheating to avoid getting killed.

+1 exactly it was the MICRO stutters i used to get even worse on a WD 10K raptor drive...tho it does have 26K+ power on hours now.

On my old PC never had screen freezes or warping all over the place. If your warping all over the place i would think thats more internet. But i flew with friends before and never had problems

 

And since i do a lot of work on the PC like 3d modeling and work on other games i won't have space to put this stuff on a SSD. Unless someone can find me a 5TB ssd

[agrasyuk]

256 or 512Gb SSD will fit nicely as system and DCS drive , you still can have whatever amount of aditional drives to store data. Im not sure what is your question however, It sounds like you have everything figured.

You do know that modern PCs, aka machines from the 1980s onwards, even IDE, can have multiple drives?

 

Today, people usually have an SSD for programs, and an HDD for storage, if you're being honest, you'd have an SSD for a scratch/working drive too, 2 ssds and an HDD...

I don't have SSD for the same reason (extra 10 seconds for booting and stuff) that TMatzelle mentioned. :thumbup:

Well, since you posted you asked for it.

 

DCS loves SSD, Windows loves SSD, we all love SSD ;)

 

If you dont put one in you miss the biggest advantage in PC history for the past decade, hands down. It#s NOT ONLY BOOTING.

 

if you do 3d as you say, work a lot, heck., get a few ssd's OMG

 

To be SSD or not to be SSD is the question !

[zxarkov]

Having a SSD gives you more than faster boot times, apps and games load much faster, games access the HD during gaming as well.

 

In the windows computer performance rating, one of the categories is disk data transfer rate. Even with a Raptor HD, it would bring the whole system rating down(lowest score). It represents a key bottle neck to optimal system performance. Prices have come down on SSDs, performance/lifetime enhanced as well.

 

I have 512GB SSD as my primary(windows,apps,games) and secondary regular HD for storage. It is easy and not expensive to do at this point, so why not?

ok if ONLY your potato internet causes warping then why do some of these chuckleheads try and Printscreen there way out of a missile??? oh yeah because it can cause lag.

 

you can keep your 5TB HDD for storage. and use a SSD for DCS/windows. or have 3 Drives.

No more needing to de-frag either.

 

5TB SSD? Puny, PUNY! 16TB SSD.
