Conflict

[♠FlamieMeister♠]

So I have decided to build a new build after I've had to deal with incredible bullshit on crossfire with AMD. I'm going for rn a 1700x, a MSI Gaming Plus x370 mobo, 8gb ddr4, a 62 dollar dual radiator water cooler, and now for the gpu.

 

Heres the problem.

I was gonna get RX 480 or 580, but that's near damn impossible to find. I was thinking about downgrading my mobo and cpu and getting a 1070, but I've had bad experiences with NVidia before (Believe it or not, worse then with the bs of crossfire). What should I do?

[♠FlamieMeister♠]

Budget is 850 btw at max. PSu I already have ready to go.

Do you really need 8/16?

Yes. I do a stupid amount of work at once, and my 4 core was lagging behind

Also Emulation, having to render stuff for school, and future proofing.

More than a 6/12 would be able to handle?

If you're playing on a 1080p monitor, I'd just go with a 1060. If you're playing on a high refresh monitor or 1440p, then I'd worry about the 1070.

Eh I don't buy the future proofing excuse. By the time it'll make a difference an upgrade to the new version of the lower cost CPU would probably make a greater difference.

I'm getting soon enough a 1440p monitor, and my monitor atm is 144hz

Then I'd save, if you don't think you can live with 2 less cores.

Ive been able to expand my budget by 200 to 250 by selling off some old phones.

Yup

Yup

 

it is really bad, I would say that 2 A10 cores = 1 Haswell/Ryzen core approx. in single core power

Would wait for 1060+ prices to come back down. They are still inflated due to atherium miners.

I could if I would. I've spent so little on getting tech parts and such that I'm not allowed to get cheap cards, or cheaper phones, or anything that's a good deal, like an s6. I am forced to get 2nd or best.

its 100 more than the 1070 cause 1070 prices are high af

[♠FlamieMeister♠]

Don't worry about storage. I got a 256gb m.2 drive right infront of me and a spare 3tb hdd.

I'll have to think about it.

that AIO is crap, if you are going that route get the h100i or something.

16 gb of ram is good

I can get rn from ebay a 1700x and 8gb of ddr4 for only 300, so I might think about that

no, you would benefit from 16 or maybe 32 in your usecase

[♠FlamieMeister♠]

Alright, so after some number crunching, I figure my MAX budget is 1080.
