Posted February 11, 2018 Yeah, looks like a decent enough value. It'd cost about that in retail or probably way more because of increasing RAM / GPU prices. In fact if you're just gonna use this for gaming, sell 48GB out of that RAM for some $500 and you'll make a lot of the money back Make sure it's a legit deal.

Posted February 11, 2018 Current pricing wise even if we said $1000 for the GPU, that's like a $3700ish build very roughly... if it's legit, go for it. Sell everything but the GPU, build an 8700K system, profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 11, 2018 In the current market, it's certainly a good deal compared to what you'd pay new, but whether it's a good deal overall depends on what you're using it for. If it's just for gaming, it's expensive for the performance you'll get as there's a load of unneeded components that add to the price. Also, for comparison to new prices, here's a build with almost identical specs. Price is significantly higher.

I'm not him, but displayport can support multiple monitors off a single splitter provided that the monitors aren't 4K (i think) QUOTE/TAG ME WHEN REPLYING Spend As Much Time Writing Your Question As You Want Me To Spend Responding To It.

It's the 3 ultrawides, the 40in AND 70in via my Yamaha receiver duplication feature. Edit: Oh, I think I had a video where everything had something else on the screen. One of em was either playing Netflix or I had it on the 2nd card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
