It's not a bad PC, but for that price you got scammed. Only 16GB memory, no HDD, and an 8700k and not Intel's new line of chip. You would have been better off building off a prebuilt site.

Well if you go to ibuypower's website this is their front computer and it's both cheaper and better than yours with a better CPU and RAM. Perhaps a smaller SSD but you can always upgrade that.

Edit: I would have paid 1300-1400 for that computer since it's only an 8700k.

Thinking about building with these parts. What do you guys think?

I always tell people not to buy Graphics cards like that Marceaux.

If you take a look at refurbished or second hand 980 ti for 200 to 250 dollars these days which will give you more performance than a GTX 1080 which is still a $600 card.

I recently replaced my one GTX 980 for 2 980 TI's in SLI. Don't worry about them being second hand, as long as the card hasn't been mining for 5 years, graphics cards always tend to be the longest standing component of a build most of the time.

080 Ti is my favourite card

Whats wrong with the RX cards? (Genuine question as i know very little about gpx cards.)

How does the 980 compare to this card? I figured NVIDIA cards were better but not sure how much for the price? People were saying the rx570 has pretty good performance and i figured a 4gb card would be enough for awhile until i can afford a BIG card. I mainly picked this card because i wanted to keep the build pure with AMD/ASUS-ROG-STRIX/Corsair parts only for pretty much everything. But if the rx 560-580 cards are junk then maybe i will pass. Graphics cards are the only thing i haven't put much research into yet.

And keep in mind i plan to acquire these parts slowly over a few months.

[John Price]

RX cards are for budget pc's. The GTX 1050TI which I put in my brothers pc only runs games at about 30-40 fps on Medium. Which is around the same price point as that card.

Whereas my GTX980TI runs games on Max at 60fps at 1080p. I turn Anti Aliasing down as I have a 1440p monitor then I still get 60fps even then.

So yeah, for about a 60-70% better card you pay the same price. Only issue being it would be second hand but graphics cards last a lifetime anyway.
