I have no clue how a warranty claim would work if it isn't through them directly—like if it's tied to a different state—but maybe you can still run it through them...

We're looking at a company with a base capital of $3.25 that pulled in $2167 back in 2017... they haven't released any numbers for 2018 yet. ☕

Fine, then just give me the lowest price 😬

It's a decent deal if you want to mess around with that beast... that model actually beats out the GTX 1080 quite often. Otherwise, yeah, it looks pretty weak next to an RTX 2060.

Now you're screwing me over for 60 bucks--$23 what I missed 😬

Anyway, prices are generally a bit lower today 😂

PowerColor RX VEGA64 $1282 ... not bad ☕

Since Nvidia actually supports FreeSync now, there’s really no point in dropping extra cash on those overpriced G-SYNC monitors...

crimsonstag84 said:The GTX 1060 isn't worth it at these prices, period. It’s either a 1660 Ti (2400-$833) or an RX 570/580 (1200-$500). Prices should have dropped since Nvidia officially slashed it to $179, which would be about $500, but we aren't seeing any of that yet.

Speaking of changes, I spotted this monitor... definitely grabbing it.

If you aren't using a 144Hz monitor, you could easily swap in a Ryzen 1600X/1600/2600 and 16GB of RAM.

Does that price include the processor?🤔😬

There are Powerline adapters that come with built-in Wi-Fi, acting like an extension for your wireless signal while also serving as an Ethernet extender (that's basically what I've got running in my kid's room)...maybe that's what he was getting at.

wiredotter14 said:You don't really need an upgrade for your PSU if you're sticking with a GTX 1060.

The RX 580 is a better pick, and usually cheaper—though that depends on what games you're running.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=rx580+8gb
There's also a 4GB version that's way more budget-friendly.

But yeah, with the GTX 1060, you won't have to sweat the power supply as much.

Just whatever you do, stay away from the GTX 1060 3GB. It’s a total waste compared to the RX 570 4.

The guy is paying in installments, so even if the RX 580 is technically "cheaper," it ends up costing him about the same anyway.😛

Christian Vaughn3 said:The budget is basically non-existent... since Christmas is right around the corner and this wasn't planned. I don't give a $833, installment plans are my only way to go.

Is this even worth it?

GeForce GTX 1060 3GB

That's what they told me at Best Buy. Or if you guys have something else around the $150-$$567 mark?

I'm running a Corsair CX 500 power supply. Do I need to upgrade that too?

Better to just stretch the budget to $67 up to there, it's significantly more powerful...

If you're just gaming, the Ryzen 5 2600 1529 beats out the 1700x... there's plenty of benchmarks online showing the 1700x wins for productivity, but the 2600 pulls more FPS in games.

EDIT: wait, a Ryzen 5 2600 box for $900??? That's insane... you should be getting that for like $130-$$500

EDIT2: my bad, I'm an idiot... didn't realize you snagged the whole bundle for that price 🙂

https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16...93892722486757

Unless they changed their policy recently, Amazon doesn't ship to the US...

Timothy Kim60 said:Give people an R7 1800X for a bargain, that's basically impossible. It's the same old story every year with their Black Friday deals. Everyone shares the links, they get all the hype, but nobody actually manages to snag anything from those big sales.

Here’s an actual deal for you:

GTX 1060 3gb - $160
GTX 1060 6gb - $215
GTX 1070 8gb - $325

Shipping to the US is $15, plus you have to handle the local sales tax; unlike Amazon where it's usually handled upfront.

I don't see those prices on the link... did you just make them up?

Around here, the cheapest $704 is Downtown.
It's sitting at $250 there, so $553.
Pretty sweet deal if you know someone traveling through Germany.
$150 differences.

There you go, cheaper, and you don't need a connection in Germany.

crimsonstag84 said:Running 1440p on an RTX 2070, an 8600K isn't going to show any real gain—it'll be basically invisible. That’s why I went with the 1600X 😉 instead.

Didn't you suggest he just get a 1080p monitor? 🤔

Yeah, I opened an account over there maybe a year or two ago, fingers crossed nothing goes wrong with it 😬

Does that discount actually work if I'm using a credit card?

Finally, Vega prices are actually dropping to where they should have been all along if it weren't for those "stinking" miners 🙂

I just hope there isn't another massive spike right when the Naviti drops 🙂

I can confirm that Asus makes absolute garbage monitors 👍

currently running an rx480, but waiting on Nvidia 😬

Another invasion from the Far East 😬
