  1. I've seen some in stock 6 or 7 times in the last few days. If u are serious about buying one then u definitely should be going to nowinstock.net/videocards/nvidia After that if u don't have a eagle eye then I definitely recommend signing up to the site and then using their text and email "In Stock Alert" options.
  2. The baby clue Sapphire has a quick stintthis morning at 10:20 am EST. Was sold out in 5 mins. HERE is the baby blue version, looks cooler (if it matches ur color scheme lol). IIRC the babu blue card is a bit cheaper but has a slower core clock.

  4. I was on a tight budget, but im a avid gamer and want to gameon settings that excite me. The components l got are NOT components l would usually use in one of my personal rigs but since i had a specific budget which if I told you what I have into the Rig you wouldn't believe me anyways so I will just say, yea thecomponents I have in the rig might be extremely desirable by someone, would that someone be me? Not normally, am I glad to have then? Very mucb so, it allows me to start gaming again! And like l stated in my other post, I searched on components for 4 months finding deals I wanted to pull triggers on, like the Pro SSD you mentioned, yeaI could have just went to Amazon and bought the Samsung 500GB EVO SSD, but since I was taking my time anyways, why not just keep my eye out? I went to visit a local PC Shop in the next town over the next month and he had a 512GB SSD Pro, I asked him how much he wanted for it and he said $150 (was a demo model. New and unused but was om the shelf), I told him I'd keep looking, 20 minutes later I found a PC case I wanted to use for my Cousins build which was the AZZA Ttian and I asked what he wanted for that and he said $60, I kinda acted like it was more then i wanted to spend, but frankly my cosuin have me $100 for her case but he didnt need to know that right? So I mentioned to him that I woukd give him $190 for both the Pro SSD and the AZZA case and he accepted so in the end I purchased the Pro SSD for $10 cheaper then the EVO would have cost me, plus I didnt have to wait for shipping. Basically l just like playing the long game and have patients. At the time I knew I had to save around another $500 so I could have the money to buy my GPU, Motherboard and something else, cant remember off hand, but non the less since im broke I knew it wws going to at least take a few moremonths to save the $500, so why rush into any buy? In w budget situation like that anyways lol. Shit i bought ALL the components for my Cousins PC in one day lol, but frankly she didnt care what it cost either. Haha. Rich
  5. THIS is what gets to me! I mean keeping a eagle eye all day trying to find deals on major sites and mark it up $100-$125 on eBay I can see and understand, I mean your basically spending hours working for it. But DAMN listing a RX 570 (it's a 8GB 570 but still) for $700! Is literally just crazy!
  6. If anyone wants a 4gb rx580 strike quickly Here And Here EDIT: sorry I took to long, both gone EDIT #2: I literally left the room for 10 minutes to feed my dog when I got the text lol, sorry guys & gals EDIT #3: My friend did send me a text though, THIS site has a MSI 8GB Model available, BUT it's listed at $399.99 with free shipping. 399.99 maybe the borderline for some peeps
  7. Yea, gotta have luck on those major sites. I know that Newegg has THIS one in stock for a record breaking 3 minutes, BUT was listed at $249.99 AND it's a 8GB model. Although I know nothing about the Power color brand.
  8. Not even close, not at official sites at least. eBay maybe but a regular NON 1070 is going to be at LEAST $450 and that's ONLY if you catch it in stock at a major outlet, otherwise you looking at $500+ easy from eBay and 3rd party Amazon Sellers. Yet I got my XFX 8GB GTS Black Core Edition for $300 plus Newegg's $4.99 shipping.
  9. Actually the prices of RX 580 has dropped quite a bit just in the paSt 2 weeks, BUT that's official sites, Newegg, Jet.com, B&H Photo, etc. But like I mentioned in the OP it's very hard to find them in stock, the window is usually 5 minutes, MAYBE 10-15 if they post at a weird hour. That's why your best bet is to notake only use nowinstock.net, but also use their text and email alerts. That's how I got mine, and I got in the window for the 8GB Sapphire earier tO'Day on Newegg for $380, I didn't have the money but wanted to grab two (two was limit) because they sell like hot cakes on eBay for $580-$600 + $25 shipping.
