Hey all, so I've noticed in the current market the EVGA 1080ti FTW3 and the Nvidia Titan Xp are both going for about the same money. So what card should I buy? To start it will just be on air in my meshify c but will soon be converted to a custom loop. So what do you guys think? My pc will be used for gaming, streaming and video editing. I will also be running my ecommerce store from this PC. Ive looked at all the data I could find from Linus and Gamers Nexus so let me know your opinion.

Should have just gotten an R5 2400G, if you actually already bought the system, sorry I couldn't save you.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

From what I've seen, the 1080 ti isn't gonna go down in price anytime soon considering the terrible market that's going on. I'd go for the Titan considering there's similar performane and possibly a better price for your budget.

Intel i3-2120 Dual Core 3.3GHZ - Zotac Geforce GT 730 Zone Edition 2GB GDDR3 Memory - Samsumg 1333 MHz 3 x 2 6GB RAM - 465 GB Hitachi 7.2K RPM SATA HDD - Stock Dell 250W PSU - (upgrading the GPU to a 1050 and 2 more gigs of RAM ;))
