I'm working on putting a pc together on pcpartpicker to get an idea on what its going to cost me to buy a gaming system that's gonna last me. Was going by recommendations of friends and have been watching tons of reviews for pc parts on youtube, and reading tons of them online. Based on the current build... My focus is entirely based around 1080p gaming, I have no desire to go to 1440p+. My goal is to buy a system that's going to last me. Any tips are welcomed. Was not sure if getting a 1070 ti would last me. Budget is around 2,000-2,200 without a screen, Buying a g sync screen that ASUS made on amazon that's $295 to avoid screen tearing and such.

Is this system over kill for 1080p trying to last 3-5 years? Is it not enough? Let me know.

Going to be buying a 144hz g sync monitor along side the system. So... likely 60-144 I guess on fps

I wanna be able to try PUBG, Monster Hubter World and a few other games on it. Not really certain just yet.

I just want a graphics card that can play games on high/ultra and a long time to come (3-5 or so years). Buying my first gaming pc and I rather it last me a while than to have dead components and wish I bought them new so I has warranty.

Would you say going with a 2070 rtx would be fine? I only wanna game in 1080p. Just looking for a card that's going to last doing 1080p (only) for a while.

Looking to buy a decent gaming pc to last me for a while. I see that used 1080 ti's tend to be around the 550-650 mark vs new being 900+. Would buying used come with any large risks of getting a broken card or a card that had been mined on or harshly overclocked, etc. Would anyone recommend buying used? If so is there any questions to ask a seller about the card?

That's what I ended up doing. I was not able to remove those partitions during normal windows installation. I ended up using a program to override permissions and format of them anyways. Now I'm on a completely 100% fresh install. I really hope the problem does not continue. Thank you to everybody that tried to help me.

What are the chances a different partition could be infected and repeatedly pass it back to the system partition? I've not been able to entirely reformat the other partitions on a reformat. Not trying to drag this post on but I'm most certain that my system is infected in some way.

Is there any kind of virus or similar infections that can last through a reformat? It's just crazy that they keep guessing my info, authenticator and bank pin in game... no way that's a coincidence...

Not certain on how to change my ip.

Runescape

My passwords are greater than 15 characters containing upper, lower and numbers and special characters... not guess able by any means... which is why this is confusing. The game has authentication, in game bank pins to prevent then from stealing items and such as well. They knew the information and had my authenticator as well...

In my laptop I have a ssd drive that I believe some how has been infected with a master boot record styled virus. Not sure how it works but I know a hacker has been watching everything on the drive because 6 months ago I had gotten hacked on a game I play. I had reformatted the drive entirely and had been the only person using this pc and specifically only to play that game. I got hacked again last week some how and once again reformatted the system. I decided not to play the game after being kinda burnt out on this whole situation... so after the reformat I changed all my info and my friend sent me a screen shot of my account logged in. That being said... is there a way to remove this virus? Or should I just remove the drive entirely and destroy it and buy a new ssd? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using it on my phone right now.

@LukeSavenije I'm trying to use the pcpartpicker's site but for some reason I'm entirely unable to view the site normally. Its currently preventing me from seeing any images on the site and a lot of the links on the site are failing to work at all. Not sure why. I didn't even know this site existed.
