16GB of DDR4 3200-3466

Best I've come across so far:
G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Price/GB - $10.31 $164.99 @ Newegg

@Nuckles56 Considered swapping the 2700X for the 2600X? It's discounted from $229.99 to $209.99

I have, but I decided that I want the extra 2 cores for streaming and recording, plus I don't think that I'll be purchasing it for a few months yet either
 
Right now since my 2TB WD Black just bricked itself. I'm circling a 1TB MX500, I really want to spring for the 2TB but can't justify spending 500 on a HD haven't done so in forever and hope to continue the trend.
Also on my wishlist is the the 1tb 970 Evo or WD Black Nvme. Probably pull the trigger if I come across a great deal on one.
After that is going to be revisit of the GPU, RX580 is doing fine. Vega 56 was a disappointment pricing-wise and I'm lukewarm towards a 1070ti.
After that it's the monitor, the one I want probably doesn't exist yet so I don't think about it too much.

I would consider but I want to believe that my old drive is sacrificing itself in order for me to buy an M.2 drive.

2 TB SSDs tend to hand in on performance a little, personally for now I'd recommend sticking to 1 TB max.

That 2 TB Micron 1100 I posted on sale is rated by Micron for the same performance as the 1 TB/512 GB.

My hardware wish list includes upgrade to everything :cry: ... I foresee moving to newer platform and a new cpu and ddr4 and ssd and new gpu ... only things that have any chance to survive the exodus are the psu and the case
 
A Vega 64, a PCIe slot to NVMe adapter for two NVMe cards, a single 512 or 1TB NVMe card, and a second 4k display of the same make and model that I already have could be nice. Problem is that all of those things together would probably run me at least $1,400 USD and I'd still have my skt2011. If I upgrade the platform, it's going to be an easy 2 grand at least which is a bit much. I can't really justify it right now but, it's going to eventually come, I think.
 
right now I need MOAR COARZZZZ. LOL wanna build a badass xeon multisocket server.

On the pre-built side though found a very good deal on CL (poweredge) for one that had 2 xeons (8c16t) 32GB RAM, quad ethernet but no HDDs for only 650 but the damn seller won't respond :(

I'd totally drive down to Charleston for it. but mehhhhh! they won't reply. prolly either sold it or it's a TARP.
 
a gtx 1080 or ti :) replace this slow rx 580 8gb :P
 
I need speakers BAD. They're crap microlab m880, like 7 years old. My ears start to swell. Wanna get a 2.0 system or a soundbar.

For bookshelf type 2.0 you can look at Magnat or Edifier. Good price/quality across the board and no nonsense stuff. Passive speakers and an amp will still provide best quality and the most options to set things up + tend to last much longer than an active system like a soundbar.

Why not Denon or Pioneer they are affordable and good and easy to get a hold of as well. I love my Denon HEOS homecinema and heos 1. Aiwa Exos is nice as well. Got 2 of them. I can link them and have one be the left and one be the right. makes for nice PC speakers. Have em connected to my DAC.

Nice you all I need is decent passive 2.0 for $100.
 
Not computer related, but I'd like a 4k disc player. I have a 4k drive on my PC, but it doesn't even work lol. At least not for movie playback. Stay away from them btw.. way too much trouble (the DRM/locking prevents it from working on anything but Intel GPUs. It's retarded). The plus side is it burns 100GB discs, so I still could use it.
 
Titan V!!! ive got 800 saved so far... hopefully another 800 next month...and again the month after... im aiming to buy the card in august!!! ive got my 1800x and a mobile 770 to sell aswell to help drum up the funds...
 
Now, a generator... Damn power is out!!!! Already having a shitty time as it is

well im selling an 1800x over in the commerce part of the forum.. if I can tempt you!!! lol
 
Nothing right now. Last year I planned a new PSU (EVGA 650 G3) and additional 16 GB G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 3000 RAM. I bought FSP Hydro G 650 W instead of EVGA because it was 15% cheaper and very similar considering characteristics and quality. I didn't upgrade RAM and don't plan to do it since prices soared 2,5 times in the last 18 months.
Instead I sold 8 GB DDR3 1333 SO-DIMM from my laptop for double the price I bought them and bought brand new 8 GB DDR3 1066 for less than I sold used DDR3 1333. I wouldn't sold them unless I had two memory dumps. I also bought C2D T9900 to replace C2D P8700 and, totally unplanned, working Intel Xeon W3530 in mint condition for a keychain. I'm waiting those two to arrive.

So that's it for now and probably for the next year.
 
Hoping to seal the deal on a used 1080ti soon. I'm eyeing a 1080ti trio. Bidding finishes on Thursday,wish me luck,I'm willing to spend a pretty penny on this since it's probably one of the best cooling solutions out there and the card has 2021 warranty, I'm not going to skimp,wanna get this thing.
 
Thinking of buying 16GB DDR4, but I've yet to encounter any out of memory error when gaming. The only game that give problems with maxed texture setting is Rise of Tomb Raider, it'll crash to desktop with no error, lower it to high fixed this. So don't know whether it will be worth it just for one games.
 
My gut is that 8GB is plenty as long as you have the browser or any program that's hogging memory closed

Also a pc restart if needed as well
