unfortunately the 1070 is way out of my budget. what about the 1060? reviews say it's not a good card for d12

The 480 has the edge in DX12 titles, but they are so close in terms of performance that you might as well just grab whatever is cheaper. Newegg had 6GB models of the 1060 for $200 this past week.

The Vive is $100 off on Black Friday and Cyber Monday ($700 total). It's officially the cheapest VR headset for PC (when you consider the $600 Rift and its $200 controllers)

Sold my Vive recently for cash and a 1080. Going to wait around for the next generation which should be cheaper and more cost effective. I'm also sort of curious to see what M$ is going to do with these rumored $300 headsets coming soon.

Go with the ultra wide or 1440P. Nothing less. We are slowly moving away from 1080P as the standard.

Yeah I copped a 27 4K ips led lg monitor from bb. Paid 180 after the sale plus using visa checkout for 25 more off. Had 100 in bb gc too. Best thing I selected open box which was 292 vs the new price of 329, when I went to pickup the guy just said grab a new one he didn't feel like walking back to the back warehouse area to get it.

The 1060 is actually cheaper in most cases.

can of air is easiest. they're kinda annoying though cause they freeze up and shyt

a better solution is to get one of those electric computer blowers:

don't use a regular vacuum because there's a high risk of ESD
