Hi All,
I searched around the forums and i didn't come across what i should be aiming for hardware wise in a computer.
I am pretty new to the emu community and i am currently about to rebuild a PC for my cabinet. I am unsure as to what to use. I have 3 extra gaming PC's at home not being used much, all 3 have an SSD somewhere between 240-1000gb and at least one HD. The video cards vary from a EVGA 770 to 1070. All have at least 16 gb of ram. Each has a k processor and all are running overclocked.
I am leaning towards using the PC with a 770 GTX in it as that case is a huge NZXT case and will easily accommodate 4 hds. I can rebuild into that cabinet but i want to have the best functioning system possible. So, will it make a big difference if i use a 1070 vs. a 770? I think the base specs for all 3 pcs are fairly similar in the builds other than the video cards, maximus boards, Samsung ssd's, corsair ram.
Next am i better off running Windows 10 or Windows 7?
And much storage space should i add? I figure i can fit 4 HD's in my NZXT Phantom case but if i install 4 - 6-10 gb HD's will it all still function OK and is it needed? I want to have as many games as possible with it still running smooth.
