I was wondering if anyone uses Second Life and what would be your ultimate pc build for it?
I have been a 'content creator' in SL for many years, my pc runs it well spec bellow:-
Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H-BK Intel LGA1150 Z97 (5 year warranty) (this system board has been rock solid so far, I never believe in skimping on system boards)
i5 4670k cpu mild overclock to 4 gig
Be Quiet BK018 Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler (in my opinion the best air cooler) the cpu runs about 48 centigrade in second life and about 32 tops when just using the net etc! (highest core)
HyperX FURY Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3 1866 MHz
MSI NVIDIA GTX 970 Gaming (standard apart from the fan speed upped a bit, thermal shock cracks lead free solder! fans can be replaced!)
Plextor PX-G128M6E 128GB M.2 PCI Express SSD (for os drive) (the write speed on this is rather slow, I got it when they were new hardly any other options on the market at the time)
Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB 2.5 inch Solid State Drive (data Drive) (sl cache is on this drive)
Asus Xonar Essence STX sound card (I already had this sound card from my last pc, I never tried the on board sound)
Also i have a big atx case that helps to keep things very cool!:- Cooler Master SGC-5000-KWN1 Trooper
Windows 7 Pro (nope i don't want win 10 at the moment, I am on the insider program and for this pc i just won't touch win 10)
I was toying a while back with getting a GTX 980 TI but due to Second life's graphics engine not really taking advantage of any of the modern extras the cards are now capable of i didn't see any point.
