#

why are we getting so many fans for the p400a

#

you might want another for exhaust

crimson scroll
#

but past that it's kinda pointless

devout wolf
#

they're sickleflows, better fans than the mf120r's

crimson scroll
#

there's no bottom intake

#

so you're gonna put those fans at the top

ebon jolt
#

Are PCs powerful enough to play next gen console games or will we have to wait? Sorry I’m not that well educated on PCs.

crimson scroll
#

and putting it in the first slot at the top actually will reduce your cooling potential

#

since it'll suck cold air from the intakes up and out

#

@ebon jolt short answer, yes

#

pricing tbd, we don't really know how powerful the next gen consoles are

#

but the next generation of gpus is coming out soon and those will 100% match or surpass console power, or i'll eat a sock

#

generally console games and hardware is more optimized, but not more powerful

ebon jolt
#

Oh cool lol

noble oak
#

i added the fans you suggested, so other than that everything is good, right?

crimson scroll
#

i still think you don't need the extra fans

#

maybe one extra 120mm as exhaust

#

alternatively, save that $50 on the fans, buy the p500a over the p400a, get one extra 140mm exhaust fan

devout wolf
#

wow the p500a is wider than it looks

crimson scroll
#

it's technically dual system compatible

#

you probably shouldn't use it, but that's probably why

#

it also has like an inch of room on the back panel

devout wolf
crimson scroll
#

the top fan near the front is badddd

noble oak
#

thank you guys for the advice!

crimson scroll
#

np

#

but now i can point people at it

devout wolf
#

brrr

hearty ravine
crimson scroll
#

it sucks!

hearty ravine
#

thanks

crimson scroll
#

alright jk gonna look at it now

devout wolf
crimson scroll
#

you don't have a gpu

#

listed

hearty ravine
#

oh forgot to add it back in LUL

crimson scroll
#

see i was right, it sucks

hearty ravine
#

going 2 get a 2070 super

devout wolf
#

overpriced aio ahem what

crimson scroll
#

no rafee i promised

#

no insulting

hearty ravine
#

no its ok i want like actual feedback LUL

unborn kiln
#

AIO only good for looks

crimson scroll
#

you said your budget was around 2k?

hearty ravine
#

i was going to get a fractal AIO but im trying to avoid ordering online as much as possible

crimson scroll
#

@unborn kiln not entirely

devout wolf
#

evga clc
ek aio
arctic freezer ii

crimson scroll
#

and i assume this build is for editing stuff

#

any particular software?

naive dagger
#

Lmao the temperature is bi

unborn kiln
#

@unborn kiln not entirely
@crimson scroll You can get a better preforming one for cheaper
Arctic freezer for example

#

Performance is pretty good tho

devout wolf
#

at least it's not z series

hearty ravine
#

its actually not for editing im going to end up streaming but dont want to deal with a 2 pc set up

crimson scroll
#

oh i thought you meant AIOs in general were useless

#

i concur that the kraken lineup isn't great perf/price

devout wolf
#

its actually not for editing im going to end up streaming but dont want to deal with a 2 pc set up
two pc set ups are getting pretty meh now that h.264 is evolving

#

and nvenc

unborn kiln
#

Yeah
AIOs are def useful in certain cases

hearty ravine
#

i dont understand anything you just said rafee

#

:]

crimson scroll
#

the sn750 jumped in price again 😦

devout wolf
#

so basically

crimson scroll
#

he's talking about encoding

hearty ravine
#

oh ok

#

i know 0 about the technical aspects of what makes a pc good, i just kind of go "oh this expensive? must be at least ok then"

naive dagger
#

Lmao

hearty ravine
#

and considering my budget is phat im just throwing money at stuff

crimson scroll
#

ehhhh....

#

do you care about rgb

hearty ravine
#

yes

#

LOL

crimson scroll
#

you want rgb?

mellow ferry
#

same klex, same

crimson scroll
#

or don't want it

hearty ravine
#

i want it, i want the most rainbow everywhere

devout wolf
#

isn't steel legend always somehow worse than pro4?

