      Just to let people know, Nvidia has stopped making GTX 1080 Ti's.
      They're still making the low-end and mid-range cards.

      And as I suspected, prices for the GTX 1080's and GTX 1080 Ti's are starting to inflate absurdly in our already inflated GPU Market.
      Why?
      They're getting poised to release the next set of GeForce cards: GTX 1180 and GTX 1170. It should be here in a matter of week(s) to a few months. The same happened to the GTX 980 Ti prices back in 2016, and to the GTX 780 Ti back in 2014… not sure about before then.

        It will be interesting to see the performance jump from the 10XX series to the 11XX series. That will be a big driver of further price reductions for the 10XX cards.

        My gut feeling is that the performance jump won't be as big as the jump between the 9XX series and 10XX series. Also, that the 11XX series will be available closer toward the end of the year, rather than the next couple of weeks.

        • Tythefly86 on 24/05/2018 - 16:06

          An article at Tom's Hardware says sooner than you think. They believe they have a reliable source and Nvidia will be releasing the Turing gpu founders cards in July with 3rd party variants following from August-September. I also don't think the jump will be quite as big but it is suspected to be decent with the drop in transistor size/more efficiency on top of gddr6 and higher cuda cores, tmu's, etc. The 2year old pascal series is old and way too pricey for something that is going to be outdated/outperformed very soon.

      I'm confident you can find a decent 1080ti for under $1000, as well as the 8700k for ~$460. Pretty steep prices on the PSU and the SSD as well.

      This is a $2400 build even with the silly prices that still exist, and even then why wouldn't you just wait 7-12 weeks for a better GPU for at most $1000. Buying right now is a sucker's game, unfortunately.

      • fertiliser on 22/05/2018 - 19:53
        +12

        because 7-12 weeks from now you can make the same argument. At some stage you just need to bite the bullet and buy

        • jasswolf on 22/05/2018 - 20:00
          +9

          No, then you'd be making the argument to wait at least 18 months…

          If you want to wait and buy at launch, do not by the 1180: buy the 1170, which will be at most $850 (and equivalent in performance to the 1080ti). If you're prepared to wait for launch pricing to settle, you should get the 1180 for under $950, which will be significantly better than this card.

          The only question marks on those cards will be HDMI 2.1 (and VRR) support. If they don't have them, I'm not sure there's much point to buying the 1180.

        • crfnx on 22/05/2018 - 21:11

          @jasswolf: What is considered significantly better in this case. I've seen numbers that suggest 18% increase over a 1080ti.
          50% over the 1080.

        • justtoreply on 22/05/2018 - 21:55

          Nah, not for the gpu since its a disproportionate cost in the system. Anything else, sure, bite the bullet

        • jasswolf on 22/05/2018 - 22:33
          +1

          @crfnx: 50% minimum with the 1080 between the predicted bump in cores, clock speed, memory bandwidth and architecture improvements, and there's no reason to doubt this based on nVidia's track record with these more marginal silicon shrinks. It'd be 40% alone based on the core bump.

          The 1180 vs 1080 ti are expected to have the same core count, so that'll come down to clock, memory and architecture differences and enhancements. 20% seems a safe number.

          That puts it the 1180 roughly as a 4k/90 fps card once you consider on-going optimisations (and probably turning down something like AA settings a smidge). Given that there are currently no 1440p/240Hz monitors, and 4k/144hz GSync monitors are starting at US $2000, I wouldn't recommend an 1180 unless you planned on buying a TV next year AND it supports HDMI 2.1.

        • Autonomic on 22/05/2018 - 22:49

          @jasswolf:

          The questions is buy the 1180 or wait for the 1180Ti

        • jasswolf on 22/05/2018 - 23:21

          @Autonomic: if you're planning on buying a 4k/120Hz HDMI 2.1 TV in the next 2 years, I'd wait.

          I suspect most people asking that question are sitting on a 1080 or 980ti, to which I ask if they plan on spending $1000-$2000 on a suitable monitor to go with it.

          You don't want to be that (profanity) who drops $7000 on GPUs and screens just to be an early adopter.

        • belispeak on 23/05/2018 - 01:50

          @jasswolf:

          That is just speculation though - we don't really know what nvidia will do, and they could opt for a minor refresh. Maybe 1180 will be ~1080ti performance at 1080 price, have the 1180ti as a 20% improvement on the 1080ti, and then unveil a massive leap forward on 7nm.

        • jasswolf on 23/05/2018 - 12:26

          @belispeak: they have a track record of increasing the die size when it's a minor process shrink (or no shrink). The only exception to this is from the GTX 400 series to the 500 series, because they were 6 months apart (i.e. the GTX 500 series was basically the 400 Ti series).

