Those butt fuckers mining bitcoins have ruined the graphics card market, RAM is almost double what it usually is, motherboards are too high, etc. Well, basically I need everything except a GPU. I'm also not looking to have a $1000 PC. I need a bigger case, so I can have a decent amount of RAM, a new motherboard, an i5, a PSU, and maybe an SSD. I can skip the SSD though and just get one of those later. --- If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking systems, there would be a revolution before morning - Andrew Jackson <cite>AllstarSniper32 posted [p:888820917] in I swear so...

Power, price efficiency and core count are their priorities, they are represented like this: 1) Bitcoins are measured against electricity consumed to find them, so less power means more profit. 2) Bitcoin miners don't have losses from crossfire so two 1664 core GTX 970 at 460 are better than one 1920 core GTX 1070 at 380. --- RIP_Supa posted...

AllstarSniper32 10/27/17 5:39:14 AM #12:	To start, I know I want at least an ATX case. I don't know enough about motherboards to know what to look for in them so just going to get whatever I can. I know I want at least an i5 CPU. I figure this will be the most expensive part. I'm not sure exactly how much RAM I need, but I'm thinking I should get at least 8GB of it. I'd probably like a new Hard Drive. I'd like to get an SSD but if I don't get one of those I'd be fine with that. I'm not picky about the power supply so I'd just get what I need. Probably get whatever brand I got for my current PC. I don't need special cooling cause I don't plan to ever delve into overclocking. I have a GTX 960 that I'll transfer over to the new PC. --- If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking systems, there would be a revolution before morning - Andrew Jackson <cite>AllstarSniper32 posted [p:889236756] in I swear so...

trodi_911 10/27/17 8:38:29 AM #18:	Probably not the best pricing on either but here are two builds I'd recommend Less Expensive (i5 7600k ver) https://pcpartpicker.com/user/lolzies0/saved/#view=yPR4CJ More Expensive (i5 8600k ver) https://pcpartpicker.com/user/lolzies0/saved/#view=LT6BP6 The more expensive one has the latest released Coffee Lake Intel CPU and 16GB of RAM and the less expensive one has a Kaby Lake Intel CPU and only 8GB of RAM. There are some things to note: Coffee Lake CPUs are only supported on Z370 motherboards so watch for that even though it has the same socket as Kaby Lake. You can choose whatever case you want. I only put it in there so I could give you an approximate price. You can go with 8 or 16 GB of RAM for either one. Again I gave these options for approximate prices.] The graphics card and the hard drive aren't adding to the price because as you said, you are going to use the ones you already have. I don't live in America so I don't really know the best stores. I just know Newegg and Amazon are usually the ones people use so I just went with those. --- "You rat! How dare you sell me so cheap."