crimson scroll
#

ok

hearty ravine
#

i also want to be able to turn it off

#

so

devout wolf
#

wonder if it's the same this time

unborn kiln
#

@hearty ravine
If you are doing videos
For long term storage I would probably get a hard drive
Unless you have a NAS or something

devout wolf
#

tfw Pro4 looks more like Steel Legend than Steel Legend

hearty ravine
#

i already have several hard drives & ssds

#

i just want an nvme ssd

unborn kiln
#

Cool

#

Ok

#

Not really a fan of Fractal Design cases
Built in a few before

crimson scroll
#

all these 2070s don't have prices and i'm too lazy to find them all

naive dagger
#

Nvme is faster and smaller

crimson scroll
#

@noble oak SATA and NVME are data protocols

unborn kiln
#

whats the difference between a normal ssd and an nvme im an idiot
@noble oak Basically NVMe is faster

crimson scroll
#

m.2 is a form factor

devout wolf
#

i think your pcpp is bugged

#

Gaming OC 3X is $533

#

EVGA XC is $540

crimson scroll
devout wolf
#

ayy gaming oc

crimson scroll
#

now, if you wanted FULL RGB then we go with the EK AIO 360 over the arctic liquid

unborn kiln
crimson scroll
#

and i would also slap on a 140mm exhaust fan

#

it gives you the option for more RGB

devout wolf
#

i love the arctic freezer ii but the block looks like a sock kekwBounce

crimson scroll
#

and also more cooling i guess lol

naive dagger
#

What’s the best gpu that the Ryzen 5 3600 wouldn’t bottleneck

hearty ravine
#

you did that so fast

crimson scroll
#

I took some of what you already had

devout wolf
#

What’s the best gpu that the Ryzen 5 3600 wouldn’t bottleneck
at what resolution/refresh rate?

naive dagger
#

1080p 144hz

devout wolf
#

i mean once you turn rtx on even a 2080ti will bottleneck the 3600

crimson scroll
#

how soon are you buying klexos

unborn kiln
#

@naive dagger Budget?

hearty ravine
#

hopefully in twoish months, depends on if anything comes up

naive dagger
#

I’m being hypothetical

hearty ravine
#

might be buying a house so if i do then pc takes a back seat

crimson scroll
#

that list will likely be outdated by then so come on back

unborn kiln
#

Personally I wouldn't worry too much about a bottleneck on the 3600 @naive dagger

naive dagger
#

K cool

#

I’m not anywhere near upgrading, just wondering

hearty ravine
#

absolutely insane, ty saucy

crimson scroll
#

np

unborn kiln
#

What do you currently have?

I’m not anywhere near upgrading, just wondering
@naive dagger

crimson scroll
#

depends on the configuration and price @noble oak

unborn kiln
#

is the helios 300 a good gaming laptop
@noble oak Why laptop
Do you need portability?

crimson scroll
#

acer's site is trash

naive dagger
#

Ryzen 5 3600, rog rx 570 8gb, 16gb ddr4 2400 MHz ram (;-;) asrock b450 fatal1ty mobo, evga 500w psu,

crimson scroll
#

bunch of marketing, no way to actually build and buy

naive dagger
#

Then some storage

#

Saucy should unblock me 😪

devout wolf
#

wait why is that list so overpriced

crimson scroll
#

it's only a million bucks

#

seems fair

naive dagger
#

Lmaooo

unborn kiln
#

Wtf is going on with those lists😂

crimson scroll
#

for a gaming laptop, it seems okay @noble oak

#

low on storage though, you'll want to swap it out

#

i don't know how it stacks up against other gaming laptops either

#

not my area of expertise

#

i like shape_ideal's pc

#

the 1200 one i looked at has a 1660ti

unborn kiln
#

@noble oak Whats you budget?

#

Id probably do that

if i spend 100$ over the budget than i can probably get the model with an rtx 2070 and a 240hz screen
@noble oak

devout wolf
#

i like shape_ideal's pc
@crimson scroll he got the x370 pro4 for $83 :p

#

and it came flashed with 3rd gen bios

#

talk about lucky

crimson scroll
#

nice

devout wolf
#

sheesh the ram price shot up too lmao

crimson scroll
#

remember when you could get the sn750 for $120

devout wolf
#

it's gone D:

crimson scroll
#

it's back up to 169

#

at which point i'd just get the 970 evo plus

devout wolf
#

i found something pretty interesting on amazon once

#

it was a wd SN730 240gb, for like $42

#

seemed to be an OEM SN750

crimson scroll
#

makes sense

#

the laptops i get as hand me downs all have pm851 or similar

#

which is the enterprise oem evo 860 i think

devout wolf
#

hah they're cute

unborn kiln
#

I am thinking of building a NAS system
I am a proud Data Hoarder

crimson scroll
#

this is the best part of building pcs

#

you get random screwdrivers that are nicer than half the screwdrivers you find at menards

