Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I'll pay $10 more for new.

How the hell do I search within a r/ ? I'm super new to reddit.

There's a search bar on the right (if you're using old Reddit) and make sure search within r/hardwareswap is checked.

Then you can look for whatever you need. I just like sorting the sub by newest posts so I can see the newest posts

Edit: and you can also sort by state to try and find local deals

That's a really good deal especially with the PSU and cable management.

Go down to the 1080's. They have a B stock 1080 FTW for 449

But the brand new one with PSU and cable management is 529. Decisions!!!

Free shipping is nice too since EVGA usually charges way too much for that.

I'm undecided if I should get the 1070TI FTW2 or the 1080 FTW DT. It looks like the 1070Ti FTW2 was more expensive in MSRP ( by $10) than the 1080 FTW DT. It's a $50 difference. I have a feeling the 1080 FTW DT would be a better choice.

You can't go wrong with either one. I'd personally get the 1080 since it averages about 10 FPS higher in tested games and that justifies an extra $50 for me.

The 1070 Ti was only released to stick it to AMD.

I got this one. Figured brand new, upgraded power supply, and cable management was a good deal as opposed to a used or possibly not covered 1070TI + 650W PSU for potentially $80 less if the Ebay coupon ever came around in time.

I also get the Step up program if the 11xx come out within 90 days.

Y'all think 120GB SSD is enough for OS plus Fortnite and everything else in HDD?

There's a deal on Newegg for a PNY 120GB SSD for 29.99

That's disgusting. Realm looks so bad. I'll play PUBG though.

Noctua

They are releasing black versions of some of their models late 2018 early 2019. I’m pretty much set on a one fan/two radiator version. I personally don’t mind the way they look.
