The new GTX 1080 is a beast with 4K and very power sufficient using only 180w also has VR support and will be starting at $600.

Don't "just get the cheapest RAM". Get some quality 1600Mhz minimum, with the lowest latencies you can find. G.skill is my go to brand.

I got really cheap ram. $60 for GSkill ares, 2x8GB, 2133MHz

Solid info. G.Skill is where it's at.

G.Skill, OCZ, Kingston (good support & warranty), & Corsair have all treated me well. I only modestly overclock.

Monster pricing is way off to low end. Monster builds start from maybe 1800 but will go up to heavens if you want to.

Why don't you wait for the new cards to come out in a couple of weeks, and then update this?
tumblebuggy
cuz its an old repost
SuperDork42
so exactly what it says in the big yellow stripe then?
PublicRelations
Wouldn't need much updating, other than the fact Monster GPUs should be $1000+ (new Titan about to come out). The 1080 will stoll be und$600
thestorkasaurus
You don't think it'll outperform the R9 and the 980?
PublicRelations
Not to mention the 1080 is only $600. But the new Titan Z will outperform the 1080, which will be $1200. So the Titan Z is a monster
PublicRelations
The 1080 out performs the Titan X!!
thestorkasaurus
Therefore, the list should be updated. I'm not sure where you're coming from here.
PublicRelations
The the Titan X out performs the 980, the 1080 out performs them both.

Good quick guide. Im still sitting on ivy bridge and probably wont upgrade until kaby lake. But i am trading my 970 up to a 1080 in june.

I'm waiting for the 1070 to be released and hoping to get a second 979 cheap to SLI with my current one.
PublicRelations
Yeah, I noticed the graphics card "levels" being off. But great guide overall
kahless01
the upgrade for ivy bridge is broadwell E. kaby lake is a minor skylake upgrade. unless youre wanting to wait for cannonlake
Devils41
Upgrade for Ivy (3rd gen) was haswell (4th gen). Youre thinking of E class which was sandy bridge E (x79) then haswell E (x99) and 1/2
Devils41
2/2 soon to be broadwell E (x99). Kaby lake hasnt been benched so there's no idea on improvements and cannon lake isnt scheduled till Q2 '17
kahless01
no im not. the enthusiast platform is still x99. kaby lake has no significant upgrades beyond optane. and was benched 3 days ago.
Devils41
I originally wasnt comparing enthusiast platforms. If i had Ivy E i would have said it. That being said each gen has an increase in IPC 1/2
kahless01
and broadwell E comes out by the end of the year same as kaby lake
ddpv
Sorry, no, a monster setup is something like 3 1000 dollar graphic cards. The low end is cheap but the high end is way higher.
TakNoPants
I was going to say this info is old and then I realized I was on random

This list is older than my Atari. Needs a revamping.
JustADepressedElf
Or wait for the gtx 1080 or 1070 to come out. 1070 is 379$ and the 1080 is 579$. Both better then a titan. They release on the 27th of May.

Seriously? I literally just dropped 300 on a 970
DanielReader
I dropped twice that on a 980Ti because my other card died a couple of weeks ago. fml
AutoTomato
At least it was cheap
CultofCedar
I would definitely advise returning it since the new gpus will be way better
teratrain
there's a big yellow stripe that says to wait for pascal/polaris
slightlybored
the people going at the high end probably already know, but AMD's new (Vega?) is due Q3 this year
DickChaney2
3. Not until they 2nd gen hbm
DickChaney2
AMD kinda announced it wasn't fighting with the enthusiasts cards. They are sticking to mainstream only.
DickChaney2
2. So they will likely not push for a card over 350$
Devils41
1070 release is on June 10th.
JustADepressedElf
Ah I was misinformed.
Devils41
Yeah it seems weird they are doing a later release. Most likely waiting till after computex and possible polaris release.
kahless01
both better than the titan maybe. will have to wait for independent testing and not nvidia marketing
PrestigeWorldwideFirstWordInEntertainment
I doubt the 1070 is probably equal and the 1080 a little faster. I hope they come out with a new Titan that crushes 4k
Akirareturns
Or wait a bit more for AMD Polaris and compare.
Iastfan112
Lets wait for the real benchmarks for that claim and not just mindlessly repeat corporate marketing from a announcement event.
ipromiseimnotapotato
Thought the 80 was 600-700$
Dinomite89
Ahh sick, right after i purchased a 980 last month
DanielReader
same, i couldnt wait and there were no announcements. Now I'm contemplating really screwing up my finances
DickChaney2
1070 isn't better than the titan. It is better at VR and multi display than the titan. Its expected to land between titan and 980 ti
Alepale
Wait for real world benchmark. Double RAM sticks are supposed to 100% better than 1, but real world performance is roughly 10%...so yeah.
marssizedobject
I'm going to wait for a steep price break on a second 970 so I can sli them. My 750 evga PSU should handle it.
JustADepressedElf
Good plan there.
Devils41
I thought about this but SLI doesnt scale for every game. Plus im in AZ so the heat of two gpus. Ill be getting rid of my 970 for a 1080.
marssizedobject
Good point about the scaling. I'm in Colorado, so yeah, not an issue with the heat. The new cards are more power/heat efficient to boot.
akang3519
This is true. But good luck getting one of these cards on release
SuperDork42
it literally says if you can wait a few months for those cards to drop, do it because it'll drop the prices of all these cards too.
AutoTomato
The numbers you saw were not raw performance. The 980 Ti will very likely still be king even after these release, and for a little while.

