I’m thinking the same thing... I guess we'll see how things look tomorrow.. thanks for the reply anyway 🙂

I7-7700k, playing at 1080p. I'm strictly looking to push max settings while keeping things at a steady 120fps+... plus some video editing on the side

Hey everyone, I’ve got a pretty sweet deal on this card for about $700 (picked it up just 20 days ago here in the States, so it’s basically brand new with the full warranty)

Should I grab the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Gigabyte OC, or is it smarter to hold out for when Intel drops their next series and prices hopefully settle down?...

I'm currently running an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6gb Gigabyte OC.

Thanks in advance...

Hey everyone,

Anyone have any recommendations or could help me put together a gaming rig for under $750?
Also, is it possible to have the same shop build it for me and ship it out ready to go? I don't need a monitor or any peripherals, just the tower itself. Thanks in advance!... 👍

Hey everyone,

So I need to swap out my GPU in a couple of days since I'm moving my old one to another build. I'm looking at: https://www.newsoutlets.com/graphics-card-review-07-2016.aspx

Here’s what I'm running:

Old GPU (AMD Radeon R9 280)
Intel i5 3350P @ 3.10ghz
Motherboard: ASUS P8H61-M Le R2.0
2x Kingston 4gb DDR3
256gb SSD
750W power supply

I'm aiming for high-end 1080p gaming on max settings. Thanks in advance...

swiftfalcon89 said:I mean, I definitely wouldn't suggest pairing a brand new motherboard and CPU with some junk power supply. Why risk frying everything if the PSU dies? Plus, regarding gaming, you won't see much of a boost since that GPU isn't really built for heavy gaming—you'll eventually need to upgrade that too. It is what it is...

EDIT: Also, let us know how much cash you're working with...

1 x MSI HD 7870 2GB GDDR5 256bit, R7870-2GD5T/OC, 28nm, dual fan
1 x Intel Core i5-3350P 3.1GHz (Max Turbo FQ 3.3 GHz), 6MB

This is what I'm looking to grab. My budget is right around $1000. I'm not planning on swapping the motherboard, just maybe the power supply if I really have to. Honestly, I don't want my whole rig to die on me the next day because of a cheap PSU x). A solid power supply would be perfect, maybe up to $300 $167. Thanks again for all the help, y'all... hope you have a good night.

P-CASE 460

Thanks for all the help.
My power supply is 460W, I didn't quite catch the full model name yet.

''You can upgrade, but for Haswell processors you'll need a BIOS update on that board...'' Like, one humongous update? (:
And btw, is there a specific site you guys recommend for ordering a card and a CPU?

Thanks again for the replies, everyone,
best regards!

Hey everyone,

After spending a few hours Googling and getting frustrated by all the useless info out there, I figured I'd just ask you guys for some help. Basically, I'm looking to upgrade my rig...
Here's the breakdown:

Operating System
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz 38 °C
Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology
RAM
4,00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 532MHz (7-7-7-20)
Motherboard
ASRock H61M-VS (CPUSocket) 36 °C
Graphics
W2052 (1440x900@75Hz)
1024MB Nvidia GeForce gt 430 (MSI) 37 °C
Hard Drives
466GB Seagate ST500DM002 (SATA) 31 °C
Optical Drives
HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH22NS70 ATA Device
DTSOFT Virtual CdRom Device
Audio
Nvidia high Definition audio
(Everything pulled straight from Speccy, temps included..)
So, my big question is: can I drop an Intel Core i5-3570 (3400MHz 6MBL3 Cache 22nm 77W skt1155 Ivy Bridge) BOX and a GeForce GTX 660 into this build?

Thanks in advance! Any advice or suggestions would be awesome...
Best, Sam Sanchez3
