B if you ask me. I'll take that pcie ssd and a 1080.

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts

A tad less GHz...

I don't know much though. Hence the post.

Why do you need all that CPU power? What are you going to do with it? Now I'm guessing you want to play games so I know exactly what you will do with all that GPU power.

Games. The playstation just isn't doing it for me anymore. I haven't had a good computer since my old xps and want to get back into it while not have to upgrade again right away. Think this one is worth it/will get what I want done?

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts

The more powerful GPU more than compensates for the lower performing CPU.

What's your objective with it?

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts

Think its too much for a casual computer person?

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts

I want it to handle any game I throw at it at maxed out specs (I'd like to get back into pc gaming). I want it to last a while before I have to upgrade again.

Trick question... Both are intel chipsets therefore neither is superior.

AMD?

No way man... Check out the brand new Libility by GUL

the raid 0 on b will cost you dearly.

the moment either hard drive fails, or the motherboard dies, you loose everything on both raid 0 drives. if they were normal mounted or in raid 1, then you could remove each drive and recover your files. raid 1 the system will still work when a single drive dies.

Or if you're spending the money anyway, go for 4(+) drives and put them in RAID 10 and get the best of both worlds ... Speed plus security.

true, raid 10 is the best option, also can easily drive the cost of the comptuer up another grand easily. My personal preference is not to chase the bleeding edge of performance, but to pick parts that total ~$1000 not including hard drives or disc drives, because those could be moved from previous builds into an new one, or try out a newer WD Gold network level drive, or one of the many nvme ssd drives with however many gb/s read and write speeds.

my main thing against a raid 0 was i built one with 4 samsung baracudda drives to out speed an ssd at 800 MB/s read and write. that computer i spilled a soda on, and fried nearly everything on the computer. i had to track down a motherboard to read the data from those drives because the raid chip used was only on that version of the board. that computer sat for 2 years while i waited for one to show up on ebay. Then i had to rebuild that computer part by part just to get it to boot up, then transfer my files to a backup external, then a direct copy to a wd gold drive.

I learned my lesson, NEVER USE raid 0, consider raid 1 if worried about any part of a system.

he was talking to you!

I see how it is. You think I don't know my hardware?

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

You know more than me. Aou knows more than you. Nothing wrong with that

On PC hardware, I'm not sure I think we are probably pretty even at least when it comes to specs. Quick what was the Clock speed of the first mac plus CPU? No cheating and looking it up.
