gawd damn at these gpu prices

Built my 4k gaming rig just in time

1080 ti going for as much as 1800

 

[Kaydigi]

About to do a new build mainly for 4K video editing and no gaming. Previous rig was maxed with FX 8350 would over heat if I tried to pushed it to hard.

What are these developers doing that force people to update their specs every 15 minutes? Do they even try to push the envelope on existing hardware?

You don't have to update every time a new CPU or GPU comes out, only the top enthusiasts with money to blow do that

yep, shyt's crazy. best thing is to sign up for the 'notify me' option directly from EVGA, or another GPU manufacturer, because at least they're not gouging prices

I wish they could make something specifically for these cryptocurrency dorks, cause I'm tired of them fukking up the PC gaming market

They do, nobody wants them because they offer reduced features and something like a 90 day warranty as opposed to the usual one to three years for no real discount.

Spending budget?

I would recommand ryzen 7/i7 8700(k) with a 1080, 32gb minimum of ram

System Builder - Core i7-8700K 3.7GHz 6-Core, Meshify C ATX Mid Tower - PCPartPicker

Here is a build, it's just missing a 1070/1080 (do not buy at current prices) for encoding, and large hard drive
