If you said unlimited budget then I'd go eVGA SR2 with dual water cooled X5690 Xeons, and water cooled SLi GTX 480s.

I like Samsung, very reliable drives.

The 1TB Spinpoint F1 was THE bang-for-buck hard drive to have back then

that's duke nukem you dumb pajeet

>GTX 480
Radeon HD 5870 was still sold out everywhere?

linustechtips

Man my 5770 is still going good today.

That was the first generation of good AMD cards, wasn't it? After the disaster of the 2000 series.
Like 30% faster than Nvidia's offerings for the same price, yeah?

6000 series stagnated against (though the 6990 still gets 60fps+ on most games today), then GCN was an even bigger bomb dropped.
More stagnation... but Vega is looking to repeat the initial GCN launch.

HD 4000 (4850/4870) was also exceptional bang/buck and performance, it completely disgraced Nvidia which wanted to release its 260/280 shit at like 650 USD (hey, that sounds familiar) and needed to drop prices by 25-33% like two weeks after.

HD 3870 was IIRC also not bad, although it only competed on price, they didn't have a card to fight Nvidia's top model, they were handling highend by dual-chip cards.

Yeah when the 7970 came out, the 6000 series wasn't that competitive with the 480 and 580.
Nvidia had to cut prices over 30%, and even after those price cuts they still weren't competitive at all.

That's why I'll always wait for AMD to release something good. When they don't have a competitive GPU being sold, you know the Nvidia cards are overpriced dogshit that are only so overpriced because they can get away with it. AMD is more consumer-friendly and prices their cards where they make a profit while the consumer still gets decent value while Nvidia will jew at any opportunity.

the 9800pro btfo'd the geforce FX

But to be fair, at least NVidia innovated with Maxwell and Pascal even when AMD wasn't offering much competition during those times. Even if they are overpriced.
And they stopped gimping their mid-tier cards as much after the 7000 series embarrassed them.

Meanwhile Intel re-releases nearly the same shit for 6 years straight.

Buy My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and drugs.

>GTX 480 + one of those aftermarket Artic GPU coolers, so that my PC doesn't spontaneously combust.
or you could just get a 5870

Yeah I think my first PC had a 9600pro.
I was 13 or something, couldn't afford the 9700 or 9800, but I was still playing UT at like 80fps+ or something.

But the 9000 series was ATI, not AMD.

27" unibody iMac

Nvidia fans had it rough then. But OTOH, the situation with power consumption was similar to for example GTX 980 versus R9 390X.

...

HD5870 was also ATi

2011

Great stuff.

Um... what?

AMD bought ATI in 2006.
5000 series came out in 2009.

They used the name ATI still up until 2010, but it was AMD.

I'm still using a PC build in 2011, the only upgrades since then were an SSD and a RX 480.

I like how you bothered to fact check the obviously completely busted post.

Still, even though HD5870 was technically AMD it was still sold as ATi Radeon.

Okay? I think it was plenty clear what I meant. Stop being pedantic.

You will never need more than 4gb of memory.
