The Samsung 860 Evo is an SSD which contain up to 1TB and will last up to 1.5 million hours. So if you hope of getting this it would last you for a life time. The only problem you would have using this SSD is your limited in space. Using an SSD would last you so much longer than a hard-drive that will only last about 5 years. Not only is the SSD faster but if your trying to make a computer that you move from place to place you would want an SSD. An SSD doesn’t have any moving parts which would break. An SSD is also lighter than a Hard-drive making your case a 1 or 2 pounds lighter.

• Samsung 860 EVO price: $579.98

 
I love this SSD every time I start up my PC it takes less than a second for it to pull up the home screen. I can open games so much quicker on my SSD than my old hardrive I had a month ago. I able to open some of my favorite games like H1Z1 and Rainbow Six Siege instantly.
 
Knowing that this SSD will last me over 1.5 million hours I will just keep it when i build my new PC and save over $200. With the extra $200 I could put that into a video card which would have me speed up my gaming. I could play my gaming with High quality graphics instead of medium quality.

The Devil Canyon is a CPU made by Intel worth over $385.99 for sale. The Devil’s Canyon is so expensive because of it’s performance. The rating for the Devil’s Canyon is 5/5 on New egg and  11191 rating on PassMark. This Card is made more for gaming than casual searching on the internet or basic social conversations.
Using the Devil’s Canyon I was able to play all my favorite games like The Witcher 3, Fallout, Rainbow, and World of Warcraft. With this CPU I was running a steady 60 Fps, perfect for gaming. With an average benchmark of 88.4% which is a good CPU until they release better CPU’s.

This is a review on ECS Intel motherboard Z77 ATX. This motherboard is mainly used for gaming PC’s and can be found on New-egg for $350. It may be an older motherboard but it can play some of the games you play today.

Elitegroup Computer Systems Co. It is the fifth largest PC motherboard manufacturer in the world (after Asus, Gigabyte Technology, ASRock, and MSI), with production reaching 24 million units in 2002(the no longer sell motherboards by their name/ECS, but make motherboards for Asus, Giga, ASRock, and MSI. (ECS Wikipedia)

The ECS Elitegroup Intel Z77 ATX is one of their best motherboard you can probably buy from them. The motherboard has only has DDR3 on it, but works well. Testing this motherboard on games today it doesn’t stand a chance to the new motherboards. It’s not a bad looking motherboard so it would look cool if you have an open case.
 
Specs:

• ATX
• 0″ x 9.6″
• 24 Pin
• LGA 115
• Intel Z77
• DDR3
• PCI Express 3.0 x1
• PCI Express x1
• 2 x PCI Express x1
• 2 x PCI Slots
• 1 x Mini PCIe

 
 

This Motherboard good for normal gaming nothing for high end extreme quality. I would recommend getting this mother board only if you just want to play the game on lower quality. Quality at the minimum would probably be medium on everything thing in the game and shadows low. (Video on Motherboard)
