Memory Express wants $2499 for the 32c lol
think i'll hold onto my 16c until they have a 64c...either way I love the market correction (catching up after Intel's been sitting on its laurels)
kinda dumb how AMD named and marketed the 12c and 16c for gaming :fulloffuck:

I don't need a HEDT CPU, so I usually just wait for Intel to put one of their latest CPUs on promotion with their Retail Edge program. Hopefully they'll have a decent 8-core on there in the next year.

My main right now has a i7-8750H and it's pretty snappy. Don't really see much of a difference versus last generation 4-core CPUs though.

What do you guys think of the Logitech g920 wheel? Is it any good? Someone is selling one with the sifter and pedals $200. He claims it's new.

PC noob here.

Looking to refresh my computer, custom built this one years ago.
Slight drop in FPS in the games i'm playing, running a i5 4460 & GTX 660

What should I look into getting! TIA

How much RAM do you have? What's your HDD?SSD/5400RPM/7200RPM and what games are you playing and whats the graphic level?

Is your drivers all updated?

Need more info.

nV wants 999 usd minimum for the new Ti, raff out roud

https://www.anandtech.com/show/13249...0-ti-2080-2070

anyone who's not desperate for an upgrade should wait until next year's 7nm...this is apparently gonna be a very short generation (despite very innovative tech for quality over performance)

$1100 CAD for an RTX 1080 on pre-order ($699 USD MSRP) ... Gouging like crazy already.

i'm happy with 1080p on high settings with my little 1070.

that's for like 4k wide screens,& early adopters price.
so if you're rolling in the cash like nobodys business,i'd get it...haha.

Hoping to pick up a cheap"ish" 1080 ti from someone upgrading to the RTX's. my 1070 isnt cutting it for 1440p 165hz.

Nvidia is just capitalizing on the new tech since competitors are not within range yet.
Remember when Nvidia released their first $1000 USD card? That was way back in the days April 2012; it was the GeForce GTX 690. I remembered waiting weeks to get my hands on one.

Now, $1k mark is so easily hit...

Kinda of miss having a desktop now... Having to use a laptop is nice and all but I can't play any games on it lol (USING Intel620) .ram is on the low side as well 4GB. Seems find when watching most online streaming but I can't play 1080 on crunchyroll for some reason it just lags and buffers try using different webbrowser and changing the settings doesn't help. Not to mention I only have 256GB HDD so I have to constantly move my movies onto my back up.

Put spending 2k on a desktop just doesn't seem to worth it........

and here I am with my GTX970 thinking "it's enough"

There's a huge gulf between what you're using now and a $2k desktop. You can put something together for well under a grand that will be miles ahead of your laptop.

1080ti is good for 1440p 144hz but I need dat 2080ti if I really wanna have max settings 100 fps+:fullofwin:

I recall grabbing the 670 at launch for around $300 a piece (6 years honestly isn't even that long ago) saving $100 at launch was considered a fairly decent deal then...yeah we're not gonna see the 2070 and beyond under $600 ever again :suspicious:

4gb and 256gb HDD? did you buy a netbook from 2008 or something? ok i'm exaggerating but still...i'm sure you can spend $500-600 on a better laptop than that esp now back to school

That 2TB micron SSD is even cheaper now $339. Fantastic drive. Have one in my current build.

$140 for 480gb alright or nah

Anyone know of a really cheap NAS solution? Basically I just need a regular HDD enclosure, but have to be able to connect to it with ethernet.

So far the cheapest I've found are "cloud" products from WD for like $200. There must be a really cheap one out there that I haven't come across.

I'd call it a run-of-the-mill type of deal.

For what it is worth, NewEgg had an $83 deal on the Kingston A400 480GB SSD a while ago. Now that was a deal.

$232 for a 1 TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD. Seems like a pretty good deal.

It's been a sucky two weeks. State of my PC right now:

So, my Corsair H100 AIO cooler was going. I heard crackling/fizzing noises from the unit, and I went, that's okay, it's 6 years old at this point. Decided to get a Noctua NH-U12S, and go back to air cooling for less hassle and less noise. Had a Corsair 275R with tempered glass side, and a Corsair RM750x PSU that had been sitting for a few months at this time (wanted to start getting new rig together but money problems put that on hold) so I figured, okay, may as well move it to the new case, put in the new modular PSU, new cooler and get everything nice and neat.

After doing cable management and trying to get everything as neat and nice as possible... the Corsair PSU turned out to be a lemon. Okay, whatever, it's got a 10-year warranty, time to RMA.

After filling out a ticket, talking to CS at Corsair, I decide to file for an advanced RMA where I put down a deposit via CC, they ship a new replacement out, I ship the defective unit back and then they refund me. Only... the tracking number that shows up says it's going to Calgary. WTF? Call UPS, and they tell me that it's not being shipped to me, it's some other dude in Calgary. After 4 days of dealing with Corsair CS and trying to get them to figure out what is going on, they finally give up and admit they don't know where my replacement PSU is, and ship out a new replacement PSU today.

Still waiting on the tracking number on that one... but so far this has left me with a piss-poor impression of Corsair Customer Support.

My bad just look at the spec again

I'm contemplating trying to build a 3000$ computer, but the damn gtx 2080ti is gonna kill most my budget hahaha

ram is expensive, intel cpu is expensive, video card is expensive. Neither of them is so much quicker than the last gen.
