New Build

[nsinnott]

I'm back.

Ok, so now I'm curious. People have such vastly different ideas on how to spend the same amount of money, so I'm interested to see what all of you could build for $830 USD. More cores is better to a certain degree, but a quad core hyper threaded is minimum. And go!

(Don't include storage or PSU in the $830)

If looks are you main goal then why not get the Mastercase Lite 5 that comes with 3 RGB fans?

In complete honesty, I haven't heard of that case in a while, but if I were to get something like that, I would get the MasterBox Pro RGB, because I personally think it looks better.

Slightly over, but this is what I'd do with my Nvidia/case appearance bias

Thank you! Although I will say that the 1060 you have is out of stock... ?

*sigh* Figures. Showed as in-stock for the retailer it used for me.

Pricing with my custom retailer list put the cheapest RX 580 in the ~460 USD territory.  I'm pretty good at forgetting to turn that filter off.

It shows as in stock at OutletPC, but when you go to the website it's actually out of stock. Then Newegg shows it in stock, at almost $700 ?

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus. Just when it looked like prices were going to return to normal they do a complete 180 and then get even worse from there...

I know... I was looking a couple weeks ago, and prices seemed at least reasonable... now they're just absurd! I'll probably end up waiting until Volta, because there's no way I can afford this.

The day something with an R5 1600-level of CPU power and 1050Ti-level of GPU power merge onto one chip is the day we're saved.

 

Hell, it looks like even the lowly 1050Ti is getting pricefucked right now... Like ffs

That'll likely be next gen ryzen APUs with DDR5, or whenever they put HBM2 on the package with all the other chips, like just 2GBs or something

I'll still be waiting.

Won't be of much use to me personally, but I imagine my sister would get along just fine with something like that, seeing as she's still on an FX 6300 and RX 460.

It's a Rosewill Photon... Not the greatest, but I received it as a gift, and it works fine for me, and am getting nowhere near the amount of issues I was getting with my previous PSU (10v on the 12v rail, crap like that)

Photon is fine.
