I have no idea what the prices are for it. I paid ~$800 this past July for mine. You'll have to do some looking around. Maybe check out ebay for a used one or craigslist.

Money isn't the biggest issue and I'd prefer to have all new components. I'm willing to pay a bit more for better stuff that is new. I understand the cpu and gpu don't offer much more than the more popular 8700K 1080ti setup, but without considering the price differences would you say the i7 9700k 2080 rtx setup is WORSE than the 8700k 1080ti setup in terms of performance? If the performance between the two is practically the same then I'm okay with the more recent hardware, but if your talking in terms of price vs performance and say that the newer setup is worse then I'm not too concerned.

the 2080 was 1000 canadian dollars so about 100 american dollars plus you get a free game

battlefield 5.... :(

look on ebay mate i see loads of 1080 ti at lest for now

Ebay new is expensive too. A 1080ti isn't worth 1,000+ dollars.

You really like to throw that around. 1080 Ti isn't really worth buying brand new anyway because of price inflation.

Lmao "Used: An item that has been used previously. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear"

The OP said new, cosmetic wear for almost 900 bucks is a horrible deal.

Perfect condition.

will be posted with Australia Post. that is what this guy put there]

it's about 915 plus post

also no gtx 1080ti new will be under 1000$ at this point

also i put coupons and specials in just because coupons will being down that $$ tag
and if you're lucky like last week, i saw a new 1080ti going for 998 aud,
that was gone fast.

and specials who knows maybe you'd get lucky and find a good one

That 5GHz isnt all core, though it will happily oc to that, in gaming, realisticly, a 9900k is no faster than a 9700k.

If you want 32GB for the sake of it, go for it, but know, it will be wasted and a paperweight 99% of the time, likewise, going to 3600MHz ram, with very likely worse timings will result in practically zero performance increase over 3200MHz.

You would be far better off spending your money more wisely by investing in a good gpu, by that I mean a model with a good cooler, hell, the cash you have spent on pointless stuff could get you to a 2080ti.
Pascal and now Turing boost clocks are tightly linked to temperatures, a good cooler can get 5-10% extra performance.

Sorry but this thread has alot of bad advice in it overall.

Yea I actually stuck with the 9700k and I wasn't able to cancel the ram so I'm not going to bother returning it and ended up with 16gb gskill tridentz 3200mhz ram. I've been reading up on all these parts since this post was created and been hearing what people are saying, my power supply is overkill but honestly it was priced lower than the 650w and 750 watt ones when I was looking at them and even had a sale price unlike the others. So i just went with 850watt. The m.2 1tb samsung evo 970 could of probably been replaced with some other ssd and i would of saved around a hundred or more dollars. I understand I spent a few hundred more than I really need to, but the graphics card was on sale and only cost about 780-800 american and the 1080ti's were alot more than that. I even tried cutting back on some of the things I liked but didn't need and ended up spending quite a bit more than what I'm spending right now if I got the 2080ti. I was looking at "legitreviews" benchmarks on some of the games (the ones I played most or plan to play) and The 2080 outperformed the 1080ti on every game I was interested in except slightly underperfomed in GTAV. I only plan on getting a 1440p 144hz freesync or gsync monitor at best at the moment and I'm going to need my money for one of those over the 1080ti. Right now I'm just looking into freesync and Gsync to try and see what the real differences between the two are and its its worth saving some money with freesync and how the freesync/gsync monitors stack up to eachother. I'm sure I'll be happy with the 2080rtx regardless of wether or not I have any interest in battlefield 5, metro exodus, or shadow of the tomb raider (which i dont). It will be cool to have a look at ray tracing and I might even turn it on to purposely lower my framerate so that I dont have to worry about tearing with my 1080p 144hz monitors, but I doubt I'll even stick to playing any of the games. I see where people are coming from with the new processor and gpu, the i7 8700 1080ti setup is absolutely sick and this new gen of cards dont even stack up to it on all the games, but on the ones I'll be playing it actually seemed to do better. I think going into the future it might end up performing better on even more games and maybe not all of them, but the price is actually less. I refuse to by used but thanks for the links and info. If you can reccomend a really good display at this point that would be great. I'm not sure how I feel about the acer predator one amazon keeps shoving in my face.

