Thats another thing I was looking at, I like the backplate on the titanium much more and it will match with my build much better then the gaming version.

Hello there! Looking to upgrade from my 1060 6GB sometime in the near future, and I am eyeing a 1070ti. The cheaper ones here in canada (that have better coolers) are the MSI 1070 Ti Gaming and Titanium. The gaming edition is on at memory express for $529.99 CAD with a $20 mail in rebate that would make it $509.99 CAD, and the Titanium edition is $549.99 with a $30 mail in rebate that would make it $519.99 CAD. I hear that the titanium does have a better cooler with another heatpipe, so I am just wondering if it is worth paying the extra bit of money up front to get that card instead of the gaming edition one, or if the cooling benefits are worth the extra money. Thanks.

Hello, Now with the RTX Lineup coming out, I am looking at getting a new GPU soon because my 1060 6GB does not run some newer games on higher settings getting in the 100's of FPS, so I was wondering if a 1070TI would do the job for gaming on a 1080p monitor at 144hz in case the 2070 does not retail for $499 USD like Nvidia says they will (With price exchanges, a 2070 should be around the price of a 1070ti here in canada). I have a I7-7700, So I wouldn't think bottle necking would be an issue for me. Thanks.

Still don't believe any numbers until reviewers get their hands on them, I don't think it says what settings those games were measured at either.

Ah, okay, must be backordered a fair bit.

According to NVIDIA's 'news' site, the 2080 and 2080TI are coming out in September, and the 2070 comes out in October, odd how it doesn't say when the 2080ti will ship on the 20 series page on NVIDIA Geforces site. (Source: NVIDIA)

Not sure if this will change your plans, but the RTX 2070 is not supposed to be released until October (Source: NVIDIA). Its hard to say anything for a specs list so far since we don't really know what will bottleneck those new GPU's, but you do need atleast a 650W PSU and your likely better off with a newer gen CPU.

Yep, more then likely its your fans starting to go bad since they are cheaply made. You can press down with a finger on the fan bearings until it stops spinning, and the noise should stop (Unless you have more then one bad, but it should go more quite in that case). You can contact Cyberpower for fan replacements and they send them for free. I've replaced 3 fans so far though, and they are starting to go bad again so if you don't want to change them out every few months and you don't want to contact cyberpower every time your better off buying some better fans off newegg, etc..

Might get a 2070 once they even come out and when reviews come out for them, that or I might pick up a 1070 of some sort when prices die down. My 1060 struggles running 144Hz at 1080p in some games on the higher settings. Wouldn't pre order online anyways since the customs and stuff that gets slammed on stuff coming into canada. better off waiting for newegg and other sites.

Deathadder Chroma has not been produced in quite a while and it has been replaced by the Deathadder Elite a while ago, so if it was listed as brand new theirs a bigger chance it is fake. I don't see many brand new ones for sale now. Also, is that warranty thing on the top a sticker or is that a part of the packaging? As far as I know Deathadder Elites never came with anything like that on the boxes (At least my never). You can also try to register the mouse with Razer for the warranty, then you can see if it is a fake serial number or not.

Here in Canada Bestbuy and Staples have the best price match policy I know of (And Walmart has a semi good policy if you are looking into peripherals and laptops, etc.). Not sure if its only local Bestbuy's, but the one here is not strict at all with price matching. Went to get a price match on my desktop when I went to buy it since I thought I saw it at staples for ~$200 CAD less, and I find out it was the model without an SSD on Staples, but they still gave me the price match anyways (and now I go to bestbuy whenever I buy anything :P). Likely different online though.

Was looking into the last gen vivobooks but I am going to wait and see the pricing and such of those ones, they look quite better IMO and they come with the full size keyboard as well. In the case they are past the budget I have (The old Vivobook was in my budget), I'll just pick up one of the older ones out now when they go on sale.

Yeah, I would have gotten a 1070TI at the start if it was out when I was making this PC and if the prices were not mad. At the time I only had an old HP 1080P 60Hz screen anyways so the 1060 was plentys and it still does everything I need it to do for now. I might wait to see if this card gives out before the warranty goes on it, EVGA has just given people the equivalent of their card in the next series if they do not have any of the older ones left.

My 1060 6GB is good enough for gaming on around med-high settings 1080p with an 144Hz monitor in most games, but If I had the time back I would have gotten a 1070 or a 1070Ti. Might end up upgrading yet, not sure yet. It does have some issues running brand new games on those specs (ex. The Crew 2 Beta).

Maybe BLD by NZXT? I know they sell prebuilt PC's for a flat fee and they have everything at MSRP. It was either Linus or someone else who mentioned that they have GPU's at MSRP. United States only though.

