It seems okay to me for the price, but I feel there's still room for improvement here. I'd like to know your thoughts on how to make it better for around the same price.

 

Thanks!

the aorus 580 is $310, PCPP fuckup. the MSI armor is the right price after rebates.

It is?

 

Well, the MSI Armor is fine too. I just hope it's not like the 1080 Ti scenario.

Actually thats pretty darn good! Tip: if you plan on going hard on emulation get the  GTX 1060 instead (Cemu Citra and Yuzu love Nvidia)

Great Tip! Thanks for that. It's actually for a friend. He mainly plays Dota 2 and whichever is popular such as PUBG and Fortnite. There's a chance he'll get to emulation as well since he plays a ton of games. He never built a PC yet, but he was actually looking at a 1060 the last time we talked.
