Ultimate PC Configuration - Spring 2017

Okay I've been sick for nearly 3 weeks now with a nasty cold and I haven't blogged in a while. More specifically I visited the doctor and was diagnosed with Acute Sinusitus (deep sinus infection) which caused the whole range of cold-like symptoms. Anyways I'm on antibiotics and on the mend and finally am able to at least get a little bit of work done.

Here's an expert enthusiast hardware configuration for an Extreme Performance Gaming PC with some of the most current and best rated hardware components:

Computer case:
Thermaltake Core P7 TG
=   $ 450.00

Power supply:
ThermalTake Toughpower DPS G RGB Gold Modular Power Supply, 850W
=   $ 240.00

Processor:
Intel Core i7-7700K 4.5GHz Quad-Core Kaby Lake Processor
=    $ 500.00

Motherboard:
ASUS ROG Strix Z270E Gaming LGA1151 Kaby Lake DDR4
=  $ 280.00

Memory:
Trident Z RGB Series DDR4 3866 RAM Kit w/ RGB LED Lighting, 32GB (4x 8GB)
=    $ 680.00

Video card:
Nvidia GeForce Titan X Pascal 12GB DDR5X 1600MHz
=   $ 1500.00

Storage:
Samsung 960 PRO NVMe M.2 PCIe x4 SSD, 2TB Solid State Drive (3500 MB/s)
=   $ 1900.00

Monitor:
Acer Predator X34 34in Curved UltraWide QHD IPS LED Gaming Monitor w/ G-SYNC 100Hz
=  $ 1700.00

That covers the core basic components needed to build a kick-ass PC Gaming rig. I don't cover the extra peripherals such as keyboards, mice, speakers, or headsets etc. There's such a diverse range of awesome over-the-top peripherals that it just comes down to preference. I'll leave you to judge what the best of those are. However with the base components, it is usually less difficult to determine what is the top-of-the-line and bleeding-edge.
