(Part 2) Best computer graphic cards according to redditors
We found 16,242 Reddit comments discussing the best computer graphic cards. We ranked the 2,351 resulting products by number of redditors who mentioned them. Here are the products ranked 21-40. You can also go back to the previous section.
Agreed. As long as the parts are compatible, which we can help with, assembling a pc is the way to go. This budget is difficult, though. Ideally you’d budget $250 (210€?)just for the graphics card. You really want a GTX1060. The graphics card is everything in a gaming computer. You won’t have much budget left; that means bare minimums on everything else.
This build is an excellent place to start:
PCGamer.com cheapest gaming computer build
Intel Pentium G4560
GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
ASRock B250M Pro4
Crucial 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4-2133
Crucial MX300 275GB
EVGA 450W 80+ Bronze PSU
Don’t forget a copy of Windows 10, a decent mouse, keyboard, monitor, and headphones or speakers.
Also I’ll suggest you reuse an old 7200rpm SATA hard drive (250gb+)if you have one in an old PC. This isn’t ideal, but it will help control costs and while it will make the game load slower than the Crucial MX300 listed above, it wont really affect gameplay.

R9 280 currently £130... So it's a pretty sweet deal ATM.
Just my opinion, I am no expert, but these seem like the best choices as they are popular, and consideration how much work it would take to design them.
Also check the most popular on Amazon, Newegg and PC part picker.
CPUs from one socket look almost the same right?
So a LGA 1151 and AM3+ CPUs.
For RAM, classic PCB with black chips, maybe another one with a very simple heatspreader in different colors, as it would take quite a lot of work to create realistic heatspreaders for little benefit IMO.
Any HDD, they all look similar.
For SSDs, Samsung are the most popular and very simple to do.
Three most popular CPU coolers prolly are CRYORIG H7, Hyper 212 EVO, and Corsair H100i, maybe with addition of a single fan AIO like Corsair H55.
GPUs are tougher:
Motherboards and cases: the hardest parts to pick, almost every one part is completely different from the other.
Just go by the most popular.
Anything I forgot?
Amazon Rep said they will have 1070's in stock in 3-5 days.
EDIT: This was for the Zotac 1070 Mini
However Amazon has had alot of 1070's show availability for June 25th so I expect all cards to have stock on that date. Hopefully not with the ridiculous prices.
Here are the other EVGA ones:
Link seems to be broken for me, I got to it here: https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-11276-02-40G-Radeon-Pulse-Graphics/dp/B07BGZNTQJ
you could actually fit a pretty high-power gpu in, as Gigabyte makes a mini-itx version of the gtx 970:
http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-Graphics-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0/ref=sr_1_9?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1419051574&sr=1-9&keywords=gtx+970
Sapphire 11276-02-40G Radeon Pulse RX Vega 56 8GB HBM2 Dual HDMI/DP (UEFI) PCI-E Graphics Card https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BGZNTQJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WUTXCbH0A9PRQ
This is the link the the item, im not seeing any promo on the page. Is this a newegg only thing? I thought that the promo is for all AMD products for its anniversary? So would I call AMD?
Truth is none of these have binned chips, therefore, as far as performance goes, it will all come down to sillicon lottery.
If you plan on overclocking manually, which I usually recommend you do, performance will not vary from one model to another.
However where it varies is in the noise and cooling department.
The gtx1060, being a rather efficient card to begin with, I would probably look at the cheapest solution to feature a decent dual fans cooler, such as the Windforce OC, or the zotac amp
I really do not believe spending the extra money to go for the brands you mentionned would be worth it.
If your case and PSU will support it: Vega 56 will blow most things out of the water at that price point.
It'll be more than enough for that. Might as well snag it.
The other option is that rx580 just posted here as well, useful if you have a freesync monitor (assuming you don't have gsync).
https://www.amazon.ca/MSI-RX-580-8G-OC/dp/B06XZQMMHJ/
Both perform similarly.
Save you a click - $300 @ Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-11276-02-40G-Radeon-Pulse-Graphics/dp/B07BGZNTQJ
I'd pay $20 more for the Sapphire version on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BGZNTQJ/
It looks better and Sapphire is the gold standard for Radeon hardware.
Lots of GTX 1080's for sale online for $500-550 right now. Don't know where your looking.

Yep, this card has a smaller TDP than a gtx 970, which also has a single fan version
The 1060 is almost always sub $250. Here's a 6GB model for $230.
Forgot to put that it's a Prime Exclusive in the title

Amazon likes to push lower prices off the main page if the "in-stock" date gets pushed back far enough.
Sorry for the poor one handed shaky recording lol. Heres links to what I used, if anyone wants the same setup or is just interested in running retro 3d and modern games ect. Will work with first gen sf and mk cabs.
Mod kit with all the parts needed.

Video I used for tutorial
https://youtu.be/fJ1CNyCF5gY
With this pc you dont need the power button in the video if you use big box as your front end or have it boot into steam or big box at start up. You can just select turn off system with the joystick and buttons.
Their might be cheaper ways. But this is what I used for the basics. I also attached a sound bar I had laying around and cup holders from amazon. I can link those as well if anyone's interested.
Lastly mk11 is running on steam. I use this site to get steam games for a fraction of the regular price.

Vega 56
That [exact Zotac gpu] (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01LLAJ8PU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_f3yeAb5KGHMMS) is cheaper on amazon. Out of stock but you can still order it and wait a bit.
yea but if i spend 100 on a gpu it wouldn't fit the case. So i would have to get a new micro atx case that probably would be awkwardly sitting next to my very tiny entertainment system. and then i would have to get a new psu because of the power draw of the 1050.
40 for new psu
30 for new case
extra 40 for gtx 1050: https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Geforce-GDDR5-Graphic-GV-N1050OC-2GD/dp/B01MG0733A/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1504241206&sr=1-1&keywords=gtx+1050

After months of hodling and researching, I just pulled the trigger on this. Camelx3 shows this is the lowest ever for this listing. I saw a lot of deals on RX580 8 GBs lately but I only wanted to go Sapphire. They're arguably the best when it comes to AMD cards. I just didn't have the money for a Nitro+ :/
EDIT: Forgot to mention, I also purchased this via GreatCanadianRebates so might get a bit of cash back too (1.75%)
EDIT 2: https://www.amazon.ca/s/browse?node=17440060011
EDIT 3: Expired 26/11 at 0000 hours
Just a few minutes passed since you posted this comment and GTX780 price has already dropped by a hundred bucks . Cheap 4K monitor is a bit over $300. They will be cheaper than my lunch by the next week :)
According to this list you could run a 4K display on GTX 650 and that one costs just $100.
So yea, 4K gaming isn't even that expensive.
For 500 dollars, you could easily get 300% better performance.
Interesting question, and one I don't have an answer for. Traditionally Nvidia has been the better choice, but AMD outperforms on OpenGL these days I think.
Honestly though, unless you're talking about future proofing in some small way, either should get the job done. I have a GTX 970 Mini OC and it screams for emulation. I mean, I'm talking 4k internal resolution on PCSX2 at full speed with FXAA and scanlines.
So unless we're talking future proofing for eventual PS3/XB360 emulators or something of that nature, I can't see an issue with either one of those cards.
Testing Games has compared both these cards in 8 titles and here are the results
Game|RTX 2060 Avg. FPS|GTX 1660 Ti Average FPS|% FPS increase over 1660 Ti
:----|:----|:----|:----
Battlefield 5 | 112 | 98 | 14%
Metro Exodus | 52 | 43 | 21%
AC Odessey | 62 | 52 | 19%
Forza Horizon 4 | 102 | 98 | 4%
Far Cry New Dawn | 104 | 91 | 14%
Shadow of the Tomb Raider | 89 | 78 | 13%
GTA V | 104 | 92 | 13%
The Witcher 3 | 108 | 87 | 24%
For a 25% increase in price over the GTX 1660 Ti, RTX 2060 offers only about 15% more performance in AAA titles at 1080p/ultra-preset.
So, from a price to performance perspective, a 1660 Ti is a much better deal for gaming. Vega 56 is another excellent option if you can find it for $30-$40 more on the 1660 Ti (in fact, Amazon has a deal going on right now. Check it here).
Sapphire has one out and XFX have one coming out soon, not sure when it hits retail.
$340 new on amazon
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GJEE9BG/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Dude, this one is only $380 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GX5YWAO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_GIZmybK5H9WXP
You can find just as good on Amazon Warehouse on certain days for certain cards. I found a good deal on a 1080 months ago on an MSI card that I wanted. They get some shipments that are damaged and put it "used - very good" . I much prefer them to open box, all the warehouse items I got I either can't tell they're damaged or small marks.
Here's an EVGA card for $334 not including tax: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01GX5YWAO/ref=sr_1_1_olp?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1487805828&sr=1-1&keywords=1070
$515 1080 : https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01GXOWUDQ/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KQUDE2Y/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=
I would say this is a better deal since its priced the same, you will get free shipping and its a full size/dual fan card
I'm glad I bought my 1080ti when I did. How much are you willing to spend?
I built a small system for my girl friend's kids and used a GTX 1050 which actually runs the game on medium settings fine with the expected frame drop in congested areas. These are still relatively affordable despite bitcoin miners.
You can get a 1050ti for around $250, but I see a 1060 on Amazon for $259.
https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Windforce-Graphics-GV-N1060WF2OC-3GD/dp/B01KQUDE2Y/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1521518113&sr=1-5&keywords=gtx+1060
I would stick with Nvidia regardless though.
You jest, but a few OEMs made mini 970s over it's lifetime though. I'd be surprised if we didn't also get mini 1070s by the fall.
Buy a reference card and put an Arctic Accelero Mono on it.
The reference card, with cooler, is only around 24cm, and the PCB is way smaller than that, so an aftermarket cooler on it should work fine.
EDIT: looking at your tiny case, though, I don't know if it'll take the thickness of that. If no one releases a short one, watercooling is one option. The other is to sacrifice a tiny bit of performance (though it'd be a HUGE upgrade from integrated) and get a GTX 970 mini. Amazon has it for $275 after rebate: https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-GDDR5-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0
Just watch /r/buildapcsales. Got me an EVGA 1080 SC for $499 about a month ago. Wondering if I should've waited for 1080ti deal instead but I'll be happy with what I got. It's $569 now at least.
Please don't link mobile links.

Edit: Also, that price has to be bogus, there is no way anyone pays that.
so you want £372.88 after fees for a posted, blower style, used 1070 even though you can buy a brand new Zotac dual fan model on Amazon for £389.99, £17.11 more?

Are you located in the US? Sapphire has an RX Vega 56 Pulse for $319.99 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BGZNTQJ/
This also comes with The Division 2 Gold Edition and World War Z.
You can also look at XFX's RX Vega 56, similar for $299 from Best Buy, only today: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/xfx-amd-radeon-rx-vega-56-8gb-hbm2-pci-express-3-0-graphics-card/6183041.p?skuId=6183041
If you do go the Vega 56 route, get this Sapphire one instead. PCPartPicker seems to a bit broken with it atm and not listing it.
For that budget, Vega 56 definitely. RX 580's can be fit into a 600 dollar budget, and the 590 isn't a great buy.
If you live in the US, I'd recommend either of these two:

Whatever you do, don't get the gigabyte version, because it's absolute garbage.
Not to be confused with Gtx Titan graphics cards. Just a PSA for those not in the know.
Gtx titans are not for gaming, they do deliver exceptional gaming performance but it's a marginal performance increase from the top cards in Nvidia's 700 series.
A gtx titan retails around 1000 USD and typically benchmarks <10% (in games) above the gtx 780 sc which retails around 500 USD.
I've done a lot of research into this price range over the last few days, and I just bought an R9 280X for the equivalent of 230€ in the UK.
People will say R9 290 without realising the price. The cheapest I could find for you is this Sapphire R9 290, at 285€.
The prices and quality of the other graphics card around 250€ is not great in EU. I'd say the next best value for money is the Sapphire R 280 for 190€.
I remember buying 16Gb of corsair vengeance DDR4 3000MHz CL15 for AU$85 a year ago. Prices are so fucked at the moment.
As others have said though, you can get some better deals through Newegg and Amazon. I bought my motherboard and SSD from Newegg and saved about $200 (mainly on the mobo) compared to buying in Aus from PCCG etc.
I bought my RAM from Amazon in mid 2016 (when prices weren't crazy) but I'd say they will still be a bit cheaper than an Aussie vendor
EDIT:
Although OOS at the moment, this is sold by EVGA through Amazon and works out to be around AU$730

You can get a new Sapphire r9 280 from Amazon for only £139.98 http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IRTXPBM?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=pric097-21&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=1634&amp;creativeASIN=B00IRTXPBM and a used (like new) one from £125 if you're not confident about the club3d one.
I've had really great experiences with Amazon Warehouse Used- Like New products, also I believe they have a 1-month no questions asked return/warranty program.

I included this one even though it's not EVGA or Asus because it's new and very competitively priced when taking into account the recent rise in GPU prices. IMO taking a few hours to paint over the yellow plastic to save $100-200 is a worthy investment. Hope this helps

> First time selling, hope i get it right.
Assuming this is the model you're trying to sell,(Edit: it's not, it's this one, my bad) you might want to try asking for a lower price than$20$35 over what a new one's been running recently.If you're wanting to sell it quickly, several other new 1080s have been going for $540-$550 recently, so setting your price in that neighborhood or even a touch lower might be something worth considering.
(Edits in italics, thanks to /u/vladniko for setting me straight, was in a bit of a rush earlier, sorry!)
I don't get it. What makes that better than this?
Hey guys! I know this just looks like a generic RGB battlestation. I recently just bought a house for myself, and was finally able to set up my own gaming room, and I wanted to show it off .I plan to eventually set up my VR stuff in this room somewhere. I know the photo quality sucks, but I don't own a camera, and my iPhone camera sucks.

I just purchased a great GTX 1070 card on Amazon for ~$400. Keep an eye out for sales.
https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-GeForce-STRIX-Graphic-STRIX-GTX1070-O8G-GAMING/dp/B01HDUVJ1I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1498883178&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=asus+rog+gtx+1070
Here's the proof: http://imgur.com/a/YfL8G
According to CamelCamelCamel, this is the lowest price this video card has been so far.
Can't see what you want, I'm assuming gtx 1060 vs rx 480?
edit: ahh ok, I would recommend getting this as it is cheaper, and generally runs at higher settings than the gtx 1060.
How does it compare to this MSI GAMING Radeon RX 480 GDDR5 8GB CrossFire VR Ready FinFET DirectX 12 Graphics Card (RX 480 GAMING X 8G) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K1JTT8S/ref=cm_sw_r_fm_apa_AQEQyb16YH4H) card?
This is almost half the price: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-04G-P4-6251-KR/dp/B01MEFABEL
And you can get a 1060 for about 280 USD: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01KQUDE2Y
Hey I have a 4 GTX 1080s. Im unforutanetly not in the market for another one though, but I definitely want these sold.
This was in my posting from a couple of days ago:
2 x EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 (looks brand new, looks to have no signs of use) - $565 shipped each (don't be silly)
1 x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition (minor scratching on shroud) - $525 shipped
1 X Gigabyte GeForce GTX GV-N1080G1 GAMING-8GD (like new) - $550 shipped
I'd get a different mouse. Also, that price seems high for a gtx 1070. I'd spend a few dollars more and get a 1080 if you're looking at spending that on a 1070
($509, blower) https://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=AS-T10808G&amp;c=CJ
($523, better cooler) https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-GTX-1080-Gaming/dp/B01GJEE9BG/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1505602328&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=gtx+1080
I just checked jet.com for you. I'd get a video card there and use the code SAVE15 to get 15% off. Found a GTX1080 for like $500.
Sorry for the amazon.com link, but I couldn't read amazon.de
EVGA has GREAT customer support, so I'd suggest this from them.
Hey, thank you! I really appreciate that :) Green is my favorite color, and this was the most tasteful case I could find that was full tower. I don't like a whole lot of bells and whistles on the outer frame, and I seemed to like the contours of this case. The edges were a tad sharp, but very gracefully bezeled where they needed to be. NZXT has some pretty amazing case layouts, as well as amazing grommet points for cable management. After I get settled into my new place, I'm going to redo the cable management, as well as the CPU heatsink fitting (gonna rotate it so that stupid wire isn't all cattywampused over the top of the fan lol).
I'm still undecided about a Polaris or a Pascal card. Granted, I've been a die hard AMD fan since I switched from Nvidia, which was way back when I first bought an HD 4890 (which is still a bitchin' card still by the way, especially for people who don't play much high end). However, that being said, and for budget vs performance, I am more inclined to grab an EVGA GTX 1070 SC.
I just saw an evga superclocked 1070 available with prime shipping for 440 something...i see what you mean about the prices. They went up significantly from a couple months ago when I got mine. Here is the link https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GX5YWAO/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1501132788&amp;sr=8-8&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;keywords=gtx+1070&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=51GxewqjOoL&amp;ref=plSrch

There is a 1070 for 370. All black so it won't clash or you could get a gigabyte with a tiny bit of red for 400.

So currently I'm looking at an ASUS 1070 that's $430 after the rebate + $56 for Destiny 2. All that comes to $486
The Nvidia 1080 + D2 from the offer that OP posted is $550.
Essentially I'm spending $66 extra for a 1080 + D2. Is this a deal worth doing? Is the $66 worth it for the 1080 vs the 1070?
Yea probably not that significantly. Right now, that card is $439.99 on Newegg/Amazon, plus an offer for $20 MIR. $419 is pretty good.
Here's some reference to the card's historic pricing from CamelCamelCamel: http://camelcamelcamel.com/ASUS-GeForce-STRIX-Graphic-STRIX-GTX1070-O8G-GAMING/product/B01HDUVJ1I

Yes definitely , also to give you a heads up you will probably need a new motherboard as well. When you decide to purchase the CPU, as your CPU is a LGA 1150 socket while you're looking to upgrade to a 1151 socket which requires a new motherboard, as well as DDR4 ram instead of DDR3.
Good luck with the purchase, and have a look at my thread to help you maximize your FPS once you get your new GPU.
https://www.reddit.com/r/blackdesertonline/comments/5padhe/ultimate_guide_for_fpsperformanceping_issues/?utm_content=title&amp;utm_medium=user&amp;utm_source=reddit
I recommend this motherboard for the long run as well.