#

even comes pre-magnetized

devout wolf
#

i have that same screwdriver pOg

#

comes with cooler?

crimson scroll
#

with the fuma 2 yep

devout wolf
#

i like your keyboard

#

Uh probably the wrong spot. Hi I am looking at buying a desk I am really really really wanting one w/ cabinets. I found a perfect one on Ikea but it is 29 inches tall and that is way to short, anyone have any ideas? The desk in the picture is the one I have been lookin' for. I could probably go to a cabinet on just one side, but think I'd rather both because it looks better

devout wolf
#

you could just buy two ALEX drawers and your own wood for a countertop

golden hamlet
#

ALEX drawers, are really short still.

#

I had thought about that.

devout wolf
#

oh nvm this is an ALEX LINNMON

spare egret

golden hamlet
#

Sorry, Rafee, I might have worded it weird. I am searching for Taller, as I am a taller dude.

devout wolf

that's not supposed to happen

#

golden hamlet
#

Haha yeah that seemed to be the issue, either too tall, or too small. couldn't find that happy medium

golden hamlet
#

yes that is what i need

mellow ferry

#

thx for the help

#

u deserve to be staff

crimson scroll
#

that's...not how that works

#

please don't create random hypotheticals, it takes away from people who actually need help

spare egret
#

srry

#

but I might get one

devout wolf
#

...

#

don't get a 2080 either

crimson scroll
#

you might get a 2080 that has a fan out...

#

devout wolf
#

Oh rip

forest heart
#

is it ok to put a normal fan into the cpu fan plug

median rivet
#

A case fan?

crimson scroll
#

you could, but then you'll have to plug the cpu fan somewhere else

#

unless you have a passively cooled cpu

mellow ferry
#

any fan? what about a ceiling fan?

crimson scroll
#

the only way it wouldn't work is if you have a six pin argb fan

#

if it's 3 or 4 pin pwm then it will work

forest heart
#

you could, but then you'll have to plug the cpu fan somewhere else
@crimson scroll i have 2 cpu cooler plugs

crimson scroll
#

CPU_fan and CPU_opt probably

#

or something along those lines

forest heart
#

it says

#

cpu fan1

#

cpu fan2

#

lol

crimson scroll
#

usually one for fans and one for pump

#

or your motherboard may just be accounting for multi-fan cooling setups without fan splitters

forest heart
#

But can i plug it in there

devout wolf
#

yes

#

they're the same pinout as system fan headers

civic apex
#

Is 8gb enough?

#

Of ram

median rivet
#

I'd say no for newer titles

molten basalt
#

try to go for 16gb

#

Anyone switch from a g502 hero to the rival 600? Good or bad switch? I'm getting the double clicking issue on the g502, second mouse replacement. I'm done with logitech.

#

@ ping me if you have a response. Muting.

naive dagger
#

Rival 600 is more ergonomic

#

Obvs more rgb, if you care about that

#

Fewer buttons

#

I have friends who’ve switched and preferred it

#

@nocturne kite

nocturne kite
#

Ok thanks

#

Amy common issues anyone have with the rival 600?

noble oak
#

id say the side grips falling off

#

or moving out of place

#

otherwise ive had zero problems with it

#

and you can buy replacement side grips

solar isle
#

Would anyone be able to help me figure out the parts for a pc meant for streaming, gaming, and illustration work? I have a budget of 800 for the tower itself, as well as camera and mic.

#

I may also have more funds come October to upgrade the tower so I can afford to cheap out until then. I just want to be able to play games at 1080p or higher without frame loss

crimson scroll
#

Usd?

#

And by illustration work do you just mean photoshop/gimp/illustrator or more rendering

crimson scroll
#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Rcph4n well you never answered, but i would sell the mobo and cpu together and get a 3700x once you have more funds. Then work on upgrading the PSU, then GPU. That would be my upgrade path, while throwing in a hard drive when you need more storage for your art/games

devout wolf
#

wow the b550 hdv is not bad as i thought

#

3 phases but same mosfets as b450m-vdh v1

#

actually wait

#

one of the mosfets

devout wolf
#

why does the microATX one have better IO lmfao

@atomic dust lemme look one up for you, what's your budget?

