It’s been since 2014 since I built my last computer. At the time I was really into small form factors and mini-itx machines. My current machine has a i7-4790K and GTX-980 on a Asus Z97I-PLUS motherboard with 16 GB of ram. I am getting decent performance playing MMO’s such as World of Warcraft and The Old Republic. I primarily play these types of games on High or Ultra but last few years I have noticed my system struggling to keep up.

I would like to build a new system based around the NZXT aesthetic prioritizing a clean sleek appearance and excellent performance to hopefully get me another 9.5 years of gaming.

Here is the build.

    I never understood this, I use my 3070 with even less VRAM, at 4k resolution in every game I come across. The most I’ve ever had to do was decrease resolution scale to 1440p. High settings, 60fps.

    I can give a huge list of games I play in this setup, but they’re not indie games or anything. I’m talking triple A titles. Obviously I’m not running any of these on a high refresh rate monitor, but 60 fps is completely playable, and if I wanted to I can switch to 1440p low or medium for the 40 extra fps.
