Posted October 25, 2016 Long story short, I'm preparing to build a new system that's going to be used for a wide range of things (From VR gaming, 4K gaming and game development) the card will be alongside an i7 6700K and 32GB 3000 DDR4 memory. Which setup would be more beneficial and why?

As well you can always add another 1080 or even sell the 1080 and use the funds for that for a 1080ti CPU-i7 6700k O.C. 4.6Ghz-Motherboard-Asus z170-a-RAM-24gb DDR4-GPU-EVGA GTX 1080 FE-Case-Corsair 400c (white)-Storage-HDD: 2xWD Blue 1TB SSD: PNY SSDSC120GLC709B121-510 120GB-PSU-1000 watt coolermax-Display-ASUS VG248QE Black 24" 1080p 144 Hz -Cooling-Corsair H115i-Keyboard-G.Skill KM780 Cherry MX blues (Red backlight)-Mouse-Logitech G602-Sound-Logitech 5.1 z506 Need a budget headphone for under 100$?

Posted October 25, 2016 Even if it's unlikely, I'd go for the 1080. It's always a better idea to be prepared for future upgradability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
