So I am thinking about picking up a gayming PC from a friend of mine...I'm relatively new to the scene and was wondering if the price is too much for what I am getting:
>i7-6700
>1070ti Founders
>24GB DDR4 2133
>128 GB SSD + 2TB HDD
Comes in a Cougar gayming case with some RGB lights and shit. Guy is asking $900 for it, what do you ni/g/gers think?
pretty reasonable deal
You could build something new and better with that amount.
Too expensive.
Any recommendations then? What could I get that would be better for gayming at $900?
maybe just buy some parts from him for cheap and use the rest of your money to buy other better parts.
real mans used PC reporting in
He's memeing you, $900 for that build is pretty good. The only thing I'd say needs upgrading is the SSD since you can get a bigger one for dirt cheap these days.
Thanqs
I'm actually kind of expecting GPU prices to go back up once the buzz from gay tracing dies off... They just aren't good bang for buck
> used i7 6700 ~ $200
> used 1070ti founders ~ $250
> used 16gb DDR4 2133 ~ $80 (I hope that extra 8gb stick is the same timing and brand as the other 16gb)
> used 128GB SSD ~ $20
> used 2TB ~ $40
> used case and mobo ~ $100
total ~ $690
I hope he's giving you a blowjob and the PC for the $900.
Power supply, wifi, Bluetooth, and windows 10 add some money too

The highest tier of GPUs has never been good bang for the buck. Once accelerated titles start hitting public release the RTX cards are going to be the best way to play said games and will be well worth the price increase.
I just bought one of these with a 4770 non k with 8gb of ram and a 1tb HDD for $200 CAD, ordered a 24 to 8 pin PSU adapter for $10, bought a new 860 evo 512GB for $119, a used 970 acx 2.0 for $140, and VS550 PSU for $35
Pretty solid computer for just over $500 CAD or $390 USD. Only thing I need to find is 2 sticks of 4GB DDR3 12800.
Got the same i5 2400, 12GB DDR3, GTX 960, 800 watt no name PSU, 1TB HDD. $160 total.
I don't you even actually believe the bullshit you are spouting.
Try and jew him down to $750
You're kidding, right? 900$ for all that? It is great
They are already the best GPU's in existence and anyone following the actual tech behind it knows it will only be a matter of months before its commonplace. This is already apparent in the machine learning space, Nvidia acceleration options are the defacto standard.
Ray tracing won't be a viable thing for consumers for a few more years, by then the RTX 2000 series will be EOL and obsolete.

meanwhile there are more thant 10 titles coming with ray tracing features. its ok if you cannot afford it, there's no need to go around spouting lies tho.
There are 8. Sit the fuck down.
BF5
SotTR
Metro
Mech warrior 5
Control
Assetto Corso
Some JRPG
And that Bioshock looking game
10 titles that are unplayable in any resolution above 1080p. Sounds like its well worth the money.
Enlisted
ProjectDH
JX3
Justice
Not to mention the countless that are adopting DLSS
Ark: Survival Evolved
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
We Happy Few
etc
not bad for tech that has not been shipped right? ps4 and switch had fewer games than this yet its ok when consoles do it.
got the optiplex 790 myself with an i5 2400
good solid machine
I know I'm using all 3 right now.
>wifi, Bluetooth
Irrelevant for the PC. Come with some mobos.
> and windows 10
Literally free. Can buy $10 key from eBay if you want to "activate" it.
too expensive
