It’s incredible how much the prices have fallen and that’s how it should be. Sure, I bought the 960 close to launch but still the difference is staggering.

The 960 Evo still chugs along albeit it’s a new one because a few months after I bought it, I had to RMA it. I guess that’s what happens when you are an early adopter. I lost a few hours of work when the original 960 Evo decided to stop working but it also taught me to be more paranoia with backups.

    My dad got tired of struggling so he just told me the future proof a build.

    He said “Max out everything” So I did.

    128gb ddr4 ram, ryzen 5600 4.6ghz 12 core hyperthreaded CPU, nvidia 2080. (He wouldn’t let me get the 40x card)

      curious why you would pair those specs with a mid-range cpu. wouldn’t it have made more sense to go with a ryzen 9 if you were maxing everything out?
