wait so this man saying I can sell my r7 1700 @4ghz on water, (soontobe) 16gB ram, gtx 1080 evga hybrid, 3TB of storage and 256gb of SSD storage and 1080p 144hz (arguably more valuable that 4k) for 1500+ dang

The GTX 1070 is probably 400 - 450 USD (at least), the CPU might be 300-350 USD from what i remember, the RAM is probably at least 100 USD, the mobo is around 150 - 200 USD, and the case/cooling/RGB is maybe around 200, and the drive(s) are SSD's - around 200 USD. I may be wrong, though.
Most of these are old prices (especially the CPU), or at the most, "New". This is a used system... (how is a 256gb ssd worth $200????) 2014 is calling, it wants its prices back
Also as if the i7 4790K @4.2ghz is anything to write home about.

@TVwazhere The 7700k @ 5.1Ghz was slow imo. It's single core was insane, sure. But it's multicore or lack of is apparent.

@TVwazhere the 7700k is way better and its still shit.

A. The 4790k and 7700K are withing a few %'s of eachother. To claim it is way better is fairly inaccurate unless your gauge is strictly gaming only, and even then it has a less significant impact on the majority of games versus the GPU it's attached to.
B. The "still shit" portion is only relative to the amount of cores Ryzen now has ,and its relative computing power in things other than games. To say it's now shit while you're comparing your current system to a gaming purpose built machine that in all honestly will probably perform the same with the same GPU installed, is a bit hypocritical. Yes you do more things with your system than just game, but that doesn't make the 4c/8t older gens CPU's garbage for gaming just because you can now get double the cores that most games dont take advantage of anyways.

In some games that took advantage of my cores or didnt care it preformed better with ryzen. in every other situation in games the 7700k did better