As with Monsieur Mince, I'd go for one of Lenovo's. I've got the Y70-70 and it's fantastic, if not a little on the large side.
MrMince
I use the Lenovo y50 70 it works great when playing games tho i would recommend using a keyboard as my shift key broke off once
acertainjenesaisquoi
I went for the Y70-70 personally, and it works a treat. However, it's probably a bit too big for travelling.
MrMince
Yes i think on a plane it may be to big but its great for gaming
Ablus
lenovo y700, its pretty great. Its the successor to the y50s thes gents are talking about. The 15 inch and 17 inch have the same specs. (1)
Ablus
So it comes down to portability and screen size.
MrMince
Having just google the Y700 is it like an upgrade of the Y50. Similar design but better specs?

$60 for "monster" ram? Haha wtf are you smoking?
Nemrith
When I was running a 32GB setup I paid $90.
Indyeah
You think amount is what makes it "monster"? No mention of speed, latency, timing?
PublicRelations
Lmao, same goes for graphics cards. Sure the 1080 will be under $600, but the new Titan will be going for $1200.
Superspeed
but you should never use a titan for gaming, as there are far cheaper options that perform better.
Indyeah
What the fuck are you talking about? What performs better than a titan? That's literally the point of a titan.
Indyeah
He's not talking about the old titan X. The 1080 is gp104 chip. New titan is gp100. It will be faster by definition. More cores more memory.
YourWaifuIsTrash
But obviously, the more expensive stuff is better! /s
Superspeed
and 4 of them right?!
Rararawr
I paid $60 for 16GB
Indyeah
good for you. just because its 16GB does not mean its "monster ram". What's the speed? What's the latency or timings like?
Rararawr
Gskill Ares, 2133mhz, and the same latency as like every other kit of 2133 ddr3
Rararawr
Most 2x8GB kits at that speed are 11, but there are some 10's and like 3 9's. Mine are 10
AutoTomato
For the record, a 980 Ti and a Fury X aren't enough as single cards to max at 4K. They'll handle about high/ultra at 1440p for 60fps.
Indyeah
Truth. "Maxed at 4k"? Maybe, if you van live with 30 fps.

When considering performance it's best to use the newest, common titles. Saying it can run League at 4K would be pretty meaningless.

*cough* $100 for windows?! That's how much that bullshit costs these days? People /pay/ for operating systems?
DarthFutuza
Good luck using directx 12 on Ubuntu, still wish more devs would use opengl.
tokomak
Oh man, Ubuntu shit the bed good on my gaming laptop. I'm going back to Arch. Might keep a Win7 partition on the side just in case.
tokomak
DX12 is microsoft's answer to Vulkan/Mantle, not OpenGL. I just hope Unity/Unreal get popular enough that linux builds become normal + easy.
DarthFutuza
I'm aware, but opengl should answer to dx12 and mantle so they don't stay behind, right now opengl is very inferior.
tokomak
Right. The people behind OpenGL /did/ answer dx12, with Vulkan.
DarthFutuza
I guess, but the two projects are being developed separately and opengl is still trying to stride to be as good as vulkan.
tokomak
The real crime here is Intel's incredibly shitty linux drivers maxing out at OpenGL 3.3, even though the hardware is capable of 4.
DarthFutuza
Fortunately that's a relatively minor fix and one that's likely to change soon-ish.
tokomak
Also, not being one deep down in it, I can't tell that OpenGL 4 is inferior. It looks/feels as good as DX to me. (using UE4)
DarthFutuza
For most things, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Most games don't need better engines, they need better game artists and design.
