PC builds

[Windows i7]

Anyone else here build their own PC? Ever since I started using a custom PC I can't stand the idea of simply buying another in a store. Its so much nicer IMO to have a PC that you picked the parts for and assembled.

Current (build from 2014-2015):
Intel Core i7 4790k @ 4.0 GHz with liquid cooling
AMD Radeon R9 Fury X 4 GB HBM with liquid cooling
16 GB 1866 MHz DDR3
512 GB SSD, and 2 TB HDD
Windows 10 Education Edition x64

This isn't just for gaming, though largely it is. It makes a great PC to work with too for obvious reasons. The liquid cooling helps keep the noise (and temps) down even under load.

My current audio production/gaming rig:

AMD Ryzen 1600x, OCed to 4.05GHz
EVGA GTX 1060 6GB
32GB GSkill 2400MHz DDR4
250GB SSD for Windows and essential programs, and 6TB of additional storage for work stuff.
Windows 10 64-bit

In the near future I'd like to upgrade to 64GB of RAM and perhaps throw some extra storage in!

Just half a year ago, I put together the computer I'm using now.

Intel i7-7700k @ 4.2GHz
Gigabyte GTX 1080 8GB
32GB Corsair Vengence DDR4 3000MHz
500GB NVMe Samsung SSD 960 EV) (beautiful drive, incredibly small, physically, amazingly fast)
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Three 1080p monitors

Edit:
@futrchamp Why upgrade to 64GB? Does audio production use an exorbitant amount of RAM? Because I also have 32GB, which is a lot and that I rarely use much of. Even being a bad programmer and making something consume 5GB in about 30 seconds, I didn't go higher than 45% used, haha.

@Zalerinian

Yep, when using realistic orchestral sample libraries, and doing lots of effects/processing etc. RAM usage is huge. A recent track of mine used a combined 49GB of sample data, and when there's not enough RAM to go around, the samples get loaded and swapped from HDD in (hypothetically) real time, which is incredibly slow in practice. So in the future I'd like to have a bit more to speed up my workflow for the incredibly large projects, even though I won't use 64GB in day-to-day scenarios.

That's pretty impressive.

That's pretty impressive.

Thanks, haha. I wasn't sure I would at first, but I actually do use all 3 monitors on a daily basis. Comes in handy when you have several things to look at at one time for work.
