Well, I thought we were set for computes, but turns out that we do need to get two more. Just missed the Black Friday sales, but I don’t think these components are going on sale. Still, this is an incredible machine mainly because of the new SSD that is going in. Really fast and it works well thanks to the new Z170 motherboard. So here is the build at PCPartpicker.com with all the fixings.
This of it as the Christmas list for anyone wanting an incredibly fast air cooled system and thanks to the new copy system there which let’s you hoist HTML and Markdown directly. This is a build that is going to be whisper quiet and very fast. The big splurges are the two SSDs. Most folks will only need one, but having an ultrafast PCI Express NVMe to boost and the very capable SATA Sandisk Extreme is a dream. This is also a 4K monitor build which is fine for development use, but if you are a gamer, then you’d want one of the hot new 144Hz 2550 monitors.
The final real splurge is on a gaming mouse and a mechanical keyboard so that is another area you can dial back on.
