Not sure if it helps, but that price is under $1k for reasonably similar performance. RAM could be faster though, I guess.
Edit: I just noticed this but the build I linked is also water cooled, while yours looks to be air-cooled?
I think it just takes some looking around to find good bang-for-your-buck.
- diab0lic 9y agoLooks like you got two extra cores, and I assume you're overclocking it with that cooler? What frequency did you manage to get it to run at? Looking back I probably should have just bought a 1060 6GB, though then I would have been paying for G-Sync instead of FreeSync.
- holtalanm 9y agoI honestly havent put it to together yet. On paper, it should be similar performance to yours, though. I designed it so that I wouldn't have to get a new CPU for _years_, and am not really planning on OC'ing it until later on when it needs that extra 'boost'. To add to my GPU choice -- I have been bitten before by AMD software that supports their cards. Not going that route again, ever. Had to run an open source graphics card driver a few years back instead of using the proprietary drivers from AMD because the proprietary drivers kept shutting the card off. This was easily 6 years ago so it may not be so bad now.
