been out of the loop on dram prices
but video card you should def buy used...but do ask if it's been used for mining
amd = MIA/KIA
nvidia = only allowing pre-orders but embargo'ing benchmarks until launch

Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($375.99 @ Newegg Canada)

Storage: Samsung - 970 Evo 500GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($213.99 @ PC-Canada)

Video Card: Zotac - GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11GB GAMING Triple Fan Video Card ($1538.99 @ PC-Canada)

Im still trying to decide on a case that i could add a few fans to if required and also thinking about a 4TB HDD

Im finally giving up on my MSI GT780dxr gaming laptop

Have you tried putting that into Partpicker to get the cheaper prices?

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/

Also, goddamn, half of that is the GPU.

Ya, that's where I got all the prices, just copied it onto the forum.

Ya the GPU hurts, I'm on the fence until I see benchmarks in it, which should be in the next couple days

used 1080 Ti, $700
new 2080 Ti after taxes, over $1700

latter is ~25% faster in traditional metrics (basically same tier as the 2080)
https://www.hexus.net/tech/news/grap...xv-benchmarks/

the industry as a whole won't start leveraging raytracing for at least few more years, IF at all

unless you absolute want the latest/greatest...seems like an awful buy, man

Does it make much sense these days to do a 1080ti sli? Or is sli slowly disappearing?

it's a shadow of its former self...developers simply don't want to bother coding for it
you can usually use tweaks like NV inspector to force it but it's hardly perfect (weird texture pop-ins, micro-stuttering, etc.)

I would advise against SLI esp if you have a budget

So looks like I'm going through with my build, I upgraded a few parts... So it's looking to be around $3900 taxes in. To save a 10-15%, would u say it would be worth it to buy over the black Friday weekend?.. Or do the high-end parts no go on sale very much?

When money was more important than time I used to order the parts I could get good deals on at Black Friday/Cyber Monday, then any parts I couldn't find a deal on I'd hunt down during Boxing Week.

i like that build with the i7-8700K,find a good enough water cooler you could easily overclock 5.1ghz on that,not sure if you could de-lid also on the chip.


32gb ram?...unless you're editing and or using auto cad for all that ram memory 16gb would be plenty for gaming alone.

RTX 2080 Ti would be worth it just to be more future proof and also better drivers will come in the future for even more fps.....it's a god at 4k gaming running 70 fps just to reach it

But you're talking a whole another bag of money for a 4k monitor and they do sell 4k 144hz for a pretty penny now.

black Friday too far away me thinks...if you have that kinda budget 10% savings is likely not worth waiting 2 months

Ya was thinking of delidding, but it seems pretty common to get 5.0ghz with stability with a decent aio.

Asus monitor looks pretty sweet, but for 2000$ i might wait.

Im very interested in the pimax 5k and 8k vr headsets

Put a dot anywhere in your email address. The site will think it's a different email address. Gmail ignores dots.

Like this:

Jimbeans.@gmail.com
Jim.beans.@gmail.com
J.imbeans.@gmail.com
Jimb.ea.ns.@gmail.com

Ebay will think they are all different allowing you to make new accounts with them. Gmail will think they are all the same.

Why on earth would Google ignore periods? Do they ignore other symbols that normally work in email addresses?

Dont no why it ignores the period period but it is awesome. You can actually set all email going to j.imbeam@gmail.com to go into a separate folder.

There is also the + prick. Add the + symbol after your email so you can add other words. Like Jimbean+hookersandblow@gmail.com

Funny thing about that, a long time ago I created a google account with a "." in it. I think they recognized it back then. Since then, someone made one with the exact same name, except with no "."

We both get their email

I don't know if he gets mine though. I don't really use that account

I think I'm going to swap out the 8700k for the 9900k and swap the z370 gaming 7 for the z390 aorus master. That will add another 500 to the price tag, but should be a nice improvement
