relavis Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 With that motherboard, you shouldn't have needed a Wifi Adapter. I have the same board as you and it has an onboard wifi chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol07 Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Why did you spend the money they gave you for your your college / books / on a computer..I mean at 17 .. Wouldn't you like a car over a computer or something... It wasn't money for books, it was money to live on, and it was an ample amount. I already have a car that is in good shape, I already have every textbook I need, and I have money for rent every month. I also have a job so... We have this thing in FL called Bright Futures and if you have a GPA of above 3.5 they will pay for every penny of your tuition. The rest came from pell grants and scholarships that I got Edited February 17, 2018 by Sol7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna wait for Nvidia to release their new Volta series but didn't want to wait that long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawBerry Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Looks like a good build, coulda went cheaper on Power Supply and maybe if you don't NEED a second monitor coulda upgraded the GPU and maybe added water cooling, otherwise it looks good! But I also get the this time of year, computer parts are at their peak in price. fortis any higher gpu would cost him 1000$+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol07 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 fortis any higher gpu would cost him 1000$+ Nah they aren't too horrible right now. If I put an extra $200 in, I could have bought a 980 probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawBerry Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Nah they aren't too horrible right now. If I put an extra $200 in, I could have bought a 980 probably sad thing is 1060 is better than 980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol07 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 sad thing is 1060 is better than 980 http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-980-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1060-6GB/2576vs3639 980 is slightly better than the 1060. But the difference is so small that it's not even close to worth a $200 increase. Had I not bought a 1060 I would've waited for the Volta Series. They are supposed to retail the 2070 at around $500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
