    I need to give it a run but I'm digging Yakuza 0 right now. Game is def gorgeous at 1440.

    100% agreed. There was a short period of some 1080 models for $360 after rebate/coupon but that was awhile back. 1070's are very strong cards and this is a great price for arguably the best brand.

    The only possible better deal is getting a B-stock 980Ti for sub-$250. When OC'd, the 980Ti comes out the same or a little ahead of a stock 1070.

    If I was in the market for a new build I would buy this ASAP. Ryzen R5 2600 + MSI Gaming Pro Carbon X370 for $210 after $30 mail in rebate.

    Sceptre 27" IPS 4K monitor for $179 and some change. Yeah reviews are iffy but this is easily the cheapest 4K monitor. I believe you can get a 3 year square trade warranty for $5.

    Ryzen 7 1700 8 core CPU for $162.00. Use code PICKUPTEN at checkout. I run a 1700X OC'd to 3.9GHz and I love it.

    Beware on jumping on Ryzen right this minute, though. Zen 2 should show a 13% improvement in IPC over the current Zen+, and should be released in Q1 2019.

    That's a hot price if you need a CPU today, though.

    Do not disagree. For conversation, for those that game, stream, and not do anything else, when does performance start (in a way) leveling out. Like, are we getting to a point where the next series of cpu/gpu are not game changers? I only started PC in 2013 and a 3570K was my intro. I can honestly say I'm not sure if I personally see any difference from that to the 4690K to the 1700X. I'm honestly not sure or if it's me telling myself changing hardware is worth it.

    We're at the point where most games in 1440p/4k are GPU limited rather than CPU.
    Even at 1080p there are games that will end up being GPU limited.

    Ryzen 2 should cause even less CPU limiting.

    We need amd to step up in the gpu market and force more progress there.

    100% agree about AMD and the gpu market. I used a Vega 64 blower for awhile and it was great, but it's price has never been appealing. For kicks I just ran Heaven (old I know) and at 1440P Ultra but tell/AA off my average was 105 fps with a 1700x at 3.9 and 2x Sapphire R9 390 Nitro cards ($120 each). I know crossfire isn't appealing to most but I'm fine with it and can't see any reason to upgrade CPU in the next few years.

    How the hell did you get those at 120 each? And can you let me know next time a deal like that comes up?

    Newegg charges tax now it seems. They go in and out of stock so I set a notify up and when they came back in stock I bought two. Yeah refurbished but it's Newegg and Sapphire so zero worry from me.

    Lenovo-branded "Razer Edition" gaming monitor. 27", 144hz, 1080P with G-Sync, $249.99 normally $629.99. Pretty good deal though some of the reviews are bad. You know what though, I barely trust reviews anymore. When I bought my monitor back in spring, I read a bunch of negative shit about it and it's been fucking perfect. (To be clear though, this is not the monitor I bought).

    *edit* Forgot to add, this expires at midnight tonight, PST.

    Completely agree about reviews. A ton of people shitted on the monitor I bought saying how a VA panel is garbage and 7mm response is unacceptable. Even my wife noticed immediately how much better it looked vs the 4K GTG monitor I had. Try to find some trusted people that have reviewed but pay no mind to a lot of mindless reviews from the sellers site.

    If I'm looking to build in the next month, what parts should I go ahead and grab now and what should I hold out for to see if Black Friday deals surface?

    This.

    Also, if you're definitely going Intel, go ahead and build in the next month. If you're contemplating going AMD, wait for Zen2.

    I would definitely hang tight for Zen2 in Q1 2019 if you can wait. It's supposed to see roughly a 13% improvement to IPC, which is Ryzen's biggest weakness when compared to Core i5/7/9.

    If you don't want to wait, you can hunt a Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal on a Ryzen 7 2700 or 2700x. Since the price of those are pretty cheap, I wouldn't personally go with anything less, though the Ryzen 5 2600 could be a good choice.
