>List your uses, e.g. Gaming, Video Editing, VM Work
>For monitors, include purpose (e.g., photoediting, gaming) and graphics card pairing (if applicable)

CPUs based on current pricing:
>Athlon 200GE - HTPC, web browsing, bare minimum gaming (can be OC'd on most mobos with the right BIOS)
>R3 2200G - Recommended minimum gaming
>R5 2600/X - Great gaming or multithreaded use CPUs
>i7 8700 or 9700K - Extreme solution for absolute max FPS
>R7 2700/X - VM Work / Streaming / Video editing

RAM:
>Always choose at least a two stick kit; 2x 8GB is recommended
>CPUs benefit from high speed RAM; 3200CL16 is ideal
>AMD B and X chipsets and Intel Z chipsets support XMP

Graphics cards based on current pricing:
>Used cards can be had for a steal; inquire about warranty
1080p
>RX 570 8GB - good performance with great value
>GTX 1660 - standard
>RTX 2060 - high framerates (requires complementary CPU and monitor)
1440p
>RTX 2060 - standard
>RTX 2080 - high framerates (requires complementary CPU and monitor)
2160p (4K)
>RTX 2080 - standard
>RTX 2080Ti - better fit for 4K but expensive

General:

>Base 1721 MHz, Boost 1860 MHz

How dies this translates into FPS? I couldn't find any benchmarks where those two are compared.

In practice, both will be within 5% of each other at worst. The gap will be even smaller if you decide to OC.

The main difference is that the ASUS is a blower and the other has a proper cooling setup. On Pascal, lower temps allow the gpu to boost to higher clocks, roughly 25mhz increment every 5 celcius.

Anyone have this case with a fuckhueg CPU cooler, such as the NH-D15 or the Scythe Ninja 5? I wanna make sure it fits before I buy

Should I get a AMD Radeon VII Or wait for Navi?

wait literally one day for specs on navi christ almighty do you people not do any kind of research fuck

I see, thanks.
I got a 270$ offer for a first one and 295$ for a second one, though I hasn't tried to bargain with the second guy yet.

Definitely get the second. Blowers shouldn't even be considered on a card that pulls 250w+
