Not yet dude. And certainly not in 6 mos

lone depot
#

2070 SUPER is going to be more efficient at the very worst

#

well not a lot of difference but still

blissful roost
#

And its still 500

#

Again

#

I paid no tax either lol

lone depot
#

your point is? you paid the same price for an older, WORSE card, which you see to be a deal.

#

i don't care about that

blissful roost
#

My card before I upgraded was a 1070

#

Base

rancid ether
#

if theyre the same performance id rather get the rtx 2070 super cause it has faster memory and is newer tech

lone depot
#

doesn't matter. that's like saying i had a 1990 car and got this 2000 car when i could have gotten a 2008

#

exactly.

blissful roost
#

Idk dude. I ran it by alot of people. I can still technically return it if I like. It's not even here yet.

#

I may look more into super if it's really that great

lone depot
#

you based your opinions on ebay purchases and troll posts about running cards for insanely long periods and breaking them.

#

you should be fine with that card but like i said, it's no deal by any means

rancid ether
#

i basically consider the supers the new TI lol

rare kayak
#

I don't like the name.

rancid ether
#

i like TI better

blissful roost
#

I based it on relevancy for price point and time between now and when I upgrade. And it just made sense lol

lone depot
#

it does not, ebay is not an actual base

#

look

blissful roost
#

Actually. If you check the going rate it's right about 500. If you seriously think the NAVIS And SUPERS. Are going to cause a 20% cost gap on a still relevant card I'd have to argue your market analytics. That's all.

lone depot
rare kayak
#

you can't argue on something that hasn't happened yet.

lone depot
#

i'm repeating myself in bigger letters since we have trouble understanding here, STOP looking at ebay

#

now tell me that's a deal?

blissful roost
#

Maybe on a one off

#

But it ain't that now

lone depot
#

i'm sure i can find a number of others like it down there

blissful roost
#

Dude if you can

#

I'll return the 1080

#

Like no q asked

lone depot
#

go properly look for yourself, i'm not buying a card for my own here you know

blissful roost
#

Lol. I just dont think there are any

rancid ether
#

ok so my issue is im gaming on my 4k tv which is good and all but i want to game on a 144hz or higher monitor. im buying a computer desk on the 3rd but my question is to get started should i go with a cheap 144hz 1ms 1080p monitor for temporary use (on a budget) till i can afford a 1440p gaming monitor with gsync? the 1440p will be over 300 and id have to save for few months, if i buy the 1080 for now which is like 150 i can use now and save for more expensive one?

blissful roost
#

I scoured.

lone depot
#

TPU marketplace, hardware canucks etc. just to name a few

#

you just didn't know where to look at. ebay and talking about people paying $700 to $1000 and over who knows how much

rare kayak
#

/r/hardwareswap/

blissful roost
#

Looked at hardware swap

#

They all want 500

#

Going piece according to literal market share on new 1080tis is 828

#

Price*

lone depot
#

🤦

rare kayak
#

my area.

lone depot
#

you could buy a SUPER 2080 easily for that much and it's easily superior

blissful roost
lone depot
#

please stop.

blissful roost
#

Literal market share analytics

lone depot
#

no

blissful roost
#

Yes

lone depot
#

more like, nonsense

blissful roost
#

Right. So the most trusted publicly known benchmarking site is nonsense

#

Lel

lone depot
#

that most trusted benchmark site doesn't even have a single DX11 bench, their top graphics bench is DX10 and they feel like DX11 is not there yet

#

you don't know what you're talking about

Most "gaming" chairs only support 250-300lbs at most

#

the secret lab titan does more, but its like $400 if you catch it on sale

terse tinsel

Doesn’t support Diabetes... sorry.

white hull
#

Looked at that Bossin chair earlier and started drooling a bit

peak sand
#

Those so called 'gaming' chairs, seem to flake and fall apart no matter what. I really wish they'd make them out of good materials.

#

You're better off dropping $200 on an actually good office chair with lumbar support, good padding, and not that cheap PU leather junk.

dull jasper
#

I’ve been looking at Herman Miller chairs.

#

Used about $400, new $1100.

#

I work onsite in HQ once a year for about a week usually. They have them. Really. Nice. Chairs.

#

Obviously. Very hard to rationalize spending that.

outer cypress

I gave in and replaced my "gaming" chair with a Herman Miller Embody when it was on sale last December. I hate myself for not buying it sooner.