atomic dust
#

my pc rn is 1500$

#

idc rlly about budget

devout wolf
#

you only need like 550w, get a better 550w power supply instead of a 700w that lacks protections

atomic dust
#

but id make it 1600-1800

devout wolf
#

that's good

hollow glacier
#

ok

#

wiat look at my whole build just to make sure the powersupply is good enough

#

its more of a workstation

#

does anyone know the price?

devout wolf
#

2060s should be cheaper

#

maybe like 10%

noble oak
#

and also, internal storage is extremely cheap rn for some reason

hollow glacier

is it true that newweg has no tax in texas

devout wolf
#

but shoot up instantly

noble oak
#

@atomic dust they are announcing today, so keep and eye out

red shale
#

budget around 350

noble oak
#

maybe like 10%
@devout wolf 40$ off a 400$ gpu, good enough lmao

atomic dust
#

uhh how much will the 3090 cost?

devout wolf
#

and also, internal storage is extremely cheap rn for some reason
that reason is oversupply of NAND, it's affecting RAM prices too

noble oak
#

@red shale rx 5700 possibly

#

@atomic dust they are announcing today, so keep an eye out

atomic dust
#

oh.

#

great.

median rivet
#

Money is money

devout wolf
#

@devout wolf 40$ off a 400$ gpu, good enough lmao
yeah that's fine

median rivet
#

People will be selling old cards on ebay too

atomic dust
#

probably like 500-700$

median rivet
#

Perfectly fine to buy

devout wolf
#

probably like 500-700$
not even close

noble oak
#

@devout wolf im debating, should i get the rx 5700xt or keep my 2060 super

devout wolf
#

it will be over $1200

atomic dust
#

WOT

unborn kiln
#

@red shale Id say looking within 2060/70

devout wolf
#

@devout wolf im debating, should i get the rx 5700xt or keep my 2060 super
5700xt isn't that much of an upgrade from the 2060S, i'd say keep your 2060 super

atomic dust
#

what will be like in the 700 range?

devout wolf
#

WOT
@atomic dust the 2080Ti was $1200

noble oak
#

@devout wolf but its cheaper lmao

red shale
#

@red shale Id say looking within 2060/70
@unborn kiln ok thx

devout wolf
#

no one knows

noble oak
#

the 5700xt was like 350 at microcenter

#

i got my 2060s for like 430

devout wolf
#

just wait 2.5 hours for the official announcement

atomic dust
#

like my enitre tablet costs allmost 1200$

hollow glacier
#

devout wolf
#

@atomic dust wait you're in germany?

atomic dust

noble oak
#

@red shale not unless you steal it KEKG

median rivet
#

Feelsbad when the gpus in america will be $1200, but also £1200 which is $1600 equivalent

red shale
#

lol

devout wolf
unborn kiln
#

@red shale Could possibly go for the 5700 xt aswell

atomic dust
#

its there

#

theres a german parts picker?

devout wolf
#

yes

atomic dust
#

Total: €1493.43

#

eh

allready done

#

under 1500

devout wolf
#

i have to change some parts since pricing in countries are different

atomic dust
#

good.

#

2 of the items are not avalible here

devout wolf
#

uhm could you send your list back here i'm too lazy to scroll

atomic dust
#

M.2 drive and the PSU

median rivet
#

Should I bump myself up to 32GB of ram with this drop in price?

#

I've got 4x4s atm so I'd have to buy 2x16s straight up

hollow glacier

noble oak
#

gaming

hollow glacier
#

it does not show me the tax on newweg

devout wolf
#

noble oak
#

occasionally streaming- but definitely not focused on streaming, no

red shale
#

bro where it says sub total

devout wolf
#

okay

noble oak
#

or content creation in general

red shale
#

it should be there

hollow glacier
#

yeah

#

but its the same as the grand total

noble oak
#

@hollow glacier just multiply the subtotal by 0.0825

#

check dms

hollow glacier
#

i dont think every store has the same tax rdhanekula

red shale
#

bro its not goping to be over that tho so just try

noble oak
#

@hollow glacier check dms

devout wolf
#

@noble oak oh and last question, what games are you going to be playing?

noble oak

devout wolf

noble oak
#

noble oak
#

#

for the whole thing

naive dagger

how much have you allocated for the monitor then

red shale
#

what peripherals are you planning on getting like keyboard mouse mousepad and headset

naive dagger

so what's the context of that build?

any reason we're going 2600

devout wolf

overbudget with 3600 ; - ;

#

actually wait

#

yeah with 3600 it crosses $1200

crimson scroll

not rlly

noble oak

if you want compare

atomic dust

yea

#

send me your list

atomic dust

i have a 9

but some parts are identical

#

what card should i get

noble oak
#

9?

