I used Windows 10 without an SSD today
It was AWFUL. All these companies selling "gaming desktops" without an SSD should be ashamed of themselves. macOS is still pretty good with mechanical drives, but this Windows 10 shyt is ridiculous. All the "tweaking" in the world still has your disk usage at damn near 50% or so at idle...and not some old ass drive either. Firecuda, WD Blue/Black whatever. That shyt is unbearable.

$60 standalone with no discount if you already own FO4
Damn...not worth it at that price.
Side note: fukk Bethesda for making this a Vive exclusive. I want it on my rift. I guess that’s what we get for oculus having all those exclusives (Lone Echo being the biggest one).
Apparently I already bought FO4 VR at some point in the past. 
I had no idea.
must have been when I wasn’t living right

Might as well...I have an i5 6600k overclocked to 4.4ghz paired with a GTX 1080 TI. It performs fine to me at 4k and I have the same TV I think LG C7 55 inch. From what I understand at 4k CPU isn't as important as GPU because you're more GPU bound at 4k than 1440p and 1080p.
I kind of wish I would have waited for HDMI 2.1 because they're probably going to support 4k 120hz for gaming I believe. GTX 1080 TI can do 4k 60HZ in most games though pretty easily.
1080p is the only one CPU intensive
yup, same tv, LG
hit up micro center today.
picked up the i7 7700k (not currently over clocked)
also copped this EVGA GTX 1080ti
doing drivers and all that right now, can't wait to see this shyt
you didnt have to grab the 7700k, wasted your money tbt
Sometimes you just need to get it to put your mind at ease. My i5 is fine but I find myself checking cpu prices from time to time.
