Hello there, fellows. I believe the time has come to upgrade my PC, starting with the graphics card. I'm currently running a GTX 780, which still does its job, but gaming at 1440p on newer releases is an issue. I'm thinking about getting a GTX 1080, or perhaps even a 1080 Ti (if I'm feeling particularly "adventurous"), though that seems like overkill. Any thoughts?

Additionally, I should mention that I'm making use of a (slightly) overclocked i7 4770k. Is that still seen as an acceptable CPU?

I wont be a buyer on release for the S8+. I want to wait for a few reviews and testing before I jump in.

Does Samsung still lock their bootloader's?

I got the SO a S7 before our Vegas trip last September.

She fckking hates it and so do I. The thing always needs to be reimaged. It slows down after awhile so quickly.

Idk if she can even wait for the new Pixel. Might need to pull the trigger this month.

You guys know Destiny 2 is coming to the PC?

Loved it on PS4. It's a game that should be on the traditional KB/M controls.

What you have in your machine right now? I still have a 980 Ti to sell. Thinking about maybe even giving it away.

Edt: Lost the case stickers for it. I know that is a huge sealing point. Sorry.

Did you play Destiny on consoles? It had its issue but was really good at times. It did certain right and you felt the potential, just lack of any social aspect was missing.

In the US yes, do what I'm doing and get the international version they have unlocked bootloaders and XDA pretty much only develops for them.

Plus the international ones come with the Exynos CPUs that offer a bit more performance over the Snapdragon.