Razer have been doing this since around the end of last year on purchases over a certain price range, if you look in the Razer Subreddit or Razer Insider there are several posts about them asking and many people thought it was a fake email just looking for information. They say it is for "Security Reasons" and I kind of believe them, not sure why they go as far as asking for employment information though. I've used Razer Products for over the past five years, but I will never order off the Razer Store itself, mainly because of the custom fees for items coming here to Canada but also now because they want personal information when there are many other less personal ways to confirm bigger orders like this. For Razer and pretty much all other companies I just wait for the item to go to a retail or online store in my country so I don't need to deal with different custom issues, and in the retail store case I could just return it if it is broke instead of having to ship it away and wait months for it to get back.

Sorry for the late response, but BestBuy, Staples and Newegg. I find most of the laptops on Amazon and other sites don't normally beat prices on those, but if you do find something better or know of something I know Bestbuy and Staples can price match pretty good. I would rather buy local so I find out if I like the laptop or not first. EDIT: Seems like Costco got some new laptops too if you can recommend anything there. Saw this Dell Inspirion 15 7000

Interesting, never really looked at any of the two in ones yet. Might see what other rigs come out with that APU, seems like that is the only one bestbuy has right now.

Hello everyone, I'm in the market for a new laptop since my gateway one is starting to go to the dump, just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for what I could get Mostly looking for: Something good for School, Internet Browsing and Video Playback and maybe super light gaming and video / photo editing 15 Inch screen, might go with a 14 Inch if its the right price Would rather something of a darker color but It doesn't matter much This part is mainly just me, but I would rather something with an Intel CPU since I have had nothing but trouble with AMD based laptops in the past. I would also like to stay away from Acer because of the issues I've had with them too. There are a couple I have looked at so far but they seem a bit expensive Asus VivoBook S 15.6 (I5-8250U, 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD). 256GB would be enough for what I will be doing, and if I do need more I think I could add another drive or change them out Dell Inspiron 15.6 (I5-8250U, 256GB SSD, 8GB DDR4). Reviews on this one are kind of driving me away from it though. Really never had much time to look around, but if you do have any recommendations keep in mind the Canadian price change if your not from here :P. Thanks!

Aha haven't been on here in a while but I'm from St. Johns!

Sorry for the late responses, but here you go: Newegg Staples BestBuy Those are the main ones I know of and Amazon Canada, but most prices on there are not good from what I can tell laptop wise. I would also rather something off of bestbuy or staples for say since they are local stores and I could go see if I like the laptop before I buy, but if there is something on newegg I know bestbuy can price match it and take 15% more off from the difference of the price (For example, something $499 on Newegg could be price matched at Bestbuy that is normally $450, and then it would be another $7 ish dollars off). Not like its that much of a difference but honestly any money I can save I will take I was mainly looking at I5's since I heard the newer ones are pretty good for the money and I kind of want something quad core just incase I ever do some kind of video rendering project for class, but if you can find a good one for a decent price I'll take a peek at it. Thanks

Not really other then the price range, and I would like a 15 inch screen since that is what I am used too but I might be able to get used to a 14 inch screen, but I wouldn't really want to go any smaller then that. Just to play videos, do some school work using Google's tools (Docs etc), and maybe some very light gaming every now and then but nothing that much where I would need a big dedicated graphics card, and I would rather go Intel since I have had more luck and better experiences with them in the past.

Hey everyone, Just looking in the market for a new laptop right now, and Asus VivoBook S one has caught my eyes. Don't really know about the newer 8th gen intel chips when it comes to laptops all that much, but by doing some quick looking this is a mid range for a I5. The past two laptops I have had are AMD based and they have had many issues, So I don't really want to go the AMD Way again. I would not need anything better then an I5 and the Intel Graphics for what I would be using it for (Video Watching, maybe some school work and some very very light gaming that my old laptops could handle too), and I would not need all that much space either since the current laptop I have only has a 350GB hard drive or something like that. Anyways, does anyone know if this is a fairly good laptop? Not looking for anything with an amazing build quality, just something that could last me a bit longer then those past too. If not, what other ones would you recommend? Budget is capped at around $900 CAD plus tax like this laptop is. Heres it is: ASUS VivoBook S 15.6" Laptop - Grey Metal Thanks

Yeah, The Corsair ones have been attracting me because they come with the lighting node pro already, and they are on sale on Amazon Canada for $125 CAD, down from the $150 CAD MSRP. The Hue+ is around $55 CAD plus the $33 CAD for each fan, and I need four of them. Never saw them before, They look quite good and that is a good feature, might look into them more. I have the IN WIN 303 Case, and so far with my experience with this case (Although a prebuilt) has been quite good build quality wise.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has dealt with RGB fans of any sort, and if anyone could recommend a certain brand or fan. I have been looking at the corsair LL series 120mm fans, but I am not sure on how hard they are to hookup (I already have a prebuilt build) that I would be using them in. I also looked at NZXT fans, but it seems like the LL Series ones have better customization and would not cost as much by the time you add the Hue + etc.. Thanks.
