The dude is approaching it all wrong though, rather than get licensing and helping Nintendo make some money off of it, he's literally just ripping it and claiming it as his own. There's a lot more videos showing his sources of these games and it's just from Chinese websites and all this other poor quality stuff. Soulja Boy is going down in history for this IMO.

AMD cards are always cheaper than their Nvidia counterparts for similar performance. An example: RX 580 is very comparable to a 1060 6gb. see this: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1060-6GB-vs-AMD-RX-580/3639vs3923 580 for nearly $190 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MBGxFT/msi-radeon-rx-580-8gb-video-card-rx-580-8g-v1 1060 6gb for $260 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vVWrxr/msi-geforce-gtx-1060-6gb-gaming-video-card-geforce-gtx-1060-gaming-6g There are tons of 580's going for less than $130 at the moment too on a few websites. And these are consumer prices, the savings on a contract with someone like Apple has to be extremely low. Also note that these are the full size GPU's and not the ones intended for Macs and laptops.

Cost efficiency.

Fans are usually the first thing to go on a GPU. Definitely just try out the new ones. If they are not long enough than you may able to solder them to the previous ones if you have experience with that.

Because they know people will still buy their products. AMD is taking full advantage of NVIDIA's current horrible performance.

If she practices as a lawyer, why be a jerk and keep a measly $100 board?.. If you made a mistake, you'd want your money or product back. Simply saying it's the other person's/business' fault isn't justifiable. I thought lawyers made good money, apparently not enough to stop from being a jerk and keeping an accidental shipment. But yeah, your girlfriend wouldn't be able to fight Paypal's lawyers, she would probably even tell you to just return the $100 board and not waste her time.

Yeah...but why

Here is this, but I guarantee you it's going to last you a long time. You can push high settings easily on those games. The 580 is on par with the 1060GB. I would actually buy the GPU first before anything else to get it at this price.

I'll tell you who talked him into this... YOOOOUUUUUUU

I didn't even know he had his own. I'll have to check it out.

Awesome man, well welcome. By the way, I'll tag him just to let him know you responded to him @TVwazhere

You need to use the reply button or @ someone to get them notified that you have responded. You need to either hit the little reply arrow at the bottom of the message or simply tag them to let them know you are talking to them.

At least they have been steadily going down, I bought my kit for $150 in September and the same kit can be found for 124.99-139.99. I also ready (I don't remember where) that dram prices all around are expected to drop drastically. Things are looking up for the PC world.

Nintendo loves suing. Can't blame them though, they always have a rough time due to PS4/Xbox/PC gamers. Emulators take away their income. Sometimes I wish these emulators were real, but I still side with Nintendo protecting their IP.

He already purchased the mentioned board and CPU.

My opinions: Great budget build start off. Love it. HDD: Buy a 2TB since it doesn't cost much more and you get twice the storage. RAM: If it's in your budget than get a 16kit, it'll be better in case she loves the PC more than expected and wants to get into gaming more or editing.
