Turbo Boost is one core though, so it's false advertisement

True - yea but most people still aren't overclocking. It's a overtalked about activity in the pc market.

Think I may sell my 1080 and get that 1080ti

Nope wait for new gpu or buy used a 1080 ti (540-600)
best place to buy

I went to the apple store and the cost to have an apple ecosystem is like 20K for top of the line shyt now.

Very conflicted on whether to get the 2700X or the 8700K.

At stock (meaning you won't overclock) I'd go with the 2700x, if you are overclocking I'd go with the 8700k but remember you have to buy a 70-160 dollar cpu cooler to go along with it. All reviews will agree, at least between 1080 (5-10% difference), 1440 (1-2% difference) and 4K gaming -1% difference. Also you shouldn't waste your time getting a x470/x370. A b450/b350 is more than enough unless you are sli.

I should of just gave up intel all the way after the 5960x/7700k but I have a problem. Have yet to try a second gen ryzen yet, always itching.

Can someone explain VRMs?

Voltage regulator module - converters that give cpu voltage, it basically helps keep the cpu running at the right voltages to prevent damage.

Edit* new monitor is having gloomy problem again, fukk it returning it for good, now I have no gsync monitor beside 2560x1080 from dell

How much would it cost to build a good 1080 60fps pc. I have a X and a PlayStation Pro. Willing to let the X go if I can build something that plays smooth for a decent price. No more than 700. Is that possible?

Maybe I should keep it, please don't under deliver I'm struggling to push over 75-80 fps with struggle 4K settings all turned off in most games

According to forums it just seems to be a general issue,

I can only dream that it comes with 12gb or 16gb of gddr6, I'll sport a 1180 sli for a year before 1180ti comes out.

Something called the 1180+ is supposed to come out a month later, September 30. What an 1180+ is, I dunno. Is it the new branding for the ti lines? Is it the new Titan? Anyway, I'm waiting for that version.

 

[Ciggavelli]

Also, a bit of an update. I was having random bsods like last month, and I basically ignored it. Well, it's been 2 weeks, and I haven't had a bsod at all. I even left my computer on for 2 days straight, to test it out. I dunno what happened, but

You reset bios or moved ram sticks? Maybe a dead ram slot. Also is task manager reading 32gb of ram?

Nah, I didn't do anything but update drivers. I guess that could have been it. I'm probably jinxing myself though

I started Prime Day thinking I wasn't getting shyt. By the end of the week last week I had a new SSD, 8700K, new MOBO, and RAM now I gotta upgrade this 1070 to the 11 series. I'm almost at 4k60 with the right settings
