My budget for my gaming rig maxes out at $1700. I got every part

>buying old gen
>ever

get 1060 or 1070

On that budget you easily could have squeezed a 1080. You're really bad at this anon.

>>56028976
>buying legacy hardware

>>56028976
how in the hell did you spend 1700 on a pc WITHOUT a gpu

>>56028976
You could have got a brand new aftermarket 1070.

I guess this is the right place to ask, but I have a friend who wants me to build a PC for him. Is the 1070 better than the 980ti if both are roughly the same price?

wtf nigga, you could have gotten a gtx 1080 and what's up with the 550W PSU at that budget

>>56029096
yes

You're bad at this, OP...

Post your list right now. The parts you've posted just off the top of my head should barely even be around $1000. How the fuck can you not afford a GPU?

whoah, you mean nvidia ACTUALLY produces the reference cards?

t.retard of the day.

>>56029313
yet u replied.

>>56029096
Benchmarks put them almost exactly the same right now

>>56029096
they're virtually same performance, but 1070 is newer, 2gb more vram, and more efficient

only way a 980ti makes sense is if it's ~25% cheaper

This is my list

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/YKdqpb

I only had like two hundred bucks for a video card, assholes.

>>56029613
Ur a legit retard man
You're gonna esd the first component you open, just end your life its cheaper

>>56029613
Where to start

Why in gods great name would you need to spend $115 to cool an i5? A fucking 212 Evo would have done the job just fine considering i bet you're not overclocking.

> $130
>for 16 fucking GB of RAM

If going used, then yes get a used 980 Ti. However, I suggest buying a 1080 or 1070 instead. Hell you can even get some used if you get lucky. If you can't get a 1000 series depending on your budget you can get a used 980 Ti and it will be a step above the 980, but really try not to buy old hardware generation if not used especially for a main gaming rig.

>>56029613
youre paying way too much for that 980

>>56029073
DDR4, meme case and probably some meme peripherals, /v/ is dumb.

>>56029751
DDR4 is cheaper than DDR3. This isn't 2015.

>>56029613
other than the RAM and outdated videocard, there's not anything THAT bad about it

PSU is too expensive for a 550W and you're spending too much on your case vs the total build cost (over 10% budget on case. you should spend half as much and put that extra $70 to a better video card)

Not OP poorfag here. Was watching some videos, never built a PC but I'm pretty sure I can do it. Is this build ok? I have to buy Windows, does an i5 require fan or is stock fan ok? Also might downgrade to Gtx 950 because poorfag.

>>56028976
I basically build your setup a couple weeks ago, getting a 1070 and I paid the 'BE EUROPEAN' Premium and only had to pay 1400 euros. Even bought a 512 GB Samsung PRO SSD for 240 bucks. How the hell does a 980 burst that budget? With that amount of money you should be able to get a 1080 for 750 bucks.

>>56029886
If you're not overclocking, which you shouldn't be with that CPU, stock is fine.

Go 2x4 instead of single channel for more bandwidth.

There's plently of other recommendations I could make but I don't know what your budget is. If you can only afford a 960, please just wait a little longer, save up, and get a 1060 or something. You'll probably regret it otherwise.

>>56029886
unlocked intel CPUs don't have coolers, so yes you need one

drop the 960 and get a RX 470 instead, or even RX 480 if you can afford it

get two sticks of 4gb of ram. it's worth the extra $5

don't buy windows you retarded faggot

>>56029886
>have to buy windows
Why?

Get an RX 470, 480 or 1060. 960 is a terrible choice.

>>56029886
I'd suggest 4x2 instead of 8x1. Unless you are going to get another 8 eventually. The non k i5 should have a cpu cooler with it. I'd shoot for one of the new gen graphics cards if you can, might have to wait a while though.

>>56029930
>Go 2x4 instead of single channel for more bandwidth.
He's not running a fucking APU. He doesn't need more bandwidth.

>>56029932
Cool I'll checkout those other cards and get rid of the cooler thanks.

I don't have a computer at the moment so how the hell would I fresh install Windows?

>>56029613
That build is fucking terrible

>>56029613
>I only had like two hundred bucks for a video card, assholes.

are you retarded? what is the reasoning with limiting yourself? you should also never pay more for your cpu these days than your gpu

>>56030033 here

Can't do 470 that's a $200. I'm so broke actually probly downgrading to Gtx 650. Am I missing something? Do I not need to buy Windows? It comes with it?

>>56030060
>you should also never pay more for your cpu these days than your gpu
Sure thing Intel shill

>>56030152
save a bit more money to get the 470 you will regret it if you dont

>>56028976
why did you waste all that money getting DDR4 ram when you could have gotten an i7 4790k and 32GB DDR3 for less.

>>56030298
I'm mostly just playing league and overwatch, getting i5 over i3 for multitasking (also sometimes make music needs cpu). I saw YouTube videos using i3 with Gtx 950 in overwatch just fine so I figured it's ok. Also I'm poooorrr lol

>>56028976
dude go 1060 or 1070 instead of 980. u stupid

>>56030368
>i3 with Gtx 950 in overwatch
on all medium/low at 1280x720 maybe

>>56030368
Or I was considering the new RX 460 4gb? It's cheap as hell with dx12 support?

also can someone explain this aftermarket gpu shit? is it worth it?

Either that or you are just a retarded AMD fan boy who just hates anybody who recommends nvidia products. I really cant tell seeing as we are on 4chans autistic daycare board.

lol are you purposefully trying to have a shit pc??

>>56030444

>>56030632
Budget PC man. I'll upgrade later in like a year, but I literally have no computer right now. I'm on my fucking phone lol. 460 4gb is new and affordable and has dx12 vulkan surely that's better than a Gtx 950 ?

>>56030632

If he only plays League and finds a 460 for $109, he could do a lot worse. Not many budget options at that price range. 750 ti is too long in the tooth. 950 a bit too expensive and questionable longevity.

Download windows 10 trial from microsoft and put the file onto a CD or USB. Install it from that then use KMSpico or MStoolkit to activate it.

If you can get the 980ti for 325ish then go for that, otherwise go 1070. I ended up buying a 980ti because i got a waterblock for cheap as hell, too.