atomic dust
#

3070 or 3080

#

ryzen 9

#

3600x

noble oak
#

oh

atomic dust
#

either a 3070 or a 3080

noble oak
#

i dont think you sent the latest list

atomic dust
#

okay?

noble oak
#

it shows ryzen 7 3700x

atomic dust
noble oak
#

i think you should go with the 3080 if it is in your price range

atomic dust
#

yea

#

im gonna

#

its only 63 eur and some cents over my budget

#

so i dont really care

#

so its gonna come out september 17?

noble oak
#

idk

atomic dust
#

yup

sour onyx
#

Yo, so i plan on making a pc or just straight up buying it, just a question, is the intel core i5 9600k a good cpu?

devout wolf
#

nope

#

9th gen intel is a meme

median rivet
#

Intel is a meme in general

devout wolf
#

debatable

#

10th gen has some great cpus

median rivet
#

I was gonna strip my 9600k to a 9900k because I don't want to blow money on a new motherboard too but people just trash on the 9900k these days

noble oak
#

@devout wolf sorry for the ping but, as for the parts you suggested, should I worry about fans?

devout wolf
#

not really, you can move one of the included fans to the back for neutral pressure

atomic dust
#

hey rafee

#

should i get the new 3080?

devout wolf
#

sure, it's an amazing deal

atomic dust
#

definetly

#

only like

#

185 euro differnence

#

and its only 63 euro and some cents over my budget

#

with your parts list

#

thank you my brotha

whole lagoon
#

should i sell my 2070s for big navi or ampere

atomic dust
#

ampere

#

get that 3080 or a 2070

median rivet
#

Sell your 20 series GPUs as fast as you can - They're dead

devout wolf
#

rip 2080ti damn

median rivet
#

What kind of psus are gonna be needed for a 3080 you reckon

#

850?

noble oak
#

ok LAST thing I need is a cheap desk. suggestions? This might be the wrong place to ask but oh well

noble oak
#

should i get the rtx 3070 when it comes out or the 3080?

crimson scroll
#

wait for benchmarks

#

and also, depends on your budget

median rivet
#

Seeing as some of you lot are smarter than me - Does having PCIE 3 on my motherboard mean I'll get less performance than on PCIE 4 for the 30 series? Seeing as they use PCIE 4? Or does it mean it's completely unusable

devout wolf
#

less performance

#

pcie devices are cross compatible across versions

#

only difference being bandwidth

median rivet
#

Saving grace - So basically it's still worth getting a 30 series without upgrading my motherboard first?

devout wolf
#

but tbh

#

i think only 3090 will utilize 4.0

#

the others will support 4.0 but i don't think there will be much of a drop in perf on 3.0

median rivet
#

I guess we'll find out when reviewers get ahold of them

devout wolf
#

mhm

#

waiting on benchmarks

surreal zealot
#

Can anyone help me?

tall cove

depends

devout wolf
#

don't ask to ask, just ask your question

crimson scroll
#

The answer is yes, someone can help you

#

is that someone here? who knows!

my budget is $1400-1500 but can go over if i get a good deal

Why is it yellow

mellow ferry

should i get the rtx 3070 when it comes out or the 3080?
@noble oak how much are they?

devout wolf
#

$499 and $699 respectively

noble oak
#

the rtx 3070 is $499

devout wolf
#

for the FE variants

noble oak
#

yeah

median rivet
#

Is there much point to get the 3080 over the 70

noble oak
#

i am planning on getting the 2070 s rn but i just wanna listen to y'alls opinion

lusty apex
#

i would say the 3070 because its cheaper and you can spend the rest on other things

noble oak
#

yeah

#

and it allegedly has better performance than the 2080ti

lusty apex
#

you probably cant see a difference between the 2 but then again ive never seen both in action

dusky crag
#

i’m trying to build a pc as the new rtx are coming out so can someone explain to me what this means

devout wolf
#

don't really have to worry about that now but at the same time, do not get 9th gen intel, period.

dusky crag
#

why not

crimson scroll
#

because it's outdated

#

unless you can get it for the right price

dusky crag
#

so what should i get instead

devout wolf
#

10th gen intel

crimson scroll
#

a 9900k is about equal to the 10700k, so it's not a bad chip

devout wolf
#

or ryzen

crimson scroll
#

but for the price, meh

#

what's your budget and use case

devout wolf
#

depends on what you're doing

dusky crag
#

2 - 2.5k

crimson scroll
#

usd?

