My new WoW Killer PC build for 2020

A new year and a new build ready for the new expansion!

Just got the last of the few new computer parts today and just finished putting upgrading my pc!

The biggest change from last year’s (https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/my-new-wow-killer-build/301962) build is the big monitor upgrade! Doesn’t show up well on the camera (washed out and colors off), but looks amazing in person.

Here’s my complete setup:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800x w/DeepCool Castle 360EX AIO
MSI 3070 Ventus 3X OC Edition
Gigabyte 3070 Gaming OC Edition Asus ROG Strix 3090 OC Edition
MSI MEG X570 ACE Mobo Aorus X570 Master Motherboard
16gb 32gb G.Skill TridentZ RGB 3800Mhz CL14 Memory
1TB Samsung 980 Pro NVMe
512GB Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe
2TB WD Blue hard drive
Thermaltake iRGB Plus 1250W Titanium PSU
Lian-Li PC-O11 Dynamic Razer Edition case
48" LG CX OLED 4K 120Hz <1ms G-Sync HDR Monitor
Corsair K70 LUX Fullsize Keyboard (Cherry MX Brown)
Razer Naga Pro Wireless Mouse w/Chroma Dock
Razer Orbweaver Chroma Keypad
Blue Snowball USB Mic
Luxcoms RGB Extended Mouse Pad
Monsoon MM-702 Planar Magnetic Speakers
Micca OriGen G2 DAC (for the speakers)
Monolith THX788 Balanced AMP/DAC (for the headphones)
Audeze LCD-MX4 Headphones (for general pc use)
Hifiman Jade II Electrostatic System (for music listening sessions)
DXRacer RL1 Chair

Some of you may consider the PC overkill for WoW use, but in all honesty it isn’t, these parts is to help drive the 4k@120hz OLED screen. With this PC I barely am able to cap my monitor’s framerate and float between 115-140fps at graphics settings 7 in-game, and this is with two 3070s, as with only one 3070, I only get between 70-90 fps.

Future upgrades I want to do: replace the dual 3070s for a single RTX 3090, This is what I initially wanted but as everyone knows, the 3090s and 3080s sold out asap on launch, but I was fortunate enough to snag two 3070s when those launched a couple weeks later, and thanks to the Shadowlands DX12 Ultimate updates, WoW now supports multi-GPU through DX12 which made it possible to run dual graphic cards without the need for a NVLink/SLI Bridge and still gain a performance upgrade. Also may swap motherboards (Aorus or Asus), as MSI is sorta annoying with their software suite.

Edit:
I decided to change motherboards, I wasn’t happy with the MSI board (software and controls suck) so I swapped over to an X570 Aorus Master:

also here’s a pic of the back:

Lastly, I nabbed a second pair of 16gb G.Skill 3800Mhz CL14 ram (pending shipment), and best of all… I soon can have a single graphic card… I managed to snag a RTX 3090 from Amazon, so I am also awaiting that.

I know some of you may gawk at using a single monitor in 2020, but keep in mind this screen is equivalent to four 27" monitors in a 2x2 arrangement so I can split screen it at anytime if I want a multi-monitor experience:

Lastly, also keep in mind, it’s an oled (self-lit pixels), so that means I could even set up a traditional side-by-side 27" monitor experience and the black bars at the top and/or bottom of my screen will be turned off (so no backlight glow as like with a traditional LCD panel) which means I can set up any other split screen or custom screen arrangement to my liking. Literally this is an awesome perk of such a large screen and it being oled.

That looks amazing - the colours match the display you have also :grin:.

Afraid I am just using my good old Intel Nuc Hades box myself, going strong 2 years on this low end gaming box :slightly_smiling_face:.

I just got your identity, home address and your credit card number off the reflection of you in the window. Looks like you’re sporting a ponytail and you have brown hair.

Seriously though, be careful of reflections in pics. better safe then sorry imo.

16

maybe you should check the reflection again :stuck_out_tongue:

I am conscious of that stuff, so hence the camera slightly angled down of the close up of the case pic, the serial number altered some, reflection tweaked some, address label on one of my vinyl record boxes cropped out, etc. other than the top of my head in the first pic, that’s about as close as you can see :slight_smile: but no face, etc.

17

If you don’t have long hair then you have quite the part in the middle of your head. That’s normally caused by long hair from my experience.

And you only have one toon? I prefer to have ALL my toons on one server/realm.

And are those records on your shelf? That’s what they look like to me. I think the first one is Public Enemy but I could be wrong.

18

Haha, so I’m not the only one noticing it. First thing caught my eye was “yeah, Pepe”, then that Clorox :stuck_out_tongue:

@OP, gratz on the new setup. Have fun! :grinning:
