Ok I've come into a tiny bit of money and want to build a great rig with very high benchmark results. I'm reaching out to all you for a few questions. I will be getting the asus rog motherboard of course and the new nvidia 2080 card. What chip is top at this moment and then for ssd and hdd memory pretty much everything else lol. I just want to make something that will not only play wow but will handle all games at max settings.
Whats your max budget?
Which asus rog board did you want?
How many games do you plan to play at max settings at the same time? (Hint, it wont be possible to play that many..).
Which monitor resolution do you want to play at?
max budget 5k
Asus ROG maximus x hero
games right now wow destiny 2 soon to be anthem
Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ thats the monitor i want to get but its a tad pocket raping lol. But anything that could handle up to those specs
How many wow games do you aim to play on that single monitor (and at the max resolution possible).
Btw i gtg now, wont be home in a day. Maybe some others can help you.
Well I have two smaller monitors already for my alts so my main is on that screen. My other 4 will be split on two monitors
If you have to have the motherboard you wanted, it seems it only support max 6 core / 12 thread cpus.
Ive also never played with higher resolutions than 1080p, so im not sure how much VRAM you would need to play 5 games in 4k. It could be more than the 8 GB of VRAM the 2080 has.
Maybe some others know more details.
This is the build i came up with with that motherboard.

Note:
Compatibility Notes
- The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled.
- The motherboard M.2 slot #2 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated with a PCIe-based M.2 drive, two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports are disabled.
Is there a better mb. I am partial to asus.
And that's not at all a bad price
I changed the motherboard (64 gb ram now, but room for 128 gb ram if you need to increase it later on).
Also the cpu is now a intel 10 core, 20 threads.
You can now have up to 4 cores per game, if you choose to play 5 games at 4K
That should give you some more headroom and futureproofing.
The only possible issue is the gfx card, ideally you might just go for any nvidia 1080ti which has 11 gb of vram, as im not sure 8 gb vram on the 2080 will be enough.

Thanks
Just noticed that the new nvidia 2080 ti will have 11 gb vram. Its 1200 dollars though, supposedly. If you can afford it, that would be the best. But ofc the 1080 ti should do the trick nicely.
