New Computer Build after 6 years

I spent close to 2,200 building a top of line rig in 2011 and I'm looking to upgrade.
The budget for a new rig is 1500-2100 though I can add more if need be.

I have a monitor, keyboard and mouse already so it's not an issue. I want at least a gtx1080 gpu; the monitor itself can be bought later and doesn't factor into my initial 1.5K.

I want top of the line future proofing as far as the gpu and cpu is concerned and a nice mobo.

I have little time to decide; it's now or never otherwise that money is going away.

Please help.

Wait for Nvidia Volta GV104 GTX 2080
>>
>>61625412
I don't have the time to wait for its release.

The money will be gone as soon as month. It has to be now or never.
>>
If you can spend $699 then go for the 1080 Ti

If not, $499 GTX 1080

Assuming you already have a case and PSU from existing build

>>61625448
I think I can spend that much. But does that leave me enough money for a computer case, a mobo, a very good cpu, and other components with the remaining 800-1200 dollars?

>The money will be gone as soon as month
But that's not how money works for adults.

Was going to suggest a R7 1700 build but someone already posted one so I'm just going to recommend that one.
>>
>>61625448
That makes no sense you impatient child

>>61625539
Oops meant for >>61625431
>>
>>61625472
I CAN use my old case and PSU, both very good.

I have a few questions about 8 core amd processors though. I feel like I'd rather go intel quad core. Also, I wouldn't mind a slightly better brain of SSD or one with at least one with 500 gigs on it or maybe even a 1tb SSD

GTX 1080 or wait 3-9 months on next gen

Lmao this place is so retarded for tech, better off shipping parts across the world
>>
>>61625559
I'm sorry, this money will be given to someone else soon, not me, if I don't make a decision with a few days.

I'd rather not go too much into the details, but yes, that's what is happening here. It has nothing to do with impatience.

Jesus Christ.
>>
>>61625627
How many games even utilize 8 cores. Shouldn't I be going with a quad core with each core clocked at 4.2 ghz?
>>
>>61625620
Can't you just tell them yes you want it and have them write you a check?
>>
>>61625627
To follow up since you think I'm such a dunce, your elitism Asperger-ness is showing; I am thinking of an i7 7700k.

Tell me with your infinite knowledge which is better for games. the R7 or the i7
>>
>>61625699
It's more complicated than that. Short answer is no.
Longer answer is that I cannot ask for more money afterwards if I got a check right now.
>>
>>61625736
Well you can definitely build a peecee with a 1080ti and 1700x or 7700k for $2k so got for it.

They're both perfectly fine for games. The R7 1700 regularly goes on sale for $270 and comes with a perfectly fine cooler that will help you get a solid OC. The 7700k goes on sale for $330 with a regular MSRP of $390, it comes with no cooler so you're throwing out another $30 minimum. If you want the 7700k to pull 144mhz@1440p or higher, you're talking about delidding it. You're literally jumping through hoops to eke out performance, and you're buying an LGA 1151 board--and if you're not buying top of the line, nice z270 to pair with that, you'd be spending money poorly.

You know, I don't know, I don't regularly spend other people's money for my own shit, so I care about things like value and price efficiency. If all you care about is spending as much as you can, why not invest in the BLAZING speeds of the x299 platform? I'd recommend the i5 7620x, as it is worth the money and just makes sense to exist.
>>
>>61625966
Sounds about right for gamer kiddies
>>
>>61625966
Wow, $2000 gaming pc for a birthday. I'd have been lucky if I could convince my parents to pay for half of a GPU back in those days.
>>
>>61625966
Haha, good guess. That's not it though.

As an update. For everyone, I will be making a paypal account and putting 1.5K in it so that this money does not go away.

If I decide to spend 2k or 1900 on a pc, I can get the remainder of that money at a later time.

So yes, I might decide to wait until the next GPU comes out to maybe drive down the price of the TI gtx180.

Thanks for the help guys.

At the top end of your budget I focused on quieter parts as well as OCing plus 32gb of RAM which is more then you will ever need RAM speed dosen't really matter with Intel

Just remeber this is for either 120hz 1440p or 60hz 4k gaming so make sure your monitor supports one of those
>>
>>61626072
Watercool?
>>
>>61626124
I mean at 2100$ thousand not accounting for a monitor you can pretty much go all out (not counting SLI builds that is)
>>
>>61626108
The seasonic is only 2 dollars more.

>>61626124
Perhaps. Most likely even. Possibly not, though.
I am done with SLI builds.

>>61626108
Thanks, I am looking into this
>>
>>61626163
Which part?
>>
>>61626200
That would only make sense if I would stick to one company no matter the product. I've only ever bought Intel processors before Ryzen. The tech doesn't suck and has great value. If the shoe was on the other foot, I'd go Intel just as easily.

OC the processor to ~4GHz, maybe 4.2.

I have a 1800X myself and I gotta say that 4.2 MHz OC is 1 / 1000 golden ticket CPU. 3.8-3.9 is realistic and maybe 4 GHz if you get lucky.
>>
>>61625381

There's a thread for this. >>61618652
>>
>>61626434
Every Ryzen 7 processor hits 3.8GHz at reasonable voltage, and about every 1700X will hit 3.9 at reasonable voltage. Good chance for 4GHz too.
>>
>>61626434
lol what mobo?

also put the voltage up and you can achieve 4ghz easily
>>
>>61626626
C6H and I can get 4 GHz if I crank voltage to 1.4v currently running at 3.9 tho
>>
>>61625381
Wait for 8700k.
>>
Honestly good budget

Get the 1080. Buy an i7 with DDR 4 ram + mobo, that's 1200-1400 already. Then you can choose the case and aftermarket cooler

here's mine, on game-mode(auto mode or some shit from sli plus mobo) at 4ghz it puts the voltage up to 1.45 which is pretty scary, but the systems is stable

i tried 4.1ghz in auto-mode and in cinebench it crashed, probably because it needed like 1.475/1.5 voltage which i don't want to give it

To be honest i think a got a pretty good CPUs, but i'm lucky because i was cheap on the mobo so it kind of balances out.

Also what most people forget is that cooling is very important, i got a h110i AIO and it keeps my shit cool.As a side-note, from what i've seen people who hit 4.2GHz on 1800x use 360mm AIOs or custom water loops

>>61625412
GV104 will just be 3584 shaders vs 3840 shaders on GP102. That "12nm" process won't be too much an improvement.

>>61626222
850W seasonic titanium for 199 on amazon vs 197

How much did she take you for?
>>
>>61625381
I just bought an Asus 1080Ti Strix
I'm very happy with how quiet it is under load, a huge step up from the blower type GTX 680 I had before.
I've read the modern blower types are still quite noisy.

IMO you shouldn't buy "top of the line" and then not upgrade for though.
Much more economical to only buy what you need in the next 12 months or so, and upgrade whenever you feel something is getting slow.
Hardware prices drop very fast.
>>
>>61625719
You said you want future proofing, so definitely the r7. That's not even close. Even today the difference is less than 5% for the biggest piece of shit unoptimized game, usually less than 2%.
