it's actually not that easy to find ram with similar speed and timing if you're just gonna add in another 8GB

GPU is the least fussiest to drop-in

But another stick of ram is going to cost you less then $100 a GPU is going to cost you a lot more. Buy one stick now and use the money saved to buy a better GPU.

Id go for 16gb ram straight up

thats pretty much the standard these days

16 GB is less than $150 for DDR4 3000, why not?

8G ok for HTPC or general basic tasks
gaming I would start 16Gto keep your min. frame rates steadier

god damn that's cheap and 1080 gtx would be overkill for a 1080p display with 60hz...haha....

Its price is too high for me to afford .

Sold out before the sale started, taken off the website just before the sale went live :pokerface:

yea, saw that too. Refreshed the page at 6:28 and it was already "sold out".

Is there any benefit to ordering pc parts from the states? Or is it pretty much a wash with duty and exchange?

Depends on the deal. I bought my Samsung M.2. NVME SSD from B&H.

return/warranty can be a PITA
i'd say yes for better selection, but not for better price unless it's quite significant

128gb ram for 190$........price error....you either get the ram or you get a $25 gift card from amazon when they cancel....either way great deal...enjoy

Says $3385 now ...

nice...still have it in my existing orders for 189.99 with expedited shipping :)

holy...if they honor it for you that's gonna be an insane flip for profit.

If it comes I'll buy one or two for the nephews desk build :D

Ya. It will be insane if it goes through... Still not cancelled. I only need the 32gb lol.

oh man, i need 16gb! lol

Found this build on Reddit I might go this route frees up some funds for a good headset monitor keyboard etc.

Anyone know how the Black Friday deals are usually like for laptops? Trying to find an i5/i7 8GB ssd preferred laptop for around 500 (if possible) for school.

sounds reasonable
check dell in a few weeks (remember to stack coupons and get ebates)

just did a new computer build and monitors are driving me nuts.
I am used the the iMac 27" 5k displays, clear crisp sexy.

I got the 34" LG curved and looked super dull and text was a bit fuzzy in some applications.

What do you guys recommend for monitors? Only wish they sold the Surface Studio Display Seperately

Maybe you should get a 27" 4K display.

I currently have the Dell S2718D, but thinking about returning it for this monitor that I stumbled upon - https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX74242

I saw the samsung 27" 4k in store and quality was not good at all.
I got a lg ips 27" for $399 and the brightness and color is not on par as higher end monitors.

I ordered this one on amazon see how it goes.

PPI on that samsung is really now so I doubt clarity would be that good.
