Convince me not to just buy a prebuilt

OP here

Hopes dashed

Hopes dashed

Fuck this duopoly. Fuck Nvidia, and fuck AMD. Based on pricing of previous gens, 1080Ti perf should be 350USD at most.

What's the highest end GPU my computer can support? I realise different games have different requirements but how high can I go without bottlenecking my system too much?

If the only cpu overclocking I will do is PBO, what motherboard should i get for 2700 and eventually 3800 ryzen?
I assume a GB x470 AORUS GAMING 7 is overkill.

you can save hunderds of dollars if you do it yourself

PBO pumps stupid voltage into your chip, so a better motherboard is going to be better, better VRMs and VRM cooling especially.

Probably 2060 @ 1080p

If you don't learn how to work 'under the hood' of your PC, you'll be a retarded cripple when something fucks up

>Probably 2060 @ 1080p
Is that just a guess or?
