eh, he screws up builds pretty often. remember $1700 build log? somehow the GQ turned into a NEX  and linus, luke or anyone at LMG didn't give a single shit, multiple messages to them and they didn't even acknowledge it.

Remember $1000 build log?

Oh yeah rigor isn't LTT's forte. Their videos aren't why I'm here, it's the community that's built around a well moderated forum

don't like builds where you compromise too much to get a better gpu, would have gotten a 580/1060 6gb and 16gb+240gb ssd instead.

Oh god don't do $70 for 8GB RAM. There's a G.Skill 2800MHz kit for $58. And you can choose a case that doesn't suck with that money

Also I would give the non modular CX450 (2017) the edge between it and the CXM because of a better fan bearing (@strmfrmxmn dammit why is tagging broken will have to confirm)

i picked cxm for modularity cables

and the RX 580/1060 6gb can do 1440p, at high-ultra.

At 30fps ish. I'd get a 1070 imo. But if you want an SSD

 

The build I made was just mainly showing that it is possible to make an even better build for $850, not that it is a balanced well thought build in anyway

Modular cables won't save you when your PSU fan dies and you have to change it

Well not with amazing framerates I think at $850 you can justify a 1070 on a 1440p build. Take a look.

Ima go with TechPowerUp here.

 

in list from this review: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Sapphire/RX_580_Nitro_Plus/6.html

 

Anno 2205: 24.3 fps (don't count this one it's terribly optimized)

AC: Syndicate: 62.0 fps

BF1: 72.9 fps

Civ VI: 55.9 fps

CoD: Another one: 80.9fps

Deus Ex Mankind Divided: 37.1 fps

Dishonored 2: 45.9 fps

DOOM: 65.3 fps

F1 2016: 61.1 fps

Fallout 4: 64.1 fps

Far Cry Primal: 47.9 fps

Ghost Recon: Wildlands: 28.9 fps

GTA V: 71.9 fps

Hitman: 67.7 fps

Resident Evil 7: 70.7 fps

RoTR: 50.3 fps

Shadow Warrior 2: 61.3 fps

Sniper Elite 4: 53.6 fps

Styx: Shards of Darkness: 49.2 fps

TW3: 45.2 fps

TW: WH: 36.6 fps

WatchDogs 2: 34.6 fps

 

Well I'd say it does put up a real good showing in many titles but as you approach newer ones it is coming up below 50 fps. You can definitely game on a 580 in 1440p, don't get me wrong. It's an option to consider.

[RadiatingLight]

Wait...

How is the EVGA B2 better than the B3.

Seems slightly counterintuitive.

Model numbers don't always equate to how good the actual product is.

Those are averages. So if the game runs 50fps avg then there is a high change his min will be way lower, below 30 for example
