The 3600x looks like a $600 upgrade with mobo and ram. Been holding out with two OCed 2500Ks... Damn!

Locust on Inno3d GeForce RTX 2080 Ti X2 OC 11GB Video Card $1349 + Delivery @ Mwave

Yeah I get that but money needs to be no object. If you want it and it's not a big expense for you, great! But that's the cost of a flight…

I can't downvote a good deal like this but there are zero 2000 series cards worth buying. I picked up a second hand 1070 for $350 with 2…

adamiscoolization on Purchase an AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 2000-Series Processor at Participating Retailers & Redeem a Copy of The Division 2 @ AMD

Nice. I'd be leaning towards the 1700 for an extra 10 or 20 bucks but that's a sweet deal on something that can be a main box now and a…

I blame reddit for this kind of humour. Damn you reddit! And you too, Iforgotmysocks!

Yep, this is a big price drop but the 1700 has been the one to buy for ages. These AMDs are not the best for gaming FPS, so they compete as…

60 is fine... Takes a lot of grunt to drive 4k at more than that!

It does. Recently bought curved 27. Monitors are the best use of curved screens imo. You sit at a set distance, in the middle. They're a…

This looks good. I'm more likely to buy secondhand with a 1070 or higher for longer lifespan and vr but this looks like a decent offer.…

It will be fine mate. Not as zippy as paying for the mid and upper tier gear but more than useful.

Major Mess on Gigabyte RTX2080Ti 11GB WINDFORCE OC PCIe Video Card - $1699.15 + Plus Delivery (Free with eBay Plus) @ Computer Alliance eBay

Sales have plummeted because they're thinking just like you mate. It's more than the cost of a whole system. Market economics have limits…

Indeed, but like Amazon they're trying hard with that. I support my local but for the big stuff and the system builds its much cheaper to…

These have been around 250 to 270 for a while and are the best deal in brand new graphics imo. Good for 1080 gaming right now and then…

Yep, Apple had improved but the US companies are generally poor. Amazon is a highlight, but hp has had a bad reputation for decades, plus…

Nah. This is silly money. $1000 for s GPU? No wonder their sales have plummeted. Phones and pc's have risen in price while the performance…

A good price but a strange product. 4k needs a very expensive card to drive it but 27 inches isn't big enough for 4k to be useful. I run a…

The dream is something VR capable but for sensible money you have to buy from the U.S... So much cheaper via new egg etc.
