I'm enjoying it but tv in my gaming room is too large/close for the shtty graphical quality. Zelda does not look good on the big screen.

Nope, I tried, she can take Yellow Claw in stride though (EDM), I have only had one piss in the floor in two days though. She does like to taste test everything though.

No, we gotta make sure we are PC towards everything.

Everything should be accepted.

Anyone should be able to use whatever bathroom they choose.

This fricking society today pisses me off.

Yeah I know they aren't, just feel better pretending or leaving the option open.

So Since the flood wiped out my PC and we are now finally getting close to moving back into my house...I did a pc part picker build ..goal was to get superb 1080p gaming under 1k bucks and a modest storage size SSD.

Please if you are inclined, tell me how bad I fricked up :

Sorry to hear that. I suggest going with an Unlocked i5 or even the 1700 Ryzen.


Would you be interested in a 980 Ti for $250?

Just base MSI 980 Ti. Has never ran on air, so highest temps seen was 44-46C during Witcher 3. Has custom firmware so you can OC higher. I had 2 of them but never sold my 2nd one of eBay. Running TITAN XPs now.

Can hand deliver in the BR area like we are doing a drug deal or can drive to my house in Thibodaux.

It is about 40 % faster than a 1060.

How much water did you get? Right before I evacuated, I ripped mine from all the cords and threw it on the bed. Figured the PC would be the least of my worries if the water got that high.

We got around 12inches. I got the data drives though, I at least had enough foresight to grab that and my externals so all good there. My PC was stationed in our kitchen in a corner desk just barely off the floor which is why much of the components were ruined.

--Coyote--Thank you very much for the offer but I am going to pass. The idea of a card that is more energy efficient and brand new is more appealing to me after looking over all factors.


eta : I really did not plan on overclocking at all. I am not a water cooled guy. Could you elaborate on if you would suggest the unlocked one if I am not going to overclock it and, what are the gaming advantages for the AMD Ryzen sku's ?

None as of now.

I agree with new Arch. You will get driver support for longer but the 1060 is a pretty weak card moving forward. Maybe look into spending just a little more if you do ever plan on getting a 1440 or 2160 monitor. If the deal is to stick with 1080 you will be fine.

Right now I am firmly planted in the 1080p market where a casual should be

From everything I have been able to read on benches for the card in that resolutions it offers outstanding performance and should be able to do so for quite some time..And then I will get that next "mid range card" that can play 1440P games with no sweat..heck maybe even 4k games by then..What has really pushed me away from that resolution is the expense of quality monitors at that resolution.. When that price comes down , it will open flood gates to casuals I think.

Do you see any potential bottlenecks with the ram/CPU/HDD/GPU I have selected for gaming at 1080p ?

This is highly subjective. Depending what you actually want to see in terms of eye candy can serious limit the performance and quality. Rendering you no better than a console gamer.
