for budgetary reasons i had to cut down the pair of 8gb ram sticks to a single one

If ur doing the modded Minecraft thing, you might want a bit more than that.
Otherwise meh? PC gaming is all about the GPU. Has been for over a decade.

8gb ram i would describe as "enough" SSD's do improve load times in some games (league/minecraft) but not in others (fallout 4) it has more to do with what needs done. some loads are alot of unpacking and setting up compressed data on the gfx card, and SSD will have no measureable impact. 😦

GFX Card > everything so long as... things are within reason. Like... if you have an i3 or ryzen 1300x+ great! Buf if you have a celeron or something... no so much.

i would stick with nvidia 1060 1660 or higher...

unless your like... just playing minecraft/league/esports

then you can go lower 😮

heres my core parts
GIGABYTE GTX 1050 TI 4GB
AMD RYZEN 3 3200G 4-CORE
CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 8GB SINGLE 3000MHZ

that seems fine

😄

i dont care for ultra graphics i just want to at least run AAA games like cod o doody and battlefield on decent performance

the only reason i would go above the 1050 is because its like targeted at AAA games from 2 years ago when it came out... idk how long it will hold up

but its fine.

especially if you allready have it :p

AAA games are doable if you fenaggle with them a bit

my pc is completely overkill but im not one of those people thats like "Oh you need a 2070+ or gtfo"

for example, EAs battlefront 2 has a 2gb vram minimum to just run
i managed to launch and play some games with only an 1gb vram card

the caveat being at super low graphics, super low frames and either crashes or just inability to load games most of the time

I have a 5930K i7 6core-12 thread CPU running at 4.4ghz
32g Ram
1080ti
with triple 4k monitors and 1 CRT monitor
planar headset
XLR Mic
and about 3000 in studio monitors setup in surround sound 😛

but i dont have any consoles, or a tv, or anything. 100% of my entertainment is in my PC.

thats a bit of overkill indeed

Iwell I way over-spent on audio stuff. because good audio stuff lasts a LONG time.

so as long as you dont over-pay you really cant over-spend on audio at the high end. So long as you do your research and make sure you not just shelling out for a "brand" instead of just good equipment.

well maybe not 3k... quite...

wow okay hold on

thats quite the investment

let me unfuck that link

whatever that link is fine

i have 4 of those

https://www.amazon.com/PreSonus-Eris-Active-Monitor-Single/dp/B014A1C2G4/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=presonus+e66&qid=1565667162&s=gateway&sr=8-1

that one for the center (i got a better deal than these links)

https://www.amazon.com/PreSonus-Temblor-T10-Powered-Subwoofer/dp/B00GRDDM5E/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=presonus+t10&qid=1565667190&s=gateway&sr=8-1 sub

then you need this to clean up the audio signal from the PC since PC soundcards have a ton of noise on the line level

then you need to ground lift them all (like 2 bucks of ground lifting plugs)

+ all the XLR cables and 3.5mm to RCA plugs

+ external soundcard for a volume control

i need a better one of those to get a full effect