  10. My Rig. (Remember STRICT budget) Case: Corsair Carbide SPEC-01 (wanted it in white, was sent in black, didn't care enough to exchange) Motherboard: MSI X370 SLI PLUS CPU: AMD Ryzen 1800x AIO CPU Water Cooler: Deep Cool Captain 240mm in Red PSU: EVGA SUPERNOVA G1 80+ Gold 650 Watt (I'll upgrade later if I ever decide to add another 580) RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance RPG GPU: XFX GTS Black Core Edition 8GB SSD: Samsung 512GB Pro Monitor: LG 29" 21:9 Ultra Wide w/ FreeSync (29UM60-P) Headset: Audio Technica ATH-AG1 Keyboard & Mouse: Logitech Think that about sums it up, maybe I forgot some thing lol iono, I mean I didn't mention I got all Corsair Replacement fans for every fan available, including the two high static for radiator and I bought a 5.75" to 3.5" Adapter because I bought a 3.5" bay Card Reader to help with my business, but other than that I think that's about it. Any questions on the Rig send them via Message and we'll keep the post for the RX 580's Thanks all, Rich
  11. Hi Everyone, So I am disabled and ended up selling my high end Intel Gaming Rig last year to start a business and for the past 6 months I've been pinching pennies to build myself a decent new Gaming rig. I'll give a complete run down at the end for anyone interested but basically for the past 4 months I've been keeping eagle eyes everywhere looking for deals, clearances, open-box or anything else to allow great deals and quite frankly I think I put together a hell of a Rig for my extremely tight budget. That being said, I wanted to get a GTX 1070ti GPU, but was DEFINITELY out of my budget so I decided on a RX580 8GB GPU, hardest part (if I wanted to stay on budget) was actually finding stores with something in stock! I ended up finding one and ended up with a XFX GTS Black Core Edition, which has great reviews (haven't used it yet, though everything came in, I ended up having to exchange my AIO CPU Water Cooler, so will fire the Rig up on Wednesday). Basically though I am wondering, while scouring for components I really noticed there is quite a lot of different brands and models of the RX580 out there and was wondering if anyone has been able to do tests on a fair share of different cards by chance? I know if you only have ONE RX 580 then obviously THAT one is the best! =-P But yeah I'm just curious even if maybe you only compared 3 or 4. As I was doing my research I've definitely noticed a "Head of theach Pack" RX580 as far as reviews and sales, which is the Sapphire NITRO+ 8GB Card, THIS one here. Anyone have that specific card? And how do you like it. Thanks for your time, - Rich P.S. I'll make a 2nd post with my Rigs "Build Sheet", isn't anything special but hopefully will get the job done.
  12. Hello All, So I have a quick question. I have been focusing in launching my new business and I really have not been keeping up with any of the new tech over the last 6 months or so. Now that I kind of have my business going in the right direction, etc. I would really like to start getting back into PC Gaming! But I am going to have to build a new gaming rig and like I mentioned earlier I havent been keeping up with whats "best". Back 6 months ago I planned for ny next gaming rig to be built around a Ryzen 1800x CPU, but I am not sure if this is the route I should still go? I can tell you that I will be using a GTX 1080Ti Hybrid GPU. As far as the CPU, I am kinda stuck between 3 of them but I could be easily persuaded to go a different route hehe. As of now it is either a Intel 7800x, a Intel 6800k or a AMD Ryzen 1800x. I will be needing it to be as cost effective as possible and although the 7800x CPU has come down in price, the 299x motherboard is still pretty pricey. Anyways I wouldlike to get the communities opinion on which way to go with this new build. Thanks, Rich
  13. If I could afford it I would have gotten THIS, but I really needed a nice powerful machine to run CAD, etc. on for school and I got a deal on my Titan I couldn't pass up. I would have gave up the extra 4.5" of screen for lightweight, touchscreen and the 1060.
  14. I really like mine. I am not on the go to much but I don't see a problem with carrying it around if I find a decent backpack for it. They are larger and heavier than the razor blades tho, so if you are looking for something lighter than the razer are the way to go for sure, plus it's not touchscreen if that's important to you which I am pretty sure the razer blades are touchscreen. I personally love the nice large 18.4" screen on mine though.
  15. I just got myself a MSI GT80S Titan Laptop, I know its not the greatest in the whole world but it definitely is enough for me for right now. I allows me to game on it and also is enough that I can run my CAD programs for school courses, etc. I ended up having to sell my brand new rig that I loved very dearly but I am very broke at the moment so the only way I could afford to get a laptop that had the performance of this Titan I had to sell the new rig. I bought the laptop and put the rest of the money towards college costs, etc. Now that I have the laptop though I have a couple questions that hopefully someone can help me out with. 1) One of the frustrating thing is that the Power cord constantly likes to fall out if I move the computer around, is there a solution I can use with this? even if its a DIY type thing. I would like anything hehe. 2) What are the best overclocking settings for this bad boy? 3) Does anyone know if a good quality yet affordable Laptop Backpack for this large computer? the overall width is about 18" by about 13", so its quite large in the laptop backpack catergory. Everything im finding is over $100, im looking for something hopefully under 40, but between 40 and 65$ (US) and I am sure there is definitely things I cant remember but I will ask them when I remember them lol. Thanks, rich
