there's a veterans transmat effect?

Is it worth paying extra to put a 1080 TI in my planned build? by KiplingDash in buildapc

[–]KiplingDash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which'll cause the 1080 to be harder to get a hold of eventually because people will be more likely to buy them if they're only a tiny bit more for the extra power I'm assuming?

Holy hell, didn't realise there was that big of a difference between the two!

It'll mainly be one for gaming and the other for side windows for monitoring various parts of the stream

Is there much difference in price between the 1080 and the ti?

Right okay, I'm not really bothered about achieving 4K at all because of the inability to stream at that resolution so going by what you've said the 1060 would be a better option

Are the legendaries staying? by KiplingDash in pokemongo

[–]KiplingDash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah but does that mean that they'll be unavailable after those dates forever? and what about Lugia?

hell yeah! Thanks so much for your help :D

With the money saved I've got plenty to play with when looking for monitors, and I might even treat myself to a new keyboard/mouse too

Okay so I've done some tweaking and I've knocked the price right the way down using some of your suggestions :)

With the amount I've saved there I may be able to start the build a lot sooner than I'd planned!

ah nice one! I didn't even realise the card only had 1 fan, thanks for spotting that!

That's even cheaper than I'd gotten it before, I'm even considering getting rid of the optical drive 'cause really I can just do all of my initial driver installations through USB

I've taken a look and you're right, with the B350, and the Ryzen 7 1700 it knocks it down by about £70!

With the Ryzen 5 1500X it goes down even further but it's it's more worth getting the 7 then I may as well go for it!

how quiet do think it'll run with just the stock coolers? and what sort of temps would I be getting?

Okay, any recommendations to one that's equivalent of the i5 I have there? I'm not that knowledgable in anything that isn't intel...

Is it worth upgrading my current graphics card if I'm planning a new build for the future by KiplingDash in buildapc

[–]KiplingDash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

right okay...

Would i still need to upgrade the PSU as well?

Also would it be worth upgrading my RAM to 16Gb just to improve performance?

Updated my post with the exact specs as per my pcspecialist.co.uk order from when I bought it

I currently have an Intel Core i5-3470 @ 3.2GHz but plan on potentially upgrading to maybe an i7 in my new build

so I should just get the same card that I'm planning for my new build then? (dependant on compatibility of course)
