Yep, really sucks that that happened when many are hoping to use their tax returns this time of the year for a pc build.

RAM shortages are a bigger problem than miners buying GPUs that you don't really need to build a decent PC

You could get one of those Ryzen APUs in the meantime and get a dedicated GPU later

Yeah, I'm glad I built my PC before the whole cryptocurrency mining thing got big.

Although now I'm looking into SLI for my 1070 just because I can, but damn... Shit is expensive.

CE told me a few days ago that prebuilts are actually the way to go right now because the prices are so inflated. Recommended me these two.

I hear GPU prices have like doubled or tripled.

But that's ok because like CE always says you can build a PC that outperforms any console for $300-400 so we're talking what, $450-600?

Still less what my non-gaming PC cost to build.

I got a GTX 1060 for a decent price a few weeks ago. At least I think it was decent. I guess you just have to get lucky.

even without the crazy prices you'd be better off just selling your 1070 and buying a 1080Ti instead tbh

SLI is a dead meme