Anyone have good recommendations for a 4k gsync monitor with at least 100hz that wont absolutely wreck my wallet?

gsync will wreck your wallet no matter what.

yeah, freesync can be made to work on geforce cards

so, pretty much every ryzen outlet is sold out of the 3000 series within 30-40 minutes,. online and no retailers in my city got any inventory this week

rare kayak

that was expected.

tawny sparrow

yeah, that's why i'm giving it time

#

it has nothing to do with the fact i have no money to upgrade with right now

I suspect they are all still in "transit"

I know gsync will wreck the bank roll no matter what but I mean like 900 vs 1600

32 is huge

I have a curved 27. I down sized from a flat 32

27 seems like the sweet spot

27 is perfect

i use a 32" TV and it's become really normal for me

past cove
#

I have a 19.5 and I've never felt it to be small tbh

outer cypress
#

well trust me @past cove if you ever upgrade to 27 youll never go back

#

32 was too big for my space

#

wonder if i can dig up a pic

past cove
#

yeah but like

#

it's all relative to how close it is to you

#

and mine is really really close to me

#

they don't go lower than 24" anymore though so that'll be my next one

outer cypress
#

yeah

#

true

#

while looking for the picture i also found this

i used a shoebox as a stand

that tv is 720p and i sat like 4 ft away from it

also the right side of my desk isnt big enough for my setup and my laptop

dang that's the first other person I've ever seen who has a 1680 x 1050 like I do

#

Hmm I see

outer cypress
#

its a mess lol

#

when i build my pc i might get a regular desk

#

but for now, i have a laptop which needs that surface area of the right side

#

the L shaped desk does a good job of getting my laptop outta my sight

but with a beautiful mid tower gaming rig, id wanna see it lol

i use my wrist rest from my razer ornata chroma as a place to rest my arm

mobo is meh, but does have the 2080 + 9900k

#

and 6 USB 3+ ports

peak sand
#

That's a REALLY good deal.

#

You could find some better parts and build it yourself, but a 2080 and 9900k is already about 1.2k.

lunar warren
#

so should i get it?

#

i mean i like how it has 4 USB 3.0/3.1 ports

#

but i do tons of editing

peak sand
#

If you're looking for a new PC and want the best of the best, it's pretty good. The PSU is a bit odd, but the deal is amazing.

lunar warren
#

think that one is good?

#

i can swap out the psu myself

#

i have some gold 750 ones lyingaround

peak sand
#

Looking on newegg at what they put in it at consumer prices, it's worth 2k.

lunar warren
#

what about the mobo

peak sand
#

It's meh.

#

It's an ASRock Z390.

#

Definitely not a bad board by any means.

#

This is the mobo.

#

2 M.2 drives.

lunar warren
#

what am i losing on it

peak sand
#

A secondary high-speed M.2.

#

The mobo has no wifi.

lunar warren
#

i can buy a fast wifi card for $100

#

i wish they had the option to lose the lights

peak sand
#

It's not the most amazing mobo around, but it's not bad either. ASRock is on the lower end of mobo manufacturers in my experience.

lunar warren
#

i want to run 3000-3200+ speed ram minimum, andabout 128gb if possible

#

i know it's a pretty decent deal

peak sand
#

This one has support for 4300 OC'd ram.

lunar warren
#

just wish i could swap out the mobo

#

and pay a little extra u know?

peak sand
#

You can, it'll be an involved process, but you could do it yourself. 😛

#

Probably like a 30 minute to a 1 hour job.

lunar warren
#

ugh

#

time is money

#

the other option is to just spend another $1000

peak sand
#

It's a full-size board, it has all the bells and whistles, and it supports a lot. It's the baseline for "good" mobos.

lunar warren
#

for a $2500 computer

peak sand
#

Kek. Or you could pay to ship it to me and I'll switch your mobo out for 500. c;

lunar warren
#

which city u in

#

if ur local to me maybe, if not nah

peak sand
#

Tulsa, Oklahoma. :L

lunar warren
#

id pass

peak sand
#

I was mostly joking anyways, I'd totally do it for 500, but yeah.

lunar warren
#

whats the difference between this mobo

#

and like, the $300 ones

peak sand
#

Lower quality materials used in the construction, RGB, future compatibility.

#

But not much, not 200 worth.

#

This board in specific is a nice ASRock board anyways.

#

The thing with mobos, if they're new, is they either work or they don't.

#

So buying a prebuilt means you're good as can be.

lunar warren
#

u think this deal will still be around for a week or two?

#

i figured if im going to do it id be swapping out the psu + the ram anyways

peak sand
#

Just to put it into perspective though, I spent 2k on my build, and it's a 9900k and a RTX 2070.

lunar warren
#

so would it just make more sense to buy separately and build myself?

#

when did you do yours

peak sand
#

About a month and a half ago.

#

I bought the best of the best though.

#

My mobo, case, and PSU are totally and entirely future proof.

lunar warren
#

id rather spend that extra $500

#

then again this would be a computer id keep for the next 4-5 years

#

so would it make sense to use another mobo or just this

peak sand
#

It is a computer that would last that long, that's for sure.