For the graphics card i recommend this as the temp's will be rather low with this card compared to other similar models , this also isn't colossus sized compared to other GPU's.

I removed the HDD cage (you have to drill out the rivets) because the HDD cage is massive, and takes up a lot of space. With the HDD cage removed I have the HDD mounted vertically with the drive screws along the left side. I have my SSD double stick taped to the HDD.
Also with the HDD cage removed, I was able to add a 120mm fan to the front of the case, which greatly improves cooling for this tiny case. (Also have to remove the front plastic panel, you can put foam spacers to grant airflow while retaining this, but I just keep it off)
I just went to a three day LAN, so the room was hot, and the CPU hit a max of 45C and the GPU 60C. At home it idles around 25C and 30C or so.

Did a quick newegg search. If you can get these cards for a decent amount cheaper from someone on hws, then I would buy.
Also, if you are willing to pay ~$200, you could look into a gtx 1060
https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Windforce-Graphics-GV-N1060WF2OC-3GD/dp/B01KQUDE2Y/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1496965305&amp;sr=1-4&amp;keywords=gtx+1060
Or a gtx 970 like azn_dude1 mentioned.
Also the 1050 is an ok card, but the 1060 is a much much faster and more future-resistant card compared to the 1050 and it doesn't cost that much more.
Amazon lists one for $145:
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeForce-GTX-1060-3G/dp/B07Q5C1W4X/
And another for $210:
https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Windforce-GDDR5-Graphics/dp/B01KQUDE2Y/
Sorry to go the wrong way on this lol...you just mentioned you want it to last a long time...suppose if you're never running anything other than age of empires you're probably fine with the 1050.
Don’t forget you are paying $50 a year just to play multiplayer. Here is the link to the graphics card at ~$250. I’d recommended getting the 6gb for a few dollars more though.

For $2,000, you can score a pretty excellent VR dev rig.
If you're already using UE4, and you've got got your DK1, you're probably relatively familiar with the basic demands— The faster your CPU, the faster everything compiles, and more ability you have to get things done simultaneously outside your IDE. RAM is a similar story, as well letting you play with more polys and textures in whatever modeling program you use. For the GPU, various Oculus people have dropped the hint that you pretty much want a GTX 770 as a baseline for advanced apps [source]. That's consistent with what benchmarks have had to say about what it'll take to drive the (probably) 1440p CV1.
With regards to the OS, there are very few reasons to use Windows 7. You can read some reddit discussions about that here or here, but the moral of the story is that everything works better on 8 except maybe the layout, which you can change.
$2,000 is a good spot— it's pretty much where the bang-for-buck curve becomes a cliff. Here's about how that build looks:

This leaves you with wiggle-room, to make a couple decisions based on your uses and preferences. You could bump one of the monitors up to 27" 1440p, you could bump the very capable GTX 780 up to a 780 Ti, you could move up to 32GB of RAM, increase the size of the SSD, or just pocket the change. It really depends on what apps you're trying to produce, and what your workflow looks like— if it were me, I'd lean towards the 1440p screen, just for workflow reasons.
If you have any questions (or anything to teach me), let me know!
But its also a year an a half old. You can literally get a brand new one with a warranty for that $400
Get a cheaper PSU (this), and the r9 280 here.
Also, are you reusing RAM? If not, don't buy any RAM over £60.
Yap. A few different options exist. For example:

They Make miniITX 970s
I am not sure, but the Gigabyte 970 mini-ITX is already available.

I hate you.
I doubt the Ti would ever be $1000 - I think Nvidia will just drop the MSRP on the 1080 to $550 and make the Ti MSRP $650, FE $750. There are already factory overclocked 1080 models selling for $580.

But I do agree, 1080Ti definitely coming out and the price will somewhat be related to what Vega is capable of.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GCAVRSU/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&amp;me=ATVPDKIKX0DER :(
612EUR with import duty to BE. Here's the direct link without referral: GTX 1080
As a realistic minded person, although I am a fan of AMD, if the midstream is not your market, nVidia is still the way to go as of today. Wait another 6 months and Vega may end up causing a stir in the high end as well. At that point, I would be hard pressed to recommend nVidia. Generally, they are overpriced, and if AMD continues with it's push toward affordability and performance per dollar, then perhaps Vega will still be a great buy for the money, even if priced at $400 compared to a $800 (currently) GTX1080.
The fact that DX12 favors AMD, that AMD has stronger compute, and that the majority of all video game developers will be coding with AMD hardware in mind (all 3 consoles for multiple generations), then AMD is looking more and more like a solid buy for the first time in a long time, even at the high end, but again, for this very moment, either the 1070 or the 1080 are the way to go if you don't care about the $$$.

MSI RX 580 $209.99
1 would be perfectly fine, but 2 of them would be fantastic for what you spend on the titles which you can force crossfire to behave. (Most, but not all.) I trust MSI, personally, and their coolers tend to be solid. (I wouldn't buy EVGA, Sapphire, or recommend any "reference" board at all, ever.)

I would honestly just pay the 50 bucks more for a 580. You know if your getting a 570 your gonna have it for years.
The issue you'll instantly find is the GPU is rather under powered. So USD300 is pretty steep. You'd need at least a RX580 to get decent 1080p gaming. That adds another USD200 to your cost. Where are you located and why is this the only PC you can get right now?
Yes. The ASUS was going for $200. Changed this morning to $219. Gigabyte is $210.
Check Newegg or Amazon. They’ve been posting them at this range for the last 2 weeks.

Sorry I've just noticed that your links arent American but instead Australian. I was working those suggestions based on USD > GDP conversion, so my advice doesnt really stand as much as you're exchange rate isnt so applicable. Though I do 100% stand by spending a little extra on your gpu, it will see you well for much much longer rather than you having to upgrade that relatively soon and theoretically blowing the cash you spent on it in the first place.
Hope this helps man
Edit : if you can afford the extra 140 dollars I'd really consider picking up this

1030 would fit the bill. I have one for my server and a more powerful card for a guest.
This is a Pentium 4 running @ 2.8 GHz, which is a single core CPU on the lga 775 socket. You could get a core 2 quad q6600, they are usually anywhere from $8-$15, which is a quad core cpu on the lga 775 socket @ 2.4 GHz, and with the 4 cores vs 1, it will signinficantly increase performance. Another upgrade of course would be more RAM, most likely with the older platform it will be DDR2 memory, possibly even DDR. A cheap graphics card as well, will really give you some better peformance as it appears this computer doesn't even have one. I recommend a GT 1030 which is a great little card for only $70, and will be perfect for streaming video, and will even play some games as well. Lastly, reformat and get a fresh install of windows on there after the upgrades, as since your little brother has been using it (I'm assuming he's a pretty young kid) there will probably be a ton of malware on there from general internet use, which will always effect your performance.
This pc itself is pretty low end and old. the Core 2 Duo line up was current up through 2008. Most video cards over 70 dollars will be a lost value as this thing's cpu will bottlekneck them. The power supply in this unit is sure to not be more than 300W and you will only be able to put low profile video cards in the case.
&#x200B;
With that said, you would be looking at low profile video cards that don't require external power. Something like the 1030 if you are looking to buy new only. https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GV-N1030D5-2GL-Computer-Graphics/dp/B071DY2VJR/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1543003463&sr=8-5&keywords=750+ti+low+profile
This would be godly compared to a 550
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071DY2VJR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_CE5Hzb5DD2W4Q
I would say use the GeForce GT 1030 2gb, because I just recently got it, and it plays games very very good. Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GV-N1030D5-2GL-Computer-Graphics/dp/B071DY2VJR/ref=pd_ybh_a_86?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=N57ANQEY27PFN5YMFABS
Amazing deal!
You can also get the sapphire vega 56 from Amazon for $299. It also includes the 2 free games
Sapphire 11276-02-40G Radeon Pulse RX Vega 56 8GB HBM2 Dual HDMI/DP (UEFI) PCI-E Graphics Card https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BGZNTQJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zGv2CbSJZ5RRJ
vega 56 for 300. if the power consumption scares you, i'll do a 1660ti or rtx 2060 for 350.
https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-11276-02-40G-Radeon-Pulse-Graphics/dp/B07BGZNTQJ/
Just get a vega 56. You can get double fan sapphire card for $15 more and get more performance out of it. Link
I'm in pretty much same boat you are except with a 1070FE, have my eye on that vega 56 on amazon for $319, though i'm still debating if the performance increase is even worth it, kinda stuck
You would see much faster multicore performance for a very similar price by getting the Ryzen 2600X.
You can do much better on the ram.
You're spending way too much on the PSU.
Already have storage? If you forgot to include it, the Intel 660p would be a really good option. If you need bulk storage, do a hard drive as well.
If you want to spend ~$40 more on the graphics card, you can get the Vega 56 (as there's a good deal on it right now) which is 33% faster (Edit: Alternative cheap vega 56)
Out of the options you have given, the Sapphire RX Vega 56 Pulse is your best option.
And as u/Ovlovian has pointed out (Happy Cake Day!), the Vega 56 Pulse is only $320 right now on Amazon.
Also, I don't know how big your budget is, but the best air-cooled Vega 64, the Sapphire Nitro+, is $420 on Newegg right now.

Hopefully most people are getting the Sapphire Pulse Vega 56 for $299.99 from Amazon. I have that AND this Nitro+ Vega 64 in my house. Both are great cards.
$20 more but it's new......

This particular one was $299.99 for a while. It's been $309 for about a week now.
Best I've found that's in stock.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BGZNTQJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Right around $370 is the RX 5700. Should handle 1440p gaming with high frames for current titles and short-term future titles. Might have to settle on some medium graphics settings here and there. Don't think you can get 144fps for all of those titles within a $400 price range.

If you can handle just over $400 either the RX 5700xt or RTX 2060 would give you better performance and help "future-proof" your build with a bit more certainty.

And all the vII I could find where either mad overpriced or used because the card is EoL
Yes there is. Although the price on this specific link is $40 over its normal price. It generally goes for $410... but it’s in VERY high demand right now. Here is the link.
Also, here is the red devil. Also out of stock...
The 5700XT XFX Thicc is also another option. Although, I haven’t seen it for sale yet.
It's up on Amazon right now, says "not in stock" but you can order it.
That's the one I ordered (not from Amazon because I don't live in the US):

Sapphire Pulse 5700xt is on amazonnm, out of stock.
Just place an order now, might get it sooner than later. Worst case you find it elsewhere and cancel. https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-Triple-Backplate-Graphics/dp/B07WC7683C/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?keywords=5700+xt&amp;qid=1566261723&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=5700&amp;sr=8-6
Thanks, I suspected there was a lot of demand but not to this point. I found the card I want in amazon but the price is too high. I'm using the honey extension as recommended by linus tech tips to get a notification when the price drops, I hope it works as advertised.

Yes.
Be sure to NOT get a 'oem' blower style cooler. Either of the ones below would be ideal.

For $50 more you could get the [GTX 780] (http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-GTX780-SuperClocked-03G-P4-2784-KR/dp/B00CUIVSNS/).
Well, you can either wait for the 800 series, or pick up a GTX 780 right now. The ACX Superclocked version right now is $479.... http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-GTX780-SuperClocked-03G-P4-2784-KR/dp/B00CUIVSNS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1408291408&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=gtx+780
I've got two of them, and they absolutely chew through any game I play at 1440p.

I guess it's $100 more
I have these 780s which are non-reference. I'll have to wait till Tuesday before the thermal paste comes in. I'll reapply the paste on one of my GPUs and put the stock heatsink on one of them, and if it works, then I'm just gonna assume that my cards don't like the G10.
The one i already had - EVGA GTX 780 SC. Although it wouldn't have mattered since they said it was either coupon or PM, but not both.
Yeah, the bulk of the money is going for that fast 8 core CPU. You said that you wanted to use this for gaming, that's the reason for a FAST CPU. Most games out there today are still single thread so if you don't have a fast CPU it would affect game play. You could easily buy a slower 8 core CPU for your number crunching tasks and save a ton of money. You need to be concerned about the number of cores a CPU has and not necessarily the speed of the CPU. I think that after the new consoles launch, this aspect of game play will change anyway. Both the Xbox One and the PS4 will have 8 core processors so it only seems logical that most games from here on out will be multi-threaded.
Here is an 8 core CPU for $1,140 that would work great for your application:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117266
You could also downsize the GPU to a GTX 780. The GTX 780 is just a cut down Titan. You would see a performance hit and it would be determined by exactly how your software uses hardware acceleration. The GTX 780 has 2,304 CUDA cores and 3GB of VRAM, the Titan has 2,688 CUDA cores and 6GB of VRAM. If your software is using CUDA cores the performance hit wouldn't be too bad but if it was using VRAM it would be by half. (It wouldn't be half as fast it would just be significantly slower because you have half as much VRAM.) I would strongly suggest that you not buy a GPU below the GTX 780. The GTX 770s, 660Tis and 660s have different architecture that will not perform nearly as well.
Here is a GTX 780 for $660 that would work great for your application: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CUIVSNS/?tag=pcpapi-20
Making those changes would still leave you with a very fast computer but will save you $1070 to bring your costs down to $3811. Hey, that's under your budget!
If you decide to move forward with this build I would suggest going to the Supermicro website and downloading the motherboard manual. Read all about what happens when you run one CPU on this motherboard. (Some of the PCI-E slots are turned off.) Make sure that all the components you buy are compatible with this motherboard. I'm pretty sure they are, but it is for you to double check me. This is a very common workstation motherboard that is used in many applications from CAD, Video Editing and Number Crunching applications. Here's the link: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X9DAE.cfm
You can absolutely get a better deal on compatible RAM than buying it from Newegg, look around. Just make sure you use ECC Registered RAM.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
And hey, thanks for the gold!
I've decided to keep gaming and computing separate. I know, I know, but I really like the couch for gaming and I really like portrait mode for development; and never the twain shall meet based on my laziness (as you said, pita to reconfigure). I'm currently PS3, f-it just get a PS4 - don't judge me :)
So, if I drop the gaming out then I really can just fall back on the [GeForce GTX 650]
(http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-1024MB-Graphics-01G-P4-2650-KR/dp/B00966IU4M/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1380592302&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=gtx+650)?
So, I read the section in either r/buildapc or in r/buildmeapc that basically said to pick your graphics and work backwards from there.
What would be in the difference in my system requirements between the [650]
(http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-1024MB-Graphics-01G-P4-2650-KR/dp/B00966IU4M/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1380592302&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=gtx+650) and 780?
I'm asking because if the difference is minimal (less than $300ish) I would just build a system that would support the 780 (just in case), but just run 650 for now.
It looks both cards are PCI Express 3.0. I can only decipher a few bits and pieces of the rest of the naming convention of the cards. I'm thinking the 650 has 1GB of RAM at 128-bit (per second? is this the card's bus speed?) while the 780 has 3GB of RAM at 384-bit. I really need to read up on all these specs to figure out what they are all talking about, but it seems a tad difficult since I can't tell which parts are proprietary and which parts are standards (SLI?).
Would it be somewhat accurate to assume I need a motherboard that has 2 things to be compatible with either card: 1. the slot - both are PCI Express 3.0
2. Bus speed? Can't tell what this is for each or whether PCI Express 3.0 implicitly suggests the same speed (connection?) between them.
I am one card choice away from heading over to r/buildmeapc. :)
tldr; Would the difference in my system requirements to run the [650]
(http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-1024MB-Graphics-01G-P4-2650-KR/dp/B00966IU4M/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1380592302&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=gtx+650) card or the 780 card be under $300? (obviously excluding the price of the card)
Hi, sorry to be late to the thread, but I just recently made this upgrade.
I have this monitor
and this card
and so far, it thrashes games at 1440p. The only game I've had issues with so far has been Watch_Dogs, but that game barely works on any setup. I absolutely recommend it.
It is $80 over budget but I definitely suggest going with more than a 770 if you are trying to drive 3 monitors at nice settings. Also, you would have to be comfortable buying used from the warehouse.Sold out
I bought the overclocked version http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CUIVSNS/ref=oh_details_o02_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
My Mobo also did some overclocking on top of that from the bois. My cards now 10% faster than a Titan.
EVGA 770
Which of these gtx 770 cards is the best?
Asus - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D3F7CFK/?tag=pcpapi-20
EVGA - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CZIQXBA/?tag=pcpapi-20
Gigabyte - http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-2GB-WINDFORCE-Graphics-GV-N770OC-2GD/dp/B00D3ES1Q0/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1398796429&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=gtx+770+gigabyte
Just going to ask here to to avoid another wasteful thread being made.
Would this card be good for the game with little-no lag?
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1402530978&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=gtx+770
You could probably jump on a 7970 for less- AMD's made huge markdowns on their high-end radeon cards recently.
If you need to go for nVidia, you could either jump up to the 770 for some more $$$ or get a 760 (which provides roughly the same performance for less dollar).
http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-2GB-WINDFORCE-Graphics-GV-N770OC-2GD/dp/B00CU9GOAE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1376809794&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=gtx+770
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1376809794&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=gtx+770
http://www.amazon.com/GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5-GeForce-256-bit-PCI-Express-OC-selected/dp/B00D3F7CFK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1376809794&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=gtx+770
All for ~$20-25 extra, and a substantial increase in performance.
Though if it's CUDA cores you're after, the 760 has fewer cores than the 670.
You also might as well drop down to the i5 4670k if you're only gaming- the hyperthreading of the 4770k is only really going to make a difference in things like rendering.
Our mutual friend asked me to help you out. Sorry its kinda long but hope it helps.
General Thoughts about building your own computer:
IMO buying computer hardware is all about future proofing. If your not a hardcore enthusiast you want to buy what you are not going to need to upgrade for a long long time. For example my friend JUST upgraded his gtx8800+ to the new 780. His 8800 lasted him like 10 years. However, doing this usually means purchasing the top of the line hardware at the time which ofc is not always possible to do this with your budget. IMO If you are going to spend the money, spend a little more so that you are super happy and wont have any regrets. This is why if your budget doesnt fit a lot of people upgrade piece by piece. usually the video card is the last bit to be upgraded because they are the largest cost white being the quickest to go out of date. For example the same friend who recently upgraded to a 780 upgraded his case, cpu, motherboard, and ram 2 years ago to a decent i52500k & held off upgrading the video card till now. Also it is worth mentioning that the reason he opted for the 780 over anything else is because not only is it (arguably) the best video card it has improvements over the last generation chips. for example the 770 is just a beefier 680. The 780 runs the gk110 chip and also has larger bandwith etcetc (these things have been discussed to death on countless forums and i am just stating my opinion on it). I think that the 780 provides better future proofing and value retention.
Build Recommendations:
Now that my own general mindset has been given here are some recommendations to your build.
Company Opinions
I hate Newegg and have had nothing but crappy experiences with them. I only purchase from them if absolutely necessary and cross my fingers. I almost buy exclusively from Amazon now as i have amazon prime and amazons customer service is unparalleled. I also usually get bad cases of buyer remorse and amazons no quibbles 30 day return with no restocking fee is awesome. + free shipping with prime.
As for choice of mouse and keyboard im a razer fan =P.
Final Remark:
This is probably going to have you go over budget. I would recommend doing a piece by piece upgrade as you get the funds instead of compromising. At the end of the day do what you personally will be happy with and that wont give you regrets. A good friend of mine thinks way different from me about choosing of hardware and that is why i want to give you background on my thinking. If you have any questions feel free =].

