A Pentium is also good value, doesn't make it the right choice and getting an i7 instead is not necessarily a waste of money.

@brobHave you been reading all of the posts???? Are you even paying attention???? Did I suggest a Pentium????

 

I never said getting an i7 is a waste of money. I'm saying that getting a 2080ti like he mentioned is. There is a diminishing return after you get to a certain class of performance. After a certain point, the more money you spend doesn't get you as far in terms of performance.

 

OP was given a suggestion for 1966.69 USD build that had a 9th gen i7 and a 2080 but OP said:

I take it the sarcasm did not come through. 

 

Perhaps you would be satisfied with a RTX 2080 today and tomorrow. Obviously the OP would not. There is no doubt that a RTX 2080 Ti is going to have a longer useful life. You may feel that is a waste of money, the OP apparently wants the best performance the budget can achieve.

Sorry, you didn't use /s 

 

The performance gap between the 2080 and the 2080ti doesn't seem like its worth the additional 400 dollars. Plus, you can always sell and upgrade when the cards come down in price...
