Hey People of the LTT forums. I just wanted to know what the price of an aftermarket 1070 would be(non founder's edition or fanboy's edition ). I read somewhere that the 1070 founders edition would be around 350 - 450$. I just wanted to know how much the aftermarket ones might be. I am pretty sure they are like 100$ cheaper. but idk. Pls help b0ss. -DarthPotato

Alright dude. Thanks. I think I will go with the 4GB version. Also, i am wondering if the PowerColor Radeon R9 380 PCS+ is any good. People say it gets hot, but they also say its due to fan speed. People also say that if you use MSI Afterburner with it and increase the fan speed, it runs very well. But I will probably just go with an MSI or ASUS 4GB version as they are more trusted.

Well Said bro. I am actually thinking about that as well, but I do have the stock case. Maybe I could just go with the 6500 instead of the 6600k(saving ~30$) and spend about 20$ more and buy the case.

Hey dude. Thanks for the response. So do you think i should just go with the 6500(save 30$) and buy a case? I don't want to spend 100 - 150$ on a motherboard as that is a bit too much for me at the moment. I have seen reviews where they say the 4GB version is only a little bit better than the 2GB version. But I assume you are saying that get the 4GB version due to the VRAM amounts games and other things might consume in the future.

You are right, but I already have a microATX case which I still can use and not hinder performance. But I will be upgrading the case on the lower tier build as I have the money to do that. Do you think that the lower tier build is good?

My budget for the cheaper one(pentium etc.) is about 300 - 350$ for the parts. My budget for the mid-level one(i5 etc.) is about 500 - 550$ the whole thing. I already have a case which I am going to use.

@snortings I was planning on overclocking my CPU depending on the actual benefit specific to the CPU. For example, on the pentium g3258, overclocking is pretty much a must to achieve good FPS etc. But im not so sure about the i5. But Yes, I think I will be overclocking my CPU. Also, I read on tom's hardware that you can use the B150M for non-k overclocking. Can this still work? Thanks, Darth Potato.

Hey All! DarthPotato here again. I currently own the HP Envy 700-216 PC and wanted to upgrade it. Not just the GPU as most people do. I want to upgrade the PSU, Motherboard, GPU, CPU and possibly get an All-In-One Water cooler. My main concerns are if the GPU will fit in the case, and the watercooler. If anyone can tell me if the PSU will fit as well, that would be greatly appreciated. I have two plans, either budget or mid-level, and I will be posting both of the ideal specs that I want here. Budget: CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 Motherboard: MSI H81M-P33 PSU: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 950 2GB Superclocked+ ACX 2.0 Video Card Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Mid-Level: CPU: Intel i5 6600k Motherboard: ASrock B150m Pro4 PSU: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply GPU: Asus Radeon R9 380 Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO RAM/Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black (2x4GB) I also wanted to know which setup is the future proof one. Thanks Again To Anyone Who Sees This! -DarthPotato
