CPU
>R3 2200G - Bare minimum gaming(dGPU optional)
>R5 2400G/i5-8400 - Consider IF on sale
>R5 2600/X - Good gaming & multithreaded work use CPUs
>Wait for 9700k - Almost surely best for 1080p gaming
>R7 2700/X - Best high-end gaming/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
>RTX 2000 cards are worse performance per $ than current GPUs. Just a marketing gimmick to rip off idiots
>Avoid cheap MODELS ie MSI Armor (Mk2 is ok), Gigabyte G1/Wf, ASUS dual, and others which have small heatsinks and low quality fans
1080p
>RX 570/580 /w Freesync or 1060 6GB are standard 1080p 60fps+ options
>1050 3Gb or RX560 for lower settings and/or older games
>GTX 1070Ti/Vega 56 if seeking higher FPS /w a high hz monitor
1440p
>Vega 56; 1070Ti/1080 if you already have Gsync
>GTX 1080Ti if seeking higher FPS /w a high hz monitor
4K
>Upscale from 1620-1800p. Maybe 2080Ti, but awful value.
OpenCL work
>Vega 64

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; 60hz are mostly old models.
>Always consider FreeSync with AMD cards
>___sync is important for slower response time monitors (IPS)
>PLAN YOUR BUILD AROUND YOUR MONITOR IF GAMING

How hard will the i9-9900K shit on amd?

$1300 for 2080 here.

Who needs an i9?

Nitro+ FE(V2) RX580 for 300 euro¥, worth it?

Posting from previous thread kinda.
R9 290X normally costs ~$330 USD here, but I found a refurbed reference one for about half that ($170). Was considering buying it and putting an aftermarket cooler on it, downclocking/volting and what not, but not sure if it's worth buying a refurbed card.
With the fact that it's AyyMD, there's a good chance it was used to mine with, but surely it's somewhat safe, assuming they've taken the risk of refurbishing it.... right?

Why the fuck are 4k monitors so cheap compared to 1440p.

Between $1800-2000 for 2080ti over here while average wages are ~$800. Nvidia is beyond retard if they think anyone is going to buy those.

panels are shit on cheap 4k monitors
you either get $1k 4k monitor with IPS
or $600 1440p VA monitor

ok my dudes im getting a real itch to buy a new pc but i just cant justify it

the most demanding game i play is pubg and even that runs fine at 1080p low

should i just slap a new gpu like 1070/1070ti in this and call it a day?
