Tp4 List:
- 2TB Nvme ssd
- 2TB Sata ssd
- 5700XT, if price is right.
It's kind of ridiculous that 1060s still sell for $150 on ebay. was hoping they'd be $75 by now.
- Some sort of lightweight + Warm clothing thing. Still researching this one.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/10theJm.gif)
1660s or TI
Similar to a 1070 but much lower heat output and noise.
Not much for me to upgrade otherwise, my current gpu is just a bit loud under load but component-wise it's all good.
Yeah, at double the price and almost double the heat output.1660s or TI2070super though.. if really want to frag hard..

GTX 1660 TI = 117 watts 70fps avg ~ $250
RTX 2070 S = 209 watts 100fps avg ~ $500
(Far Cry and BFV @ 1440p on ultra, as per Guru 3D)
My current card (RX 580) does all I need, it's just noisy and hot (190 watts). The 2070 would actually run even hotter than what I currently have (though it would be working less hard, so that could be a wash).
Beware of Budget laptops this year guys, If you factor in the Upgrades, they're not very good deals. you might as well start with a more expensive base.
And just in case peeps don't remember,
NEVER BUY SINGLE CHANNEL LAPTOP EVER..
Finally, laptop screens, budget laptops are shipping with 6-bit non-dithered screens now, This ontop of 60% srgb color gamut , WITHOUT calibration, it's not pretty. Think pictures left in the sun, get a bit pale/ photo bleached. This is particularly visible in the REDs, very muddy and not Ruby-bright.
Why are 1080s still $1000+ >:D
They've been around HOW long? Almost 4 freaking years ago? In fact I think they cost more now than this same time last year.
I'm never gonna upgrade my gpu it seems :'(

It's old, but not outdated.
It's a one generation old, mid tier card, but you have to realize the gains since it came out have been relatively minor.
It's not like comparing a 960 and a 760, Nvidia was making pretty good jumps between generations at that point, they have not lately and this is why the 10 series cards sat on shelves for so long. It's also why Nvidia released RTX, they needed something to market to people and sell new cards. How else were they going to deal with the MASSIVE FLOOD of 1070s and 1080s entering the used market when mining died. If 1080 was still "the best" and those were suddenly plentiful on the used market for cheap who would bother buying a new 1080? The people who really wanted one and could afford it already bought one and the lower tiers would be happy buying them used if they were pennies on the dollar.
This is also why Nvidia has something like 14 different 2060 models (seriously, there is a bunch), they want to flood you with options, even if it confuses you in order to make sure there is not only a card for every budget but also to make darn sure you question buying that older 1080. I know people point to AMD as the driving force on Nvidia pricing, but I also guarantee you the used market was a major concern for them.
5700xt is the best deal, but leslieann has that thing about power use.Using power is easy, the problem is getting heat out.
I'd still buy a 1080 if it was cheaper..

I think this BF, it's possssible we see a 5700xt for $280 -300 ish..

Less power in = less heat you need to get out.

I think we need to see what TP actually uses for a computer.
When will they stop pretending this has anything to do with Friday and just call it 'the big November sale'?
When will they stop pretending this has anything to do with Friday and just call it 'the big November sale'?"Holiday Sale"
So the standard bump up the price then mark as 50% off when it's only really 10% a week later? I noticed this in the supermarket, when the price goes up plan to eat it next week :))When will they stop pretending this has anything to do with Friday and just call it 'the big November sale'?"Holiday Sale"
And they won't stop because it's a marketing ploy, there's actually very few really good deals which are just there as loss leaders. Many stores make 60-80% of their yearly income during the holidays, Best Buy and bicycle shops in particular. Christmas orders in these industries are often placed 6 or more months in advance.
Pro tip, if you want a bicycle for Christmas don't wait until December, buy it in Oct. or early Nov. and be sure to negotiate a deal, especially in Oct. when no one is buying and rent is due. And be sure to take it home, shady shops will sell it out from under you with or without the promise of getting you another in time, which they may or may not be able to do. Even good bike shops become the shadiest of used car dealerships during the holidays.

Tp4 memorize the prices of computer parts every year. It's impossible to Trix Tp4 on parts prices.

That's an anti n00b measure.

I got the 1TB 860 EVO I wanted for $110 today. I know it's not the fastest SSD, but I'm satisfied with my 250 GB 840 and just wanted more space.
I guess a 1660 ti. Maybe.

Any thoughts? I think I have around 47cm of width based on the specs found of what I think is my current monitor

It's always easier to get a bigger desk, than making the monitor smaller.

You haven't seen the desk, it's like a cupboard and the pile on top nearly touches the ceiling :)) Not to mention having to pay for a desk I don't want or need...
The world is the computer, the computer is the world, Nothing else much matters. There is only 1 arena of optimization.
Less everything else, m0ar Computer Space.
I've seen people use metal L brackets instead of table w/ legs. This saves And Gives alot of space.

Thanks for the reminder how pointless life is, in my fuzzy haze I'd managed to steer clear of such thoughts. That my second biggest problem is the possibility of having a mismatched desk so I can fit the stupid size monitor the world tells me I want says it all.
I have no idea what use an L bracket is compared to a desk either - I guess it's a wall mounted pseudo monitor stand? But then where do you put your keyboard, or computer for that matter.

F5 F5 F5.. Gettn' ready people.. it's almost time.. warm up dat ethernet.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/fIgQDR3.gif)
Steam Controllers are $5 + shipping right now, last chance to ever get one. I wound up paying $14.31 all told, not bad at all.
I've been curious to see how it performs, and the price is right.
Home from work, quick shower then off out - still no time for shopping :))
Very Frustrated.. some ssds are on the VERGE of being a gud' deal, but no vendors are kicking it over the edge..I've seen more than a few places mention that the really good deals have been few and far between compared to years past.

Honestly, that's good.
I hear there are good deals on Intel this year. :))

My understanding (depending on who you talk to) is that Microcenter was selling 8 or 9 AMD for every Intel CPU on Black Friday deals. I'd expect further Intel price cuts either just after New years or heavy ones in March, depending on how they interpret this quarter's sales. Don't expect them before New Years though, Intel is reactionary, not pro-active.
