1. Spend all of your money on one large SSD instead of a small SSD + large HDD. This single part will be the most noticeable performance increase over any other part.
2. If you're not doing expedited shipping-- make sure there aren't any **notices that state a month or longer shipping time. In that case, pick a different part or pay $5 more for faster shipping.
3. Get a gold rated PSU if you plan on overclocking any components.
4. 8GB of RAM is sufficient for over 98% of current existing PC titles. The Witcher 3 is a notable example of a game that would run slightly better on a 16GB setup. (4-11 FPS)
I'll download more ram during cyber monday or something - when the prices aren't insane

I'd drop to the Ryzen 3 1200.
Drop the HDD and spend more on a single larger SSD.
Cooper Long
That's retarded.

samefag go shitpost in the old thread.

You're just a retard, OP.

>GPUs * Crypto-Currency miners have driven GPU prices up, using an old GPU or waiting to build may be a good idea right now. 1060 3GB - 1080p 60fps at medium/high settings, anything below this just buy an Optiplex and put this GPU or better in. 1060 6GB or RX 580 - 1080p 60fps at ultra settings, former supports G-Sync, latter supports Freesync 1070 - 1080p 144fps / 1440p 60fps at ultra settings 1080 TI - 1440p 144fps / 4k 60fps at ultra settings

This is old news, the whole purpose of a new thread was updated information.
i wouldn't spend any money on the A8-9600. Ryzen 5 1400 is a good cpu, I'd rather pick up a 1500X instead. Recommending anyone buy a non overclockable coffeelake CPU is a shill. Only z370 boards are available at the moment.

What's the absolute cheapest GPU I could get that would still run games at at least 30 FPS at 720p?
Should I get that GPU and wait for a Volta announcement or just get a 1080/1080ti now? I'd rather not deal with buying an actual decent card then trying to resell.
Benjamin Sanchez
GTX 1050 Ti, no cheaper of a card would be worth your time.
1080 Ti would rock your world. Volta cards are going to be better, yes, but also considerably more expensive than last gen.
Jacob Cox
What's a good fan curve for a 1070
Ethan Bailey
>no cheaper card would be worth your time Not even if I would be upgrading from a 660m?
I guess I should just get a 1080/1080ti if Volta's going to be more expensive. I assumed they'd be about the same price point for much more performance. But then again, I don't think I can put a price on getting my GPU right now. Really hyped for my first build.
Anthony Fisher
GTX 960 is almost identical in performance to GTX 1050 Ti, so if he can get the former for a significantly lower price then it'd be a better deal.
Still would love an answer to best gaming mobile for a 1600x with the reasons why

**If we're talking new components.
If you can find a used one that beats the 1050 Ti, go for it!

Get fucked.

Any changes I should make to make it slightly more expensive and slightly better?

Hello friends, has anyone built a mini ITX or small form PC? What are the issues in doing so? I think it would be possible to have a $1000 machine condensed into 8x8x11 inch case but I need help. It'd be transported a lot and require optimal cooling so the case is the most important thing I guess.
Noah Perez

what the fuck it's like double-triple the price ???

Thoughts? Its quite pricey but im looking for one day delivery on all items
