I see that, and that is why I thought I would see what replies I get on an unbiased forum, as seen from the replies already, people are just saying what they see and now I am understanding a little further, it is not a big deal, I just have to stay patient as I am sure something will work out for the best.

What are the requirements of this PC? I feel like you're buying a lambo when what you need is a focus (ha!)

Post your total budget for the PC and what you want it for in this forum:

Buying a top end card does not make your money last longer, better to get a mid range and save the rest for an upgrade in the near future. Why pay the flagship premium to be playing with a super old card down the line if all you are after is functionality?

What games do your boys play and on what monitor?

Please don't tell me you are hunting for a Ti to ramp up minecraft...

I would also be using this computer, and want a good computer, I want to learn more, the prOn is something that doesnt interest me anymore I am nearly 40, I would rather grate my sack

Short of money... spending £500 on a GPU and now considering buying a 2080ti instead. Err, OK.

Not really sure myself, I want it to be good for as long as possible.

Then buy a 2060 and put a bit of cash away every month. A 1080ti is a silly thing to buy now.

Did not say when that would be though, once my budget is used I wont have any money, but at least the kids will be occupied, and myself as I know nothing about computers or youtube or anything really, if it seems stupid to you then I am sorry for that, I mean no offence, buying that GPU is nearly my whole budget gone, I am banking on my current machine being good enough for a while.

What is your current machine and monitor?

How much are you planning on saving a month?

What games will they play?

I have been putting cash away now for a while, I would rather save until I can get what I want, it is hard at the moment as I also do not know what GPU is going to be adequate for my needs.

It's entirely up to you. Your money. Your kids. Nothing to do with me

Personally I would be recommending something like a Vega 56 or NV 1070 if on a budget... and a used one too. That would last a while and still run games well.

You don't know what you want if you don't know what is adequate.

Not sure on Mboard its MSI, running a 4790k, 32gb ddr3 2400 hyperx beast, the gpu is a AMD r9 200 card, and using a 28 inch AOC monitor I think. I have this for sometime now.

But I just go off most expensive, and the latest, but I am unrealistic, anyway I will be back my electric is about to go.

GiraffePencils · 16 Jan 2019 at 17:00

I'm sitting with a 290x,
I play everything, no real issues with any game on a single 1080p monitor
Future proofing's not a thing with PC's, Buy what you need, upgrade when you need.

Again sorry if this offends, I dont think there is anything wrong in me trying to get soemthing for my family.

No, there's nothing wrong with asking. Kicking up a fuss and boycotting the company because they said no is a massive overreaction though.

This has to be a joke surely?

You're wanting to spend over £500 on a gpu and are running out of electric on a pre-pay meter?

What about if they offend your delicate sensitivities when defining what being a man is about with an advert?

I am assuming laptop or phone battery

This thread has fried my mind after an already hectic day.

Stop the world I want to get off.
