I don't know of an easy way to load the drive controller drivers into Window's HAL and retain the Windows installation. I've been using Acronis' Universal Restore. I've used move production Windows installs to different hardware, including HDD, SSD, M.2 NVMe, and PCIe NVMe on Windows 7, 10, and Servers 2008, 2012.

Windows just need the drive controller drivers to boot into Windows. After that, you can install what ever hardware drivers you want.

^ Ironic that you have a family clock, which can be taken as "Family Time", above your gaming station...

Other than that, your setup looks good.

Bottleneck also depends on the game. If it is coded to for multi-threaded use or not.

Typically, an i5 will be enough not to be a bottleneck.

and i3 will not run some games that require a quad core requirement, let alone being the bottleneck.

In short, an i7 will not be a bottleneck for gaming.

Intel 3000 series chip was released back in 2012... That chip is quite old. However, technically on paper, it won't be a bottleneck unless you run modern games at the highest settings.

What some people misunderstand is that you also need CPU power, along with GPU power, to run modern games at decent quality. Also, check your motherboard. Around the same time when Intel 3000 series chip was released, PCIe 3.0 was becoming the new standard. If your MB doesn't support PCIe 3.0, you're bottlenecking the video card at the motherboard level.

You're throwing in a ~$500 video card into a 5 year old computer. Short answer is yes, your computer will run. I would consider upgrading the computer also...

I have a Asus P8Z77 WS ... it looks like it has PCIe 3.0. So that's a bonus but I would like to run modern games on higher settings which is why i was wondering..

I saw. Looks tempting and a decent deal. But I don't want to spend much more then I already am on the 1070..

Slapped my 7700K in.

Currently testing it's OC limits. So far, it seems to require far less voltage than my 6700K did.

last I checked, even the fastest card cannot saturate PCIe 2.0 x16 so one should run into CPU bottleneck way before this is even a concern

I would certainly give it a try...anything onwards from 2011 (Intel Sandy Bridge) are still very much relevant.

7700K, 5GHz, 1.265v



Doing some more benchmarking right now.

Temperatures with a NZXT Kraken X62 in a Fractal Design Core 500 miTX. Could be even lower if I used a mid-tower.

possible to do a beginner pc build for around $500? Or should I just start collecting parts? Not in a rush, and I want to build something that will be eventually 4k capable.

possible with new parts, but ram and SSD are damn expensive these days.

btw 4K video or 4K gaming, that will make a big difference.

Would $1000 get me 4k gaming? I want just for video, but having it gaming ready would be nice.

For 4k gaming the graphics card will take up most of that budget. For 4k video Intel integrated GPU in its new CPU will have no problems with 4k video.

the 7th gen cpu should handle 4k no problem with the integrated GPU

but memory and ssd skyrocketed up in price recently

Anyone have any experience with the Dell U3415W? I'm thinking of using 1 ultrawide for my home office + laptop instead of 2 monitors + laptop. Trying to save some deskspace.

Currently using a U2412m and was going to pick up a 2nd once I split my office/gaming setup.

Mostly will be using it for programming and editing photos.

Edit: actually might just get a 2nd U2412m. I do use OSX's spaces in my workflow a lot and like how each monitor has a different set of desktops. Not sure how that would work with just one big monitor