You could go with a 770 SC

Looks like they're not doing the rebates anymore though.
Cheaper one here
Get another one and sell the R7 250. What's your budget? The R9 280 is incredibly cheap at the moment: http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAPPHIRE-AMD-Graphics-Card-DDR5/dp/B00IRTXPBM/
Use Anandtech Bench to compare graphics cards: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU14/815
Also, if you're upgrading I would STRONGLY recommend getting a new power supply. The one you've got could break at any time, and break the rest of your components too. Find one that's at least 80+ Bronze certified. This is a good one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ALYP208/. You won't need any more wattage for your build.
PCPartPicker is what everyone uses in this subreddit for formatting their builds: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ - it might be easier than copying it all out!
Nope https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IRTXPBM/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_C9Psub1HHQANQ
I suggest a couple of upgrades.
---
This card will allow you to play most modern games at high to max settings at 1080p for a reasonable cost.
---
This will decrease loading times significantly, and if used as the main storage drive, Windows will boot in seconds.
---
You will need a beefier power supply to handle the upgrades.
---
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo
A new CPU cooler will keep the FX-4100 cool under the added stress of newer games. This will also allow you to consider overclocking the FX-4100 for added performance.
I would suggest changing your 760 to this R9 280:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAPPHIRE-AMD-Graphics-Card-DDR5/dp/B00IRTXPBM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1418573144&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=r9+280
Its actually £15 cheaper and here are some benchmarks
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1038?vs=1332
Its slightly better in almost every game.
There's a deal for a 280 at £135 on amazon right now! So get that! This. http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAPPHIRE-AMD-Graphics-Card-DDR5/dp/B00IRTXPBM/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1418830623&amp;sr=1-2-catcorr&amp;keywords=R9+280x

You don't have to pay import costs when buying from countries that are part of the EU. I don't know if amazon.co.uk still does free shipping to the Netherlands, but amazon.de definitely does. This could be a nice build from Amazon. Windows 8.1. is cheaper on azerty, so just buy it there.

I would buy this and save up a bit more money afterwards for a decent i5
Here is a suggestion of a good build. You could get a 280x if you want, but the 280 will be good enough for now.

Edit: By the way I found a Gigabyte 280 for £139.99 on Amazon if you want to save a tenner.
If you're okay with warehouse deals:
The R9 280 for $127 - you save around $24

Changed the case and the motherboard, check the case out see if you like it!
I would recommend the 280 over the 4gb 270x. The 4GB on the 270x is not worth the extra money in my opinion.
I also personally bought a second hand hd7870 (r9 270x) recently and it works a charm. It could be worth it and could save you some money. 'could'.
It is good to get an ssd (mx100, 850evo are the go to ones). 128-256gb size will suffice, mainly for the OS and programs and regular games.
Also can someone correct me if I'm wrong but there aren't too many games on Ubuntu yet and windows is still the most viable gaming OS? Although with steam machines etc.... ramble ramble any one else know some about it?
The Sapphire R9 280 fits the budget: http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAPPHIRE-AMD-Graphics-Card-DDR5/dp/B00IRTXPBM/
If you're willing to build your own and don't have an operating system, I'd go for the following build (this will involve a bit of effort getting parts)
>http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/CB-CAi3-665HG-Cube-Caiman-Micro-ATX-Desktop_1660041.html#DetailTop
Take the parts out of the case and PSU combo, sell the case and PSU on ebay (you could probably get £10-15 for them as new it appears to be £30+ for the both)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B009RMP14M/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=new
for £30
>http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00IRTXPBM/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=new
for £140
>http://www.ebuyer.com/510413-cooler-master-n-series-n200-usb-3-0-micro-atx-case-nse-200-kkn1
for £30
This means you end up with the following build for around £430 (less whatever you get for the case/psu combo on ebay, so maybe £410-420 total)
>Intel Core i3-4150 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor
>MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
>4gb generic Kingston DDR3-1600 RAM (it's unclear what type this would be unfortunately)
>500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (again, generic)
>SAPPHIRE AMD R9 280 Graphics Card (3GB, DDR5)
>Corsair Builder Series CX 430 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply Unit
>Cooler Master N200 MicroATX Mid Tower Case
>Windows 8.1 64-bit
At a cost of £430
Then less whatever money you get from selling the PSU+Case from the prebuilt,sopossibly £410-£420 in the end. Only issue is you won't be able to use any front facing USB3.0 ports. If you don't need a copy of windows you could get away with something else but I'm not sure what.
This would be much faster than the one you linked - however, I'd get second opinions on it as it first. That said, this is what I'd be doing with that budget and if I needed a copy of windows too.
EDIT: Comparison of parts:
AMD FX 4100 vs the i3-4150 (bear in mind intel tends to be much stronger in single threaded applications so gaming performance may well be higher)
Benchmarks, not entirely accurate in real world applications but gives a rough idea
The r9 280 is in another league to the 6670 in the one you linked - about 4x faster at a guess at least. Here's some benchmarks as an example, they're not entirely accurate but gives you a good idea of the difference
You'd lose out on having the 16gb of ram (although you could upgrade it) and have a smaller HDD but I expect the cx430 is a better power supply than in the one you linked too.
For £350 I have to recommend:

The G3258 + H81 is such good value. Out of the box it'll do well but what makes this amazing is when you overclock it. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=182658.0 . Also the 280 will run every game at 1080p on Ultra settings. Fantastic card for the price.

The extra £100 has gone into getting an i5. This will perform better in intensive CPU tasks but in gaming there will only be a few fps difference. I can't really recommend it over the £350 build because you already have your laptop for work.
All in all I have to recommend the £350 build and saving some money for an SSD
In that case, don't go for the 7850 the prices you're looking at for a new card make it very bad value. You can get the radeon r9 280 for £130 and that will destroy the 7850.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IRTXPBM/
Same Graphics card cheaper.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IRTXPBM/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d2_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&amp;pf_rd_s=center-7&amp;pf_rd_r=1BQAVR2DGTWV20RZ4FTE&amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;pf_rd_p=455345507&amp;pf_rd_i=468294
and unless you plan to Crossfire then you could safely drop the PSU down to a 500w one.
and try building using http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/ will sort all compatibility issues and shoparound for the cheapest price for you.
Scan are selling xfx r9 280s for 150 quid.
And there's this 280 on Amazon going for 140 http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00IRTXPBM/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/277-8774426-9103543?m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=nosim&amp;tag=geizhals07-21
Frankly, unless you have a monitor higher res than 1080p the 280 will be fine, especially for 140-150 quid. My 290 is a bit overkill for my monitor and in hindsight I probably could have gone for a cheaper card.
Oh and the 285 might be worth it if you plan to upgrade your monitor soon to one with Adaptive Sync, but otherwise I wouldn't bother looking at the price difference.
970 mini:
https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-GDDR5-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0
Both the 1060 and the 1070 have multiple half length versions, most notably by Zotac and Gigabyte.
Nice. Maybe drill a handle to the top.
Also you have "mini itx or other" next to the graphics card instead of the motherboard. :)
edit: nevermind i see video cards now come in "mini itx" form factor. Learned something new. :) http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-GDDR5-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0
Without an actual budget it's hard to help. That said almost everything can be brought over.
Side note. compact 970's like http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-Graphics-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0/ref=sr_1_9?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1419572409&amp;sr=1-9&amp;keywords=gtx+970 may fit in the current case
Your PSU should be fine for a 970 if it handles a 670.
I recommend the gtx 970 mini itx because it WILL fit in your alienware.
Gigabyte Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 Mini ITX Overclocked 4GB GDDR5 PCiE Video Card Graphics Cards GV-N970IXOC-4GD https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OQUMGM0/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_v94Iub1SQ52GK
> When i measure the GTS 450 only from the black bottom part,without the other things that connect to the screen and until where the bay starts,it's 28mm
I think you mean 28cm, which is 280mm. So no the Gigabyte 970 would not fit. But Gigabyte, along with a couple others, make a mini-970 that would definitely fit in this case
http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-Graphics-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0
There are short high-end cards out there like this GTX 970. I don't know what options AMD has. It would be cool if PCPartPicker had a length filter for video cards since they already show that data.
Here are two examples:
GTX 970
GTX-650
The power requirement for the 670 is 400w of system power, very efficient card. But any Mini ITX card will work.
Here's my parts list
Akitio Thunder 2
NIVIDIA GTX 970 Mini-ITX
Corsair CM450
Cooler Master Elite 130 w/o PSU
PCIe to Molex adapter
90 degree PCIe riser
Here is a post on TechInferno about eGPUs. These guys are super helpful and have loads of tutorials. Still not a project for the faint of heart!
This could be what you're looking for. It's the smallest 970 I believe. There's an Asus one of the exact same length, but it's about $30 more ($354, however there's a Newegg MIR making it $20 less, at $334 total).
edit: I just realised, you stated that your case supports 16.7" GPUs. You should be able to get any GTX 970 and it should fit in your case. The largest 970 is the G1 Gaming from Gigabyte (it's the one that I use, AMA) and that's 312mm long (12.2835").

What about this baby?
Post Fermi* NVIDIA cards. Starting with 6XX series, NVIDIA is really good efficiency wise. In fact, they make short GTX 970s because of how efficient and cool Maxwell is.
Isn't mITX GPU discussion so thrilling!!!
Let's add in some of the performance specs:
Asus Mini: ~$350 USD
1088 / 1228 MHz OC
Single 8-Pin PCIe power
1x DisplayPort, 2x DVI, 1x HDMI
Gigabyte mITX 970: ~$330 USD
Features Dual-link DVI-I / DVI-D / HDMI / DisplayPort*3
BASE: 1076 MHz / BOOST: 1216 MHz

I ordered the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING ACX from Amazon USA for 968AUD delivered. No ETA yet. If the Asus one goes up close to that price locally before it ships I'll cancel. But im not counting my chickens.

You might want to get Z270 as well since you are going 7700K. Usually the 100 series motherboards require a bios update to work with kabylake CPUs

This is what I was looking at or the faster one, but didn't know if much of a difference. I wanted a white theme or accented one, but those around ~$750 dollars. The prices for graphics cards are just insane and want to know what I should be doing. Mainly at the moment, I want to play PUBG at 4k and Wolfenstein 2 when it is out. I'm not in a huge rush to get anything as i'm traveling the next week.

A more balanced build than the one posted already. The other post put a high-end monitor with a mid range GPU which won't be able to get 60FPS on Ultra on any intensive game. He also put the Intel i5s which are heavily beaten by AMD Ryzen.
Ryzen 5 1600
16GB of 3200 speed DDR4 RAM
500GB SSD + 1TB HDD
GTX 1080 which is a strong graphics card that can be paired with any 1440p monitor, even 144hz on some games. That same model is a few $ cheaper off Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GAI6478/ref=twister_B01GFU3AW8
Tempered glass case
Great reliable power supply
Windows 10
Wifi
1080p 144HZ monitor. Could change to a 1440p 60hz IPS monitor if you wanted to.
You can find 1080s for around $500. r/buildapcsales
Edit: just an example if you wanna spend a tad more:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GAI6478/ref=twister_B01GFU3AW8
similar to the deal posted before: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GAI6478/
Is this a good deal for this card or should I HODL?
Paid off, here you go: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01GCAVRSU/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&amp;me=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;sa-no-redirect=1
One could argue that your GPU is a little overboard for the monitor, as a 1070 should do pretty good at 1080p, even at 144hz, but if a 1080 is in the budget, then that's what you should get. I would however, avoid the "Founders edition" card in favor of a partner board with better cooling. That price is also not great. Check out this one, or this one and save yourself a little money and get a better card in the process.
I bought a couple off amazon warehouse, those prices can be pretty good. You look in your area on Craigslist?

Hello, I'm planning on upgrading to a GTX 1080, I have one in mind already, if there's a better one please let me know. My main question however, is regarding the power supply for it. My current PSU is 460w. I'm seeing 500w recommended for the 1080 across the board. Will the 40w difference cause big enough issues that I should upgrade? Or should my current one be able to run the card fine?

I would use PCPartPicker as a great reference point, but make sure to also check /r/buildapcsales (in the sidebar on the right) for even more savings and sometimes even better parts.
If you live in an area that has a Frys/MicroCenter store, you may be even able to get more savings. Also, your list shows you'd be getting free ram 2x8GB (16GB) with your Mobo purchase. Not sure why you added 4x4GB (16GB 4 sticks!)on top of that.
EDIT 1:
Also, check this out:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01GCAVRSU/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=all
That's $120.00 less for your GPU and still a GTX 1080. I didn't make direct comparisons, but hell, I'm sure it's similar. Look at the specs when you get a chance.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16822178380
You could also consider $100 cheaper GTX 1080's like the https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-GV-N1080G1-GAMING-8GD-Graphics/dp/B01GJEE9BG/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1497204248&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=gtx%2B1080&amp;th=1
Not sure exactly how much difference there's between that and the Asus card. The chips are the same so there shouldn't much difference in the gaming performance, noise levels and build quality is another thing though.
And at that point just get a 1080 for $20 more.
edit: well the deal is dead now. You can find others, though.
Reference cards are sexy but 3rd part versions improve temps and performance, get an ASUS or Gigabyte model.
Edit: added links to gpu models
Hi guys,
Do you think the AORUS GTX 1080 Xtreme Edition is worth 60$ more then the Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming?
Aorus: https://www.amazon.ca/Gigabyte-Geforce-Graphics-GV-N1080AORUS-X-8GD/dp/B01N4WLWI0/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1503712525&amp;sr=8-6&amp;keywords=aorus&amp;th=1
Gigabyte: https://www.amazon.ca/Gigabyte-Geforce-Graphics-GV-N1080AORUS-X-8GD/dp/B01GJEE9BG/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1503712525&amp;sr=8-6&amp;keywords=aorus&amp;th=1
I would say get the 1080. Ironically, Gigabyte GTX 1080 is cheaper than 1070 on Amazon right now.
Is this a decent deal being $100 off? Have some Amazon credit I've been building up waiting to upgrade from a GTX780 sometime this fall. That price is only $20 more than the current 1070 variant.
https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-GTX-1080-Gaming/dp/B01GJEE9BG/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1505219244&amp;sr=1-1&amp;refinements=p_n_feature_keywords_five_browse-bin%3A6147187011
There are a couple 1080s below $600 and many below $650, for example this one

if your mobo has pcie-3 lanes, you should be fine, what's your processor if i might ask? also, i would personally recommend the Asus Gtx 1070 Strix edition, or MSI or EVGA's editions over the founders edition.

that isa blower style GPU. where it sucks air in and the force of the sucked in air pushes the hot air out.
this is a "normal" GPU:
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-08G-P4-6173-KR/dp/B01GX5YWAO/ref=pd_lpo_147_bs_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=WDXCNXP9KWZS8DAH9E4H
it has fans that cool of the gpu.
Blower style GPU run hotter than normal; GPU because they have one fan only. That fan also has to work harder so they are generally louder. Besides the noise and heat there is nothing really wrong with them. they still perform well just at a bit higher temps.
i have the blower style GPu i linkd. I like it but its a bit loud.
I am having trouble picking a 1070 graphics card, there are just so many models and brands it is a tad overwhelming. I am currently looking at the this EVGA for 400 US dollars but how does that compare to other slightly more expensive 1070s? This is one of the cheapest I have found, so is it not as great?
I'm about to buy one of these 1070s myself. How can I tell if the pads have already been applied?