dusky crag
#

yea

crimson scroll
#

okay and use case

dusky crag
#

what’s case

devout wolf
#

what are you going to be using the pc for

crimson scroll
#

what are you going to be using the computer for

dusky crag
#

Oh i’m using my pc for gaming, streaming and editing mostly

#

but basically content creating

crimson scroll
#

or put in a 2080ti, they're going for around 5-600 used right now

devout wolf
#

freezer ii PogU

#

btw you can get amazing deals on EVGA CLCs if you yoink them at midweek madness

crimson scroll
#

yuck

#

loud af

devout wolf
#

true lol

#

they still perform well tho

dusky crag
#

wait is intel or amd better

crimson scroll
#

depends on what you're doing

#

for your use case, generally amd

#

if you're just gaming, or certain applications like premiere (depending on your price range), intel

dusky crag
#

also the 3090 is not much better than the 3080 right?

crimson scroll
#

we don't know

#

i wouldn't buy until we get third party reviews

#

and also stock will be limited

#

you have good options for the gpu slot right now honestly

dusky crag
#

so i should wait for reviews on 3080

crimson scroll
#

on all the new cards, yeah

dusky crag
#

do they eventually restock or no

crimson scroll
#

well, yeah

#

how do you think they make money

dusky crag
#

😂

crimson scroll
#

also rdna2 comes out supposedly november, but if the 3000 cards are good, there's not really a point to waiting

dusky crag
#

ty for your help

crimson scroll
#

3080 will be available 9/17, 3070 available in October, and 3090 available 9/24

#

so around two weeks wait, if you manage to get one of the launch cards

#

and review embargo should be lifted before then

dusky crag
#

ok

crimson scroll
#

it looks like it's 3.5 slots at minimum

naive dagger
#

Geez

#

Very thicc

echo zealot
#

something to rest your drink on while gaming

#

also does it seriously have that stupid screen on it for temps?

unborn kiln
#

I think the screen is pretty cool
Nice addition, I am sure you could turn it off

#

I would love to know my gpu temps in game

echo zealot
#

there's software and stuff for that
maybe this is the true advantage of having a glass panel that ill never understand

unborn kiln
#

Mainly for ascetics
Really not much benefit

echo zealot
#

yeah im indifferent when it comes to pc ascetics

#

how it preforms is what matters more
dont care about dumb lights

unborn kiln
#

I agree with you to a point
But it just boils down to personal preference..

#

Tbh its harder to find a case without tempered glass now a days

#

From my personal experience tempered glass chassis work out cheaper most of the time

Then there is no point not getting one.

echo zealot
#

hopefully i get a new job soon
cause i really want to save up and build a chad of a pc with like a titan or something
yknow real beefy
stupid rona makes it all hard n stuff

Was thinking of this build

devout wolf
#

ok...

please no meme builds

unless you're serious in which case, that's a pretty bad build in almost all use cases

noble oak

Well

It would also be better to wait for amd's cards

crimson scroll
#

you don't want to fwait forever though

devout wolf
#

i'm curious as to what rdna2 has to offer

noble oak
#

I mean

#

Its not forever

#

Its November

crimson scroll
#

still

#

if the 3xxx is good, and value enough over 2xxx, then buy it

#

that's two months of use you'll get out of it by the time rdna2 comes out

echo zealot
#

you cant just wait forever
stuff is always coming out

crimson scroll
#

exactly

#

parts should be viewed on a rolling scale of how long you use them anyways

#

i buy a 1080 for $260, sell it for $240 after 6 months-it cost me less than 3.50 a month

static pecan
#

Really hoping RDNA2 has something to go up against at least the 3070 because at this point that's the card I'm eyeing the most for my end of the year build

#

Also waiting to see what Ryzen 4000 has and if it really does have a 50% increase in IPC then I might jump on that ship as well. We'll see

buying a 2080 ti is a smart idea

probably won't matter too much, at least for 3070/3080
@crimson scroll yeah but just goes to show it's not the end of the world running the cards on pcie 3.0

everything new but the gpu like Omar said, your best bet is somewhere around a 570 for 80 bucks

~650w for FE but depends on CPU

keep in mind that

4000 series will be a smaller architecture

so power draw will be less/same

If I've had my psu since late 2016 should I pick up a new one or should it be chill?

you don't want a crappy 850 over a decent 650
