To be honest, I'm pretty skilled at building my own PC, so many friends and students come to me for help. Usually, the easiest way is to recommend a complete system. However, for some local friends who want to build their own rig, I still prefer to install everything myself. It's more satisfying that way.
Recently, a friend from Wuhan asked me to help him configure a gaming PC. He said he didn’t have a budget limit, which made me a bit excited. Money can buy anything these days. I let him choose the main components, while I took care of the rest using his old parts—no waste, no regrets.
Here’s the configuration:
- **CPU:** Intel Core i7-8700
- **Motherboard:** Gigabyte Z370 AORUS GAMING 7
- **Graphics Card:** Gigabyte GTX 1080
- **Memory:** Yingchi Hall of Fame DDR4 3600 (8GB × 2)
- **SSD:** Samsung 960 EVO 250GB M.2
- **Hard Drive:** Seagate 2TB
- **Power Supply:** Corsair HX750i Platinum Full Modular
- **Cooler:** Cooler Master H55 Integrated Water Cooler
- **Case:** Yingsheng 303 Black & Red
The previous configuration diagram is shown below.
Is it impressive? It’s just a simple setup because the rest of the components were sent directly to Wuhan. This one stays with me, allowing me to play around with dual GPU SLI.
Thanks to AMD and Intel's fierce competition in 2017, we've all had our share of fun and food. The fact that AMD released the Ryzen 7 1800X in late October was really interesting. With six cores and twelve threads, it completely broke the traditional four-core dominance of Intel and became one of the most talked-about CPUs in history.
If you want to use the 8th Gen Core i7, you’ll need a Z370 motherboard. So unless you're a local enthusiast or just need it, I suggest waiting. The cost of motherboard, memory, GPU, and CPU together can easily reach tens of thousands. I’m just watching others have fun on my Z270 platform.
A six-phase power supply is more than enough for general gaming.
Now, motherboards are all about lighting effects. Even the memory slots have RGB bars.
The South Bridge logo also has RGB lighting.
Three PCIe slots with metal armor to support two heavy graphics cards.
This is the Gigabyte GTX 1080 I bought for him. The 1080 is more than capable of handling any current game. I personally prefer NVIDIA cards, but this one doesn't have RGB lighting. It has standard 3DP, 1DVI, 1HDMI ports, and an 8-pin power connector, which is quite good for its class.
This is my public version of the GTX 1080. The quality is much better than his, and he walked away with a matte black design. Mine is clearly top-tier. After the 1060, the interface became standardized: 3DP, 1DVI, 1HDMI, and 8-pin power. My card has a milk turbine cooling fan by GIGABYTE.
I don’t understand why he chose the GALAXY Hall of Fame memory. I wanted to go with a Chichi model, but he preferred white. As an RGB enthusiast, it was really tough for me.
The simple white style is now reflected in the memory, and even the GALAXY Hall of Fame graphics card is white.
Even without RGB lighting, it still looks great on its own.
Recently, memory prices have dropped significantly. If you're looking to upgrade, now might be a good time.
It's temporarily good.
The Great Wall Gold Dragon 1250W power supply is an 80PLUS gold certified unit with over 90% efficiency under typical load. It has a rated power of 1250W, active PFC dual-transistor forward design, 3.3V and 5V DC-DC output, independent 6-channel +12V outputs, and fully modular cabling.
Fortunately, the height of both cards is almost the same, so I used a hard bridge.
GPU-Z recognizes both graphics cards.
Next, I'll run a test to see if it really makes a difference between single and dual cards.
First, with a single card.
Then, with dual cards.
When combined, the performance difference is clear, but SuperPosition recognized the dual cards. However, the frame rate actually turned out to be...? Anyone can explain? I'm confused.
Single-card frame rate in the game.
Dual-card frame rate in the game.
As seen, after optimization, there's no noticeable difference between single and dual cards in the game. They perform similarly.
Since I couldn’t send anything else to him, both cards were fake. Except for the frame rate, I didn’t see any other differences. The rest were all fake! ! ! I want real gold coins. Hahahahahaha!
