High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

If you want to lose all your data within a few months then buy that Kingston SSD. If not then get SanDisk, Samsung or some other reliable company. Kingston’s SSD’s used to be good however they’re ass now.

You don’t need a 750W power supply for a system that won’t use anymore than 350W. SeaSonic make great power supplies: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TgW9TW/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii520bronze

Did a couple switches to the PSU you put and I switched to an Inland SSD as right now I'm using a 120GB Inland SSD and it's caused no issues and acting how I want it to act

Cut a couple corners to round it out at around $850 as I really have no need for a GTX 1070 if I'm only going to be playing at 1080p 60hz

Switch the PSU to an EVGA 750w so there's room to change things, and if it's in your budget, upgrade that card a bit, a 2060 isn't bad (Or a 1660)

Get newer card no point buying 10 series in new condition , , get the 1660 instead
The 1660 is not worth at all or any of the new GTX cards. 1660 ti or 1660
It's either a 1060, 1070, or something like a 590 or a maybe even a 2060[DOUBLEPOST=1553467155][/DOUBLEPOST]

I won't be overclocking and he wrote the suggestion when there was a GTX 1070
I've looked at the card a bit and it supplies basically everything I need but I don't think it's future proof.
I think a 2060 fits my needs but a downfall to that is that I won't really be able to find it used

Don't buy it used, I'd just bite the bullet if I were you

Quite like buying something like a GPU used, I'd rather pay $200 for something like a GTX 1070 (I can get a founders edition for that price!) rather than paying $300-400 for it new, especially if it performs how I want it to perform. I can find them extremely cheap locally and online
I don't know why so many of you guys are opposed to buying things used, you can literally lower the price by half if you do things right. Only thing that shouldn't be bought used is the powersupply.

Ex: KristoferYee building a PC better than the HP omen for less than half the price

If you get it from a good seller than yes, but if it's been mined on, it shortens the life span by so much. A good place to get used hardware is /r/hardwareswap

Most of the people auctioning off their GPU's seem to take pictures of the actual PC with the card in it, and most of them state that it's mainly due to upgrading. I live in a middle class-upper middle class area so I don't think there's much miners around here. Thanks for the subreddit

I've decided to go with a GTX 1070 that I'll get sourced locally for $200-$220
I'll try to buy my RAM used, and find this case used or for a good deal.
Rest I'll buy new (mouse, keyboard, cpu, mobo, psu, storage)

get a pictek t16 mouse ($17) and a corsair k55 keyboard ($50) instead
also for cpu, i'd suggest just getting an i5 since you need intel if you wanna do quicksync

Don't like non mech keyboards other than Ornata and Cynosa which are both $50 AND not Tenkeyless and I'm keeping my HyperX Pulsefire Surge that I'
ve had for months

I currently have an i5 in my rig and quicksync isn't of much use to me
