Need Advice

[mkU1tra762]

I just sold my Alienware Laptop (which was my first gaming computer) so I could buld my first computer. I want to get it going ASAP but I dont know if it is worth buying a 10 series NVIDA card now or if I sould jus wait for the 1180/2080. I keep hearing that they are coming out soon but we still do't have a release date. I also dont know if the 8086K is woth purchasing since its pretty much a binned 8700K. Any help would be great.

If you keep waiting for the next biggest thing, you'll be waiting forever. Build now if you are sure you want a new rig now. 1080 or 1080TI are still worth buying now that prices are no longer grossly inflated.

 

The 8086K exists as a kind of commemorative product. It is essentially a binned 8700K and certainly not worth the extra price unless you care about that factor. In terms of practical differences in performance, you may be able to OC the 8086K by 100-200Mhz above the average 8700K most of the time. Is that worth the extra $70-80...?

You want it ASAP so the only choice is 10 series cards. 8086k isn't worth.

Unless you want some mad overclocks, just get the regular 8700K.

I think I agree about the 8086K. Do you think the 17070Ti is woth it at almost $100 less than the 1080? I seems like if it's overclocked, its almost as fast.

What's your budget, what do you need the PC for, and what's your monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

Do you need a keyboard/mouse ect?

It can get nearly as fast as a 1080 until you OC the 1080

 

If you don't think you can put up the money for a 1080 or greater, then the 1070TI is a solid choice.

It will mainly be for gamning. I have a 1440p 144Hz G-Sync monitor and aleady have a Corsair K95 RGB Platinum With Cherry MX Browns and G900 mouse.

Then save cash with the 1070ti

 

the 8086K isn't worth it unless you're an extreme overclocker and want every last mhz.

 

Just save the money with the 8700K and get that chip delidded for better temps.
 

Although I think B450 boards are about to come out, and the R5 2600 would still be fine for gaming while being cheaper
