FFS. I just spent a small fortune on components. GUYS STOP MAKING ME FEEL BAD!

That's pretty silly of them. Though maybe not to the point that we should never buy Asrock mobos. (Because I have one on the way and I don't want to feel bad.)

What happened to you 'MAD BOX' build...? RIP

The 1600x can definitely 'push' a 1080, on most games.

You lucky person!

The Fury is certainly not cheaper!

... and here I am still waiting for RX 580 to go back on the shelf.

Apart from the health and performance of the RAM, will that show if it has been used before i.e. up time? That is actually the lens of my phone camera. The sticks are straight. There is no protective cover. The scratches are on the logo sticker itself.

Hello people, So I've bought a Corsair Vengeance 2x8 GB 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM kit from Amazon, provided by a 3rd party vendor. They claim on the webpage that their products are 'New'. However, I can see some cosmetic degradation, namely the logo sticker and the metal contacts. I am not sure if these marks are normal, or if they are signs that they have been used. I would like the community's opinion on this. I have not been able to test them, as I do not have an available testing platform. Thanks!

What do you wish to do on your computer?

https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/Corsair-CMK16GX4M2B3200C16-Vengeance-DDR4-Memory/product/B0143UM4TC?context=search Yea, I'm just going to buy the kit now. Ebay isn't much cheaper either, and it requires more effort.

I thought that the 1060 6GB and 1060 3GB differ not only in VRAM size, but also in CUDA core count and clock speed?

Hey all. RAM prices are absolutely sky high right now. Does anyone know if they will drop at some point? Otherwise, I'll just bite the bullet and buy now, as it is in an ever increasing trend.

Anyway, I used to live in Fulham/ Kensington and there aren't any around there that would help you.

Used RX 580 are £300 - £400+ in the UK. No sign of dropping yet! Besides, rumour has it that new ones will come in September.

Yes graphics card prices are sky high nowadays. I am waiting for it to drop, hopefully in September, before buying a RX 580.

Hi guys, Does anyone here have experience with Palit graphics cards? They do not seem to be too popular, and aren't reviewed much. The reason why I am asking is because there are some relatively cheap Palit GTX 1060s on Ebay right now. I would just like to know whether they are worthwhile. Thanks.

Then I must have not expressed myself properly - for which I apologise. "I have a feeling that since the beginning, you are taking positive reasons for buying a R3 combo and Intel criticisms as personal insults. Please refrain from doing so" Here I am stating my feeling that you are taking other forum member's positive arguments for R3, and negative arguments for Intel as personal insults against yourself. I sincerely hope that CoffeeLake will be backward compatible. It would be a nightmare for AMD, but excellent for the consumer.

Please read my reply again with care. I did not make any allegations that you have personally insulted anyone. Nor did I state that you are narrow minded, but rather your statement was narrow sighted. Your opinion that spending on a R5 1600 is more beneficial is agreeable on its own. Though please do take into account that some people might have a tight budget now, but wish to plan for later. And, again, as The Benjamins and I proposed, buying AMD components now will allow for much longer term upgrade paths than what you have proposed. The future second-hand market, as I have stated above, will make it quiet affordable too. You may also say that the R5 1600 is only $70 more than the R3 1300, but keep in mind that to compliment the more powerful R5 1600, better components will be needed to take advantage of it, hence increasing the overall cost.

I have a feeling that since the beginning, you are taking positive reasons for buying a R3 combo and Intel criticisms as personal insults. Please refrain from doing so. Addressing your points, one could get a second hand R5/R7 in the future, as you did with i7 2600, and @The Benjamins' point is also a valid way to go. This addresses your second point also. Saying that "R5 1600 or bust" seems a bit narrow sighted. Currently for pure gaming builds, I would agree with that, and Intel's lineup would be a better choice. However, for multipurpose builds, R7 lineup are stronger, as they are more versatile, due to their higher core counts, affordable and accessible overclocking, and competitive pricing. I cannot answer "how people can endure an R3", as I do not see owning a R3 an unpleasant situation, but I would argue that this question would apply better to G4 pentiums and older generation, second hand CPUs which lack upgrade paths.

Over-hyped? Possibly. Flop? I wouldn't go that far. Physical cores is better than threads in this case. And upgradability is strong for AM4 combos. Even you agreed with that. And yea current games love core performance, so Intel wins there. Though that cannot be said for the future. And nice find for the i7 2600/k and 1155 mobo.

The question is: will the 1050ti be able to handle high settings in latter games. If not, then 2GB will be fine - you won't ever get to use high settings anyway. But 2GB does seem cutting it too close.

I forgot to mention that it will be in an ITX case, so if heat will be an issue in bigger case, that it defo will be for me. So 2.5 inch it is then. But I do like the idea of reducing clutter and cables in the case...