Not in my opinion.. the 1070 Initial MSRP was $400..
Amazon That card sold for as low as: $375
https://camelcamelcamel.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-08G-P4-6173-KR/product/B01GX5YWAO
Ok PC Parts Picker: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Tv38TW/evga-geforce-gtx-1070-8gb-sc-gaming-acx-30-video-card-08g-p4-6173-kr?history_days=730
It was under $400 in the past as well..
All that being said I would not pay close to old MSRP for 2 year old Tech.. Your coworker is trying to recoup his losses at buying it 6 months ago for a premium heck 6 months ago is was going for less than $450..
So the Deal is Meh in my opinion for a used card.
Prices on Nvidia cards are continuing to drop.. So I would continue to wait.. Unless you feel absolutely postoperative you NEED a card right now? and THIS is the card for you..
It being a Co-Worker you can beat him about the head lol if it fails shortly there after.. AND you go not have to worry about shipping / or dealing with strangers if your buying a Used card..
Me again personally would NOT buy a used GPU.. Even if I knew the guy..
If I WAS to buy used? I would not pay more than around $320 for that card.. and HE will NOT like THAT lmao.. but hey it IS used and I would want a 20% discount from MSRP ($400 - it sold as low as $375 Apr 30, 2017 from Amazon..
FYI that card is available for preorder on amazon right now.

Gigabyte 1070 G1 Gaming pre-order currently available on Amazon in case you want to play it safe, I plan on canceling Amazon order if I score one from NewEgg later tonight. Amazon doesn't charge until they ship so it's zero-risk.
Pre-order is up on Amazon for this card as of this posting. $429 + applicable taxes:

ZOTAC AMP edition and PNY FE also available for pre-order, US Amazon.
Considering you could get a [1070] (https://www.amazon.ca/Gigabyte-GeForce-Graphics-GV-N1070G1-GAMING-8GD/dp/B01H0WU884/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1482903670&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=1070) for 530 dollars, if you just don't love AMD, I don't think that was a so good deal
Just get the default 1070
Just don't buy EVGA. They keep burning up.
EDIT wrong, forget this
Here's the listing, but it says on the warehouse deals FAQ that products don't generally come with manufacturers warranty. So I guess that answered my question.
$280 seems on the high end for a 1060. You can get 1070s around $350, they often come on /r/buildapcsales https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H0WU884?ref_=twister_B01IUWTLCW&amp;psc=1&amp;pldnSite=1
Otherwise pretty good build. Will be good for gaming.
Hi,
I'm looking at making a good 1920x1080 144hz setup. I've looked at the GPU I want, and the monitor that I want for it. It's a GTX 1070 and an ACER GN246HL monitor.
Monitor
GPU
So I'm asking: Does the dual-link DVI-D cable come with the monitor or GPU? From reading the descriptions, I don't know if it does or not. I want to know this before I start buying parts for my convenience. Would I need to buy it separately? Sorry if this is obvious.
Thanks.
If you click on the link for the Strix 1070 on Amazon it shows there's currently a $20 MIR for it, making it $399.
I've just ordered the following for $633AU delivered.
https://smile.amazon.com/ASUS-GeForce-STRIX-Graphic-STRIX-GTX1070-O8G-GAMING/dp/B01HDUVJ1I
I think that's an outstanding deal.
A new GTX 1070 costs around the same price as those 980 Ti's, and it's faster, I still can't see why you want to for a 980 Ti.

I can't justify that difference when a GTX 1070 is able to overwhelm a GTX Titan X, and it's only 25$ more.

A good price for a premade should make you give up on trying to build your own once you look up the price for the card and CPU. You shouldn't be able to beat a premade by building your own much less by multiple hundreds of dollars. Only way buying this is worth it is if they give like a 10 year warranty. Like seriously are they including a monitor and peripherals in this? Because there must be something I'm not seeing. There are many great premade builds out their OP but this is not one of them.
Sadly, my old i5-4570 CPU appears to have kicked the bucket, in the same PSU failure that took out the motherboard. This was an old DDR3 build, with a 1070 that had carried it far. Thus, I basically will need to rebuild the whole thing.
I still think the 1070 works. What would be the best (aka cheapest) CPU/Motherboard chipset combo that wouldn't throttle a 1070 (This model exactly). I'm not doing more than gaming, spreadsheets, so no video editing/streaming, or overclocking.
As far as I can tell this is the same, although temporarily out of stock. Anyone spot the difference?

Used like new from Amazon Warehouse $400.08.
You could look around on Camelcamelcamel.com. They track price histories. FTW3 cards been very stable.
The 480 has fluctuated more
1070's are also fluctuating a lot. 3rd party sellers are taking advantage of the demand more than Amazon so try to just look at the Amazon prices and ignore the absurd $1060 premium some idiot bought a 1070 8GB ROG STRIX OC for.
Amazon "only" charged $30 more for them at the most- not the worst premium to pay if you don't want to wait on prices to drop.

You can definitely find a 1060 6gb for cheaper than $360 heres one I found: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I5O5AP2/?tag=pcpapi-20 Also id go with an i5 8400 over amd with your budget because it just beats it in gaming in every way. heres a comparison: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-8400-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-1400/3939vs3922 shouldnt even cost much if not any more.

For the CPU (i5 7500) and motherboard (Asus Prime z270A), you might want to consider getting it from Sim Lim Square. Tradepac is selling the bundle for 569. It will be slightly more expensive by around 13 SGD, but you get the warranty. Of course, if warranty doesn't matter, then go ahead and get from Amazon.
For the GPU, your listed MSI Radeon RX 480 8GB Gaming X. Since you are already getting some items from Amazon, you might want to consider getting it from Amazon as well. Link here (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K1JTT8S/ref=twister_B01KKKAS9W?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1). It is going for 245 USD, which should be around 368 SGD (after factoring Credit card and miscellaneous charges), therefore eligible for FSSG and no GST incurred. This should reduce some of the budget hopefully. Of course, you mentioned that you prefer GPU to be bought locally for warranty, so it's up to you whether the money saved is worth it or not.
If you don't mind XFX Radeon RX 480 8GB, you may consider getting it from Lazada (http://www.lazada.sg/xfx-radeon-rx-480-8gb-gddr5-true-oc-1288mhz-triple-x-edition-hardswap-graphics-card-10847248.html). Current price is 389, but with the promo code "CNYHUAT10", you can get a further 10% discount which will bring it down to 359 SGD. There will be local warranty for it.
Also, just to make absolutely sure I don't mess this up haha... this one would work right? I'm so sorry for being such a boob about computers haha

No the gaming x has red and black accents, backplate and a heatsink/fan setup that covers the board. https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GAMING-RX-480-8G/dp/B01K1JTT8S
Samsung seems to be the best memory actually. Maybe your flash wrong? When I flashed myself it didn't work out but I found a bios online for my card that worked perfect.
I have these cards:
MSI GAMING Radeon RX 480 GDDR5 8GB CrossFire VR Ready FinFET DirectX 12 Graphics Card (RX 480 GAMING X 8G) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K1JTT8S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_beq9ybN4HK1ZZ
Yea those are both 480's. The Asus one has a different cooler on it, that's all. The other one is a reference card, or the card with a stock cooler from AMD. Performance wise, they should perform similarly, but the Asus card will run cooler and quieter. There are a ton of RX 480's on the market, all with different designs. There's this one here as well as this one and this one. So to answer your question, yes they're the same cards, just from different manufacturers.
MSI RX 480 8GB @$235 after rebate but it's from amazon, good deal though. If you want the best RX 480 model grab an XFX GTR.
Do you need wireless on your motherboard? What kind of budget?

No. Amazon has it cheaper if you have prime.
https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-Compact-Graphics-ZT-P10700G-10M/dp/B01LLAJ8PU
Otherwise, still no, its a couple dollars more than retail.
Yes, just throw in This GPU and you are set.
Are you in the US?
If you are, that is not a good price.
GTX 980s go for ~$210-230 used IMO.
It's a decent performance increase (32%)
http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-980-vs-AMD-RX-470/2576vs3640
However, for that cost you could get this:

Which gets you a 71% performance increase:

Either your friend is ignorant on component pricing or he's trying to take advantage of you. I bought a 1060 for ~$230 and sold it to my roommate for $160 after I got a great deal on a 980 ti (The upgraded version of the gpu he's selling you, which I got for $250), because I wanted to give my friend a deal.
Lose the case for one, its a good case, but it's more expensive and bigger than you need. Lose the b450, go for a b350 that's half the price and exactly the same performance. That's about £100 savings, put it towards a used 1070, heres one for £254.

I had been to SP road, Bangalore this weekend and they were quoting 33000+GST (~39K) for the Zotac 1070 8GB normal one itself!
https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01LLAJ8PU

curious to see what you guys think of this 1070?

only 2 left in stock but for $580 this is the cheapest 1070 ive ever seen
Dimensions of the GPU aren't as important as the clearance of your case.
This 1070 would fit
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LLAJ8PU/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1481265927&amp;sr=8-2&amp;pi=SX200_QL40&amp;keywords=1070+mini&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=51PMo96-TiL&amp;ref=plSrch
> $379 MSRP that no card sold for
Not quite. Before the boom Zotac's 1070 mini could be snagged for $329-339 on Amazon (source). This lasted for a few months too & that's ~13% less than MSRP.
This page shows Fortnite's minimum specs, as in the Intel HD 4k.
That card would be okay, but you'd be limited on much else you can play. I know it's hard right now for GPU's, so many are over priced because of the bit coin miners.
Try out this 1050 for $40 more than the ATI you listed. You might want to also get more RAM, 4 isn't a whole lot these days.
Also not too sure about that CPU. Again, it matches the minimum specs, but the minimum shouldn't be a goal.
I'm not horribly familiar with newer emulators (like for GameCube) but I've seen N64 emulators work just fine on an Intel Atom iGPU. I can't weigh in on the necessity of one for GameCube.
Even if the GPU is 100% required, you're wasting your money with that PoS GPU. Get somethign like this instaed.
Honestly, that is a terrible deal.
You're much better off getting an off-lease intel i5 workstation for ~$300 and putting a ~$120 1050 in it.
The off lease computer should come with windows anyways and you'll get close to 60% more cpu performance and close to TRIPLE the gpu performance.
EDIT: This computer, with this GPU is going to put you way ahead of that computer you're looking at.
Use this computer instead with that GPU and you'll have over double the performance for video editing.
Just out of curiosity what music production software are you using? Most are optimized for multicore processing (some more than others). A Ryzen 5 would probably be a better choice having those 2 extra cores.
Graphics card you dont need much for audio production as there will be no GPU load. Something like this would be more than enough, https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Geforce-GDDR5-Graphic-GV-N1050OC-2GD/dp/B01MG0733A/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1503145830&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=GTX+1050
Or if you wanna save even more money buy a used 950 off ebay.
this If you have the money get a 4gb version of it.
https://www.amazon.ca/RX-580-ARMOR-8G-OC/dp/B06XZQMMHJ that's for the 580. The 1030 just isn't worth it with a budget of 400 $
https://www.amazon.ca/RX-580-ARMOR-8G-OC/dp/B06XZQMMHJ
It's CA$300, which is about US$227, while the MSRP is at $230
This for $235.90 (pm with memory express) or the 580 8gb for $299? That 580 has a crappy fan and cooling is already an issue with this 1080p only system and both might possibly be limited by it's intel E8500.

GT 1030s have been creeping up in price. I figure it's the pricing settling back to non-holiday-pricing, slightly due to memory prices, and mining generally pulling all graphics card pricing upward. I still vaguely remember a few months ago when you could find them brand new in the $60s.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01870887
See page 20. The card will only work in the x16 slot. I fear that the thick heatsink of that GT 1030 may be blocked by the CPU heatsink.
May be getting this instead. It is smaller but the fan will make some noise.
https://www.amazon.ca/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GV-N1030D5-2GL-Computer-Graphics/dp/B071DY2VJR/
Also note you monitor need DVI or HDMI. VGA monitor will require an active adapter.

I didn't check the qvl list of the mobo because I just picked one that should work fine without a bios update at a price point another could match.
This is obviously under budget and you could improve things you wanted... but I would say clarify your changes if you thought going prebuilt was a better option.
This is the 80 dollar graphics card in the other commentators suggestion... getting it still has you under budget from his "cheap" prebuilt which I assume doesn't include tax? (which isn't needed for this build because the processor is an APU that has fantastic integrated graphics)
I will assume someone will say get a bigger power supply... but you don't need it. Minimum for a 1060 6gb is still 400 so this should be good to just upgrade to a decent gpu when your friend has money.
Also someone might say the dell has windows, but this is at least 60 or likely more dollars cheaper (even if you do add a 1030 and sub in a 1600) that you can put toward windows later if you want it... or just not. I have made 4 pcs that use the unactivated (not illegal!) win 10 pro.
random comparison video GT 1030 (G4560) vs Vega 11 (Ryzen 5 2400G) Comparison in 12 Games GPU vs APU Or google... there are tons. It is important to note the RAM speed. I parted out 3000mhz, which should be good to go. Also there are fps discrepancies due to the resolution differences in some videos. FPS is increased extremely when on 900p or similar which works on some games.
Building this gets you a could good CPU that acts as a playable GPU, saves money from the total build budget, and allows the computer to be used NOW and then save for a real GPU in a much shorter time.
video editing is mostly a cpu-heavy task, even built-in intel hd 4000 graphics should be good enough. But you could always add one of these guys
https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GV-N1030D5-2GL-Computer-Graphics/dp/B071DY2VJR/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1537981523&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=gtx+1030
should be compatible without needing to upgrade the psu or anything.
You could do worse than this
The smallest GPU available is the integrated one in an Intel CPU or a Raven Ridge APU (AMD 2200g/2400g).
Outside of that, there are MXM cards (requires special motherboard) and single slot low profile ITX cards like this 1030. (There are also lots of older and cheaper cards in this form factor, like my Sapphire 7750.) Neither of these fits in the Chopin, at least not without significant mods.
Basically what I was saying last night, for like $80 you could get like a GTX 1030 that would be 30 times more powerful and that’s the bottom of the line today haha
edit: you know, playable
edit 2: I remembered this video which is pretty funny, your graphics card is two generations newer than this one but probably still like 9 behind current
A gt 1030 would work well. Here is one on amazon. If you looking for one somewhere else then make sure you get the gddr5 version. https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GV-N1030D5-2GL-Computer-Graphics/dp/B071DY2VJR/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=gt+1030&amp;qid=1572526287&amp;sprefix=gt+&amp;sr=8-3

Do you really want the extra features of the x470 chipset? I'd just recommend something like a B450 Tomahawk.
&#x200B;
550W is also enough for your build.
&#x200B;

I would recommend a 1050/1060 over a 960. they will be much better, and you usually can get one for the same price.
Your current GPU is quite old and outdated. Your CPU is old, but not terrible.
Edit: actually read your post, if it got slower probably is your hard drive. Get a SSD and put your OS on it, if you can afford get a big enough one for your games, if not put your games on your old drive.
Edit: I’m confused with the downvotes, of what there is to disagree with.

https://www.amazon.de/ZOTAC-GeForce-1070-GDDR5-MINI/dp/B01LLAJ8PU/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1493154914&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=gtx+1070
I can't actually get on Newegg's european site from my work. The 1070's are considerably cheaper in the US right now, around 340 USD, which with the exchange rate is around 311 EUR. so the price difference wasn't as small as I had thought.
I can't seem to find any measurements for your case other than external ones. Judging by those measurements, you should be able to fit at least a mini 1070 such as this one, or this one. You should probably open your case and make sure there's at least 21 CM from the back of the case to where the tip of the graphics card would be, though.
Also, make sure your PSU has an 8-pin PCI-E connector, and is at least 500W.
Edit wtf, Amazon won't let me complete the sale. Second time this has happened with a GPU. Kindly disregard the post. Ps just ordered a 1070 "used like new" from Amazon for $350. I know you're looking for s 1080 but fwiw ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 Mini 8GB GDDR5 VR Ready Super Compact Gaming Graphics Card (ZT-P10700G-10M) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LLAJ8PU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_yUkszb1FE3DP2
Any reason this wouldn't suit my needs?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LLAJ8PU/?tag=pcpapi-20
The only difference I see is that it's "mini" but I'm not sure what that affects.
Zotac Amp Mini is $334, pretty enticing
That's crazy, I didn't know there was such a shortage.
Still, this is hardly a deal. You'd be better off spending an extra $60 and getting a 1070.
Got this, might be interested in swapping

Hey, I really appreciate your reply! I really like what you have spec'ed out for me on this build :-).
A question on the graphics card. For $100 more I can this GTX 1070: https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-Compact-Graphics-ZT-P10700G-10M/dp/B01LLAJ8PU/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1486115279&amp;sr=1-5&amp;keywords=gtx+1070
Do you think its worth it? I know there is a big performance difference between the 1060 and 1070 and this would delay the necessity for future upgrades.
You might wanna reconsider that price seeing as it's readily available for about $10 more.
Best I could do dawg

Not sure if you can cancel your order or if its in your orice range but this is a decent deal. Better hurry.
This seems to be the cheapest 1070. https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-Compact-Graphics-ZT-P10700G-10M/dp/B01LLAJ8PU/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LLAJ8PU/?tag=pcpapi-20 this is the cheapest on PCPartPicker and it isn't a blower style.
No it's US....
Wooooo, that looks pretty much like my PC. You'll be able to play pretty much any current game on very high/max settings, its kind of overkill to get the most out of Overwatch(it's not a super-demanding game) You can definitely get the monitor keyboard and mouse for cheaper, ZOTAC has a good 1070 for cheaper on amazon
The CPU Cooler is optional because the R5 1600 comes with a pretty decent heat sink that is RGB and you could try picking up a different variant of 1070 to save some money. Lastly you could try looking for faster ram which helps Ryzen performance a bit but all this is down to personal preference.

