Bulldog88 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 As the title suggests I am potentially interested in building a gaming PC. I am a lifelong console gamer who hasn't gamed on a PC in 10+ years. As the console port is having serious technical issues I am debating the idea of going to PC gaming again. I would want to design a system somewhat optimized for KSP but obviously have the ability for others as well. Things I am looking for: -4K at a decent frame rate (I know KSP isn't 4K) -Cooling features are a must, that room I plan on putting it is not the coolest -All peripherals except monitor -I am fine with a trial/watermarked version of Windows. But if there is a specific version of Windows that KSP is best on I am open to purchase. -Wanting to go as high end as possible with graphics card within stated budget (below) -Rough budget $1500 -Found a website called DigitalStorm that seemed to make some nice reasonably priced builds, any reviews/suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Kerman Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Greetings @Bulldog88. I live in a place where it can get to 45degC. Last year my air-conditioner broke but to my surprise my new tower was just fine with a standard 3 fan arrangement. The one thing I would recommend in a high temperature environment is that you use a "High Durability" motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkarmark Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Oh and there is an awsome website for chosing pc parts PcPartPicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog88 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Thanks @rkarmark! Unfortunately I don't know enough about the different components to do much. I reposted this in another thread and got some good answers from people with specific parts mapped out using that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
