So is cega officially a meme? Does that mean i should just get a 1080ti

vega barely competes with 1080, 1080ti is way better.

Can someone suggest a pc in a mini case approximately the ps3/4 fat size with 1080 and for around 1500$? I am not sure how to be 100% sure the parts will fit? Do I need an "ITX" motherboard? Do I need the GPU to be "mini"?
Nah sweetie I'm good. Let's just wait a bit, shall we ? This is gonna be so much fun seeing you cry >muh Vega, muh meme ! Here's your (You) for your trouble, shill
Im putting together a new pc for gayming. Went with the ryzen 2600x, very happy with my purchase on everything EXCEPT for the graphics card.
I splurged a bit and went with a 1070ti. Here in aus the best i could find was $600 on ebay. Now while i know ill be very pleased with how it performs, i think iv just gone overboard. A 1060 6gb would have prob been fine for moderate gaming. Now i do have a 1440p 60hz capable monitor, and i know a 1070ti would make better use out of it, but for an extra $200 i dunno if it was worth or not.
How do you guys deal with buyers remorse? I tell myself that it will last me a good deal longer than a 1060 would, but just the idea of something so expensive sitting on my desk that needs to be used a lot to get value out of it... kind of puts me off.