#

I'd say it's a good deal if you need a PC RIGHT NOW.

#

Otherwise, I'd get someone to build you one.

#

If you want that high-quality.

lunar warren
#

running an 5820k right now with 64gb ddr4 3000 speed ram

peak sand
#

Like double-extra-high-quality.

lunar warren
#

it's OCed to 4.0

#

but about 4 years old

#

its not bad by any means

peak sand
#

Yeah, I'd say this one'll be good for about 6 or 7 years.

lunar warren
#

but i do a lot of editing

peak sand
#

Since PC tech is seeing diminishing growth in performance per dollar.

lunar warren
#

so hence, upgrading might make sense

peak sand
#

It definitely would, if it's your job.

lunar warren
#

i mean ic an technically keep using my 980 Ti card

#

not gaming with this rig

peak sand
#

Think on it.

#

Give yourself a day or two, sit with the thought, lay in bed and think about it.

#

Big purchases aren't something you should spring on.

lunar warren
#

if it had a nicer mobo and ram for another $300 i'd jump on it

peak sand
#

(I do it all the time and have crushing debt, but I can handle it, just prefer not to.)

#

I'll be 100% with you.

lunar warren
#

dude i spend like $40k a year

peak sand
#

Changing out a mobo isn't that hard, it's just very involved.

lunar warren
#

on my credit card lmaos

#

i can afford it but im trying to keep my statement avg this year under 2k per month

peak sand
#

One of the things i Recommend if you're unsure is take pictures of all the connections, since mobos are universal.

#

More or less universal.

lunar warren
#

if i switch mobo

#

all i gotta do is replug new mobo in

#

and it'll work?

#

+re-glue processor to heat sink, etc.

#

?

peak sand
#

Just gotta make sure it's compatible with everything you wanna put in it.

#

Has the proper slot type for the CPU and all that.

lunar warren
#

would i be able to sell that mobo that comes with that computer? lmaos

#

if i dont use it

peak sand
#

The RAM speeds you want.

lunar warren
#

how important is ram speed?

peak sand
#

I mean, sure. You could score like 50 bucks off of an unboxed unused mobo.

lunar warren
#

not too tech savvy

peak sand
#

One sec, actually.

lunar warren
#

assuming i use lightroom + photoshop a lot

peak sand
#

That's a good video for it.

lunar warren
#

ugh

#

i guess i could always swapout the ram and psu and sell em

#

and keep the mobo

#

but i'd like two m2 ssds

peak sand
#

I mean, the RAM swapout is super easy, the PSU works, but it's sort of odd.

lunar warren
#

for the OS + my files i work on

#

how hard is that to do?

#

transfer the OS to the m2 drive ill be buying

peak sand
#

The PSU might be a really big pain.

#

The PSU isn't modular, so that means you'll have to undo the cable management.

lunar warren
#

isnt psu just disconnecting cables and...

#

oh

#

wtfs

tulip havenBOT
#
Duckysaurus#0970 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

peak sand
#

That would be much much more involved.

lunar warren
#

ughhh

peak sand
#

Actually more difficult than switching the mobo out.

#

Lemme double check the PSU.

lunar warren
#

UGH

peak sand
#

Yeah, it's a standard PSU.

#

So all the cables are integrated.

lunar warren
#

just send me ur build lol

peak sand
#

Heh.

lunar warren
#

i'll just buy the same parts and pay someone local to assemble and stuff

peak sand
#

Gimme a sec.

lunar warren
#

just want it to handle editing flawless

#

so must have m2 ssds

#

preferably a 1TB

#

if i have SSDs onmy current computer

#

can i just unplug and plug into new?

#

storage ssds

peak sand
#

For the most part, yeah.

#

The PSU I have has multiple SATA ports for hard drives, and it's fully modular with a high-power output.

#

So you basically just add a cable and plug the hard drive in then slot it into the case.

lunar warren
#

you can toggle that off

#

wait is it in the top left corner?

#

go to user settings -> overlay and turn it off

well they are refurbished

brisk nexus
#

So which one is more recommend used or refurbished

onyx sable
#

well
to me "used" means it has not been "refurbished"
on the other hand
"refurbished" means that something was wrong, it was sent back and repaired, but they can't sell it as 'new' any more

#

with that
if the price difference is marginal
go refurbished
since being repaired means it should also come with a new warranty

Ok

#

That’s true

#

So far I picked a ryzen 5 2600 and gtx 1660

very very tight budget too but doable if you just want to do 1080p

edit th is list i partially made however you want

up to you if you want to stay with 8gb of ram or go to 16gb and i dont know what kind of storage you want

#

operating system is up to you how you want to get it as well @covert gale

#

note: b450 motherboards will require a bios update if you do decide to go 3rd gen ryzen

you can change the cpu to 2600 if you want to save the 80 bucks or so

then dont have to worry about bios updates

ASUS ROG X570 Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi) ATX Motherboard is good one ?

terse tinsel
#

Yes

slender hemlock
#

I agree on the windows colments

lone depot
#

x570 crosshair hero is likely overkill. But if you want a board that has plenty of VRM headroom for whatever you put in it and some of the best memory compatibility / OC support for a daisy chain board, go for it.

