CPU
>R3 2200G/i3 8100 - Bare minimum gaming, R3 has an iGPU that allows light gaming
>R5 2400G - Consider IF on sale
>i5 8400 - Great gaming value, loses to 2600 in multithreaded applications
>R5 2600/X - Good gaming & multithreaded work use CPUs
>8700k - The best for 1080p gaming/good for mixed usage
>R7 2700/X - Good high-end gaming/best mixed usage on a non-HEDT platform
>Threadripper/Used Xeon - HEDT

RAM
>8GB - Enough for most gaming use
>16GB - Standard for heavy use
>32GB - If you have to ask, you don't need this
>CPUs benefit from fast RAM; 2933MHz+ is ideal

Graphics cards
>Vega is a meme, period
>Avoid cheap models ie MSI Armor (Mk2 is ok), Gigabyte G1/Wf, ASUS duals, and others which have small heatsinks and low quality fans
>Below applies for high/ultra quality settings in AAA games. Take this with a grain of salt.
1080p
>RX 570/580 /w Freesync or 1060 6GB are standard 1080p 60fps+ options
>1050Ti or RX560 for lower settings, or older games
>GTX 1070Ti if seeking higher FPS /w a high hz monitor
1440p
>1070/Ti at 60hz
>GTX 1080Ti if seeking higher FPS /w a high hz monitor
4K
>GTX 1080/Ti for 60hz, maybe 2080Ti if you like throwing money

Storage
>Backup before using StoreMi
>Consider getting a larger SSD (better GB/$) instead of small SSD & large HDD
>2TB HDDs are barely more $ than 1TB
>M.2 is a form factor, NOT a performance standard

Display
>Consider 75hz minimum
>Always consider FreeSync with AMD cards
>___sync is important for slower response time monitors (IPS)
>PLAN YOUR BUILD AROUND YOUR MONITOR IF GAMING

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"?

I feel like a bit of a fool.

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.