No, but you can do it manually. A regular Amazon URL might look like:

Delete all the crap off the end and you just have https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LLAJ8PU/ which is a valid URL.
B01LLAJ8PU is Amazon's item number for this product. Put that on the end of an Amazon.de URL and you'll be on the "same" product.

Hi, so I purchased this graphics card from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-Compact-Graphics-ZT-P10700G-10M/dp/B01LLAJ8PU
And the issue I'm running into is with my case.
https://i.imgur.com/usvNj6l.jpg
I highlighted the red spot that is posing the problem. Basically I need another one of those slots back there to be open, and it simply isn't. I'm not sure if I should cut it off or what.
The worst case scenario is I'll have to buy a new case but I'm hoping it doesn't come to that.
The difference between a mini and a full sized gpu is that a full sized one can be overclocked more because it has better cooling. However, the difference isn't a big deal. Not sure how to answer your first question.
You definitely shouldn't get that specific video card. Here is a Zotac 1070 mini for over a $100 less. Another one.
Also, if you decide to build a PC with a 1070, I recommend a Ryzen 1600. It's a $180 cheaper than the 7700 and can be overclocked with its stock cooler. If you changed that build to have a Ryzen 1600, B350 motherboard, and the first 1070 I linked, it would cost less than $1300, which is a way better value than the prebuilt PCs you linked.
This is what I got, and According to pcpartpicker Everything is compatible
I wasn't really planning on getting rid of the SSD or downgrading the CPU. My budget is more of a soft cap, so that if I aimed for 1000 I wouldn't end up spending 1200.
If I did decide to upgrade the graphics card, would this: https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-Compact-Graphics-ZT-P10700G-10M/dp/B01LLAJ8PU/ref=sr_1_14?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479878800&amp;sr=1-14&amp;keywords=1070
be a good one to pick?

GTX 1060, 6GB is in your budget. This GPU is already almost twice the capacity if your GTX 970(3.5GB)
Though GTX 1070 (8GB)'s can periodically be found on sale for low $400's. You don't need a GTX 1080+ to enjoy AAA title games (or even VR) nowadays.
I have many friends enjoying big games on their GTX 1060 comfortably.
Edited!
More 1060's here, sorted by clock speed. All of them under $300. EVGA is a very reputable brand, and almost unanimously praised for good products and excellent customer support.
I've seen 1080 video cards go on sale for $500 just by browsing r/buildapcsales daily. Saw a 1070 today in the 300s.

Yes they’re plugged in, and my GPU has no power source, or I’m retarded.
i'm trying to update this old ass hand-me-down computer now that I have a little bit of money. It has a GeForce GTX 680, and I wanna upgrade to a GeForce GTX 1050 and I'm wondering if it's as simple as swapping them out, given I have a decent power supply. I've read a lot but never actually done this stuff so I'm not sure what information you need.

Also will installing it be hard? And is there a tutorial video you recommend?
Thanks for all the help friend! :)
so to play this game, would i need to purchase some sort of graphics card of Nvidia or AMD?

Thank's for the build. I have a few questions. What if we switch the video card for another 1050 like this one? I saw this on BuildaPCsales subreddit.
I spoke with him mom. If we increase the budget by a hundred dollars, can we get him a gaming monitor so he doesn't have to use his tv.
hang on theres some weird behaviour. if i use OP link it shows $99 but if i search it the page show $111

Hi, So I built my current rig back in April 2017 and thought I'd upgrade this black friday but I dont know what to upgrade. I'm running:
&#x200B;
Case: Fractal Design Core 1000 USB 3.0 Case
&#x200B;
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-H110M-A LGA1151 Intel H110 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard
&#x200B;
Processor: Intel 3.70 GHz Core i3-6100 3M
&#x200B;
Graphics card: GIGABYTE Geforce GTX 1050 2GB
&#x200B;
RAM: 1 stick of Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 Dram
&#x200B;
Power Supply: EVGA 430 W1
&#x200B;
Storage: WD Blue 1TB Sata Hard Drive
&#x200B;
This is the only PC I've ever built and I've never upgraded before. I would like to upgrade my CPU because its an i3 and I know its getting outdated but I dont know if thats the only thing needing an upgrade. I usually get 150+ frames on Counter-Strike and around 120fps on Overwatch but these are all on low settings. However I just recently bought BO4 and can barely run at 60 fps at low. Any advice as to what processor I need to upgrade to?
&#x200B;
&#x200B;
OK it looks like you have enough room for a decent video card.
You have an Allied SL-8360BTX 350W power supply, so you need something better because it doesn't have the required PCI-e power cable nor the proper wattage.
A decent power supply.
An HD monitor could be 720P or 1080P in size. Either size monitor would be well served with a RX 570 or if you have a bit more money and higher expectations an RX 580.
You could go with a GTX 1050, and you wouldn't have to buy a power supply but it wouldn't be as fluid in games as the RX 570 or the RX 580.
Just grab a gtx 1050. There is a good deal on amazon right now I just took advantage of: https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Geforce-G1Gaming-Graphic-GV-N1050OC-2GD/dp/B01MG0733A/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1498747388&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=gtx+1050
Then do you think I should forego both of them and just go with a gtx 1050? Based on benchmarks I've seen it out preforms a 560 in most things, I'm worried about compatability with the MOBO though but I'm just going based off of stories I've heard. The height of it also seems to be similiar to the 580 but I can't really tell.
That is a 1050, however I would recommend getting one with 2 fans like this one.

I'm looking to buy a graphics card for my first PC build (which will happen in the next few months) because I got a relatively substantial amazon gift card. Literally the only game I play is Rocket League, and it's the only game I plan on playing. What is my best value option?
I don't have a 4k monitor (nor do I intend to get one) so I'm really not trying to run everything at max settings/max fps. I just want something that will run the game well enough on high settings.
My current thought is this one but if this one would help me that much more, I think I'd be willing to dish out the cash. Or if there's an entirely different one that would work best for my needs then by all means suggest another!
https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Geforce-GDDR5-Graphic-GV-N1050OC-2GD/dp/B01MG0733A/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1506374546&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=GTX+1050 Is this one fine?
Don't look at those guys saying you need gtx970 or more than 8gb of ram
RAM : Got all extension + something like 1000 packages (mods) and my sims 4 use 1,2gb so even 4gb might be fine... but 8gb is a must if you want to run other things in background like youtube...
Used GTX 970? not really needed, again, if you don't want to max out graphics, the 1030 you linked is enough, but well if you could afford some kind of GTX1050 it might be better and you could max out graphics. [Here is one at 119$](

Thanks! Do you think this card would be a worthwhile upgrade?
LOL, the 1030 is supposed to be the $65-$70 card, and it's barely worth that.
Save up $40 more and grab this. It'll be the best you'll get in these times...

I could do up to 150, but any more and I'd feel I am spendint too much
here is a 1050 on amazon for ~75 after rebate, if you or someone you know has prime
found this deal on /r/buildapcsales - great sub there as well
eh, its just cause its an integrated GPU - those are meant for basic tasks and office work, not really for gaming, though some can work well for it. as long as you have a slot and PSU for the GPU, it will be well worth it

I don't know what your price range is but a GTX 1050 is $150 on Amazon and will run Diablo 3 on max settings at 60 fps. And it'll let you play games like Overwatch on medium settings fairly smoothly.

I picked up a GTX 1050 recently for $120. Plays games fine on the older system I put it in. Small card, does not require external power, nice and quiet.
You did not mention a budget, but you will be hard-pressed to go cheaper than a GTX 1050 and still be able to play "every" game in existence.
I was thinking this:

this is more expensive but churns out frames very well for its price point, but may be a bit much for your needs. this is a great value option if you want 60+ fps and good textures. This is a bit more expensive, but if you have any future interest in 3D rendering than this is your card, will perform a bit better than the 1050 ti.
My current parts are listed in the post, the PCPartPicker breakdown. Currently I'm torn between the RX 580 ARMOR 8G OC and the RX 580 GAMING X 8G.
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-RX-580-ARMOR-8G/dp/B06XZQMMHJ
the card alone that comes with this package
Alright so I found a RX 580 for 375USD that will restock on the 18th I suggest waiting until until then and buy that right away. That will fit your needs well. I have a 480 8gb that can run any game well.
Here’s the link to the card:

Seems awfully disingenuous to say my recommendation is double the price.
I welcome you to link a non-refurb/open box that is around $115, though.
If you're looking at that 1060, its showing about 330 after MIR,
This 8gb 580 is 317 with free shipping from amazon:
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B06XZQMMHJ/?tag=pcp0f-20
Holy crap you're right! I just looked at the price of my card that I bought on Feb 9 for $189 (Link) and the friggin' thing is $265 now!? WTF?
Although, this card is a new 8GB RX 580 @ $239, so it could just be lower supply = higher price I guess.
I removed the windows license,
I just want to make sure i have all the right parts on amazon. Are these correct?

Can you get an extended warranty on it? I have trouble trusting used products but this is a pretty good deal, a new Strix 580 is going for like $370. If you don’t mind going with another brand, here are some cheaper 580s with similar specs:
Aorus Card
MSI Card
Red Devil Card
I can understand why you’d want the Strix though. Beautiful card. It’s really up to you, just be careful. If you can somehow get more warranty on the Strix I’d say it’s a pretty good deal.
Not exactly, try https://www.amazon.ca/MSI-RX-580-8G-OC/dp/B06XZQMMHJ
Thank you very much! I was wondering, should I have bought the MSI RX 580 Armor 8G OC instead of the GTX 1060 6GB SSC considering it's $50 chaper at $299.97 on Amazon? https://www.amazon.ca/MSI-RX-580-8G-OC/dp/B06XZQMMHJ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539124204&sr=8-1&keywords=rx+580
I keep reading conflicting things about the two but I don't have a Freesync monitor either. Would the extra VRAM really help in the future?
I'd spend a tad bit more on and get a 580 (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B06XZQMMHJ/?tag=pcp0f-20&amp;th=1)
It's significantly more powerfull (http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-RX-580-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1050-Ti/3923vs3649)
Bought this guy: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-RX-580-8G-OC/dp/B06XZQMMHJ/ref=sr_1_1
&#x200B;
Had Amazon points to use. Been waiting on a 580 within my price range.
Going to take advantage of this promotion and the mail in rebate.

Dumb question. I can see that one has more words than the other, but is there much of an actual different between these two very similar cards?

Both are the same but it seems one has extra options?
Is this rx 580 good enough for a 1440p 144Hz IPS Freesync monitor? I know it depends on the game, so say is it good enough for League of Legends vs Witcher 3 vs the new CoD
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-RX-580-8G-OC/dp/B06XZQMMHJ
Oh! Alright thanks for the tip! Is this good? Saw it in a speed build, would this be good?
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-RX-580-8G-OC/dp/B06XZQMMHJ
Can I use this graphics card in my computer?
On the GPU subject, is this a good card as a better option than the rx560 I have listed?
Edit: I just checked amazon.com and the card is listed at 620$, so I suppose this is a good deal.
Can you just post a link in the comments please? Cannot find it still.
Edit: This one?
Lmao also not in the US so doing the same but from what I gather you can get an RX 580 (slightly outperforms 1060 6gb form what i've seen) for around $200 Here. Not sure how this pans out in the Canadian market. And I understand your perspective for $300 being low end but for those who wish to start out at PC with more of a budget I think labelling these cards as low end is fairly misleading. ( In my opinion low end is more 1050, RX470) for a 1060/RX580 would be more midrange. Also ty for the link.
I was checking out the MSI 580 Armor OC 8gb but was notified by someone on Reddit that it had sub-par cooling. I was referred by articles and multiple Reddit threads to the Sapphire 580 PULSE OC 8gb and the XFX 580 GTS XXX OC 8gb. To be honest I am kinda overwhelmed by the options and all that people say about each one.
&#x200B;
PS: The amazon links are just to specific models and not best price!
i guess i'll follow your suggestion then.
One last question:
What vendor is better for my GPU? MSI or ASUS?
I'm talking specifically about these 2:
ASUS
https://www.amazon.it/ASUS-DUAL-RX580-O8G-Radeon-580-GDDR5/dp/B0716KMWQY

So went to start adding stuff to my cart and on Amazon they had a bundle with the processor, MB and GPU. I think the GPU might be a bit over kill though.

This had probably been asked a million times, but what are safe oc settings for my rx 580 8gb ([specicifically this one] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XZQMMHJ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1)) I can use for a couple of days continuously, and ones that would be safe for just a night? I would also appreciate fan speed. Am using msi afterburner. Thanks.
so i was going to buy this card here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XZQMMHJ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
But do you suggest i scratch that and go with the one you sent me? also another quick question sorry to bombard you with them but is there a difference between the card i just posted and this one? the second card is cheaper just red?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079NX4GCF/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1
I think I'll be going with your advice then. I've been hunting around for a decently priced 580 but I can't seem to understand why some are so much more expensive than others that seemingly have the same specs.
What is your opinion on https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XZQMMHJ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;psc=1 ? Does it look solid for the price?
Edit: Wrong link
Will you only be buying from Amazon Canada? I'd get this instead.

no i dont the psu is that good, ive never heard of thermaltake as a psu before and i think there is no warranty use this psu https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Warranty-Power-Supply-100-N1-0650-L1/dp/B01LYRXRDI/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=650W&amp;qid=1563055611&amp;s=electronics&amp;sr=1-6 . And, the 3400g and https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-B450M-Promontory-CrossFireX-Motherboard/dp/B07MV9BMNY is a pretty good combo together and get this gpu from sapphire amd https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-11265-05-20G-Backplate-Graphics-Graphic/dp/B06ZZ6FMF8/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=rx+580&amp;qid=1563055995&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-3 its $10 cheapr so that it will fit your price range. And, the motherboard supports crossfire so vega 11+ rx580 and you can probaly get it cheaper used. Lastly, you may need a bios update and get a bootkit from amd to upgrade it
Ok thanks.

No problem!
In my opinion this is probably your best bet
Sapphire 11265-05-20G Radeon PULSE RX 580 8GB GDDR5 DUAL HDMI / DVI-D / DUAL DP OC with Backplate (UEFI) PCI-E Graphics Card Graphic Cards https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B06ZZ6FMF8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_hPloDbHCPJPE4
Combines a good looking backplate, and 8gb or vram to future proof your build at a decent price as well
Good luck with the build anyway!

I can find a pretty cheap 580 but the biggest issue I would have and I know this is straight
&#x200B;
Right now my 750 card had 3 regular display ports. The 580 I see has 2 and 1 DVI and 2 HDMI.
&#x200B;
I like having the same connection for all 3 displays so the resolution is identical.
&#x200B;
Am I a being to OCD?
&#x200B;
https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-11265-05-20G-Backplate-Graphics-Graphic/dp/B06ZZ6FMF8

Is the card I might order.
Looking for the best value for a graphics card to pair with an i7 3770K for BOTW Wii U and eventually Switch emulation on linux. Have been using the iGPU as I haven't been gaming on PC for a couple years. I don't want to spend more than 300 bucks, ideally more like 200. 60 FPS would be nice if possible but not essential, and I would definitely like to pump up the internal resolution for a 1080P monitor better than the original consoles can do.
What do you guys think is a good value? I was looking at this RX 580
https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-11265-05-20G-Backplate-Graphics-Graphic/dp/B06ZZ6FMF8
Probably vRam. A good card is this https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-11265-05-20G-Backplate-Graphics-Graphic/dp/B06ZZ6FMF8/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=GWNGM7M2NKY56W0MWAST
I am currently typing this on my 2009 cMP. I tried to upgrade my GPU to that XFX Radeon 580 XXX one on Amazon I think you're talking about and it was clearly refurbished and had a different graphics card's BIOS flashed to it. It caused me nothing but problems so I instead bought this Sapphire 11265-05-20G Radeon Pulse RX 580 8GB GDDR5 Dual HDMI / DVI-D / Dual DP OC with Backplate (UEFI) PCI-E Graphics Card Graphic Cards now down to $200 and it works perfect. I highly recommend it if you want 4k @ 60Hz in macOS and video games in win10. It works directly OOTB (still no boot screen) and Sapphire brand cards are the brand recommended most by Apple. I also upgraded my CPU to the x5690 which has provided, IMO, even better performance improvements if you were thinking about that as well.
DisplayPort is fine - so long as I can get the 60hz. I've been looking at This card, but I can't find where they say it does HDMI 2 or not.
My one "monitor" is a 4k tv, so I'm assuming I can just get an adapter if I plug from DisplayPort - there's no loss in signal or quality doing that right?
I would advise looking at either a RX580 or a GTX 1060 or RTX 2060. I wouldn't recommend getting anything lower because then your would have to change settings and stuff.
Secondly, is the card you are choosing has a version with higher VRAM, you might want to pick that. (RX580 4G be RX580 8G) a lot of games need the extra memory and will load faster, won't stutter as often and will be able to use higher quality shaders compared to a lower VRAM card.
Also if you are going for a Nvidia card, you are going to want to buy a EVGA card. They have very good warranty and have overall the best support and rma I have used in my life.
You can search Google for them and mostly all you find will be people praising them lol.
If you are going to buy an amd card, you should look into sapphire. I don't have experience with them but all I've heard has been extremely good.
Overall, I think the best card you can get would be this
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZZ6FMF8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_l8F3Cb638CQS0

580 8gb sapphire pulse is 200
The AMD model is RX580 PULSE - which I found at a good price at my local supplier.
How is this model compared to the Nitro+?
@Default_Value Thanks for the reply mate!
I read on Tonymac's website that the new AMD cards may have compatibility issues - " As of macOS High Sierra 10.13.4, Apple has added support for the following AMD graphics cards. Please note these cards have only very recently become officially supported and may be more complicated to configure than NVIDIA graphics cards. "
Any recommended RX 580s? I found those 2 on Amazon. Prices differ wildly. Not exactly sure why since they're from the same line.

