I am looking to get the best bang for my buck. I want to never have to worry about fps for a very long time to come. I am unsure of what GPU to get. The GTX 1080 sadly the place I am ordering from has no 1080Ti's and then there is RTX 2080 and RTX 2080Ti . Don't care about no games having ray tracing right now but looking for something that the fps will be sky high. Can anyone help me please? New to this whole thing.

Basically all new games such as Far Cry 5 , Battlefield 5 and so on. Looking at getting the 24" MSI OPTIX G24C 1920x1080 1ms, 144hz curved gaming monitor with free sync.

I would go for vega 56 or a vega 64 for that case, perfect for that monitor.

They should do 1080p at 144+ fps, and they have freesync.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

You can't really get "bang for buck" with high end graphics cards, once you can afford top tier it's just buy the best. What are the rest of your system specs?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

My specs will hopefully by an i7 8700k cpu, 240GB WD Green SSD + 2TB HDD Combo, ASUS PRIME Z370-P ATX MOtherboard and 16GB ADATA XPG Z1 3000MHz RAM

Unfortunately gtx1080 wont keep 144fps or higher all the time in AAA games with settings that look good, so it's 2080 (2080ti bad value) or Vega 56 (better value then all of them as it supports Freesync, but also the slowest). You will need to lower settings for Vega 56 to hit 144fps in AAA games, let alone being consistent.

It comes with a Corsair Hydro Series H60 120mm Liquid CPU cooling Sysem w/copper cold plate (All venom OC Certified) (Single Standard 120MM Fan) Plus the case fans and I am getting them to install 3 extra fans.

Hey there! I would recommend TWO crosfire sapphire nitro+ rx 580 8gb GPUs. I have one of them, and in corssfire, would be AMAZING!!!!! 

 

 

Just my opinion... or if you have a smaller case just go with vega..

The company I am looking at handles a lot with Nvidia and I am more comfortable with Nvidia stuff so I am trying to find an Nvidia that will do my computer good.

If you want good value, Coffee Lake is just bad comparing to Ryzen which is cheap enough to get you a faster graphics card. Also dont expect an 8700k like that will overclock well.

I am such a noob when it comes to computers there is so much information all over the internet all saying different things it is so very confusing if you were to build a cheap but amazing computer what would your specs be?

Ryzen 5 2600 + cheap but good cooler (BS I know but there are only a few cheap coolers that are good) + $100 ATX or $80 mATX B450 mobo from MSI + 2x8GB DDR4 3000MHz + Vega 56 or 1070ti, depending on price + 250GB SATA SSD that has DRAM cache (your WD Green doesnt have any and is much slower) + highest GB per $ 7200RPM HDD + a case with good airflow + enough fans to fill in all the fan mounts
