2080ti is still stupidly priced, hence the 2080. Same with the 9900k, but budget permits so might as well I guess. Make sure to quote people in your replies so we know when you do.

ty will look into it

Don't get the 9900k, insane waste of money for gaming

Wait until January 11th before buying. CES happens on Jan 8-11th, lots of products releasing. AMD is the keynote speaker on January 8th and may release new CPUs that look like they could very well take the crown for the new king of gaming (not a value thing, just straight up best). Anyways, it's a long shot that they release a top end sku at CES, but 5 days is not long. You might as well wait since the best CPU can be cheaper and faster if it does come out.

ya will be waiting till i get my tax refund.. just looking into components now

[mcloude]

No...Team Blue crapped their Pants with Team Reds Tech....and next year looks Promising getting clocks up.  They really do have strong Legitimate 6 and 8 cores...But yeah they finally caught up. It's a no brainer to go with AMD right now. 

 

I won't pay that and their monopoly...you get 80% of the Performance for almost half or less.

And Nvidia is Monopolistic too and non-competitive practices with Dev's use only Nvidia's Optimizing and Implementation. 

 

Nooo past few years is what makes it look absolutely awful in the Industry again....Help AMD Build back the Empire.