I don't know if we really need the liquid cooling especially if I'm going with a cheaper CPU/GPU and won't be overclocking. I think I'll stick to air cooling like you say but I'll have to look into it more. The maintenance and set up for the liquid cooling looks to be beyond my expertise already. I thought the self-contained sealed liquid cooling kits like the CORSAIR Hydro H55 were a superior alternative to air cooling. I'm guessing I was wrong on that assumption.
&#x200B;
The US 4GB version of this card is actually only $10 USD cheaper at Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-11265-09-20G-Radeon-backplate-Graphics/dp/B071CPJZSX/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1536765686&sr=8-1&keywords=Sapphire+PULSE+RX+580+4GB+GDDR5
&#x200B;
However, the 8GB version is $10 USD cheaper than the 4GB card above:
https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-11265-05-20G-Backplate-Graphics-Graphic/dp/B06ZZ6FMF8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1536765842&sr=8-2&keywords=Sapphire+PULSE+RX+580+8GB+GDDR5
&#x200B;
In Canada though, price difference between the 2 cards is around $50-$70. Not worth that extra amount depending on what your goal is for a setup.
&#x200B;
I had a friend tell me I should have waited, since NVIDIA's new cards are launching soon but that's no guarantee of any price drops on their mid-range stuff. Even if the price drops on a 1060, likely only be $50 here in Canada.
Probably same for the 580, I expect the price difference between 4GB and 8GB to always be in that $50 gap.

Thanks for the help, I'm going to upgrade the case.
Don't know how much you know about video cards, but is there much of a difference between these two? I bought this one:

and realized I could have this one for $8 more (I still could easily swap)

I don't see much spec difference. But I don't know enough to truly dig deep and distinguish the two.
The Ryzen 5 1600 comes with a CPU cooler, so you do not need to buy one.
&#x200B;
There is the Vega 56 ($300) which will perform very close to the 2060. The RX 580 will be able to push out 144FPS all on low settings. There isn't much performance difference between the RX 580 and 590, so I would just get the RX 580. Another option is buying a GTX 1070, which will perform in between the 580 and 2060 (closer to the 2060) though. You can get a refurbished one for about $225.

Yeah, that would be fine. I’d spend a little more and get this though.
I appreciate the lists, guys. In researching it seems like I should avoid NVIDIA drivers and go with Radeon cards. I can confirm that as I have the NVIDIA driver completely disabled to get my setup to work. In light of that I searched around and found these two RX 580-based cards recommended, leaning towards the Asus. There doesn't seem to be any compatbility issues here. Any reason I shouldn't go for one of these? Thanks for helping a noob out.

I live in Hong Kong so don't have much choice except Amazon and physical purchases, most of these have free shipping so it's the same price as physical. Also the GPU says $240 there but the actual one I'm getting is $190, I don't know why it says $240 there.
Thanks a lot, I think I'm going to just get the RX 580, this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZZ6FMF8/ and this adapter: https://www.amazon.com/COMeap-Express-Video-Adapter-15-inch/dp/B07J336WY4/
Once I install the card, will I be able to just go to the App store and download/install Catalina?
Thanks!
FWIW, for my 5,1 I changed out my Macvidcards flashed GTX980 to a Sapphire RX580 and I've been pleased with the results. However I acknowledge that you say "best for video editing" -- which as grumpy foul mouth posted below -- there are faster alternatives but that require more mods. So for me, "best" means what gets me quickly over the Nvidia/Apple roadblock, to Mojave, and keeping my 5,1 going for a bit longer with minimum hassle and $$. To me pouring cash into a 5,1 doesn't make a ton of sense, but a $200 upgrade for another 1-2 years seems reasonable.
I regularly edit photos in Lightroom and videos in FCP. The change to Mojave is nice (be sure you have the right wifi/bt card) and the speed has been great for my needs. It's not night and day different but it's definitely faster and good enough for my daily work use -- I mostly edit 1080 and 4k from cameras such as the 5d Mark IV, GoPro, Iphone, etc. I admit though, I don't nerd out too much on comparing test scores and I also am not editing 8k raw footage. I looked up various tests and it seemed that the 580 was as good or a bit better than the GTX980, and for my daily pro use it's definitely seems quicker, especially w/ Lightroom as it now uses GPU processing.
Like @ArkadyBogdanov said, the RX580 is the simplest solution AFAIK -- just need the correct power cable (6 pin to 8 pin) and make sure it fits in there w/ your other PCI cards, as it's a bit wider than the GTX980 and similar cards. Mine is in slot 2 which disables slot 3 b/c of its width -- but there it is better cooled as it's not covered up w/ my double Sonnet sata card w/ is now in slot 1 (the bottom slot). I could put the 580 in slot 1 and barely squeeze in the sata card above it, but since I don't need slot 3 the better solution was obvious.

You want a small motherboard? try GIGABYTE B450 I AORUS PRO WiFi .
I built a Ryzen rig using that motherboard recently. Pair it with a Ryzen 3600, some DDR4-3200 RAM, and any kind of GPU equal to or better than anRX-580 8GB.

How about this
1080 and 60hz, though my Mboard supports Crossfire and not SLI, so should I invest on AMD than Nvidia? Does it perform better on AMD gpus, i think not.
About the RX580 8gigs, its lower than 1060ti 6gis. I compared these, idk if these are kinda the same? RX580 vs 1060ti

Hopefully this showed you the different cards that can go with the builds. Unless you're on a tight budget than the integrated graphics will do good for basic things.
Maybe you can get something like a 550 or 650, but they're so old it might be tough to get them. Plus they might not even work well because of how old they are now...
Doesn't get much cheaper than this:

Thank you! So I'm not good with understanding requirements for PC components but I'm assuming for a GPU the only thing that I would need is for it to be PCIE x16 compatible and whatever recommended PSU wattage. Is that correct? I've been looking around for any video card that matches those 2 criteria and there's actually a ton of options ranging from 50$ to 200$ even when looking at the ones under 100$.
&#x200B;
For example there's this Gigabyte GT 1030 and this ASUS GT 710. The major difference I see in the Gigabyte card is that it supports overclocking and has a bit higher memory speed. So if I don't care about overclocking then the ASUS card would be better for me correct? Also would a 4gb DDR3 card be better than a 2gb DDR5? I'm not sure how much better DDR3/4/5 are compared to the amount of memory in the card being 1, 2, or 4 gb.
&#x200B;
Should I keep my focus more on the card being a DDR5 and having good memory speed? Apologies for so many questions.

Will this work for my purposes?
I haven't built a PC in 10 years. Looking to get a low profile GPU for an optiplex, but I'm not sure about how HDMI works on modern cards. Does this card output audio over hdmi, and how can I find out the answer to this in the future?

They have to be low profile like:

Fits in the x16 slot and I can keep my WiFi card in the X4 slot.
Or

Because it’s a dual slot card, I’d have to do away with my WiFi card and plug the GPU into the x4 slot as there’s not enough room fit in the x16 slot. The SFF Dell has the the x4 above the x16 slot and the x16 slot is right above the PSU. A dual slot card physically won’t fit where the x16 slot is located.
Here you go!
For the SFF models you'll need a low profile, single slot card like this one, that's why our options are limited.
for that specific case i got this one https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GV-N1030D5-2GL-Computer-Graphics/dp/B071DY2VJR/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_lp_t_3/134-1598429-5550768?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=RF3JWY3SN2EPGD5QNC4M
actually whoops it was a 1030. The 1050 low profiles are much more expensive

Will putting this SSD and GPU into that computer be a problem? Is it inefficient?
Here's the GPU, and I'm not 100% what PSU I'm using but as far as I can tell my computer is this one here. I bought it refurbished on Craigslist so it could be slightly different specs, but I'm not sure how to check what PSU is actually in there. I posted about upgrading the video card a couple weeks ago and some people in the thread there pointed out that the PSU might not be powerful enough. What do you think?

Here are the two options I’m considering now.
Vega 56 for $250 because I’m planning on signing up for the amazon credit card since I buy so much from them anyway.
Or this
Vega 64 for $400 from Newegg. It comes with that bundle that I assume I could sell for like 50 dollars.
Vega 56 for 299 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-11276-02-40G-Radeon-Pulse-Graphics/dp/B07BGZNTQJ/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Vega+56&amp;qid=1557756728&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-1
Buy this one if you can find a deal you want on it, it is one of the better Vega 56 cards.
You should consider vega 56, at stock it's already better than the 1660ti but with an overclock or even bios from vega 64 it destroys a 1660ti and it comes with free games, it's slightly more expensive than the 1660ti but it's worth it
Edit:https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-11276-02-40G-Radeon-Pulse-Graphics/dp/B07BGZNTQJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=vega+56&amp;qid=1557216214&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-1
If I go with a Vega 56, would you say that an extra $15 is worth it for the Sapphire Pulse model over this Gigabyte one?
on a side note, is it worth buying the vega 64, at the link mentioned above, or going with the vega 56 for 100 bucks less, at this link:

Also, I understand that the 880 card is coming out this year, should I wait for that? Would it be better than the 780? Or could it coming out reduce the cost of the 780? Thanks so much for reading

Will a gtx 780, this one to be exact, fit in a corsair 300 r? this one to be exact
I have the EVGA 780, and it comes "superclocked", does that mean there's no point in overclocking it? I've read in some threads here that factory overclocking can be bullshit.
i agree with that thought process. faster start-up and stuff is nice, but nothing beats getting beautiful performance in games.
i'd recommend a nicer 780 edition like this though:

My computer will be used for netflix, gaming, youtube, reddit, torrenting and soon I would like to learn to edit gopro videos at highest resolution. Most played are civ5 and league. I would like to run everything at max.

I have a LG 34UM95 ordered. While ordering it is one thing and finally receiving it is another. I'm looking to upgrade my 760 to something beefier for 1440p+ gaming.
I'm wondering what is better for 1440p+ gaming: Nvidia's GTX 780 or AMD's R9 290X. They're comparable in price.
Simply put, would you pick the 780 or the 290X?

I thought they looked like this: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-GTX780-SuperClocked-03G-P4-2784-KR/dp/B00CUIVSNS Maybe there are two different models but most of the EVGA Superclocked/FTW designs are like this.
Yea, and I would really like to tell you that You should not buy the 780 it's a good card, buy the 980 or 970but NOT the 780! BUY THIS! IT's so much better.
Is there something wrong with this one?

Bought it last year, still got two years of warranty, lost the boxes though. LOL
I'm looking to upgrade my monitor. I have an EVGA GTX 780 SC. My main question is does this card support G-sync? I see the gtx 780 on the list of cards that do support g-sync, does that mean ALL 780s? I purchased my card on Amazon in early July 2013, and there is no reference to G-sync on the box, like there was on my girlfriends gtx 970. I just wanted to make sure that Nvidia didn't start releasing G-sync versions after I bought my card.
Additionally, will this card even run a 1440p g-sync monitor very well by itself? just planning on a single monitor with games like Rome 2, Elder Scrolls Online, and soon GTAV.
If anyone has any suggestions on a 27 inch monitor that could run well with my card, I'd appreciate some help choosing a monitor as well.
Thank you

Not the OP, but they sell a SuperClocked edition, clocked at 967 MHz base / 1020 MHz boost.
For comparison, the Gigabyte Windforce OC edition of the 780 is clocked lower, at 954 MHz base / 1006 MHz boost.

CPU & GPU are the most important when it comes to games/streaming.
When you open a game, windows allocates it a fixed percentage of the RAM and it doesn't move much, as long as you're not at 80% memory usage while streaming you should be fine.
Some games are heavier on CPU than GPU, H1z1 being one of them. An i7 is obviously one of the best chips out there and will easily handle 720p/60fps broadcasting, a better graphics card will allow higher graphics settings while maintaining the frame-rate.
I'd say a minimum of 8GB of RAM, also a 960 OC is a great entry-level card however I'd recommend going for a 780 which matches your CPU performance better.
besides anti-aliasing, distance scaling etc as these interact with the CPU more
im in a similar boat, this is the graphics card I have http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-GTX780-SuperClocked-03G-P4-2784-KR/dp/B00CUIVSNS
and I overclocked it using evga precision x (http://store.steampowered.com/app/268850/). I bought mine for ~600 3 years ago and I'm gonna use it for vr and hold out until pascal comes out later this year.
Can you link me a PSU that would be good with the nividia SLI 780?
Im looking at getting this http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-GTX780-SuperClocked-03G-P4-2784-KR/dp/B00CUIVSNS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1375567353&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=nvidia+gtx+780
And I would like to get and SSD like someone reccomended.
In all honesty, I'm only saving 50 bucks if I go with the two Radeons over the single 780. So I might just spring for it
which EVGA card should I get? I was just going to go with : http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-GTX780-SuperClocked-03G-P4-2784-KR/dp/B00CUIVSNS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1383159621&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=gtx780
With one monitor I think you will be happily gaming at 60fps plus with settings maxed for quite some time.
Edit: For the same price you can get the superclocked model on amazon http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-GTX780-SuperClocked-03G-P4-2784-KR/dp/B00CUIVSNS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1373571865&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=gtx+780

Great looking build man! It seems like you are overpaying by a large amount for your 780 though, is there any reason why you are ordering it from a place that charges over $800 for it? I found the same model on Amazon for $650.

Which of these graphics cards is more powerful/better:
Gigabyte R9 280x with 3GB Ram, 1000 Mhz clock (1100 boost)
EVGA GTX770 with 2GB Ram, 1111 Mhz clock (1163 boost)
I got myself a good EVGA 770 Superclocked. She runs like a charm and will get me through the time until 2015 and the 900 series with the new architecture on it.
That would be my advise for you. Should be around £300 by now:

Thanks sounds like I should just go with EVGA. I have heard good things about them from friends as well. That being said...what is the difference between these two 770's and is it worth paying for the more expensive one?

If you want a GTX 770, I would advise you to buy one from a manufacturer who includes a great air-cooler of their own design. I suspect you aren't going to need to water-cool yours, since you haven't planned how you'll do it. My personal recommendation is the EVGA SuperClocked which provides an incredible factory overclock (so you don't have to) along with an amazing air-cooler. Their warranty is the best in the business, too.

Q: I want to upgrade my GTX 770 (http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA) for this GTX 970 (http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Quieter-Graphics-04G-P4-2974-KR/dp/B00NVODXR4)
My PC's specs:
Intel Core i7 4770
Cooler Master G650M
16GB Ram Kingston DDR3 Fury Black
Asus MB Z-97K
Will the GTX 970 works with my current setup?
Yes it will fit! But why not go for the 2gb version and save some cash like this? Or you could spend an extra 30 bucks and get a gtx 770 for higher performance boost!
Edit: Unless you have a 1440p monitor or higher, or you're gaming on multiple monitors, get the 4 gb version, otherwise just save the cash and get the 2 gb version. Hope I helped! Also this thread talks about the gtx 760 4gb version!
GTX 770 can be had here for $319

If you absolutely have to stay under 300, check out the GTX 760
I was considering a 280x, but there's a 770GTX Superclocked on a nice sale. $319.99 and another $20 off with rebate. It'll be comparable or better on most games and draw less power.
I've looked at this GTX 770: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1414080616&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=GTX+770
Why would you recommend this over the GTX 760? It has only 2GB of VRAM and the GTX 760 I listed has 4GB of VRAM. I'll only be gaming on a single 1680x1050 monitor with the intention of adding a 1080p monitor down the road. Wouldn't the higher VRAM benefit me more for games like heavily modded skyrim and shadow of mordor?
Well you're kind of as cheap as it gets in terms of what you've picked, unless he's willing to lower the specifications, I doubt you're going to get cheaper than that.
He's wanting an intel, but is he set on getting a 970? That would really be the only area to save some money, but the only way would be dropping down in cards to a Radeon 290 or an Nvidia 770.
Wouldn't recommend less than 8GB for gaming.
You also asked about making it better, the i3 may be a bit underpowered to get the full benefit out of the card, if there was money to move up to an i5 (for about $100 more) he would get more out of the 970.
so, the guy with the newborn? Or I was looking at this one
I have a EVGA SC GTX 770, runs at bit hot at full load, 86c at 65% fan speed (still quite quiet, there is no case fans in my case right now either) and like to be at between 50-65% fan speed rather than 41-65% to be as quiet as possible but runs great, i was looking for £70 with 1st class postage included in the price.
this one, not the blower one https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA
No original box, but will be well packaged.
I had this good boi (https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA) and now i have this bad boi (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/rtx-2080-ti/)
If you're still looking, I have a EVGA GTX770 SC 2GB. This one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CZIQXBA/
The GB of VRAM gives no indication of performance. There's 4GB cards out there on gtx 630s (http://www.amazon.com/Inno3D-Geforce-graphics-express-windows/dp/B006OS8UM2) That are completely trashed by 2gb cards out there (http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1376879493&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=gtx+770+2gb)
The 770 has pretty good performance for its price. I've been able to play Skyrim pretty well heavily modded on it.
I bought a EVGA GTX770 2GD5 02G-P4-2770-KR two years ago. Barely used but I can't find this product number online.
Is it comparable to this model's price? $250?

That 240 dollar card will play BF4 at 100 fps at 1080p, ultra settings, aa off.

