Agree to disagree. Anyone looking for a complete system right now will pay $1200+ for the same specs, including Windows 10 etc. And the $44 promo brings it down to basically $900.ID01 wrote: ↑ 570 at 4GB for $500 isn't really a price people are willing to pay. So I wouldn't include that. R7 1700X is also an odd buy, Even if we don't count the up coming Ryzen+ revision in 2 months, most people find more luck getting 1700 clocking pretty much exactly as well as 1700X.
Still, a very decent price, but not very hot in my opinion.
Ryzen R7 1700X is $407 on Amazon.ca right now, $460 on Newegg.ca. Lowest price, AVAILABLE, RX 570 right now I've seen is $480.n-ster wrote: ↑ Let's call it 950$ pre-tax since you pay tax on 1100$ not 946$, but also get that promo card.
RX 570 is like a GTX 970 / GTX 1060 3GB isn't it? So like 300-350$, the Ryzen 1700(X) worth 300~350$. Slow 8GB RAM for Ryzen is worth like 75$. A cheap B350 mobo is 75$. That's 800$ so far. Leaving 175$ for Windows, Case, 1TB HDD, PSU, CD, WIFI/Bluetooth and it being built for you.
I'd say this is a pretty great deal with the current market. If you think a 4GB GTX 570 is worth 500$, than it's an even better deal, but I'll go with my estimate of 350$ ish
1070 is better than 570 by pretty far. So does i7 8700.JiwonC000872 wrote: ↑ I paid $1,716.11 for i7-8700, gtx1070, 8 gb ram with 256gb ssd+1tb HD while ebates offering 8% cash back.
Should I return this and bite this one?
What games are you playing, and what resolution monitor do you have ie 1080p, 2k, 4k?JiwonC000872 wrote: ↑ I paid $1,716.11 for i7-8700, gtx1070, 8 gb ram with 256gb ssd+1tb HD while ebates offering 8% cash back.

RX 570 performance card at 310$ https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX70207. NVIDIA is coming out with "Turing" in March
I hadn't heard about Turing, good thing I just sold my GTX 1070 for significantly more than I bought it for!n-ster wrote: ↑ RX 570 performance card at 310$ https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX70207. NVIDIA is coming out with "Turing" in March
Ryzen 1700 is actually just about the same as the X except it comes with a decent cooler, and I've seen it at 320~350$ a decent amount of times, 365$ right now, and Zen+ coming in april.
Honestly, 650$ for both of them is a generous evaluation and hardly a "deal" if normal full price a month before new releases is 675$.
Honestly the more I think about it, this is more of a pretty good deal than a great one.
EDIT: with the extra 50$ off maybe a great one afterall
SSD sure, RAM, for now I'd just try and minimize RAM usage when playing games (no 55 tabs of chrome open at the same time) and you should be fineJiwonC000872 wrote: ↑ Gonna play battleground, COD, Fifa18. Also, my monitor is 1080p.
Should I get the deal and add ram+SSD?
For 1080p gaming GTX 1060/RX570/580 is all you need. This may be another deal you want to consider as I just posted it over on reddit, also Dell, similar to your system but more RAM. Also was the amount you paid with taxes?JiwonC000872 wrote: ↑ Gonna play battleground, COD, Fifa18. Also, my monitor is 1080p.

That machine is WAY better than this Ryzen one. Id keep the 8700 & gtx1070 over this deal.JiwonC000872 wrote: ↑ I paid $1,716.11 for i7-8700, gtx1070, 8 gb ram with 256gb ssd+1tb HD while ebates offering 8% cash back.