#

A few of us here have either the C8H or the X570 master, similar boards, but almost all of the $300-$350 x570 boards are of comparable overall quality.

lone depot
#

I have the C8H, its one of the best boards ive been able to have

#

Its very easy to understand and fun to play around with, will be future proof for all watercooling build trust me

#

Also its got great VRMs

#

Haha ya, owners seem to love it. But if someone asks " C8H is good one?" I'm guessing they might not want to spend $360 on a mobo if their particular needs can be met by a <$200 x570 TUF / Aorus Elite, or similar.

hazy tusk
#

I wouldn’t recommend the Aorus elite, strictly because of the 1-star rating consistency. Also, I got a DOA one as well.

#

So I may be biased.

tall granite
#

Ooooor you use a flash drive and iso file to get windows for free forever

lone depot
lone depot
#

Its a good board because of the bios, go and compare another top end board and come back with your preference. The C8H beats any Gigabyte Board by a longshot, the only disadvantage so far would be the missing M.2 Slot which doesn’t mean much to me. The MEG ACE is a great board too but when compared to the ASUS board, you are gonna get better and more polished BIOS and looks just because of MSI being new to the super high end AMD mobo market. Their particular needs can be met by an X470 board in reality. Nobody needs X570 unless they are overclocking a lot of things or if they are gonna have a 3900X or 3950X

#

The chipset fan is also inaudible for anyone wondering, and no you dont need Gigabytes all passive board. The only thing it doesnt have is that better Ethernet jack and extra M.2 Slot which already, 2 is plenty. Its quite better looking as well.

#

For most higher end consumers, it does fine with no compromise

Between the popular IPS panels, the xb271HU/PG279Q use the same AOC panel I think. The Aorus has 10 bit color and DCI-p3 though.

At first glance, I'd go 32" IPS 60Hz 4k for productivity, or 27" IPS 60Hz 1440p, same use
For gaming, I'd personally go 144hz 27" 1440p TN

Idk, it's a compromise of specs and price ranges / features, if you want a little bit of the best of each, sure. Monitor choice is highly dependent on personal preference.

The 1200 photon?

#

if I'm lucky and it ends up being a not dying one, will be future proofed for future additions

#

yeah

#

Haha, be careful, cheaper PSU's lack features that will protect the rest of your system in case of a failure.

#

Like lower wattage G2's cooking boards during a brownout. But even some high end stuff like seasonic prime plats/titaniums showing more RMA than usual.

luckliy I'm not seeing any complaints of killing parts, just either coming DOA or dying after only a couple of months

lone depot
#

That's good, these days, you definitely have to check on a per-model basis.

#

If you want the best PSU for the money, I'd avoid that photon haha, but if you're like me and just want to test it for fun, upvote

Last Christmas I got the rosewill lepton 700w for $40

#

It’s good certed

#

this stuff is so scary yo, can't tell what's good or not

lone depot
#

Ya, it pays to read reviews on a per-model basis. Especially since most of these just re-brand OEM FSP/Seasonic/CWT units anyway

Not gonna link it but on amazon the PG279Q is $113 off

#

Used?

New

#

You didn’t hear this from me~

#

The PG279QZ is nearly identical, people speculate that it's dimmer to mitigate the IPS glow / bleed.

#

Even 16% off, paying that much for a monitor is hard to swallow

lone depot
#

Yep, a TN equivalent without the hardware g-sync costs $300, e.g. Dell s2719DGF

#

You can downsize and get the hardware g-sync for $320 s2417DG

my main monitor is 27 inch, don't think I could go down now

For the streamers

worn rose
#

didnt know they supported wii u 🤔

sweet sluice
#

It supports anything with hdmi

#

It just passes through video

#

Lots of bad ones from the look of the reviews, but it's like 50% off

#

So if you're okay with the possibility dealing with a return or two, then it's a steal

the one thing you need is a Elgato Chat Link if you want to include in game audio from your party - and if you are on xbox one and have a windows 10 pc you dont need a elgato to capture it the xbox windows 10 companion and capture it's stream directly to OBS

The important thing about the hd 60 pro is that it has it's own h.264 encoder

Recommendation of a mic thats good for streaming/gaming and not pricey?

lone depot
#

Price range? How willing are you to fiddle with settings?

#

$100 below

I thought that it would be under tech deals if there was any deals on any mics.