[Monk]

You really need to start using paragraphs heh.

Those still advising a 1080ti over a 2080 without a caveat of if you find one cheap - which is near impossible now - are just ill informed, the 2080 beats it in most areas except raw vram amount, but, I've not seen anything that wants 8GB yet, let alone 11 when it comes to gaming, plus the gddr6 is faster than the gddr5x anyway.

The 9700k is probably the best gaming chip you can choose right now, so good choice there, it's only issue is slightly inflated prices right now due to supply issues, but, nowt we can do about that.

Ray tracing seems to be much more viable on the 2080 now thanks to a recent patch, which is nice, it'll still cripple your performance, but it will atleast stay above 60 now lol.

As for GSYNC vs freesync, freesync is a software solution and only works on amd cards (OK there are ways to force it to work with nvidia but they don't seem reliable).

GSYNC is nvidia's hardware solution, as every GSYNC monitor needs a GSYNC chip, that's where the cost comes from, in my opinion (and the majority of users who have it) after using it for a few years it's worth every penny and from a technical standpoint it works better than freesync, so atleast your getting something for your cash :)

No, that's a bad deal. Just because someone was willing to spend that much on a past generation, doesn't mean it is actually good.

1080 Ti is going to be outclassed soon when DLSS gains more widespread support because it performs better than TAA in theory. When they work out the last of the issues with RTX, the 2080 Ti will blow it out of the water completely.

[bannedy]

I'll start using paragraphs lol. I hope games don't end up needing more than 8gb any time soon. I need about 6500 for siege on ultra with the ultra texture packs so I'll be good there. The problem is I'll probably get more than 144hz on ultra and I'm thinking I can just deal with vsync because I've used it before and still done really well in games. Tearing goes away but with added latency and even with the added latency I play pretty well for the most part, I usually run casual matches anyway.

So if you were going to get a 1440p 144hz gsync monitor what would you say is the best one to go for right now? Or are you aware of any manufacturers working on one that's coming out soon that will be better than the ones they have now. All I'm seeing is this acer predator one, Dell has one that I think is like 28''

I've had a good experience with benq monitors my whole life, never any dead pixels and I'm happy with the way they look. But this 1080p 144hz one is definitely going to start tearing with this build without Gsync so I'm gonna need something better. Preferably 1440p. I should also say that I prefer smaller 24'' monitors, would 1080p 240hz be a better way to go if you're going to stay at that size? Would I really see an improvement in 1440p or should I just go for super smooth 1080p?

[Harry Gumdropzap]

i like the build i like it
choosing your monitor is mostly preference, but me personally i would go with a 1440p 144hz simply because i like performance, and i like to have my games look good

if you dont care about graphics, get the 1080p 240hz monitor
if you care about performance and graphics, get the 1440p 144hz monitor
if you care about just looks i would get a 4k monitor (probably wont be that swell with ray-tracing on games like battlefield 5)

they do have 1440p 165hz monitors around the 600 dollar mark if your interested in that

but next-gen ryzen processors are coming out soon, rumors saying next month
but i dont think there was an official statement on that?
a leak got out having the ryzen 3rd gens specs
ryzen 3 3300 to have 6 cores 12 threads at 99 dollars
ryzen 5 3600 to have 8 cores 16 threads at 179 dollars
ryen 7 3700 to have a whopping 12 cores 24 threads at 299 dollars
ryzen 9 (yes 9) 16 cores and 32 threads at 449 dollars
pretty good deal if you ask me, if your willing to wait a little you could probably get these if you want

[bannedy]

yea the truth is once I get this build I'm not even going to look at anything computer related for atleast 5 years lol. If I do I'll be hating myself for not just waiting a little longer for the good stuff. all that stuff you mentioned sounds amazing, if anyone's reading this, WAIT!
DON'T BUY ANYTHIHNGGG

I'm going to see how everything runs on this display and if I can't put up with the tearing or deal with the Vsync then I'll just buy a display. I'm going to get the 1440p 144hz gsync because I do like to have the best of both. 4k 144hz monitors cost as much as the computer almost.