I would go EVGA

GTX 770 is a great GPU that can max out games at 1080p and get 60FPS+. However, this GPU is aimed for gamers that want to play at a higher resolution than 1080p. But If that is the highest resolution you'll be playing, save some money and get a GTX 760. It sill retains a high fps and plays very smoothly at 1080p. EVGA GTX 770 is only $347.99 but is on sale as it was originally $419.99. You would save $73 or 17% off the original price.
According to this thread, the GTX 770 wouldn't be able to use 4GB because it's 256 bit.
You'd be better off getting a 2GB version if you want a 770 for less money.
I currently use the an EVGA GTX 770 2GB with an ACX cooler and I'm enjoying it greatly.

I think this is the one he mentioned: http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAPPHIRE-AMD-Graphics-Card-DDR5/dp/B00IRTXPBM/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1412019180&amp;sr=8-9&amp;keywords=280x
And this is the adjusted build then w/ GPU & PSU change :)
I'm just looking at the £400 UK build, and noticed that the Sapphire AMD R9 280 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAPPHIRE-AMD-Graphics-Card-DDR5/dp/B00IRTXPBM/) dropped down to £136 on amazon recently, but isn't listed on PC Partpicker. This would make it £7 less than the 760 in that build at the moment. I was wondering if there is a specific reason for choosing the 760 over the 280?
hey man, thank you AGAIN! now, last question (im preparing to order all the parts today): I found this GPU on amazon for 190€: http://www.amazon.de/SAPPHIRE-Radeon-3072MB-GDDR5-PCI-E/dp/B00IRTXPBM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1406906434&amp;sr=8-6&amp;keywords=Sapphire+Radeon+R9+280X+3GB+Dual-X+Video+Card#productDetails
but i cant figure out if it is the same one you recommended or not. Can you advise?
at that price point, I reckon AMD has it wrapped up at the moment - an R9 280 would be a solid bet (http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAPPHIRE-AMD-Graphics-Card-DDR5/dp/B00IRTXPBM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1416520562&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=r9+280)
If you want to stay on the green team, look at a GTX 760 :)
Really sorry for contualliy bugging you but if you don't mind I was looking around and basically everyone has said that the r9 280 is better gtx760. So I looked on amazon and these three One Two & Three
Would you mind explaining the differences to me?
Here's a fully Amazon build, with enough leftover for a monitor.

I'm just an amateur trying to put together a first build myself just now, so by no means do I know what I'm talking about, but the R9 280 is currently only £10 more on amazon...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAPPHIRE-AMD-Graphics-Card-DDR5/dp/B00IRTXPBM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1413125892&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=radeon+280
The XFX cards come with a lifetime warranty, and a black PCB, but it's hard to beat this price.

Thank you so much for your help you have just been great by the way in every helpful aspect!
I would say the GPU for sure. I'm from the US, so I am going to use Amazon UK for prices. I would recommend a 280 for GPU, which is 140 pounds and would be a HUGE upgrade. Not sure if your CPU will bottleneck it though.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAPPHIRE-AMD-Graphics-Card-DDR5/dp/B00IRTXPBM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1417512081&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=r9+280
I've never heard of them but Sapphire have the R9 280 for just a few quid more than that.
The only thing is is that my PSU is only 430w (Corsair CX 430) and the minimum PSU wattage for that card is 500 :/
Hah, every time I think I'm getting close to finalising my build someone piques my interest with something cool sounding.
Here's the motherboard I was originally looking at. This guy
And here's one that'd let me eventually add another graphics card in crossfire. That guy
But it's twice as much and I probably wouldn't be able to afford the other card for the foreseeable future...
D'you reckon it's worth it if i start with one R9 280 and the better motherboard and upgrade it later down the line?
Will this future proof it to an extent or would I just be wasting my money?
Cheers!
Hey, I have one more question :P, is there a difference other than the manufacturer with the card you suggested and this Sapphire model and if so, which one should i get? thanks again :P
http://www.amazon.fr/Sapphire-11230-00-20G-Graphique-Radeon-PCI-Express/dp/B00IRTXPBM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1417877585&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=r9+280
An r9 280 is faster and cheape than a 760
Is there any reason for this R9 280 being about £10 cheaper than any other 280 on pcpartpicker? That one also doesn't show up on pcpartpicker, and I thought that Sapphire was one of the better brands for AMD cards? Forgive me if that's wrong though!
Also, what kind of performance can I expect from a 280, and how long is it going to be able to keep up with newer games at high settings?
Its only an extra £10 to get a R9 280 instead, and its still in the £150 budget
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAPPHIRE-AMD-Graphics-Card-DDR5/dp/B00IRTXPBM/ref=sr_1_7?s=computers&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1422435794&amp;sr=1-7&amp;keywords=r9+290
£140 new.
Considering that Maxwell is still on 28nm and yields are fantastic at this point, nVidia's price per mm^2 of die is really just gouging at this point
I'm not overly concerned about rendering speed, since it isn't too important to me, but I'll have a look at the 860k. Was this the GPU that you were referring to?
Storage wise, I have only used up 118GB in 3 years on my laptop (then again, I only installed a few games on it). I was thinking that I should get an SSD first and add a HDD later if I needed additional storage space. I suppose that due to this I could drop down to a 128GB SSD, such as the Crucial MX100 128GB and also get a Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM.
What is the difference between:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAPPHIRE-AMD-Graphics-Card-DDR5/dp/B00IRTXPBM/ref=cm_cd_ql_qh_dp_t
and
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IYD0HYO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&amp;colid=2UN3NAZJYU382&amp;coliid=I1FJML7LLA2TRV
Unfortunately, I can't get one of those :P ! See the thing is, If i was gonna spend £230 on a graphics card, I'd probably go for a 970 just cause it beats 290 and is near silent. Also, you're comparing the cheapest 290 to the most expensive 280 if you compare the cheapest 280 for £132 and the cheapest 290 for £230 then theres quite the price difference.
I'm from Spain.

Was going to say, there's an offer at the moment for an Sapphire R9 280 for just £140 on Amazon, apparently dispatch is quicker than they quote.
This one, that's quite actually pretty nice deal.
Was that the fairly cheap one on amazon? I'm planning to get it soon, how is it?
It really is a rabbit hole :D
Hm, didn't know that. However, doesn't Kodi support pretty much all the common formats? Could I not use one of those cheap servers for a theoretical double 4K stream? All possible end devices should be able to keep up (My gaming monster, and two macbooks, both more recent than 2017).
I've just remembered I might have some old hardware lying around in Spain: i3-4160, a R9 280, a 500W PSU, and a MSI Motherboard - Not sure how well they are doing, haven't been down there in 15 months, and I wouldn't know how to get them up here...
Open your case in your personal computer and tell me what name your psu have (u can't check this with cpu-z sorry).There are really big chances that you have to change your psu too.
i recommend this parts(but u propably need cash for new psu):
i5 2500k

Owner of a Gigabyte mini 4GB GTX 970
(This one : https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-GDDR5-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0 )
100% hate it, cannot run with stock cooler - have it running with a custom water cooling loop to keep it upright...
you're better off with the FE cards than this thing for cooling.
No, it will NOT fit a Titan or any other full length GPU
Max GPU length is 185mm
A Titan X is 267mm
So is a 980 Ti
So is a 980
So is a 970
You can fit a Fury Nano or a Gigabyte 970 GTX mini itx or the Asus DCMOC
See I google that card and find $500 cards, But on the GeForce site they have multiple 970's listed for under $400 Some as low as $310 (Probably USD tho)
Edit: Around $400 Aud http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OQUMGM0/ref=asc_df_B00OQUMGM04210157?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;tag=52378_iceleadscom-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;creative=395093&amp;creativeASIN=B00OQUMGM0&amp;ascsubtag=s14583668910749vj8a52378
I'm interested in the recently announced ASUS GeForce GTX 970 DC Mini.
Anyone have more information on the card, particularly pricepoint?
I'm curious how it would compare against the Gigabyte GTX970 Mini ITX
Since you want it portable I'd say lighter is better. The h55 can cool that CPU well for a cut in weight and this might be beneficial too based on movement http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-Graphics-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0
for your GPU, the Gigabyte 970 is your best bet, for power supplies, go EVGA supernova
http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-Graphics-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0
Why not this?
how much can you afford? there are 760itx cards and 285itx from sapphire. Also if you can afford it, the 970itx from gigabyte
I've never seen the insides of an x51 case but I just looked up a video on it and looks like either one of these would fit in the case (I think you can fit something a little bigger but just to be safe i would recommend these two) http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-Graphics-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1417752279&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=gtx+970+mini or http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NPCE54C/ref=psdc_284822_t2_B00OQUMGM0
There is a mini-itx version of the GTX 970.
Will your graphics card fit in a mini-ITX case? I had to get this tiny gtx970 for my htpc build.
jesus fcking christ that's some extreme small build, it looks amazing. Can I ask why didn't you go for the mini ITX GTX 970 since you can't fit a blower type in there anyway?
In my case this is my first build so, think I'll go with a case a bit more spacious and easier to manage like the fractal node 804 for example.
Thinnest would be Intel Integrated, but I know that isn't what you're looking for.
There's this Gigabyte GTX 970 which I believe is just one slot.Edit: I'm wrong.
What sizes can you fit? The minimum gtx970 does exist like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-GDDR5-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1422083250&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=gtx+970+mini
If you're spending $1000, buy this desktop:
http://www.amazon.com/M32CD-Desktop-Windows-Keyboard-Mouse/dp/B014QVM2KO/ref=zg_bs_565098_1
And replace the power supply with this one:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EON40CS/?tag=pcpapi-20
And add this video card to it:
http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-GDDR5-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0/
This PC will be heads and tails better than any $100 iBuyPower machine you buy.
There is one possible problems other than the PSU. I found this picture of the inside of your computer. It looks like the drive bays at the bottom are going to block a normal length video card (ths pcie video card slot is below the fan). However, it also looks like you may be able to unscrew them from the case and move them higher (or maybe just remove one completely) so that the video card is not blocked. Alternatively you could get a short video card made for smaller itx cases.
I've heard good things about this if you have to swap out the GPU:
http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-GDDR5-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0/ref=sr_1_12?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1422462943&amp;sr=1-12&amp;keywords=gtx+970
Might be able to for one of these http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-Graphics-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0
Nope, its actually Gigabyte. I bought it for my brother but he ended up getting a better rig from a family member.
Here is the model: https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-GDDR5-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0
Just bought one of these from Amazon Warehouse Deals for 287$
If nobody is selling here I recommend that
You can get an used 970 (if you don't mind about used parts) for 267 and a new 240gb ssd for 76.50
I would upgrade those and when I have more money, get a 5670k(?) (if it get to exist)
Cheaper EVGA version of the 1080: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-08G-P4-6183-KR/dp/B01GAI6478/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1485324103&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=evga+gtx+1080

Is my build ready for an EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING ACX 3.0, 8GB GDDR5X, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card 08G-P4-6183-KR?
Anyone have any opinions on the other vartiations of the 1080? Anything worth the extra bucks?
I also plan on getting an SSD.

> how long is it taking for non-founders edition 1080s to get in stock?
Nobody knows. Which is why I included at least one that's... still a blower-style fan, but at least $30 cheaper.
Mind you, pcpartpicker rarely has up-to-date information on stock. There's other sites for that, or you can just look through amazon by yourself. There's a few in stock right now. Clicky

How do you account for Amazon filtering out some bogus reviews? Occasionally some things get negative votes even though the vote is not related to the product. For example:
This GTX 1080 has a 4.5 star rating, despite 50% of the reviews being 1 star
How do you account for the other bias in that people tend to review products either when they are good or bad (the 1 star vs 5 star bias, with 2-4 being less common)?
What are the odds that the selection bias exists largely because people receive products that they would normally like anyway and do you account for this?
I have no doubt that some reviews are absolutely biased, but I am not so sure that they are "extremely biased"
Wooooah, you can buy a 1080 for almost half that much (even converting USD-AUD)! https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-08G-P4-6183-KR/dp/B01GAI6478/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1474571696&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=gtx+1080
Also a lot of games don't support SLI (it's probably more accurate to say that a very few selected titles do support it) so adding a second card is a possibly ineffective move.
I'm currently torn between the EVGA 1070ti and the EVGA 1080. Is the performance upgrade of about 100 MHz worth $100?
I did manual searching through amazon and found a $640 EVGA GTX 1080 new but, I would still recommend a 2070 super or 2080 since they are roughly the same price for better performance.
Still overpriced for a 1070 in AUD. You could easily spend another 100 and get a 1080. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-08G-P4-6183-KR/dp/B01GAI6478/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1499428481&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=gtx+1080

I'm missing nothing. Actual measured from the wall consumption is HIGHER than TDP for AMD. The video showed 455W for the delta over idle. Some of that could be CPU - maybe 50~65W or so, but most would be the GPU.
To be a valid product it needs to be competitive in its market. Vega FE, against Titan Xp, has a niche where it is competitive - even at $1,000. That same level of performance, however, as a gaming card, can be had for $540 on Amazon with a consumption of ~200W or less.
RX Vega needs a 20% boost in performance or better WITHOUT using more power to be viable at the same price. Otherwise it will need to be considerably cheaper than the GTX 1080.
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-08G-P4-6183-KR/dp/B01GAI6478
In the picture looking directly at the card itself, There are these two black parallelograms (not sure what they are) on the top and bottom left of the card by the video port side with some screws by it. That's where I found the plastic covering, and not sure if it's important to take it off or not.
It doesn't really matter but this one should be just fine. You can find cheaper ones on newegg but I didn't know I fyou wanted to buy from there. Here's one
Arre bhai, use the Amazon global store. Less than 40k delivered http://www.amazon.in/EVGA-GeForce-Founders-Graphics-08G-P4-6180-KR/dp/B01GAI6478/
Looking to play Destiny 2 and PUBG, going to buy a 144hz monitor with this video card, currently have 8GB RAM and an i5 I believe. My friend built the pc several years back and said everything else would be fine once I upgrade the video card and monitor...
I guess I can be patient and wait the 1-3 weeks for the EVGA: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-08G-P4-6183-KR/dp/B01GAI6478
Thanks for the reply!
I read some threads comparing the 1600 to the 7600k and I think I agree on the 1600 being a good choice. Looks like the Ryzen platform will be strong for the future and the 6 cores may prove to be a bonus as games start being designed to use more of them.
If you're able to, can you ELI5 the difference between those two motherboards? The one you suggested has better reviews and is 40% cheaper. Mobos are like black boxes to me so I'm just trying to gain a better understanding here.
That GPU looks pretty good but it seems some people have had issues with it. What are your thoughts on something like this? My current GPU is an EVGA 750 ti which has served me well -- starting to show its age, but I bought it a few years ago as a value card anyway.
Side note: I didn't realize until just now that for being 7 years old, the CPU in my current PC is pretty darn good -- i7-860 @ 3.2 GHz. I guess it figures, since my sysadmin brother configured it for me. Could probably sell it and the 750 ti for a decent return.

I'd like to petition for a new GPU. This GTX 1080 should do nicely. $644.99 with free shipping if you have Amazon Prime ;) Thanks and good luck with your future stock purchases!
Just bought a 4K TV, GTX 970 can't handle all games in 4K. Decided to return it for refund (is the deal still on the table?) and upgrade to a GTX 1080.
Anyway, when is the perfect time to return so that I can have money by Cyber Monday or Black Friday? Also, do I have to adjust my PC to a certain setting to use the integrated Intel graphic card?
Also, what is the difference between the gajillion types of GTX 1080s? eg this¹, this², and this³.
Finally, is Zotac good? Or is it better to spend a bit more for the more popular brands? Good?. What about this?
Edit: Here's my build. Is there any particular GPU you can recommend based on it? Any notes on the upgrade?

