mofailed999 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Hello I'm having trouble copy/pasting here & the links wont copy paste here either so bear with me. My question is can anyone recommend a pc that will give me a high quality skyrim. I mean a lot of large graphical mods with enb ect. I have about £1200 to spend but have no idea what to get or where to look. I have been looking at this recently would it be any good? (deleted the link) Edit:ok so the link tab above wont work & for some reason I cant copy/paste here either.What's up with that btw? The pc I have been looking at is called : Freshtech intel skylake i7 6700k 2tb 16gb ddr4,gtx 980ti 6gb silent computer gaming pc gigabyte z170x-gaming 5 motherboard 16gb corsair vengeance lpx ddr4 3000mhz performance ram nvidea gforce gtx 980ti 6gb vr ready corsair cx6800 80 plus bronze certified 600w power supply 2tb Seagate barracuda sata 6gb/s 64mb 7200rpm. It is on amazon.co.uk.Its all mumbo jumbo to me but its part of the description given on amazon.co.uk. Can any one advise please? Bearing in mind that there is talk of a 64bit skyrim pc update coming later this year. I have never seen ultra mode on my computer or high quality shadows & don't even use the dlc high quality texures because my current computer just reduces to unplayable fps. I'm talking 10fps. :confused: yup. Edit: Any one from England can advise me please? Edited June 22, 2016 by mofailed999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasPetz Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 That's a very nice PC. If you have the technical knowledge I would suggest that you bought each part individually and build the PC yourself, you'll save 100+ pounds. Also, do it fast. GBP has been dropping like crazy and it will propably affect the price of hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niphilim222 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) Your power supply is under powered for that ti of yours, 1000watt or more is recommended to that gpu, power consumption 500watts. Even i am having power draw issues with my older 1000Watt antec psu with such a setup. I may need to upgrade myself before i get my https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-GTX-980Ti-ZT-90503-10P/dp/B00Z9D1AIE/ref=sr_1_8?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1466651435&sr=1-8&keywords=gtx+980ti Yup under 500$...

FMod Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 The 980 Ti won't tax a 1000W PSU unless you overvolt and LN2 it, and then 99% of the 980 Ti's will just die if you do to such high power draw. That said, all store builds are built to the same min-max principle: maximize the bits that go into the description, then save as much as possible on absolutely everything else. But unless you can build your own PC or have superstores that build arbitrary PCs for you at a fixed labor cost (most everywhere that doesn't rely on mailing everything like North America has them), you have limited choice.Generally, a SSD is very important for Skyrim, so lacking it is a flaw.

niphilim222 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) Everything in your system uses that power supply, like leds lighting and all other components such as hard drives, fans and other devices like controllers use that gpu of yours. Its a power supply for the entire system. You got to be careful to what requirements are. A system like that would fail if you over tax that gpu. http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator Edited June 25, 2016 by niphilim222 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMod Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Everything but the CPU and the GPU uses virtually nothing - probably 1 watt for all the LEDs combined, 10W or less for each HDD, about 2-4W for each SSD. Most online power calculators give a considerable power headroom, due to their originally being designed by PSU makers. Even so, if you plug his PC into this calculator, you get a 500W recommended PSU. That doesn't mean the CX600 is good for that build - it will get noisy and it won't let one overclock. But other than that, it will work. Of course people who build white box PC have the choice to go for quality parts.I'm just not sure if the OP has that choice, although it's pretty easy nowadays.

niphilim222 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I had experience with failing PSU's from over taxing its output, to cover all pci 16x lanes need allot of power to be covering all that raw horsepower of that gpu. The ti's recommend 600watts of power to cover all bases. Especially with a sli setup i might do in the future, you need more wattage to push that gpu or it'll glitch out or fail, i had that happen before. never get a pci 16x sound card, use on board that comes with that gpu or otherwise. Just a small advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMod Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 The CX600 is a 600W PSU. I'm not aware of any PCI-E 16x sound card ever being released. There are a few PCI-E 1x ones and they generally work very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niphilim222 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Creative sound blaster is a 16x sound card. This is the model i own. https://www.amazon.ca/Blaster-Performance-Headphone-Forming-Microphone/dp/B009ISU33E/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1466970387&sr=8-3&keywords=creative+sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
