Budget isn't much of an issue considering the two are only around $30 or so apart. I plan on using an RTX 2700 GPU and will spend money on a decent cooler if overclocking will increase performance. The rest of my build is set up and comes in around $1,500 but I'm just debating on this last...

I know it’s all about gpu in this situation but I still got to choose a CPU when building. I’m just stuck between these two options and (although it will barely have any effect in comparison to the GPU) I’m trying to understand when 8 cores with 8 threads would outperform 6 multithreaded cores.

That’s another topic I haven’t thoroughly researched yet since I plan on getting the cooler with the CPU. I do plan on experimenting with overclocking a good amount to determine its effects on performance. I figured I’d go with a water cooler to be safe as I’ve never experimented with this before.

Yea I'll have to buy the processor last but it's just tough to figure out 8700k vs 9700k because everyone seems to say something different. Anyways, thanks for all your help Omni. You helped out a lot. This is the build I've got so far if you're interested -->...

Hello, I'm new to computer building but I've been debating with friends and researching this topic for the past few days nonstop and can't seem to get an answer. My debate is wether to buy the multithreaded i7-8700k with 6 cores and 12 threads or the i7-9700k with 8 cores but only 8 threads. On...

I’m planning on picking up one part per month so I can study each piece and understand everything cause I’m having a blast learning. I plan on completing the computer in May so I’ll probably make the processor the last thing I buy since they release new CPU’s so often. As far as the CPU goes...

That would be great, thank you. Now as far as the processor goes, do you think I should use an i7-8700k or i7-9700k? I keep reading that hyper threading/thread count is crucial for VR and the 8700k has 6 cores with 12 threads while the 9700k has 8 cores and only 8 threads.

This actually looks exactly like the setup I’ve been looking for. Thank you, I’ll use this as a base as I begin finding parts

I'll be using it primarily for first person shooters through the HTC Pro. I know the pro is much more demanding though which is why I'm cautious about building my own. If I plan on $500 for the 1070ti or 1080 ti alone, I might as well just buy a computer that already has a decent graphics card...

Absolutely. The only thing is that I'm trying to keep it around $1,500 since the HTC Pro setup will be $1,400 alone plus unexpected expenses. I'm also not knowledgeable in this field so I wasn't sure if I'd be able to stick with that budget since that RTX 2700 card would be $500 alone (although...

Hello, So I have been saving up for a VR ready desktop for quite some time now. I want the best experience so I’m willing to put a good amount of money into it. I’ve been searching all over the internet and came up with one computer that seems too perfect to be true...
