    I just said my reason was 4K HTPC card, the 1030 can do it as it has a HDMI 2.0 port.
  2. Clyne
    That's not the point...a 750 Ti can't do 4K 60HZ from it's HDMI port.
  3. Clyne
    It is the cheapest GPU with HDMI 2.0, it's still viable as a 4K HTPC card.

    Think I might just wait out on a sale with some 550W-650W gold PSU(Seasonic G, Focus/Plus, G2/G3, TX), unless I can get that deal with the G3 750W for $80 again.

    So just when I was going to buy the TX550M, went OOS rip. I was thinking about this PSU instead, it's tier 2 on the list. Cheaper than the TX550M after rebate... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074ZKXM72/?tag=extension-kb-20&th=1

    I figure it would still draw 450W minimum, but I'm looking for a reliable PSU under $50. Seems like the TX550M would be the best.

    This might be stretching it, there's a sale on the TX550M for $45 but not sure if it'll power my components with headroom.... Q6600 (OC'd) 8GB DDR2 GTX 480 (OC'd) 8800 GT(PhysX)

    You don't need a SLI bridge, but it's probably better to use it as a 2nd PC card or folding rather than PhysX. I didn't see much gains from using GTX 680-780 as a PhysX card on my 980 Ti, I'd probably just get a cheap 680 if you truly want PhysX. PhysX is great an all, but it's hardly being used nowadays. To enable PhysX, just simply have the card in the 2nd slot and enable it in Nvidia Control Panel.

    It opens up the possibly getting a K CPU and overclocking it for better performance, but the i3-8100 is fine for 1080P 60HZ. Just consider what do you want in the future, in terms of gaming res and refresh rate with games.
  10. Clyne
    It's not a bad deal in your situation, you could possibly get a used i5/i7 chip later down the line if you need more power. But I still think 4C/4T is fine for gaming, 1080P 60HZ will handle it with no problems. Is the motherboard Z370? It opens up the possibly getting a K SKU.
  11. Clyne
    Depending on the parts, it's might a cheaper solution to do a small upgrade with a better cpu and gpu rather than getting a whole system.
  12. Clyne
    Alright I'm wrong there, no need to be quite toxic about it. It was me not knowing where he was and just assuming location.
  13. Clyne
    Ok the 8100 build wouldn't be a bad idea, considering new alone for majority of parts would cost 700 USD minimum. Considering you have a 570, are you using something sandy bridge wise?
  14. Clyne
    Used market is different anyway, yes I know I'm thinking about US prices but I thought the OP was in the US. There's other things that I didn't factor in as well, I just put together a list of parts that met the "8100/1060 3GB" idea without knowing what motherboard, case, psu used as well.
  15. Clyne
    Where do you live exactly, but I think getting a 2200G is pointless considering it's iGPU is comparable to your 570.
  16. Clyne
    Even with used prices, build in general isn't worth 600-700 USD.
  17. Clyne
    If you went on the new, I think it's not really worth it unless you can lower it down to $500-550.

    Everybody has different standards I guess, I'd take a thin ultrabook and use cloud gaming services or eGPU if i wanted some sort of gaming.
  19. Clyne
    I'm not sure why you oppose using Dell, but they really have nice laptops that fit your needs except for the GPU. They are using the latest 6C processors, and now the use of a 1050 Ti in a business "ultrabook" like. It's not a 1060, but it's damm impressive considering they have a 1050 Ti in a ultrabook. The key here is that they still look business professional like, with somewhat the performance for gaming. The only part I see lacking is the GPU and brand name, otherwise it meets all of your requirements of look, battery life, display, ram, storage. There's the option of having a 4K touch IPS display. https://www.pcworld.com/article/3267665/laptop-computers/dell-new-xps-15-9570-specs-features-price-release-date.html I'd still wait for reviews of the laptop, It was only just announced and pre-orders are starting on the 16th.

    Yeah it does, from the Biostar motherboard leak. I'm interested in the "95W TDP" though...wondering if that's the TDP of the 8C cpu.
  21. Clyne
    Even before coffee lake 6C came out, there were leaks and rumors about 8C on Z390. I was planning on upgrading from 7700K to 8700K until I saw the 8C rumor. Anyway Z370 is basically a rushed chipset that they did to compete with Ryzen, I think of it as Z270 with higher support. Z390 is an entirely new chipset, rather than a rebrand/refresh. http://hexus.net/tech/news/mainboard/110231-intel-z390-readied-support-8c16t-processors/

    Put BCLK at 102.9MHZ, that's the max BCLK clock before the lock comes in.
  23. Clyne
    You don't need any other cables, just hook up the PhysX card as normally. Make sure to click dedicate to PhysX in Nvidia Control Panel.
  24. Clyne
    I'd tried out on my S9+, i'd still probably prefer playing Fortnite which is more polished on iPhone.
  25. Clyne
    Sure, depending on the card and proof of overclocks. Anyway the 980 Ti OC'd beats the 1070 stock/overclocked regardless, just that the 980 Ti lacks 2GB less while using more power than the 1070.
