It's insane that I can sell my used gtx 1060 for more than I paid for it over a year ago. I also want ddr4 to drop again. I want to upgrade my ram to 16gb this year and also buy another SSD. But I refuse to pay more for both of those things than I did last year!

SSD prices are higher now than they were a year ago? I thought that was the only thing going down now.
DDR4 is insane! Would be like $200 to get 16gb. Do you have 2x4gb or 1x8gb? How many slots do you have?

I have a single 8 GB. 2 slots. I built with intention to upgrade to 16Tyler wrote:SSD prices are higher now than they were a year ago? I thought that was the only thing going down now.

Also my 240gb SSD was $54. Most are more around $75 for that size. I understand that the speeds are slightly increased as well but I don't know if $20 is worth a marginal bump.

Re: Computers and PC parts
Damn! You got a deal at $54. I would buy one if I saw it at that price. I'm sure the speed increase wouldn't even be noticed, especially compared to going from HDD to SSD.
Good call on single 8gb. Will be much cheaper to just get another single 8gb this year.

Cool that Nvidia said that, but it doesnt really matter. Newegg/Microcenter, etc don't know who is buying the cards or don't care.

Yeah, there would be no realistic way of policing that.
Re: Computers and PC parts
I was at Best Buy over the weekend and just out of curiosity I checked out the video cards, or rather, where the video cards should be. Not a single card was in stock, not even the lower end GTX 1050s

Not surprising. Did they have the tags as normal pricing instead of the inflated price seen elsewhere?Tyler wrote:I was at Best Buy over the weekend and just out of curiosity I checked out the video cards, or rather, where the video cards should be.

Re: Computers and PC parts
Now I wish I would have looked closer. They weren't 50-100% inflated, but maybe 10-20?

My Plex server was losing the 8tb drive when I plugged in another drive. I figured it was because the PSU wasn't strong enough to power all the drives so I just kept one of them unhooked. Finally decided to look into it. Server is only 240w. Just ordered a semi-modular 500w PSU for it so I can have all of the drives going again. First real PC part I've bought in awhile.
I would like to upgrade my gaming desktop this year or early next year. New mobo, CPU, and RAM.

Re: Computers and PC parts
I'm proud of my little server. This PC/case was made for 2 hard drives. I now have 1 SSD and 4 HDDs with room for at least one or 2 more. I had to add gut the old interals to fit the new hard drive rack.
I added a new power supply tonight and a PCI card that added 4 more SATA ports.
You're looking at 20TB of storage.

Re: Computers and PC parts
Put a cheap SSD in the tank laptop I got from Wags. Night and day difference. All computers should have an SSD boot drive. I feel bad for my dad and not having one in his VR PC. I should upgrade that for him.

Kyle, you got a 1070 ti?! You'll have the nicest card on the forum. Get a slick deal one?

Nah I got in on amazon it was 50 dollars off so only $430. Not too bad at all. Only problem is amazon said it was going to be 2 day prime shipping, but now after ordering it they say "Not yet shipped. We need more time to estimate arrival date"... Hopefully I get it soon though

I also got an I7 8700k

Re: Computers and PC parts
You go girl! You already had a mobo with the right socket? If I upgrade my CPU I need a new mobo and new ram. So like $500

Yeah im getting a new MB as well. Already bought 16gb of ddr4