Yeah I play sc2 again recently.
Good, I ended up picking https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GAI6478/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
:)
Here is a SC one I found on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GAI6478/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1467313295&amp;sr=1-11&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;keywords=gtx+1080
The reason you can't find them tho is because almost all of the SC and FTW edition cards are sold out. Which is also why the price for that one above is really high.
Here’s a cheaper 1080 but you can still get them way lower than this. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01GAI6478/?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;tag=zoolertcom-20
So like this?
Amazon 1080
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GAI6478?me=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;ref_=mw_olp_product_details
This one is $530 and a better card imo
Edit: just noticed mega slow shipping though
Here's another EVGA card for $540, maybe faster shipping
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qkJkcf/evga-geforce-gtx-1080-8gb-ftw-dt-gaming-video-card-08g-p4-6284-kr
I found a EVGA 1080 Superclocked for $583 used on Amazon just this week. Now the cheapest is $596
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01GAI6478/ref=sr_1_1_olp?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479704055&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=evga+1080+sc&amp;condition=used
Don't forget that used exists and EVGA (or your vendor of choice) should still support their card if it's a dud. This card has been great so far and the last one (XFX Radeon R9 280X w/3 GB RAM) for about $100 off and it's still going strong.
Just an update for all those that helped me out.
Couldn't get a used version of the card, as hoped.
Gave into temptation and purchased the Zotac GTX 1080 AMP Extreme.
Its should be arriving tomorrow, before 1pm.
The only issue is, everyone who ordered before me, are now complaining that they've received the wrong version of the card.
I've contacted amazon, via live chat to make sure it doesn't happen to me.
I'm a little scared, that I'll receive the wrong version of the card as well.
Because the Title says Zotac GTX 1080 AMP Extreme and in the description it says "Box Contains 1 x Zotac GeForce GTX 1080 AMP Extreme Graphics Card"
But all the images are of the Zotac GTX 1080 AMP Edition
So what should I do, just return it if it's the wrong card? or just keep it?
I paid £609.98, I could of just got a palit jet-stream version of the card for £520.
Here's the link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zotac-ZT-P10800C-10P-GeForce-Extreme-Graphics/dp/B01GCAVRSU/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 to what i ordered
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Side note: Was just made aware that there's a promotion with the gtx 1070 and 1080, to get a free copy of gears of war 4.
Amazon told me. there's no such promotion, even though i saw them doing it two or 3 days ago.
So I contacted Zotac and they told me, because the promotion is so new amazon has been sending the codes out 3 or 5 says late, separately and I should wait for the email, if I still don't get it after 5 days, contact Zotac again.
I really appreciate any input, as to what to do in both situation.
Should i return it, if its wrong or keep it?
Should i just buy the game myself or keep pestering them, if i can get it for free?
Hey everyone! Putting together a build at the moment. I think I'm going to splurge and get a 1080, but there are so many and I have no idea which one to get. I found a ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 AMP! Edition for $530, EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW2 for $530, and a MSI GeForce GTX 1080 for $550. Can anyone reccomend one of these cards?
Also I'm planning on paring it with a R5 1600, is this card overkill for the processor? I have a 144hz 1440p monitor.
Thank You!
Try to avoid the blower style coolers, they aren't really optimal in most cases. Look for the internal exhaust ones.
Since those cards are all pretty similar, I'd go for the cheapest with an internal exhaust cooler, which is this zotac one
Thanks! Quick question about the 1060 v 1080 -- I'm looking for a bit of longevity with my gpu and would like to be able to still play games like Witcher 3 at high settings 3-5 years from. Would the 1060 still be able to do that or will both cards be able to do that? I saw a deal on amazon for a [1080] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GCAVRSU/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&amp;me=ATVPDKIKX0DER) that's not too bad and would be fine with the additional $200 if it's worth it.
MSRP doesn't mean much, especially not year(s) after a product was released, but here is:
GTX 1080 Zotac AMP! Edition - $570
https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-ZT-P10800C-10P-IceStorm-Wraparound-Ultra-wide/dp/B01GCAVRSU/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1500532923&amp;sr=1-7&amp;keywords=GTX+1080
Sapphire R9 Fury - USED(!!) $628
https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-TRIPLE-PCI-Express-Graphics/dp/B011D7A526
Cant really find much more as GPU prices are still going higher, than usual "thanks" to mining, should be back to normal in a few weeks, maybe few days in some stores.
Considering you can get an aftermarket one like [This] (https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-ZT-P10800C-10P-Wraparound-Ultra-wide-PowerBoost/dp/B01GCAVRSU/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1486331585&amp;sr=1-4&amp;keywords=1080) for a little more and also considering FE's dont have great cooling no. just get the one i linked :) Ive heard alot of shit things about FE gpus
the zotac? https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-ZT-P10800C-10P-IceStorm-Wraparound-Ultra-wide/dp/B01GCAVRSU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1540477442&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=zotac+1080ti

this one is slightly more expensive, but better. offers 5 years warranty if you register you gpu after the purchase at zotac!
Can you order one from denmark? I searched for amazon denmark (which i am not sure if it exists or if this is the right site. I think it is Germany not sure. Maybe shipping is not too bad.) https://www.amazon.de/ZT-P10800C-10P-GeForce-GDDR5X-Gaming-Grafikkarte/dp/B01GCAVRSU/ref=sr_1_4?s=computers&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1502188415&amp;sr=1-4&amp;keywords=1080+ti
So you don't have €602.99 for a Geforce GTX 1080?
https://www.amazon.it/dp/B01GCAVRSU/?tag=pcp06-21
At a glance, the cheapest 1080 I found right now was $570. Could probably fit it in a $1000 build if you cheaped out on some other stuff.

How about the ZOTAC GTX 1080 Amp edition? Someone here said it supposedly releases on the 17th. I placed a preorder after being sick and tired of the 30-second newegg sales that always resulted for a 404 error or "removed from cart". I'm hoping this ships out soon. Clock speeds are only around 38MHz lower than the 1080 FTW, but this has RGB LEDs and dual 8-pins, meaning custom PCB.
Is there any reason I shouldn't buy a ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 AMP! Edition?
Upgrading from GTX 780.

How does this compare to ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 AMP! Edition, ZT-P10800C-10P? Got that one for $569.99 last week so I can still return if I wanted to.
i was reading this review on amazon(http://amzn.to/2hqCBbH) and someone tried to sli two zotac amp extremes but got high temps like 80 at 60% load with the zotac 1080 amp extreme (the one im getting is a 1080 amp edition which is smaller. SO she got a a pci-e extender and that fixed it. also her cards barely fit, im not sure how im going to do it with my mobo, btw she had a x99 sabertooth.

So I see that the deal is literally the same.
Buy a ryzen CPU and motherboard. Also drop the RGB ram for a cheaper set. Also, I suggest you get this Vega 56.

The sapphire one is better and cheaper

Depends. For $300 or less, if you can get a Sapphire pulse/some other GOOD aib model and if you're willing to spend around 10 minutes undervolting then that's pretty Good. Here's a Pulse Vega 56 for $310 https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B07BGZNTQJ/ref=mw_dp_olp?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=new
Although if you're not comfortable tweaking, which is completely understandable, then just wait for an aib rx 5700.
The pulse from amazon is probably a better deal if you can get it when it goes on stock.

It is out of stock on Amazon though. So you need to look elsewhere. But trust me - you don't want that shitbox of and reference design
Nope, this one. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-Radeon-Triple-Backplate-Graphics/dp/B07WC7683C/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=pulse+5700+xt&amp;qid=1566756381&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=pulse+5700&amp;sr=8-1
I didn't say Pulse, I should've specified.
when you say sapphire are you talking about this one or about this one. Because i am also on the verge of ordering the first one but i am not sure if that is part of the reference models or not.
Looks like a decent build. I have a few suggestions though.

You could change 1000$ build to this one. You can also change mobo to other one.

It says "Temporarily out of stock". I'm assuming they'll be available for purchase soon. GamersNexus did a review of this specific model, looks like it's a pretty good one. The price is also close to MSRP (a bit higher)
Sapphire Radeon Pulse RX 5700 Xt 8GB GDDR6 HDMI/ Triple DP OC w/ Backplate (UEFI) PCIe 4.0 Graphics Card https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WC7683C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mTevDb5SDZGMY
I recommend the 5700 navi gpu. It should get you some decent performance and you will get even more once you decide to upgrade your cpu and mobo. Flat out price to performance an AIB radeon 5700 is 300 bucks and would be perfect. or you could get the 5700 xt because im seeing that alot of the 5700 cards are like 460 and for like 50 more bucks you can get the xt version that will get you some more performance. unless you want to go with the blower style cards.https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-Triple-Backplate-Graphics/dp/B07WC7683C/ref=sr_1_24?keywords=5700&qid=1566002113&s=gateway&sr=8-24
419+tax (~448 total), for some reason the listing is $10 above Sapphire’s MSRP: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WC7683C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_IVNwDbEWAZC3Z
Might consider an AMD 5700 XT at that price point, unless you specifically want Ray Tracing capability. Looks pretty good though. I own the 3600X, VERY happy with it!
Aftermarket models are cards made by board partners that use the same chipset. Overall, these cards usually have additional features on them like better cooling, overclocking and being quieter.
For example:
Sapphire Pulse 5700XT
Reference 5700XT from Sapphire
The one that has one fan and looks like a block is the reference card.

Ok so that 2070 is waaaay overpriced seeing that i would think the same thing because the 2070 super is around that price range and better. As well as that 2070 not being new.
This is the one I would recommend for the 2070

If you decide that gaming performance is more important, than these are the rx 5700xt I recommend

Edit: replied to the wrong comment :\^)
I recommend the Sapphire Pulse or the Nitro+ version of the 5700xt. Sapphire makes the best AMD GPUs so. Here's the link to the Pulse version: https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-Triple-Backplate-Graphics/dp/B07WC7683C
This is probably more monitor than this system needs. Do you need an IPS monitor?
What about a FreeSync VA panel like the AOC Agon AG273QCX. It seems to come in and out of stock, but is usually $299. Then you could go with a 5700 xt like the the Sapphire Pulse or Nitro+ which would be a step up from the 2060 Super but only cost a little bit more.
If you cut back on the monitor a little, you could move up a notch on the quality of the memory, storage, and power supply.
Individual pages on Amazon say they do!
E: Actually varies card-by-card... this does while this doesn't.
Seems to be limited to reference models
I found this Sapphire Radeon Pulse RX 5700 XT on Amazon. I was about to purchase but it says "usually ships within 1 to 2 months."
I am holding off now, but does anybody have any experience with Amazon when it says this? I don't want to pay now and then wait 1 to 2 months.
The only reason I went to amazon was it is sold out on Newegg.
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WC7683C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;psc=1
You can also order the Pulse on Amazon but they listed it as temporarily out of stock as soon as they put it up and they added $10 to the MSRP for no apparent reason

You can buy a 1080 from amazon for as much as you are paying for that 1070.

for 20 more usd, you can get an overclockable 1080. the gigabyte link prob offeres better overclocking
Seems almost scam level compared to this:

Yes, that build give you more for a slight savings. It does have a very high performing GTX 1080.
https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-GV-N1080G1-GAMING-8GD-Graphics/dp/B01GJEE9BG/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1480093185&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=gtx+1080
Will be a RCH slower and allow you to get a 6700k while not adjusting the price.
You could also go the GTX 1070 route and save $250 more and still be better off than the RX 480.
Air cooling will also save some cash if you don't plan on overclocking much. At any rate I feel like pricing out "enthusiast" builds on pcpartpicker puts you in a much better position.
Wow, thank you OP. I would like to have this, please: https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-GV-N1080G1-GAMING-8GD-Graphics/dp/B01GJEE9BG/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1478292435&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=gtx+1080
Yeah, and the G1 is $620 on amazon and has been $580 which is a pretty good buy.
I don't know of anyone who would recommend the Zotac AMP even for it's price.
Anyways you were comparing more expensive 1080 models which really aren't worth the extra cost when almost all 1080 Pascal chips can hit >2Ghz (the G1 can hit over 2Ghz even on a single 8-pin power connector). The MSI Gaming models were notoriously overpriced at some point but have come down a bit but it should be pointed out that the Armor edition (that's comparable in price the G1 on that note) shares the same PCB as the Gaming models. The Strix has been priced high for long enough but it's nice to see those come down a bit. Let's not even mention the FTW cards.
Is this cheaper than Amazon Rn? https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-GV-N1080G1-GAMING-8GD-Graphics/dp/B01GJEE9BG
I used a 28degrees card so I can't say for sure. In the end I paid $680 aud including shipping.
What determines a good GPU? Looking at a bunch of GTX 1080 options out there and I found what I think to be a good card for a reasonable price. Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 Gaming for $519. Seems like a good enough card from what I find on it.
Is there one you would recommend? Going on amazon I find ones from:

Gigabyte-https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-GV-N1080G1-GAMING-8GD-Graphics/dp/B01GJEE9BG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1482899204&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=gtx+108
and MSI-https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-1080-GAMING-3DisplayPort/dp/B01GLYD7MG/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1482899276&amp;sr=1-6&amp;keywords=gtx+1080.
Should I just go for the cheapest? (Gigabyte)
It's around a 25% performance gain, so that depends on what you're doing. In my mind, yes.
Also, this one here has a rather good cooler and is actually cheaper than the equivalent 1070.
Sorry I forgot to post a link.

Can an Asus motherboard with Aura Sync control the lighting for a Gigabyte graphics card?

https://www.amazon.ca/Gigabyte-GeForce-GV-N1080G1-GAMING-8GD-Graphics/dp/B01GJEE9BG/
I agree. I would hardly call this a deal.
I think this is a poor deal, but $30 cheaper.
How does it compare to this one and this one?
>This is kinda' why the differences between all of the overclocks put on GPU's from the various vendors (e.g. MSI, Asus, etc) shouldn't be a priority, as - at most - the difference will be negligible/1-2 fps gains.
So, if one were looking at a GTX 1080, would you argue just getting the cheapest one you could find? The cheapest price I can see for the GTX 1080 is $594.99. I'm struggling to determine what I should prioritize. Core speed? Boost speed? Fan/cooling quality? Manufacturer reputation? (I only ask this because the one-star reviews in my link don't seem to like the Gigabyte company.) Decent warranty? People seem to say that fan/cooler quality matters, but it's unclear to me how to figure that out quantitatively. Do the water cooling and clock speed increases of the $769.99 version justify a $175 price difference?
Edit: Forgot to mention that this is in USD.
Ok I've read through the tomshardware on how to buildapc. To be honest there was a lot of terms I didn't understand so it was a bit overwhelming for me but I tried my best. I learn better with the actual parts in front of me rather than just seeing the word or picture.
There were a few questions I noted down as I looked at the parts that I hope you could answer.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GJEE9BG/?tag=pcpapi-20&amp;th=1
Sorry for bombarding you with all my silly questions. I appreciate all of your help. Still deciding which build to go with because I like both. I like the ryzen 7 because it's different and because all of my friends keep saying intel is better so it makes me want to get something different but not sure yet. Do you think both builds are good for current games and possibly new games?
It shows up even before U6, after 5.1. hoping kospy can shed some light. for what its worth, heres my exact card: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GJEE9BG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

Just found that by fast googling. Decent AIB.
But living in Europe. Can get one for 600€ which includes 20% VAT so it's basically $500 plus taxes.
If Vega becomes a competitor Nvidia will lower prices I am sure. But it seems like that a 1080ti is a better investment. Not as hardly hit by miners and 30% faster.
I checked some customer reviews at Amazon, showed many complaints about fan defects, noise specifically, some other sites said overheating problems.

If you want some 1440p action you need a GTX 1070 my friend, and those cost a little more than 50$.

First PC buyer here:
Trying to decide between this card, and other 1070s and I know little to nothing about the manufacturers. How well does this stack up to these cards:
MSI GAMING GeForce GTX 1070 8GB for $429.99
EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING for $407.99
Any help much appreciated.

EVGA, MSI, and Gigabyte are brands I recommend. If you want the fastest these are available:
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 8GB G1
EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB SC Gaming ACX 3.0
Actually here's what you want:
EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0
Haha thanks for clearing that up.
My friend is willing to sell me this one brand new for a cheaper price since he didn't get me anything for my birthday lol
Is it better than the first evga I already bought? Because I could still cancel it but it depends on how they fair.

Amazon has EVGA 1070's SC in stock at the $440 price that is normal for EVGA SC. GL.
EDIT:
NEWEGG also has MSI/ASUS in stock:

Okay, I do not care about 4k, because I can not understand how people can play games with less than 60 fps.
Just my recommendation.

Why is there so many choices with the gtx1070, even within a single brand? Is there even a preferred option or all they all practically the same and go with the cheapest? (ex: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-08G-P4-6173-KR/dp/B01GX5YWAO/)
I'm looking at this and I see what looks like a dual link DVI port on the side view image of the card, is there a difference between a normal DVI port and a dual link DVI, or is it just the same port and the cable is different?
Wait a bit, and look around. Saw an evga 1070 sc for. $500, I grabbed one for $510 because the $500 one went back up to $550. I think last I saw it was $540

This is my current set up
My current GPU is an AMD Radeon R9 200 and lately it has been running really hot so I am looking to replace it with something that will last a few years.
This is the one I am currently looking into based on PCPart Picker
Based on my set up, is this the best value I can get for the money? Also, do I need to look into better cooling if I add this to my set up?
Thanks for your help! You guys are always great
Change out the founders edition of the card for an EVGA or something. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GX5YWAO/?tag=extension-kb-20
Clocks are factory set at higher/stabler speeds and have better cooling. Also cheaper than the one you listed ;P
EVGA G2 PSU is like $5 more than the NEX and a better version of it.
The Aorus Gaming K7 on Newegg comes with that wifi/bluetooth adapter for free and comes with a bit more.
Steer away from seagate HDDs as they tend to have a higher failure rate than others.

That's a pretty good price for a 1070 today. Unless you really only care about a specific look that is.
I am amazed that they are selling that 970 for almost the same price of a 1070.

This is the one. Sorry for long link.
Besides the color scheme, is there any difference between this EVGA 1070 and this 1070? How come one is a bit cheaper?
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-08G-P4-6173-KR/dp/B01GX5YWAO
Yes, it is (my current card).
If my CPU is bottlenecking my card at 1080p, won't it become even more of a bottleneck once I step up to 1440p/144 hz?
I've been stalking the market since mid June for a 1070. Truth be told I probably should have waited for a 1060 but I'm okay with my purchase. I got the EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 back when it was in stock for amazon price of $430. I really wanted the RGB FTW edition to match a color scheme but I'm okay with this since its a crap shoot trying to find in stock store ones besides the scalpers. Just waiting for the delivery now.

Hey mate, something like this could work: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/ByfcxY
You can obviously switch out the i5 for an i7 6700k if you wanted something more heavy duty.
That Noctua cooler runs super quiet. However, if you're planning to overclock it might be worthwhile going to an AIO watercooler for the CPU.
The memory is nice and low profile and will work with that Noctua cooler.
As for 1070s, you'll probably want something with a blower or a hybrid. The EVGA 1070 FE is currently cheap over on PLE.
If you're looking at hybrids, the two current options for 1070s are the EVGA hybrid and the MSI hybrid. I've got 0 experience with either of these cards, or with AIO graphics card watercooling in general so I won't comment beyond that.
And a bonus Aussie tip: EVGA 1070s are currently pretty cheap on Amazon (573 AUD shipped for the 1070 SC) and you can still register the card in Australia to get your full manufacturer's warranty from EVGA. I've not personally done this myself before, and whether or not losing out on Australian consumer law against the retailer is worth it is a choice you'll have to make.
However, the Founder's Edition isn't very cheap on Amazon (about the same as PLE currently) so it'll come down to whether or not you're happy with higher temps overall since I don't think that open air cooler will perform as well as a founder's edition/blower style card would in this case.