          The 12nm FinFET from TSMC is basically their fully matured 16nm process, so a die increase is guaranteed. Combine all of that with architecture improvements and GDDR6 VRAM, and the same core count should give a double digit performance increase. The only thing that is likely holding in this generation is the TDP (i.e. the 1160 through to the 1180 will have the same power draw as the 1060 to 1080).

          I agree with you that the next move is 7nm, but they will wait for that to mature. First-gen TSMC 7nm will be low-power (i.e. mobile), so I wouldn't expect 7nm nVidia products before late 2019, probably after AMD's Navi, which is only expected to roughly match these upcoming cards in terms of performance per dollar (though hopefully with lower TDP and perhaps some overhead for overclocking).

        • Tythefly86 on 24/05/2018 - 16:15

          @belispeak: I highly doubt a minor refresh is coming when you have reputable companies like Tom's hardware claiming they have sources saying otherwise: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-turing-faq,37067.ht…

    • Scoobth on 22/05/2018 - 19:53

      There are 500gb nvme drives over $100 cheaper than the one in your pick, and they are probably getting the win 10 licence for $40 as well as PSUs that are around $40 cheaper.

      I recon you could build close to the same price and maybe even cheaper.

      As a package built from a single supplier the deal is still great.

    I bought this exact PC a few months ago for about $60 cheaper. Its a great machine. Couple of criticisms are that the case has no fans apart from the CPU cooler. The GPU I got with mine is an Inno 3D base model and the cooler is absolutely terrible. Playing something like BF1 and you will be rocking 81 to 85c temps the entire time. Not guaranteed you will get this gpu because my friend got a ASUS with a better cooler, but he had to wait a while for his system to come so mightve been because they were out of stock of the cheapest card.

    Make sure you budget in buying 3 extra case fans to add to this case. Its actually a pretty good case apart from the lack of cooling included.

        And most users would buy a cheaper PC, but 32gb is appropriate for a system this price. Your point?

        • magic8ballgag on 22/05/2018 - 21:54

          It's not appropriate, it's just what is expected by some.

        You will never need more than 640K RAM!

    • WinstonWithAY on 22/05/2018 - 21:12

      Off topic, but why are RAM prices so high? I saw a 128gb kit on Newegg for $1700

      • exit on 22/05/2018 - 21:26

        There has been a RAM shortage over the past years due to mobile phone companies buying them up, presumably at a higher price than PC users would pay for them.

          They also had some "magical fires" when prices were getting cheap.

          Actually they have been indicted for price fixing/cartel behaviour this year. Their excuse over the past couple of years is shortage due to mobile demand, but the reality is price fixing.

    Can you make it cheaper please?

    I do not understand why they used 2400mhz ram on a system with a CPU that has a 2666mhz memory controller.

    Something dodgy there.

    • Diji1 on 22/05/2018 - 20:32

      No, not really.

    • burgermaniac on 22/05/2018 - 21:33

      Just means that it isn't capable of full speeds. Memory speed doesn't matter unless you do highly intensive tasks, including video editing and rendering.

    they don't tell you the brand of the parts. No deal.

    There seems to be multiple possibilities but no choice on which one.

      Yeah I ordered a PC from them at the start of this year, and I requested to know which parts were being used and they gave me a vague answer like ''whatever parts we have in stock''. I specifically requested an Asus branded GPU, since they did tell me that they planned to use some crap Chinese brand 1080Ti, and when I picked it up it was thankfully an Asus one, so there's that at least.

      • lostn on 23/05/2018 - 17:17

        That's good if you're picking it up. Online would be a lucky dip.

        I definitely want someone who does good warranty, not some chinese brand.

  • Nyclix on 22/05/2018 - 21:56

    Just got a similar build which set me back $4,500. I had a 2tb solid state, a really nice case, RGB fans, cost of assembly and shipping.. this price is really good. Wow

  • Hsinking on 22/05/2018 - 22:53

    This price is fine, but this is not a real deal, once this 20% off promotion is over, they will drop their price by around 20%.

  • PeeDee on 22/05/2018 - 23:21

    Holy shit. What kind of stuff would this computer run, do that a typical computer can't?

    • shiny1 on 22/05/2018 - 23:44

      Play games at really high quality. Some people care about that stuff.

      That's kind of like looking at a Ferrari and saying "Holy shit, what kind of stuff could this do that a Toyota Corolla can't?"

        Yeah, and if someone's asking that question, they're obviously not the intended market.

    PC Byte have been good to me in the past in terms of shipping something upon purchase and getting it next day or within a couple of days and the prices have been good.
    But god forbid you do not have anything go faulty, their warranty process when it came to my GTX1060 was over 2 months of waiting to receive it back from them and then getting it back with a 'repaired' sticker on it and still faulty lmao.
    After I CC'd in the ACCC they organised collection for the old card and sent a new one… Lets hope this one doesn't fault again

  • T1OOO on 23/05/2018 - 12:09

    Must have a Samsung 960pro
