Those high end prices are not high end enough.

Shitty and outdated info. Also don't use the word "futureproof", even if nVidia cards age like chicken breast regardless of VRAM issues.

Please take this shit down, or update it.

Just built my first PC, I'm lucky that I currently have the money to make it a very good one, but man it was more difficult than anticipated

Call themselves pc masterrace, can't spell processor.
BriskPanda
Use logical increments, that's not out dated.
jamesx
The problem with PC master race is that the info needs revised every 6-12 months
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
if you actually go to their subreddit, it IS updated in time. this is just a crappy repost.

980ti maxes out 4k at 60? Ha. Haha. Hahahahahah no. 1080 doesn't max out 4k 60 this is so bs. (Source: I have a MSI 980ti gaming 6G)

www.logicalincrements.com, not my site but it's far more up to date than this old image and they have more tiers as well
Exactually
This is outdated. No 1000 series graphics cards and no mention of Kaby Lake.
Tetronas
This is a very old reference. Outdated
EverythingISeeIsAJojosReference
Yeah. Some of these prices for the premium have gotten cheaper with the release of Polaris and Pascal GPUs. Also the 300 series GPUs
TheEightfoldPath
To be fair, afaik the 860k beats the 8350 in single core performance.

repost so old its outdated and a bad overall deal $ wise

Fellow computer "nerds" would already know all this

Look at me. I'm the computer nerd now.

Not to mention it's out dated

I just put together a "monster" pc on newegg... 10,000 in parts without the water cooling system... 1,800 will not make a monster
an ork thats only crotch level is still an ork.
BastardOperatorFromHell
My R9 Fury must be defective, it plays everything I got maxed at 4K, i'll put an RMA in right away. Thanks for the protip!
DwaneDibbley
First, its outdated. Second, it wasnt any good even when it wasnt outdated.

Just built a new machine yesterday. Strix X99, i7-6800 4.5ghz OC, GTX 1070. Beast
DubiousTrees
This info is terrible.
ImGonnaRickRollYou
My computer was $5000... BUT to be fair, it's a video editing and 3D animation PC. But godDAMN can it game.

Dont use infographics like these, but particularly this one. Info is outdated and too generalized for what you need from your machine.
bd77
Don't build from the ground up: buy an Optiplex or ThinkCentre and upgrade subsystems as required. Your mobo will be stable and get updates.
Also, you're a fool if you're running the OS, and even games, from anything but an SSD.
Also: $200 monitor paired with a $600 graphics card? Um, no.
Monkfishy
Replace anything that says GTX 9xx with GTX 10xx, replace anything that says R9 2xx or R9 3xx with RX 470 or RX 480.
BattloidKouji
This is old news. who recommends 980s anymore?
ramspock
Go for a GTX1070 instead. Same price as 980 and a vast improvement. That is if you don't want to spend $300 more to get a 1080
BeRad117
I do still under the implication you can get it cheap. A good card is still a good card.
Sorry, I should clarify, I meant at that price point. for $600 you should save $150+ and get a 1070 or spend $50 more and get a 1080
Oh yes you're right. That is something that happens frequently.
mynewcharacter
I have a GTX 980ti, i7-4790k, and 16GB RAM. I have to leave the case open with a table fan blowing on it to keep it cool when playing games
What case do u have?
It's a stock ASUS case, it's the only thing that's hasn't been upgraded. Too small and not enough ventilation for all that power
Ah, well at least you understand that's the problem :)
MyNameThreeTimes
This info is already outdated.
photog
That's because it's a repost
Mack1986
I think your trying to be a smart ass... maybe. But this clearly is at least a year old
flikrdoodles
Could be less than a year. Pascal/Polaris didn't drop until around June, so a few months before it could still be 2016
LivingDecomposition
Yeah, it was outdated when I saw it here like 4 months ago, too.
RickHalcyon
Seems like a very nice template, though. Add a fucking date stamp and keep it updated! What a fun project for that sub to bicker over!
PizzaPizzington
So then where could we find more recent recommendations

Which is the exact argument AGAINST PC gaming in general
MikeHorton
PC gaming isn't exactly dictated by a generation or two of hardware. a 980ti for example will be relevant for quite a while as is the 780/ti
H3RLA
My gpu is now 7 years old (radeon hd 6950) and i can play battlefield 4 etc - no probs at all x3
LittleLordThudleroy
And wrong, a 980 can do 4K, but not well
Guitardrumr
For fairness, it does say you need 2. And dual 980ti's is solid for 4k. Given that the entire 10xx series is better though, still no point.
NeckDeepInAHorse
Uhh... No? A 980 will actually get ~40 fps in 1440
BritishBenzene
1440 is about half the pixels of 4K, so yeah ~20 FPS for 4K is "not well."
Ironbunny
i understand the logic here, but double the pixels doesnt necessarily mean halving the performance. it's a big hit but not a direct ratio.
ZombieEinstein
And a 1070 can do better 4K than a 980
HandiCaptain
The 1060 probably could do 4K better. The 1060 6GB outperforms the 980 (not the 980 Ti) pretty much across the board.
In syntheitc benchmarks, yes. But in-game, the average FPS at 4K of the 980 just barely edges out the 1060.
