i got a calculator

u should go 4 cores, as u wont need more.
 
Having 4 cores and higher Ghz is better then 6 or 8 cores with lower Ghz
 
What yo u want is the highest Ghz you can possibly get for a single core and for the 4 cores working all the the same time.
 
 

Ram - is your short term memory and nerves
Motherboard - is your spine
CPU - is your brain
GPU - is what gives your eyes the ability to see color, the ability to see movement and see in 3d.
PSU - is your blood and heart
Fans - is your sweat
Mouse and keyboard - are your arms and legs
Speakers - are your ears
Monitor - is your eyes
Case - is your bone structure
HDD - is a 70 year olds long term memory
SSD - is a 20 year olds long term memory
 
Human = Computer
 
"Teacher whats a spine?"
*Oh yea.... the little shits dont know even basic biology*

also if your monitor is like 60hz and a 1080p no kidding a 2080 will hardly have to work to run those games.
 
A 2080 could easelly run a 4k monitor
 
It isnt a bottleneck the GPU simply has nothing to do. Its like giving a bodybuilder a 20kg weight to lift.

as long as you dont have low fps as in under your monitor Hz it does not matter what your video card runs at. Find a program to stress test your video card like Furmark, that will make the GPU go to 100%

For "heat free" your best option is to get something like a Raspberry PI and load up a linux distro on it and use that. About the lowest amount of heat you will find. Or maybe one of those intel PCs on a stick if they still exist.

"Monitor bottleneck" lol ?????????

I don't know if this has been a discussion in the past but I think that a dedicated VR subforum would be quite welcome.
 
There are quite a lot of threads asking about VR and the  various topics surrounding it and I think having a dedicated subforum with some pinned guides would make it easier to solve problems 

Thats like saying video games games in 80s and 90s were a gimmick, and next to what we have today they were, but that didnt stop any of us playing them none stop. 
 
I think it will still take a couple decades before VR will surpass PC gaming, since i dont see PC gaming evolution coming to a stop anytime soon.

not a gaming rig
not ram intensive

why not, they just make more money that way. 
 
Even if nvidia had nobody to compete with, gaming will still evolve and demand better cards. People will always want better fps for their games, if amd cant keep up that just means more money for nvidia, the further back amd gets the more money will nvidia make.

go with the cooler master hyper 212 evo, it's a really good fan for $20 https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-RR-212E-20PK-R2/dp/B005O65JXI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479221012&sr=8-1&keywords=cooler+master+cpu+cooler

Just thought some of you needed to see this:
 

laptops are like 2x more expensive then normal computers.
Prebuilt computers are like 1,5x more expnsive then self built computers
A self built computer for 500-600$ could prolly run games on 1080p. Though not sure if on ultra, prolly not.

that octa core must be crying itself to sleep every night that it has to work with a fcking 780 ti
 
and yes u can sli 2 1080
u can run three 1080s if u want

If you have friends then the OC value instantly goes up, for braging rights, that is actually 10x more important then worksation stuff.
 
If you have no freinds then OC is pointless.

Depends for what.

Somehow i doubt that there is anything where a:   laptop, 500$ and gaming can be put in 1 sentence 
 
however self built PC, 500$ and gaming, yes
 
indie games sorta need a gpu too nowadays, unless u mean minecraft

reacent does not mean better. Thats like saying vista is better then XP.
 
I like 10 but it is still far to new, A LOT of stuff does not work on it.

second one is better for gaming, proccessor isnt the most important part of a gaming pc.
 
Also imo games are starting to get to the point where 8gb of ram kinda sucks but will run sucks 16gb of ram is great

no difference. same processor but might be packaged differently.
