Got a spare 1080ti

So, I was lucky enough to strike a really good deal for a 2080ti phoenix (got it for USD 200).

I have an 1080ti from before and don't really need the money from selling it. What would you guys so with it?

 

Tempted to build an alright computer with it so my girlfriend can play, but I'm not sure what parts to get. I would not need a balls to the walls computee, just something that runs games and doesnt bottleneck the 1080ti too much.

 

Budget: cheap as possible, looks doesnt matter but will go for a closed case probably.

 

Any cool ideas? Throw them at me, can do something fun with it too..

 

Edit: If possible, a VR computer would be an idea also. Have an x62 kraken cpu cooler laying around that is not in use.

Just throw what you already have in the new PC, then buy the rest of the stuff necessary to make it work. Every time you trade, you lose some money. Might as well do less trade.

Hmm, just main thing im looking for is what cpu to get that is minimum for the 1080ti to stretch its legs a bit. Budget for build? Usd 1000 maybe?

It's gonna be a lot more than alright with a $1000 budget and a 1080 ti on top.

 

This is a more economical build if you don't want to get too spendy

If you're doing b450 you might as well consider the 2700x and 2600. Over here in euro land at least both are now a bit or a LOT cheaper then the 3600. Alternatively, you might consider spending a bit more and upgrade parts for your main rig and put the used parts in your secondary much like you did the 1080ti.

For a budget SSD I'd also consider something cheaper then a samsung. Kingstons A2000's have  my vote for cheap but very fast SSD's. At the price of that one evo you could buy 2 500 GB A2000's heck. at the price of that evo plus the caviar blue you can get a 500 and 1TB kingston m.2 drive and have full SSD storage at the same capacity.

Don’t like that build. Swap thst hdd for s barracuda or something, swap the case thst has bad airflow just go meshify c or something, add a hundred or two watts to psu and spend rest of money on better cpu. Swap the m.2 for a Corsair one or even intel p660

 

usd hurts my head.

that would be a downgrade

meshify C is good, but the H500 has decent enough airflow and is pretty. Case preference is up to OP I guess.

literally no reason to do that, at all. The whole rig will draw 400 watts.

like I said, it's more economical. toss a 3700X in and you're still under $1000.

no reason to, NVMe is useless for gaming and Corsair SATA SSDs are pricey too.

He’s got £300 breathing room so might aswell upgrade some parts.

 

thinking just add a few hundred watts cuz rmx gonna last ages so next build might aswell make it last for maybe a tenner more.

 

3700x deffo

 

h500 has decent airflow? I’ve been told it’s horrific.

 

barracuda would be downgrade? Isn’t caviar blue a PATA drive?

PATA is ancient, totally obsolete. It's a SATA drive.

It doesn't stand out but it is sufficient. It does look pretty terrible airflow wise but it surprises.

more watts =/= more life

As in next build if they need more power they will have it rather than power supply go to waste after 1 build.

 

 

e.g next time might want to do s bigger build so just spent the extra tenner or so I say so and be safe.

 

 

i swear caviar blue is PATA... I will check in morning but I had bad experiences.

a 550 watt PSU can handle seriously high end hardware, it's doubtful the prospective upgrades for this PC will exceed even 500 watts. Even my own PC, an overclocked i7 and titan, pulls 400 watts.

if it was it wouldn't be compatible with the parts list I made.

I am still just a bit mystified why there is a 140 dollar 512gb sata SSD in that build when you can get 1TB of NVMe for under a 100 now though, like that 760 evo should not cost 140 bucks at all. I can pick it up for considerably cheaper. Even if you call it useless for gaming, it still beats SATA 2.5 inch drives in convenience and speed. And that seems an AWFULL lot of money for a SATA SSD.

I just checked. Caviar is the old drives by wd. Can confirm it’s PATA, however on pc part picker it appears it just glitched or something as the links take you to normal blue.
